Chapter 3 Mr. Hamilton Saved The Beauty

The man in the backseat was none other than Miguel. He closed his eyes as a robotic voice from his phone recited," The number you've dialed is currently unavailable..."

Then, he went to the chat log and typed a message. "Are you there?"

When he tried to press send, a message popped up saying he needed to add the contact as a friend before he could send the message.

As Miguel read it, he clutched his phone so hard that he nearly crushed it. It turned out that this woman had blacklisted his number!

As soon as he opened his eyes, he turned to the window with an angry glare directed at the woman surrounded by the crowd. "You ungrateful woman," he muttered under his breath.

"Everyone! Please listen to me!"

Brenda turned in the direction of the voice and saw Louis standing on the fourth floor terrace of the building. He was holding a megaphone in his hand and shouting, "I admit that my blind judgment has left the Sanchez Group with a huge debt. However, I can assure you that Brenda, my only daughter, is the wife of Mr. Hamilton, the president of the Glory Group. Everyone knows how powerful the Glory Group is. Therefore, you should believe that the Sanchez Group can make up for this loss!"

Everyone in Bacla City knew about the marriage between the Sanchez and Hamilton families. So Louis' words acted like a magic spell that alleviated the growing worry of the crowd and rendered them quiet.

Brenda, however, didn't share that feeling. Her heart was racing, pounding loudly against her chest.

The news that she and Miguel were already divorced had not yet been made public. It would have been advantageous for Louis to say it, to convince the crowd.

But if she agreed to it, that would be equivalent to lying.

"I..." On the other hand, if the news of their divorce were to be announced now, it would only turn into a disaster.

So, she shot a complicated look at Louis and gnashed her teeth. "Yes, the Hamilton family won't refuse to help us with our financial troubles. Everyone, please calm down. Rest assured that we, the Sanchez Group, won't owe any shareholder anything."

"Everyone knows that you're only Mr. Hamilton's wife by name! It's a well-known fact that the relationship between the two of you is not good at all! Mr. Hamilton would give the Sanchez family three billion? Who would believe that? Is Mr. Sanchez just trying to buy time?" A man wearing a peaked cap in the crowd spoke up, hoping that his words would elicit a reaction.

Back in the limousine, the assistant glanced at Miguel in the backseat through the rearview mirror. He wondered what Miguel was thinking.

Judging from Miguel's expression alone, the assistant could tell that he looked as black as thunder.

After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Hamilton, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish today's handover. How about we go back first-"

Before he could even finish his sentence, Miguel pushed the door open and got out of the car.

"Mister... Mr. Hamilton..."

The assistant felt a lump form in his throat. His gut told him that something big was about to happen!

Miguel walked straight toward the center of the crowd. But after taking only two steps, he heard a loud male voice say, "Also, I have proof that Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Hamilton got divorced just a few days ago! If that's the case, would Mr. Hamilton really help the Sanchez Group in this crisis?"

Then, the man wearing a peaked cap took out his phone and zoomed in on the names "Brenda Sanchez" and "Miguel Hamilton" on the photo for everyone to see. He continued, "Can you see? It's their divorce certificate!"

As soon as Miguel heard this, he stopped in his tracks.

Brenda also turned to the man. The news of their divorce had not yet been announced. How could this man know about it? He even had a photo of the divorce certificate to prove it!

His words seemed to cause an uproar in the crowd.

"Divorced? They're divorced?" people in the crowd started asking.

Louis had thought he could use the Glory Group to buy some time for his company, but he didn't expect this to happen. Suddenly, his face turned red as he shouted, "You! Stop talking nonsense! They're in a good relationship! Why would they get a divorce?!"

After scolding the man, he turned to Brenda for help, urging her to come up with an explanation as soon as possible.

However, Brenda realized that hiding the truth would only make things worse.

So, she took a deep breath and admitted, "Yes, you're right. Mr. Hamilton and I are already divorced. But that doesn't mean the crisis that the Sanchez Group is facing can't be solved. I will figure out a way to get three billion- Ah!"

Brenda felt someone pinch her arm before she could finish what she was saying. The next second, she was being pushed out.

"Shit! How dare that old bastard try to fool us with his daughter?! Both of them are heartless!"

Brenda felt a pain in her scalp as her hair was being yanked. Then someone grabbed a reporter's camera and tried to smash it against her head.

She instinctively raised her hand to protect herself. As she braced for impact, she felt a hand grab her waist and pull her back hard. The next thing she knew, she was leaning against a man's strong chest.

When she looked up, she saw a face that she thought she would never see again in her life.
