Chapter 283
Chapter 283 Tina initially wanted to leave, but her way was unexpectedly barred. She clenched her fists and drew in a deep breath before saying, “Why can‘t you all just leave me alone? I‘m just an ordinary person. With the kind of money you have, you can get any kind of hat you want, right?”
(That’s right! With our fortune, we can get whatever we want. That‘s why we want the cocktail hat you‘re wearing on your head right now! What‘s wrong? Is that too much to ask
for?”
Quite evidently, this was a group of spoiled and troublesome brats. There was no way Tina was going to let them have their way. She purposefully took two steps backward.

Seeing her retreat, the expressions on the ladies‘ faces shifted. “So, you‘re not going to go along with this?”
“We‘re giving you a great opportunity right now! We were going to buy your cocktail hat and give you the chance to make some extra cash. Who would‘ve expected that you‘d give it up just like that?” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Get that hat off her head now! I want to see how ugly this b*tch really is!” The woman gestured for the servants behind her to surround Tina. Pushed and shoved by these people, Tina fell to the ground helplessly. Her cocktail hat was about to be snatched from her head..
Right at that moment, a refined voice drifted over and interrupted them. “The champagne tower‘s been set up. Don‘t you ladies want to have a look?”
The ladies turned their heads toward the source of the voice. “Who‘s nosing into our business
Before they finished, they shifted their focus on the person before them. The man was handsome with a scholarly grace. He wore a black tuxedo that was a completely different style compared to the other suits at the event. He seemed friendly enough, but none of these upper–crust ladies had any chance of not knowing who he was. This time, Langford Group had come to Paris to collaborate with the largest fashion group and had invested in a project to produce a fashion magazine. This individual used to be the boss of a news magazine. Naturally, he had also been invited to Paris by Samuel for the collaboration. “I–It‘s you...” The rich women who had been heckling Tina all changed their expressions at that instant. “What are you doing here?” “I‘ve been around here all along.” The tone of his voice was mild.
What he meant was that he saw everything that these women had been doing. Things had become a little awkward.
The wealthy women hurriedly changed the subject, slightly panicky. “You said the champagne tower‘s ready? Why don‘t we all go and have a look?”
“My age is advancing, so it‘s not a good idea for me to drink. This kind of thing is more for you youngsters to enjoy.” Raymond Cohen‘s tone remained bland. The ladies did not dare to linger, feeling that their egos had taken a hit. Before leaving, they couldn‘t help but glare at Tina. Raymond held out a helping hand toward Tina and asked, “Do you need a hand?”
Taking the offered hand, Tina got up from the ground a little awkwardly. She adjusted the hat on her head and said softly, “Thank you, Mr. Cohen.”
“Mr. Cohen?” Raymond seemed stunned by this. Curious, he asked, “I don‘t use this name here. You sound familiar. Do we know each other?”
Tina was taken aback as well. In an instant, her heart started racing.
She had only ever met Raymond once, and that was during the press conference when Samuel had acknowledged Cindy as his wife five years ago. Raymond Cohen was the boss of Freesia‘s news magazine. At the same time, he was also the person who had gotten Samuel and Cindy together. That was to say, Tina could not let this man learn of her identity. Otherwise, she would be done for! “... I... I don‘t think I‘m familiar with who you are...” Tina quickly found an excuse. Lowering her head, she said quickly, “I‘m a little busy, so I‘ll be going now!” Raymond was even more intrigued at Tina‘s panicked look. Did he say something wrong? Why was she so frightened of him?
