When Bella publicly held onto Dray's hand and hid behind him with a soft and innocent demeanor, Sky felt as though he had been slapped in the face twice.
It was only then that Dray's cold and deep gaze turned towards Sky, as if he was bestowing him with his attention, and fixed on his face.
He looked at Sky with a cold and indifferent gaze, as if he had never met him before.
"Mr., I think you have mistaken me for someone else. Although I don't know why you chose to come and cause trouble on this particular day, my girlfriend, Bella, cannot have any blemishes on her record at the police station."
Girlfriend?
So, he was Bella's boyfriend!
He was actually Bella's boyfriend!!!
Yes, the Li family should have realized it long ago.
No wonder he wanted to keep their marriage a secret. He already had a girlfriend, and it was Bella.
Seeing the man's familiar and stern features, and hearing his low and magnetic voice, Sky felt as though he had been nailed to the ground and couldn't move.
This sentence seemed to be telling the public that Dray had extremely high standards when it came to choosing women. Being his girlfriend was a rare and exceptional honor.
Sky knew Dray's words were meant for him, even though he couldn't possibly be with a woman who had a criminal record. But Dray had erased all the negative records from Bella's past, even though she had been in jail before. At this moment, Sky sat on the cold floor, looking at the familiar but cold and stern face of the man in front of him. He felt his heart turning cold, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head in the dead of winter. He finally understood why Lora had suddenly changed her testimony and taken the blame for Bella. He also understood that a family like the Chen's couldn't be easily bought off, except by someone like Dray. Eli had told her that Logan would personally investigate the case and seek justice for him. He would not let the real culprit go unpunished. This was Dray's way of avenging him. Sky fell to the ground, feeling his body losing warmth inch by inch, becoming cold, and his brain freezing, unable to think.
He looked at Dray.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of him.
Looking at Bella, who was holding onto him, and the well-dressed people standing behind him, his vision gradually blurred by tears.
"I knew it, it was just a misunderstanding."
Madam Li Harper breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her son's words.
"This man is shameless, he's not even clean himself, and he dares to spread rumors about my future daughter-in-law at our Li family's banquet! Someone, take him to the police station and punish him severely!"
The Li family's bodyguards heard Madam Li's instructions and immediately moved to grab Sky.
Seeing the crisis resolved, Bella, who was hiding next to Dray, revealed a hint of sinister satisfaction in her eyes.
Hmph, Sky, this arrogant little bitch, thinks he can compete with her? Dream on!
"Wait."
At that moment, Dray's cold and gloomy voice resounded once again.
"Let it go, it's not a big deal, there's no need to make a scene and go to the police station."
Dray frowned slightly, seeming impatient, as he scanned the small man sitting on the ground.
Seeing him in such a sorry state, his blue woolen sweater soaked with champagne, the wet clothes clinging tightly to his figure.
His eyes flashed with a dark and displeased glint.
"Dan, take him out" Dray ordered.
"Yes, Master Li," Dan replied, understanding Dray's signal.
Unlike the others present, Dan knows Sky's identity.
He approached him and helped him up, seemingly casual but actually cautious.
"Mr. Sky, let's go. Don't anger Master Li," Dan whispered softly by his side.
