"Tie this woman up for ," Donovan Steel ordered, showing no fear.
Donovan’s bodyguards surged forward just as they were about to grab Tiana Thorne.
Clent Xavier imdiately stepped forward, shielding Tiana behind him, his voice losing its usual gentleness: "Donovan, don’t think you can just tie people up because you’re the CEO of Sunfire Group."
Clent’s bodyguards also ca forward, protecting both of them.
The scene beca lively for a mont.
Donovan glanced at Todd Barrett’s face once more; in Azurea, who didn’t know that Todd worked for him?
This slap was visibly ant for Todd, but he felt like he had been slapped hard too.
And it was a woman who did it.
"Get them..."
"Who dares."
Suddenly, a voice like soothing tea or fine liquor reverberated, causing everyone’s spirits to stir.
This voice was incredibly captivating.
The mont Tiana heard it, her heartbeat instantly accelerated.
Is my brother here?!
At the mont she needed him the most, to make a grand impression.
This was too perfect.
Almost instinctively, she turned around and saw Maxim Ford. With his dark hair and black-frad glasses today, his lips pressed into a straight line.
He took long strides toward her, his entire deanor exuding a crispness, as if detached from the whole world, cool and a bit ethereal.
The onlookers were almost losing their minds.
"Whoa, a big shot!"
"Is that the head of the Ford family?"
"Oh my, we’ve actually seen such an enigmatic figure."
So of Clent Xavier’s fans exclaid, not out of admiration but in surprise.
Stunned that Maxim Ford appeared here.
Even more surprised that Maxim Ford was actually helping Tiana Thorne.
One had to know that this mogul’s activities were limited to a few corporate lectures, giving speeches, or being ntioned in gossip due to his good relationship with Aiden Shaw, a tycoon in the entertainnt industry.
Other than having a good relationship with Aiden Shaw, he hardly interacted with anyone.
Yet the person he protected seed to be Tiana Thorne!?
Tiana looked at him like a fervent admirer seeing her idol.
Of course, Tiana had exquisite acting skills, and she hid her feelings so well that almost no one noticed.
At this mont, Donovan panicked.
Who was Maxim Ford? An unrivaled figure in the architecture world.
And the only one who could stand on par with him was his good brother, Aiden Shaw.
Donovan, who had been so high and mighty earlier, now approached with a smile: "Mr. Ford, I didn’t greet you properly in Azurea, please forgive ."
This reversal ca so quickly, it was like a movie with all its twists and turns.
Maxim Ford didn’t indulge in fake pleasantries, not responding to him.
His gaze discreetly scanned Tiana from head to toe where no one else could see.
His eyes lingered on her swollen ankle, causing a sharp pang in his heart.
His sister, who he hadn’t had the chance to cherish, was already hurt.
"Clent Xavier."
He directly called out Clent Xavier’s na.
Clent felt a bit strange, as there had been hardly any intersection between his life and Maxim Ford’s, but seeing him like this, it seed he was here to help.
Clent nodded: "Yes."
"Where did he hurt you?"
Clent was a bit surprised, but he could feel that Maxim Ford was indeed here to help him.
He looked at Tiana’s ankle: "Miss Tiana is injured."
Clent’s usual calm and elegant deanor was now only cold.
