Chapter 694 Calm

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie was clear that Miss Bonnie was jealous of Patriarch's bringing herself back to the Mccarthy
family. Without her, the Mccarthy family was Bonnie's, but now Bonnie had to share with her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She had always been the least willing to have something to do with such a rich lady, who was arrogant
by virtue of her family background, but this woman was her half sister. “Miss Bonnie, I've never
regarded myself as a socialite. Fame and fortune are just as transient as fleeting clouds. Patriarch is
here, and it’s a charity dinner. I hope we can behave ourselves and not to become the attention the
party. Or else people will laugh at us!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Bonnie's eyes were bursting with fire. She raised her head and stepped forward. She said in a
domineering way, lowering her voice, "Who are you? It’s not your turn to teach me how to do things!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Then she took another look at Marley who was talking to Will not far away. Seeing that he didn’t pay
attention to them, Bonnie said ironically. "It's hard to play with Marley, isn't it? Sylvie, he doesn't love
you. I heard that he used to have a girlfriend who he loved deeply and they had lived together for five
years. If it wasn't for Hughes Group's crisis, he wouldn't break up with his girlfriend!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As soon as she spoke, Sylvie's heart trembled. She really didn't know that. No wonder Marley
complained about her. With that, she turned to leave with calmness.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Where are you going?" Bonnie scorned, reaching out to pull her dress belt.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let go of me. I don't want to fight!" Sylvie turned back, looking at her coldly. Her mind was in a messy
at this time. Was she destroying Marley's happiness? She really did not know. She was filled with guilt
suddenly. She intended to help him, but did not expect this.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Bonnie yelled with anger in her eyes, "Who is going to have a fight with you?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let go!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;With a malicious smile, Bonnie looked down at Sylvie’s belt. Looking around at the people who were
not paying attention to them, she pulled the belt hard and it was torn by her, small diamond falling down
the ground. The dress was torn off by her and there was a hole on the waist, revealing Sylvie’s fair
skin.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie sighed that Miss Bonnie was trying to made her look bad in public. She asked indifferently, "Is it
enough?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No!" Bonnie snorted coldly and came to her. “If you dare to take over Mccarthy Group, believe it or not,
I will kill you!" she threatened.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie said in a flat tone, "Even if I don't take over, Patriarch will not give it to you!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You..."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You can hardly retain your composure!” Sylvie said cold, “Miss Bonnie, I think what you should do is to
get the approval of Patriarch first, which will be the result of half the effort. Excuse me!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Without caring about her provocation, Sylvie turned to the corridor. The belt of her dress was pulled off
by Bonnie, and She really didn't know how to explain to Marley.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Just as she walked to the door, came the sound of the fierce footsteps behind her. Turning around,
Sylvie was slapped.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Slap..."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her eyes dulled and she Sylvie looked up again, she saw Bonnie's angry face, and all the people's
eyes were projected.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Among these people, some were curious, some were shock, or gloating , but none of them showed pity
for her!&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Bonnie also seemed to realize that it was against the standard of a socialite to slap others in public.
Besides, her grandfather was still there. As Bonnie thought of that, the expression on her face changed
from arrogance to embarrassment.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marley stood there, motionless, looking over.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Cassius, however, whose face was devoid of any emotion, looked at Bonnie coldly, expecting Sylvie's
reaction.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Will was stunned, too. He asked, “Mr Hughes, that's your wife!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marley, with a tight face, strode past.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie knew that she has made a fool of herself today in the presence of many elites. She and Bonnie
have disgraced both the Mccarthy family and Marley.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But so far, what could she do? Sylvie was trying to figure out how to be less embarrassed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marley strode over, followed by Will and Tyler.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Sylvie, are you okay?" Marley asked gently, showing a strong concern. He stroked her red and swollen
cheek, in which a palm print was clearly printed on Sylvie's face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marley's tenderness made Sylvie’s heart ached. He was acting to show these people. She deliberately
dodged, but she could not. At the moment, he was her husband. If she dodged, he would be more
embarrassed, so she allowed him to caress her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marley turned to Bonnie with a sharp eye. He asked slowly, "Miss Bonnie, Sylvie is my wife. Why did
you slap her?"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Bonnie was lost for words, questioned by Marley. Sylvie, who was in a trance turned her eyes to
Marley. She didn't expect that Marley would come out for her. What should she say? Her mind was
racing.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You..." Bonnie stammered, taking a deep breath. "Mr Hughes..."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Miss Sylvie, apologize to her!" Marley said in a deep voice. With calmness, he stared at Bonnie with
suppressed anger in his eyes, as if he didn’t regard her as his sister-in-law.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As soon as his words came out, Bonnie put on a long face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie immediately came forward and pulled Marley's sleeve. With a faint smile, she said calmly,
“Marley, I'm fine! I'm sorry, everyone. The theme of today's banquet is "charity". Because of some
personal disagreements, my sister is a little out of control after drinking, and I shouldn't get her excited.
I'm sorry to spoil everyone's interest!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hearing her words, people burst into an uproar! No one expected that Sylvie, the second daughter of
the Mccarthy family, would explain this matter so calmly. When she said this, everyone cast
complicated eyes on her. Cassius was even more gratified that his granddaughter was like him when
he was young. She didn’t not try to escape or leave in such an embarrassing situation. Instead, she
mentioned the theme of today's banquet with calmness.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marley frowned and turned to Sylvie. He didn’t expect that she didn’t care if Bonnie apologize or not. In
public, she could smile so calmly with the clear red handprint on her face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;A touch of appreciation flashed by Tyler's eyes. He was surprised by Sylvie’s calm, and he finally
understand why Cassius would take her home. Bonnie, who was such a domineering girl, was not
capable of taking over Mccarthy Group. What Mccarthy Group wanted was someone who was calm
and could still deal with a smile when beings humiliated, and who could endure and have the ability to
take over. At present, Sylvie was way much better than Bonnie.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Sylvie is so elegant!" someone said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Patriarch, your granddaughter has the style you used to have!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Cassius smiled faintly, and the people began to sing and dance again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Bonnie was in a daze, not knowing what to say at the moment. No matter what to do, she was wrong.
Sylvie’s words eliminated the embarrassment. She stared at Sylvie with tears in her eyes, feeling like
being humiliated. It turned out that she was the one who was ashamed. She said hatefully with her
hands clenched, "Sylvie, we'll see!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She turned and walked out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Will smiled at Sylvie and said, "You're great, Sylvie!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie replied with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. will, excuse me, I'll get my dress changed!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Then she looked at Marley, who was examining her. There was a panic in her eyes. On Marley's
angular face, his sharp and deep eyes gave her an invisible sense of oppression! It was no until he
looked at her dress that he found out that her dress was broken, and the fair skin at the waist was so
dazzling.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'll go up to the guest room and get changed!" she explained again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'll go with you!" he said in a firm voice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Tyler chuckled, "Go ahead. Will, let's go there first!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“OK!” Will nodded with a smile.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Without saying anything, Marley took off his suit and put it on her. As she was stunned, he had already
grasped her little hand and strode out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Tyler looked at the two people who left, a smile forming on the corner of his lips.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"In fact, I can go by myself!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Shut up.” His tone was impatient.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She followed him a few steps. He was too fast for her to keep up with. She clung to his suit with one
hand and took a sneak look at his back. She didn't dare to speak.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He suddenly stopped and turned to stare at her in the corner of the corridor.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was startled and looked up at him, frightened by his haze. He looked at her with anger in his eyes
and said, "Why don't you let her apologize?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I..."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You think you can control the field? Are you confident? Are you proud that you solved the
embarrassment with one word? "
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for disgracing you!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Shut up.” He uttered two words in a cold voice and frowned.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sylvie, who was more flustered, bit lips, wondering what to do.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marley looked at her with a frown, and he took a step forward,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He was only 30 cm away from her. At that moment, his mind was a little blank. He was much higher
than her and stood very close to her. She had to raise her head to look at him. She immediately bowed&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;her head, but when she bowed her head, he held up her chin with his slender fingers and forced her to
look at him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was a touch of pity in his eyes. She almost thought that she had read it wrong, but she didn't. It
was really something called pity, and she seemed to see that in his eyes for the first time in such a
close distance.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His features were well-defined, his nose straight, and his face now turned from cold to soft, which was
very unreal. The anger in his eyes faded, but his eyes were so dark. Slowly, pity was hidden in his
eyes, and one could no longer see any emotion in his eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You are right!" He finally said with a light tone, neither irony, nor blame. He bowed his head, kissed on
her forehead, and whispered, "Good girl, you are very smart!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
