Chapter 1021: Chapter 1001: Your Wife Gets Kidnapped Just Because You Went to the Bathroom?

Hearing her words, Roy Thompson’s momentum was instantly castrated. With that face that suddenly turned into a bewitching fairy, he couldn’t bear it now let alone sleep on the sofa for a month. Was she trying to ruin his rhythm?

"That outfit is too ostentatious, there are many male guests today, change it, be good!"

"Not changing!"

If she changed, how would she outshine those potential vampy, sexy love rivals?

"Bianca!"

Roy Thompson was already running out of options. Indeed, a wife being too beautiful was truly an exhausting matter for a husband, "Listen to me!"

Bella Gordon: "..."

She had to obey just because she was wearing some clothes?

This man was utterly blind!

"I’ve been looking for you all over, couldn’t find anyone, and here you... are?"

The moment the door was pushed open and Hanny Josh clearly saw the graceful face of the woman in the lounge, she could hardly believe her eyes—the golden, handmade dress was obviously a work of a well-known designer, and that majestic and oppressive aura could not have simply been brought out by any piece of expensive clothing. It was as if she could see a presence even more noble than her as Miss Josh.

She had to admit, at this moment, Hanny Josh couldn’t believe that the woman before her was the same girl who last time was dressed in a plain white dress, like a girl-next-door with a gentle jade-like appearance.

"Mrs. Thompson, that dress really is beautiful!"

Despite feeling quite upset, Hanny Josh still greeted her out of politeness.

"Miss Josh’s outfit isn’t bad either!"

Bianca glanced at Hanny Josh indifferently, then wrapped her arm around Roy Thompson’s neck, and the corners of her eyes shone with a radiant and enticing smile, "Honey, everyone is saying my dress looks nice, so please don’t make me change!"

Roy Thompson: "..."

Having won the beauty contest, she still had to act coy, but, his treasure, he would always be willing to support her no matter what.

"It’s precisely because it looks good that you need to change. If you look this stunning, what about the other women here? If they don’t know any better, they’ll think that my wife, Mrs. Thompson, is intentionally stealing their thunder!"

When he said this, Roy Thompson didn’t even glance at Hanny Josh and just kept smiling at his own wife. After a good while, he turned his head and looked at Hanny Josh, who was dressed in a rich royal blue outfit for the event, "Mr. Josh, don’t you think?"

Hanny Josh: "..."

How was she supposed to answer that?

She couldn’t imagine those words coming from Roy Thompson’s mouth. With the Josh family’s status today, agreeing to work with a small branch company halfway across the world clearly showed they had bowed their heads. What she didn’t expect was that this bowing didn’t seem to make them feel her sincerity.

Hanny Josh’s complexion turned pale in an instant, and the color drained from her face bit by bit.

Stay calm, stay calm, she still had the rest of the night, she couldn’t lose the battle so quickly, otherwise, today’s bowing would have been in vain.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Mr. Thompson is naturally right!"

That comment...

While it complimented her beauty, it also used the phrase ’Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ suggesting that Bianca was only considered a beauty in Mr. Thompson’s eyes, and not so much in the eyes of others. This statement managed not to offend Roy Thompson while also saving her own face.

What a Hanny Josh, truly a domineering female CEO of the business world. It seemed that gaining an advantage from her was indeed no easy feat!

"Miss Josh must find it amusing, my husband, ah, he’s just so full of himself, always believes his wife is the most beautiful!"

When it comes to eloquence, to verbal sparring, especially the kind that cuts deep without using a single harsh word, Bella Gordon was an expert. Who else could she thank but her world-renowned lawyer mother? From a young age, she was steeped in the art. "Sometimes, he praises me so much that I’m embarrassed. Sewing people with words, he says his wife is beautiful, gentle, and considerate, making it seem like his wife is the only good woman in the entire world. It really is laughable, isn’t it? Here I am, wearing a nice dress, and he can’t stand it—worried other men might take an extra glance at me. He insisted on getting me a frumpy outfit to change into. Is that really necessary?"

Roy Thompson: "..."

All these years, how had he never noticed his precious baby had such a bragging talent?

The way she said it was simply... superb!

Sure enough, Roy Thompson saw that the woman across from him struggled to maintain her forced smile, which immediately stiffened. Had he known his wife was this powerful, he wouldn’t have worried about her causing trouble, making their darling upset for no reason, and stirring up nonsensical unhappiness that affected her mood.

It turned out, he had underestimated his wife’s lethal power.

Roy Thompson felt incredibly fortunate to have such a fierce wife.

"Um... Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Thompson, the banquet has started, and I’ve invited some other distinguished guests. Shall we go?"

After a pause, she added, "Mrs. Thompson, that dress looks pretty good on you, it’s a pity to change out of it!"

With things having come to this point, and the woman being so stubborn, Roy Thompson could only let her have her way; nevertheless, the hand around her waist gripped even tighter, as if he feared he might accidentally lose her.

Indeed, as Hanny Josh said, she had invited many distinguished guests. Almost every notable young master from Andras City was here, and the moment he saw the familiar figure of Adrian Watkins, Roy Thompson’s brows deeply furrowed.

Obviously, the so-called celebration banquet held by this woman had a clear purpose from the get-go.

"Does Mr. Josh now want the whole of Andras City to know about our collaboration?"

Roy Thompson was always low-profile in his dealings, so he clearly disapproved of this approach.

"What’s wrong with that? It’s such a happy occasion!" In Hanny Josh’s view, their collaboration was obviously Roy Thompson climbing the social ladder, so she naturally assumed he would be pleased, "Or do you think working with me is beneath you, and that having so many people know hurts your pride?"

Roy Thompson: "..."

Beneath him?

Ten Josh families wouldn’t match up to one Thompson family, not to mention the Gordon family’s presence. Did she really think he was some unfavored relative slaving away for the Thompson family’s subsidiary company?

"No matter, pride is something you earn for yourself, not something given by others!"

Roy Thompson, with Bella Gordon in tow, side-stepped Hanny Josh, heading straight towards the dance floor at the reception. Josh’s brows knitted tightly together—this man was truly ruthless, not offering a shred of face, was he?

Well, that was fine. Since it had come to this, she wouldn’t be polite anymore. Hanny Josh had never failed to get what she wanted. If she couldn’t snatch it openly, they couldn’t blame her for resorting to any means necessary.

Hanny Josh’s face darkened as she beckoned a few assistants over, whispered instructions, and after she finished, they filed out one by one.

"Brother Roy, I’m going to the bathroom!"

After dancing for a while, Bella Gordon had started to perspire.

"I’ll accompany you!"

"Accompany what, accompany me to the toilet too?"

Bella Gordon was exasperated, "Can your wife get kidnapped just going to the bathroom?"
