Chapter 437
\nWolf President Hooks Up novel Chapter 437<\/p>\n
They were all scared. It was Emmett!<\/p>\n
“Mr. Smith!” a guy exclaimed.<\/p>\n
Obviously, he was shocked to see Emmett.<\/p>\n
Then, everyone in the room stood up in panic, because the two people who came in to toast them were both big shots.<\/p>\n
One was a leader of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.<\/p>\n
And the other was the Asian tycoon Emmett Smith.<\/p>\n
Everyone wondered who he had come for.<\/p>\n
After all, he was a figure at the peak of the pyramid, and even these rich people didn’t have a chance to talk to him!<\/p>\n
Besides, he had connections with both the police and the gangs. With his powerful family and personal charm, he seemed unapproachable to ordinary people.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Mark looked at Emmett, who was holding a glass of wine in a domineering and refined manner. His smile somehow vanished, his eyes fixed on Emmett.<\/p>\n
The arrogant Emmett also grimly stared at Mark.<\/p>\n
It was like a silent war going on between the two men.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, before long, Emmett averted his gaze away from him to Elaine, who couldn’t stop coughing.<\/p>\n
‘This woman is always so clumsy.’<\/p>\n
‘How could she get choked so easily?’ Emmett thought.<\/p>\n
He did not know that it was his sudden appearance that had caused her panic.<\/p>\n
“Are you alright? Come, drink some water.”<\/p>\n
Mark gently patted Elaine’s back and handed her a glass of water.<\/p>\n
Her face red from coughing, she waved her hand, unable to say a word.<\/p>\n
How could she have choked in so many people’s presence?<\/p>\n
They might think she had stuffed too much food in her mouth. It was embarrassing.<\/p>\n
“Sit down as you please.”<\/p>\n
Since Emmett said so, everyone sat down obediently and took care not to speak, afraid they might offend him somehow.<\/p>\n
They all looked at him respectfully, and the two women couldn’t take their eyes off him.<\/p>\n
‘Wow, this man is so damn handsome!’<\/p>\n
‘Is he even human or is he from heaven?’<\/p>\n
Even the two women were envious of his looks.<\/p>\n
Emmett wore a light brown V-collar cashmere. It fit well and was soft, giving an impression that the person was amiable.<\/p>\n
He wasn’t wearing a jacket. Or probably he had left it in another room<\/p>\n
In that cashmere, he looked strong, exuding the charm of a mature man.<\/p>\n
The moment he appeared, he became the center of attention.<\/p>\n
That happened wherever he went. Around him, the rest of these people paled into insignificance.<\/p>\n
“We’re about the same age. Don’t be so formal. I happened to be having dinner with the vice mayor. Since Eason is here, I came to propose a toast,” Emmett said slowly.<\/p>\n
Even though he was smiling, he still looked menacing.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Eason Blanton immediately laughed, his ears turning red with excitement.<\/p>\n
After all, he was facing Emmett Smith, the CEO of the Tianyi Group, and the head of ZH Clan.<\/p>\n
To be able to invite Emmett over boosted his confidence.<\/p>\n
The vice mayor was very cooperative with Emmett and raised his glass first. “Since Mr. Smith, the business genius in our country, has said so, everyone, cheers.”<\/p>\n
Everyone raised their glasses. With a faint expression, Mark also raised his glass.<\/p>\n
Emmett looked at Elaine and said, “Hmm? Why doesn’t this young lady drink?”<\/p>\n
These words were directed towards Elaine.<\/p>\n
Everyone looked at her. She blushed with embarrassment. She was still coughing. How could she drink? Was he blind? Or was he just picking on her?<\/p>\n
She tried to explain, but she couldn’t because of the coughing.<\/p>\n
“My girlfriend can’t drink, and as you can see, she’s not feeling well and is still coughing.”<\/p>\n
Mark wrapped his arm around her shoulder and looked straight at Emmett.<\/p>\n
When he heard the words “my girlfriend,” Emmett frowned.<\/p>\n
“If I’m not mistaken, you are Glen Wilson’s brother, right?”<\/p>\n
Although Emmett was smiling, his tone was sharp. Everyone was still holding their glasses, but the whole situation didn’t seem to be about the toast anymore.<\/p>\n
Everyone turned to Mark in confusion.<\/p>\n
Mark nodded, “I have to say that you have a good memory. I am Mark Wilson.”<\/p>\n
Emmett turned away. “I don’t remember you at all. It’s just that someone keeps mentioning your name all day long, so I remember it.”<\/p>\n
At the end of the sentence, he seemed to be gritting his teeth.<\/p>\n
It was humiliating for Mark.<\/p>\n
Did the Wilsons offend Emmett?<\/p>\n
If that was the case, they would be in trouble.<\/p>\n
Upsetting Emmett was equal to courting death.<\/p>\n
Luckily, Mark was quick. He was astounded for a moment and immediately smiled, “It is a great honor to be able to poach someone among your acquaintances.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Everyone burst into laughter just to smooth the situation.<\/p>\n
Afraid of offending Emmett, Eason exaggeratedly pointed at Mark and laughed until he almost shed tears. “Mark is so funny! It’s so amusing …”<\/p>\n
However, everyone could clearly feel Emmett’s hostility towards Mark.<\/p>\n
He still sat there calmly, glancing at Elaine now and then.<\/p>\n
Eason understood and immediately said to her, “Um … what’s your name again?” Then he turned to Mark. “Mark, ask your girlfriend to toast Mr. Smith. She’s the only one who hasn’t.”<\/p>\n
Mark frowned and looked at her.<\/p>\n
Obviously, she had been nervous all the time.<\/p>\n
“I’ll do it for her,” Mark said.<\/p>\n
But Emmett stopped him. “That won’t do. It’s improper. She should do it herself. Am I right, beautiful young lady?”<\/p>\n
Emmett gazed at her.<\/p>\n
Everyone else looked at her in puzzlement.<\/p>\n
Elaine sighed and looked at him.<\/p>\n
She couldn’t help but tremble from his domineering gaze. Nervousness was apparent in her voice. “M-Mr. Smith … I … I toast you.”<\/p>\n
She raised her glass, her hands shaking. She could barely look at him.<\/p>\n
Emmett suddenly laughed. “What did you call me?”<\/p>\n
Elaine was confused.<\/p>\n
He looked at her with a wicked smile and shook the wine glass in his hand, like a wild beast that would pounce on his prey at any moment. “I said … what did you call me? Did you just call me Mr. Smith? No, I can’t drink this wine.”<\/p>\n
Everyone seemed to have realized something in this second.<\/p>\n
Could it be … that Emmett’s sudden visit was because of Mark’s girlfriend?<\/p>\n
But it didn’t make sense.<\/p>\n
Elaine bit her lips and tried again. “Sir?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1837","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
