Chapter 239 Ebony: I didn't mean to do that


A short silence ensued.


William and Mark looked at each other in astonishment.


The girl was Ms Gibson?


They had only talked with Ms Gibson once by telephone, but judging from that conversation, they thought she was a financial veteran with strong statistical ability and predicting ability to analyze the stock markets.


So they guessed she was at the age of more than forty.


But the girl in front of them...


She was so young.


She even didn't look like an adult.


After introducing herself, Ebony saw that neither of the two foreign men standing opposite was about to reply to her, so she raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "Hmm?"


William got out of the astonishment and quickly shook hands with Ebony. At the same time, he praised after racking his brains, "Ms Gibson, you are really young..."


Ebony took back her hand, ignored the other people beside her, and said to William and Mark, "Let's talk somewhere else."


They readily said okay.


But Jared suddenly stopped Ebony!


He stared at her with a furious look and sternly questioned, "Ebony, you tricked me! Who do you think you are? How dare you pretend to be me! Do you know I can call the police right away and put you in prison for fraud!"


Ebony looked at Jared indifferently. Considering that William and Mark were standing nearby, she didn't want to disgrace Jared and said tactfully, "Mr. Gibson, please don't get impotently angry and squeal without knowing the specific situation of the matter. Or you will expose your stupidity and make a fool of yourself."


Jared glared at her and scolded, "What are you talking about? You bitc... Ah!"


Before finishing his words, he suddenly felt that his foot had suffered some severe pain.


It hurt so badly that he felt his scalp was almost going to explode!


He looked down and saw Ebony stepping on his instep with the sharp heel of her high-heeled shoe!


The sharp pain made him sweat all over himself!


He couldn't help shouting, "Let go of my foot!"


Ebony slowly moved her foot away and said gently, "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to tread on your foot."


Jared's scream startled many people at the party.


They turned their head to see what happened. Mr. Pitt, who loved anecdotes very much, took out his mobile phone and began to shoot a video.


Jared staggered back two steps with a limp and looked at Ebony in confusion with his eyes full of anger.


He thought Ebony was really crazy!


And she was totally crazy!


Jared gnashed his teeth and cursed, "You bitch! You ingrate! You are the jinx who caused the death of your family. I should have not adopted you. You... Ah!"


Bang! Bang! Bang!


Nobody saw clearly what had happened.


All they saw was that Jared was suddenly hit by something like a meteorite, causing that his face instantly caved in and then he was thrown to the buffet table in front of him and knocked over the table!


All the glasses full of drinks on the table fell off and smashed into pieces. Jared was splashed and his clothes were wet through.


The spectators exclaimed.


William, Mark and Jon, the three front-row spectators, looked at him with wide eyes and stood still with their faces full of amazement.


Cluck!


The lyrical music stopped at the big party.


It was as quiet as a tomb instantly.


The sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground slowly rang.


Ebony, who was in a long black dress, walked slowly and stopped in front of Jared, who was bleeding after being hit by a wine glass.


She shook her delicate hand.


She looked down with her dark eyes at the disgusting middle-aged man with blood on his face.


She said softly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that."


Jared's head was bleeding for being cut by shards of glass and some blood flowed into his eyes. He looked up with red eyes at Ebony who was standing in front of him.


Behind her was a big incandescent chandelier, whose dazzling light shrouded her in such a way that he could not look directly at her.


He murmured, "You... You..."


Ebony raised her head to look at Jon standing nearby, saying, "Vice Chairman Gibson, in the face of an uncivil man, you may choose to punish him just with a slap on the wrist as if a cat claws something. But I think it is not a long-term plan to be kind and patient to him. He will never learn to behave well if you don't teach him a lesson."


Then Ebony looked at Jared and asks with a smile, "Am I right? Mr. Gibson, do you know how to behave well now?"


Jared looked at Ebony while he was unconsciously trembling.


Ebony straightened up, casually smoothed her somewhat wrinkled sleeves, and then said to Jared, "I have to talk to the representatives of AT Group about business, so I won't talk to you. Mr. Gibson, I now inform you that I will attend the shareholders' regular meeting at ten o'clock next Monday morning and I will take the seat of the president."


After that, she turned around and waved to William and Mark, saying, "You..."


Dah!


Before Ebony's words were finished, William and Mark stepped back and kept a safe distance of at least 32 feet from Ebony!


Ebony, "..."


She couldn't help shrugging and then politely continued, "This way, gentlemen."


William and Mark hesitated for a while and finally decided to follow Ebony to the rest area.


Mr. Duncan walked to the messy scene from behind the crowd. He took a look at Jared, who was in a mess on the ground, and then at the crowd around, who were talking about what just happened. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Jon standing beside him.


Seeing Jon pondering something with a frown and with his head lowered, Mr. Duncan was a little touched. He patted Jon on the shoulder and said, "You know I'm helpless now, right? Look at the messy scene. Why did my party become like that?"


Jon turned to look at Mr. Duncan and suddenly asked, "Do you think I should hire a boxing coach?"


Mr. Duncan was stunned, "Huh?"


Jon said solemnly, "Was it really like that a cat clawed something? I thought I hit him hard... What kind of boxing should I learn? Thai Boxing? Wing Chun? Which one is easier to learn?"


Mr. Duncan, "..."


Ebony talked to William and Mark at the rest area for about twenty minutes.


After talking about official business, William and Mark became less afraid of Ebony.


They asked curiously, "Miss Gibson, was that Kung Fu just now?"


Ebony shook her head after taking a sip of the champagne that was low in alcohol, "Just some ordinary women's self-defense skills. You know, girls should practice some skills to protect themselves from danger."


William and Mark repeatedly praised, "That's great!"


Ebony said modestly, "Actually, it didn't hurt. I just touched Mr. Gibson a little hard. It was because his physical condition was so poor that he tripped and hit himself against the buffet table. It was really not my business."


William and Mark got out of their puzzlement after hearing her explanation. Mark said, "Miss Gibson, I knew it. You look elegant and quiet. You must have no much strength to hurt an adult man."


Ebony said with a smile, "Yes, you are right. I am elega..."


Jingle...


William's mobile phone rang. When taking out his mobile phone, he carelessly got his loose wedding ring out of his pocket that he planned to send to the store to be tightened tomorrow.


After slinking around on the ground, the silver ring rolled underneath the couch.


William was so shocked that he squatted down and reached to grope underneath the couch.


But he didn't get anything.


Mark got up and said, "Let's ask waiters to find it..."


As soon as Mark finished his words, the huge couch in front of him, which he just sat on and was sbout 6.5 feet long and 3.2 feet wide, suddenly hung in the air.


Hanging in the air...


Hanging in the air!


It was Ebony who grabbed the armrest on one side of the couch with one hand and lifted the couch up. She turned her head to look at William who was squatting in front of the couch with his mouth open in shock, and asked with concern, "Did you find it?"


William, "......"


Mark, "......"


William couldn't help shrivering in fear and picked up the ring that was under the couch quickly. Then he and Mark walked back several steps and stood far away from Ebony.


After putting the couch down, Ebony sat down on it, dusted her palm, and said, "Happy for you. Your ring looks expensive. It would be bad if you couldn't find it."


She continued, "Come on, have a seat. What were we just talking about? Oh, you said I was quiet. Indeed, I am quiet and introverted. So in terms of our future cooperation, you are not supposed to bully me because I'm young and kind... Eh, Mr. William, Mr. Mark, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating?"
