Chapter 87
Alan's expression changed drastically when he heard Elmer's words. After a moment, he cast a complex glance at Yolanda and retreated with the bodyguards.
The people in the private room exchanged bewildered looks. After a moment, Joe was the first to react.
He suddenly pointed at Yolanda and cursed, "You fool! Look at the mess you've caused. We're all going to be ruined because of you.
"I've never seen anyone so stupid. With no standing, you dare to act so high and mighty in front of Mr. Miller?
"If Mr. Miller holds a grudge, you'll take all the blame. Do you hear me?"
Hearing this, the others in the private room echoed in agreement. "That's right. Don't drag us down with your foolishness."
Just as everyone in the private room was blaming Yolanda, the door was pushed open again. A larger group of people entered.
Leading the way were more than ten bodyguards in black suits. Behind them, Daniel hurriedly walked in from the back with a grave expression. Joe, Alice, and the others instinctively straightened up and raised their heads.
The other guests in the private room all stood up. They nervously watched Daniel's approach.
Joe was genuinely worried about being implicated by Yolanda.
Upon seeing Daniel, he immediately spoke up to distance himself from Yolanda. "Mr. Miller, we're not familiar with Yolanda. She acted on her own without our decision."
However, Daniel didn't even glance at Joe but went straight to Yolanda. He looked at her with great trepidation, afraid she might be displeased. "Ms. Henderson, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you were dining here. It's my fault for not managing my people properly. I apologize deeply."
As Daniel finished speaking, the
entire banquet hall fell into an eerie silence Joe and the others were left in shock. They couldn't comprehend the situation.
Instead of angrily throwing Yolanda out, Daniel lowered his head and apologized to her. What no one anticipated and even harder to believe had yet to come.

Yolanda slowly lifted her eyelids and
calmly reminded him, "As the
president of a publicly listed
company, you shouldn't act like a common thug. You must be aware of how the authorities view underground forces these days."
Even in Creybia, the families who truly control the underground forces wouldn't flaunt their power like this.
After arriving in Riverdale City, Yolanda noticed that local factions were filled with increasingly arrogant people.
"Ms. Henderson, you're absolutely right. I'll address this issue and enforce stricter discipline within the company to ensure it doesn't happen again." Daniel continued to apologize. Seeing the scene, the guests were left stunned.
It felt almost unreal to see the president of the Miller Group apologizing to a high school student who had been dismissed as worthless. Who could explain what was happening?
Yolanda was just a worthless girl, cast aside by the Henderson family. They wondered how she could command the respect of someone as powerful as Daniel.
At that moment, their earlier insults now felt like slaps in the face, one after another.
After apologizing, Daniel glanced nervously at Yolanda.
