Richard's speech was interrupted, and his face was decidedly unhappy.
However, since this was a Willson Group event, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and turned to Julius Reed: "And this gentleman is..."
"My husband."
Quella Radcliffe introduced with a smile.
The appearance of Julius Reed was somewhat unexpected for Quella Radcliffe; she stood up and, in a low voice, asked, "Why have you come?"
She had asked before, but Julius had said he was busy; thus, Quella didn't inquire further.
Her unexpected delight at his arrival was evident.
"This kind of gala is teeming with all sorts of people; any Tom, Dick, or Harry could slip in. I was worried about you, so I came to have a look."
Julius Reed smiled lightly and pulled Quella Radcliffe into his embrace: "If there's anything that's not taken care of properly here, just let me know, and I'll sort them out."
"Alright, got it!"
Quella Radcliffe nodded, her face blooming with a genuine smile.
