CHAPTER 883: CHAPTER 883: FOR HIS LOOKS?

No one noticed the commotion on Claire Lowell’s side because all the attention was drawn to Raina North.

Everyone who had previously joined Miss Summers in questioning and even scolding Raina was stunned.

They were almost going crazy, unable to believe this was true.

Earlier, they mocked Master Sterling, saying it was foolish to host a concert and offend even Master Rise!

Now, compared to the head of The Summers Family, they were beyond foolish—truly, their stupidity was monumental.

They didn’t just offend someone; they offended someone gravely!

However, they felt innocent as well. How could a distinguished music master look like this? It felt like a setup for misunderstanding. If President Chester hadn’t said it himself, they would never have believed this person was Master Rise.

In the music world, Rise is like a deity with an unrivaled status; even if she rarely appears, she still has countless fans all over the world, commanding absolute respect.

As for The Umbral Zone, it’s needless to say; even if she destroyed the Lord of the Dark Tower, many would still risk their lives to protect her.

Of course, she wouldn’t do that because Nameless is her husband.

If that were all, it could be overlooked. But it’s said that Orion Rivers, the Alliance Hierarch of The Celestial Alliance, also fell for her after she took his man. Even Emperor Hades seems quite interested in her.

As for President Chester, it’s needless to say; to defend Master Rise, such a senior, he even disregarded his own status to confront Miss Summers.

Given President Chester’s standing, let alone Miss Summers, even her father couldn’t say much in front of him.

Why would such a charismatic figure as Rise seduce an old, unappealing son-in-law?

For what?

For his ugliness?

"Just now, Miss Summers and her son-in-law confidently claimed that Master Rise defrauded them of millions. Pfft—" The speaker couldn’t help but laugh towards the end.

He quickly waved his hand: "Sorry, sorry, I usually don’t laugh like this, but I couldn’t help it this time. After all, it’s not easy to find someone this funny and brainless."

Some people sparsely echoed the man’s words, but most remained silent.

Because most of them were those brainless fellows the man was talking about.

"R...Rise...Master Rise..." Miss Summers’ lips trembled, her face pale as paper, her legs as weak as noodles. She looked at Raina North in shock and fear: "I...I...I’m sorry...really sorry..."

The middle-aged man was also sweating profusely, his eyes filled with fear: "Misunderstanding...this is really a misunderstanding...yes, a misunderstanding, I mistook the identity..."

"You’re telling me you mistook the woman who climbed into your bed?"

"Y-yes!" Even though he knew responding like this made him a joke, the middle-aged man forced himself to say it.

He thought if someone could open up his intestines now, they would surely be green with regret.

But what could he do? There’s no medicine for regret in this world anymore!

Raina North couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with frost: "This son-in-law of the Summers Family, do you take us all for fools?"

The cold sweat on the middle-aged man’s back soaked through his clothes, making him look like he’d just been pulled out of water. He dared not say anything else and just kept apologizing.

Raina North coldly looked at the middle-aged man. She was sure she didn’t know this man who came out of nowhere to accuse her of climbing into his bed and defrauding him while drunk.

This man also used the guests at the party to ruin her reputation. His actions clearly weren’t just a case of mistaken identity.

Since it wasn’t a case of mistaken identity, there must be a purpose behind his actions.

The purpose was already blatantly obvious.
