Chapter 7

When she heard such lewd words, Amanita felt that she could not tolerate it anymore. She slapped Risa.

“Shut up! You shameless woman! You’re disgusting!”

However, right as her slap connected, she felt the chill of someone’s glare behind her.

Amanita froze instantly. When she turned around, she met Marcus’s cold gaze.

Marcus regarded her frostily but said nothing.

But that was much worse, because Amanita understood Marcus very well. For even touching Risa, Marcus would surely take revenge on her. Though Marcus had a destitute background, he was vicious.

Due to this, Amanita felt unsettled throughout the banquet.

Amanita was terrified. She was scared that Marcus would stab her at any second.

Yet, the whole banquet went by smoothly. Everything went off without a hitch.

Soon, they arrived at the hotel for the night. George was going to announce Amanita’s choice of husband very soon.

The banquet hall was rowdy as everyone gossiped.

“Amanita will surely pick Marcus. Everyone knows that she’s drooling after him.”

“Marcus is truly quite capable. He’s intelligent and uses hard tactics. Now, he’s also inherited the Wallace Group. No one in the business world can compete with him now.”

“I’m afraid only Samuel Bering will stand a chance against him. I heard that Samuel has been interested in Amanita for many years.”

“That’s true. Poor Samuel. He’s been pursuing Amanita for so many years, but he never stood a chance. Now, he has to watch his crush marry his ultimate rival.”

When she heard everyone’s discussions, Amanita could not help but grin to herself.

She sneaked a look at Samuel, only to find that he was also looking at her.

Samuel’s eyes were filled with affection for her. He made several gestures at her that conveyed his message clearly.

[You can’t change your mind!]

Amanita could not help but laugh. She was just about to respond when the screen behind her turned on. It started showing her private photos.

The photos featured her back as she showered, as she was putting on her underclothes…

When the pictures came to an end, there was a video.

In the video, Amanita was holding onto Marcus’s clothes. Her face was red with embarrassment as she sniffed the clothes. At the same time, she reached down beneath her clothes to touch herself.

“Oh, Marcus, I love you so much,” Amanita said in the video shyly.

Meanwhile, Amanita herself was having a breakdown. She looked at Marcus in devastation. Tears started to flow from her eyes.

Marcus had publicly shared her private photos and even a private video because she had called Risa a shameless woman. It was as if he wanted to show everyone that Amanita was the shameless one instead of Risa.

How could Marcus be so cruel?

“Who’s showing this video? Turn it off! Turn it off immediately!” George was furious. He rushed up to try and turn it off but found that he could not.

In the end, it was Samuel who rushed up and destroyed the projector. Only then did the screen go dark.

“Who did this? Who in the world did this?” George was so angry that he was shaking. “Lock the doors. No one is allowed to leave until I’ve found the culprit!”

“Mr. Wallace, calm down,” one of George’s friends reassured him. “Nita and Marcus are getting married anyway. This video isn’t so bad.”

“That’s right. This adds spice to a couple’s lives. We get it.”

But George’s face was still livid. He knew that Amanita had chosen someone else.

Silently, George looked up and gave Samuel a hard glance.

This was the moment he would find out whether Samuel was a reliable person.

After receiving George’s silent message, Samuel stood up without hesitation.

He pulled Amanita into his embrace before announcing loudly, “Nita is going to marry me! And I won’t allow anyone to get away with hurting her. If anyone dares to release these photos, I will make sure they suffer a fate worse than death!”

As he said this, everyone looked over at Samuel in terror, especially Marcus and Amanita’s six other prospective husbands. Instantly, their faces paled.

“Amanita chose him?”

“It’s a joke, right? Everyone knows that Amanita is obsessed with Marcus. How could she choose Samuel?”
