Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 48

Mason was forced to remain composed while dealing with an undesirable situation, which annoyed him to no end.

Not giving him a chance to speak, Charlene walked out.

Mason narrowed his eyes as he gripped the wine glass until his fingers turned white. "Your arrogance has piqued my interest, woman!"

The socialites watching from afar couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.

"What's going on? Charlene, that shameless woman, left Mr. Keaton by himself?"

"What's the Geller family planning? Is the matchmaking only a rumor?"

With this situation as an opening, these socialites wanted to make a move competitively.

If they could get close to Mason, it might even benefit their entire family.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and took the lead.

The appearance of these socialites eased Mason's embarrassment, and as the "gentlemanly" Mr. Keaton he was known for, Mason received these people warmly.

Charlene, of course, knew her actions would infuriate Mason.

But right now, all she could think about was Daniel.

"Ugh! That damned guy!" Charlene stamped her foot and spat.

"Which damned guy made you so angry, Ms. Geller? As your assistant, I can't just stand by!" Daniel's voice came from behind her.

Charlene looked up and couldn't help but beam brightly.

Daniel had dressed up. His suit was perfectly fitted, and combined with his strong facial features, he was the very image of a robust, handsome man.

In this aspect, Mason couldn't compare to him.

"Where's Mr. Geller Senior?" Daniel asked as he handed Charlene the gift he had chosen.

And now Charlene was being so close with another man—who could tolerate that?

The surrounding socialite would feel the energy Mason was emitting. When they saw Daniel, their infatuated expressions turned to astonishment once again.

Today was truly worth it. They had encountered not just one but two handsome men!

The most exciting part was that these two men seemed ready to vie for affection.

For these socialites, this kind of scenario was undoubtedly the juiciest gossip they could witness.

As they could watch the drama firsthand, they didn't even care if they could attract Mason's attention—that now seemed unimportant.

"Ms. Geller, who is this?" Mason asked, holding his wine glass as he slowly walked up to Daniel, looking at the latter icily.

Charlene hadn't expected Mason to be so assertive, but Daniel's identity was far too sensitive. A trace of panic flashed across her eyes as she replied, "This is my newly hired assistant!"
