Easton Holmes—in Flame City, these three words symbolize the utmost supremacy and also serve as a mysterious code. He rarely appears in public with his true identity, so few outsiders know exactly who Easton Holmes is.
"Easton Holmes?!"
When Alice Turner mentioned Easton Holmes, Charles Thompson was not just surprised but also filled with doubt and a deep sense of disappointment.
If it really was Easton Holmes, then his son would have no chance whatsoever, and he would be destined to regret it for life.
Although Amber Wood was just a woman, she had heard of the name Easton Holmes. She just didn’t have a deep concept of it, only knowing that Easton Holmes was an impressive person, an ugly one at that.
"Why are you so surprised? What’s so great about Easton Holmes, looking so ugly?" There were rumors that Easton Holmes was unbelievably ugly, and Amber had fully bought into this rumor, firmly believing that Easton was a hideous freak. The disdain in her eyes grew even stronger.
Charles Thompson had also heard these rumors. He had always been skeptical and had doubted this information.
Hearing Amber’s mocking words, Lily Turner’s brow furrowed immediately, and she retorted, "He’s nothing special, far worse than your son, at least he doesn’t fool around with all sorts of shady women outside."
She really wished she could call her husband over here to let this woman see just how ugly or handsome her husband truly was.
But her husband was so busy, he had no time for such pettiness with this woman.
"What are you talking about? Which shady woman has Henry been fooling around with?" Due to Henry Thompson, Lily had always been very obedient in front of Amber Wood. Even if she was unhappy with Amber’s actions, she wouldn’t say anything, choosing to avoid her when possible, and staying silent when avoidance was not possible.
But today, Lily not only refuted Amber, she did so with an unfriendly attitude, especially when speaking ill of her son, how could Amber stand for it?
Amber’s hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into tight fists, as if ready to punch Lily. But for some reason, she eventually held it in.
Almost as though knowing Amber would respond this way, Lily snapped back immediately, "Are you really not aware of which shady woman he’s fooling around with?"
Is this woman blind? Doesn’t she know which woman her son is fooling around with?
"You..."
"Don’t say another word, just leave quickly."
As Amber pointed at Lily’s nose about to say something, Charles Thompson dragged her away, pulling her straight to the door regardless of her feelings or anger.
Seeing her husband protecting that girl as always, Amber gritted her teeth in anger, struggling to shake off the hand grasping her.
But after a few attempts, she couldn’t shake it off, and she yelled angrily at the owner of the hand, "Charles Thompson! Am I your wife or is she your wife, for you to protect her like this?"
She was so angry that she was beginning to lose control of her words.
Filled with rage, Amber couldn’t control her volume as she shouted just now, and at her shout, the guests who were about to leave instinctively stopped and turned their heads towards the sound.
Charles noticed the guests at the door who had stopped to watch the commotion, and his expression immediately turned ugly. He flung Amber’s hand away, "You’re really insane."
