Chapter 20: The Incredibly Powerful Professor Williams!

However, before Maxwell Perry had a chance to speak, someone already rejected her for him.

"You don't have to worry, Berlina; this role was tailor-made for you. Everyone can see your image and achievements, and in terms of the number of fans, I don't think there's any doubt about that, right? CEO Gray?"

Henry Carter let out a cold laugh and turned to Conan Gray as he spoke.

A smile played at the corners of Conan Gray's mouth, his narrowed eyes twinkling mischievously, looking for all the world like a cunning old fox. He glanced at Elisse Gonzales, who was tense beside him, and said with a laugh, "Miss Gonzales, what do you think I should do?"

As soon as Conan Gray's voice fell, the beautiful face of Elisse Gonzales had already darkened, ready to rise and storm out, no longer willing to play along. However, at this moment, Killian Perez, who had been silent all this time, suddenly chuckled—

"It's not quite fair to say that. Miss Holmes is indeed the representative of the internet celebrities, and her popularity is good, and so is her image, but this internet-celebrity face doesn't give her a high recognition among audiences... Miss Gonzales, on the other hand, is an international supermodel. A single step she takes is worth tens of thousands or even more, with international brands, high recognition, and she is a top presence in the fashion industry. At major international events, organizers send out invitations, something Miss Holmes doesn't seem to have been honored with yet, right?"

With this pointed comment from Killian Perez, Berlina Holmes's face paled, and her smile became extremely stiff.

"Emperor Perez, those words are inappropriate."

Henry Carter could not stand to see the person he cared about humiliated and immediately spoke out sharply.

Killian Perez simply laughed and spread his hands as if relinquishing the issue.

Henry Carter, with no outlet for his anger, directed all his fury towards Elisse Gonzales—

"So, Miss Gonzales takes tens of thousands of steps. My apologies for underestimating you! Why don't you give us a lingerie show right now? I've never had the fortune to admire it, to see if it really matches the style of an international brand..."

Elisse Gonzales's face turned grim, no longer interested in continuing. She stood up and said, "I'm not interested right now..."

Before Elisse Gonzales could finish, Henry Carter had already signaled to a black-clad bodyguard standing by. The bodyguard walked over and grabbed Elisse Gonzales by the shoulder. "Miss Gonzales, there's no need to be nervous. Just perform a little for our General Manager Carter."

"Let me go!"

Elisse Gonzales struggled.

"Isn't it just money you want? How much? Five Million? Ten Million? That should be enough for you to strip once, right? International brand!"

A cold smirk curled on Henry Carter's lips as he reached for a stack of cash beside him, smacked it across Elisse Gonzales's face, and his arrogant demeanor made her spit directly into his face!

"Ptooey! You scum who flaunts your power! If you dare touch me, I assure you, you won't get away with it!"

"Heh! Quite the temper... Today I'll teach you how to be a person! You're so clueless! I'll let you know the consequences of angering me. Don't get too arrogant from now on, thinking you can mess with anyone!"

Henry Carter dodged to the side, his face twisted with a sinister smile while he gestured to the bodyguard. The bodyguard quickly reached out to grab at the long dress on Elisse Gonzales...

All the people in the private room were watching. Maxwell Perry still had an indifferent face, as if none of this concerned him, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. Berlina Holmes was leaning against him, lightly biting her lip, looking worried and uneasy, but deep in her eyes, there was a glimmer of excitement!

She had long found Elisse Gonzales distasteful—what international brand, often just like Tiana Williams, not taking her seriously, thinking she's some high-class merchandise. It would serve her right to be stripped now, to let everyone enjoy the show and see how arrogant she would be afterwards!

As for Conan Gray, there was no need to say more; he had seen this kind of drama plenty of times and remained composed, treating it as an unconventional striptease show!

The two girls beside him were also smiling as they watched, evidently also familiar with the scenario.

And Killian Perez appeared somewhat detached, casually watching the scene unfold, sipping his drink, seemingly not intending to intervene.

"Let go! Let go!"

Elisse Gonzales frantically pushed through the crowd, her eyes set on the door, but escape was impossible, her straps had already been torn apart, so she instinctively reached to cover her chest...

The entire room watched the spectacle unfold, yet not a single person cried out to stop it.

Elisse Gonzales furiously swept her gaze across everyone present, silently vowing to remember their faces!

It was at that moment when—'Bang—'

A loud noise abruptly filled the room, and the tightly shut door was kicked open!

Everyone instinctively turned to look towards the entrance, only to see a dark figure storming in!

Tiana Williams charged in like a thunderbolt, reaching Elisse Gonzales in a heartbeat, and delivered a power-packed punch to the bodyguard pinning her down. The force was so immense that with a scream, the burly man was sent flying.

Henry Carter was too slow to react, feeling a chill breeze before a sharp pain exploded on his chin, causing his head to snap to the side and a mouthful of blood to spray out!

But it wasn't over yet: he hadn't even finished screaming when suddenly someone grabbed him by the collar, lifting him lightly—

'Smack!'

He was slammed hard onto the stone table in front of him, pain rapidly spreading throughout his body, his eyes only catching a glimpse of Tiana William's face, as ruthlessly beautiful as a demonic aura...

"Tiana! Tiana! You finally came... Wuuu... I was almost scared to death, I nearly lost my honor..."

The moment Elisse Gonzales saw Tiana Williams, she burst into tears and hurried over to embrace her.

Tiana Williams looked coldly at Henry Carter, who lay like a battered dog, then glanced at Elisse Gonzales and quickly draped her own white shirt over her shoulders, her voice cool and slightly hoarse, "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay... almost wasn't..."

Elisse Gonzales quickly slipped it on, hiding behind Tiana Williams.

Tiana William's whirlwind barrage awed the crowd, but Conan Gray was even more stunned by her beauty, almost unable to snap back to reality at the sight of her.

Berlina Holmes observed all this from the sidelines, her heart secretly burning with hatred!

Maxwell Perry also showed a trace of shock in his eyes as he gazed at Tiana Williams, his expression darkening visibly.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Maxwell Perry's chilling voice cut through the air, his icy gaze fixed on Tiana Williams's face, clearly suggesting he believed she had come to target them, to stir up trouble!

Tiana Williams detested his presumptuous air.

"What did you intend to do to her?"

Instead of answering him, Tiana Williams posed the question with icy detachment.

"Tiana, don't get the wrong idea. It was just a game, nobody expected Miss Gonzales to take it seriously, we meant no harm..."

"Shut your mouth! This is your idea of a game? Let's see if Berlina Lewis would be willing to strip down for me right now!"
