Brayden originally thought that Scarlett had learned by chance that he worked with Future Technologies, so she kindly gave him the private room for his father-in-law's birthday party. But after hearing his niece, Luciana's words, Brayden was so shocked and terrified that he had cold sweat on his back.
Brayden was surprised to learn that Scarlett had "specially" ordered a dish and had it sent to their room. He was now fidgeting.
Luciana's mother also wondered, "What's wrong? Is Ms. Reed your colleague?" Brayden now resented Luciana so much, but because his father-in-law was present, he had to suppress his anger.

When you are in a high position, lots of people want to get close to you! It's not like we can't afford this dish. Waiter, send it back! We've ordered enough! At her words, Brayden lashed, "No! Don’t send it back! That's not my colleague. She's one of the shareholders in my company!" Immediately, Luciana and her mother’s arrogant faces suddenly changed color.
Brayden's wife's face also turned pale," Didn't we just offend her?" Brayden looked at his elderly father-in-law who was sitting across from him. He closed his eyes helplessly, "I'm going to apologize to Ms. Reed." Luciana caused the trouble. Her mother had planned to ask Brayden to arrange her son into Future Technologies.
It seemed like her plans were probably in jeopardy. She raised her hand and slapped Luciana on her shoulder.
"Were you blind? Why did you say those things?" Luciana didn't anticipate that Scarlett looked so young, but she was a shareholder in Future Technologies.
Luciana was not just graduated from college. She had been working for more than two years. She knew the rules of the workplace and society, which was why she was being so arrogant to Scarlett just then.
Since Future Technologies was enlisted on the stock exchange last year, the company had shown great momentum. Brayden was an executive at the company. He was well paid. And with Future Technologies' current performance, many owners of smaller companies were bending over backward to get to Brayden.
Luciana just saw Scarlett take an expensive handbag, and the man standing next to her looked unusual. She thought Raymond was another man who wanted to suck up to Brayden, and that Scarlett must be his mistress.
She couldn't resist bringing up Brayden to show off.

Since Future Technologies went public, eighty percent of the shares were in the hands of two. One was the founder and chairman of the company, Justin Lynch, and the other was a friend of his-- When Brayden said Scarlett was one of the shareholders in Future Technologies, she suddenly remembered that a few months ago Juanton University held a prestigious alumni event with only prominent people invited, and it seemed there was one woman named Scarlett.
Luciana then knew that she was messing with the wrong people. If this incident was not handled properly, Brayden might be fired at any time.
Brayden had switched to Future Technologies last year. He had no shares or dividends in the company. Compared with the talents Future Technologies was hiring this year, Brayden just had more work experience than them.
If Luciana had really offended Scarlett, it would have been a piece of cake for the latter to fire Brayden.
Luciana didn't dare say a word. She sat there and let her mother scold her. Brayden already knew about his wife's family. His sister-in-law beating her daughter was just making a scene.
Maybe the woman somehow meant it, but she did that to get her son into Future Technologies.
Brayden suppressed the anger in his heart. "Luciana, cwith me. We're going to apologize to Ms. Reed." Immediately, Luciana's face turned pale. Even her mother, who had been scolding her, stopped, and she said, "Brayden, Luciana doesn't know Ms. Reed. It's enough going to apologize to her yourself. You're an executive in the company, anyway. She is a shareholder. She shouldn't be bothered with you over something like that."
