Chapter 24 Cover Blown (1/2)

”Who are you?” Landon asked with narrowed eyes.

Looking at Landon's suspicion, Mimi chuckles.

She had to admit the young man in front of her was decent enough to be considered attractive.

However, with his personality, he was nothing but scum in Mimi's book.

Nothing compared to the godlike Tobias Itou who Mimi admired quite much.

Who didn't enjoy eyeing attractive things?

Sure the man appealed to many women, but he had no intentions of playing around or acknowledging any of them.

Mimi found some respect in the man, as someone who mostly seen shameless attractive men use their wealth to lure women.

”I'm just an ordinary bystander,” Mimi curves her lips up. ”But whenever I see a young maiden in need of help, I can't help but assist them.”

Landon wanted to scoff at the kid's words, he was clearly trying to look good in front of everyone.

However, unsure of his status he held back his annoyance and selected his words carefully.

”Thank you for your concern, but I was just disciplining her for her actions. There's nothing for you to worry about.” Landon places on a reassuring smile.

The corner of Mimi's eyes twitch.

Hoho seems like someone was smart with words. Good very good!

People on the side couldn't help but watch the two young men.

Majority of the women watching had their eyes on the gorgeous young man also known as Mimi. Watching him stick up for the young girl moved the hearts of many.

How much they envied to have a prince charming to save them!

As for the men they watched Landon who they knew was the heir to his father's company and admired him disciplining the young lady.

Not to mention many were jealous of Andras, who possessed more skill and experience than them who had been in the business for years not to mention who was much older.

They hoped to witness the young boy make a slip up at the party ruining his image boosting their egos.

Alec observed the scene unfold before him from the side, he couldn't help but feel surprised by Mimi intervening when she typically would ignore such drama. Guess she was starting to warm up.

Tobias standing next to Alec silently watched the young boy with unreadable eyes.

”Is that so?” Mimi's voice trailed off as she glanced at Emilia.

Emilia, who had heard Landon's words clutched tightly on the jacket. She couldn't bear this humiliation! Just when she thought someone came to help he'd end up leaving for Landon's false words.

However, what Emilia didn't expect was for the young boy who she hadn't seen the face of to grip her hand and pull her towards his side.

The movements were oddly nostalgic.

”From what I can remember about general knowledge,” Mimi smirks. ”Insulting someone's taste in clothing isn't a way of disciplining.”

Landon's body stiffens at Mimi's words.

He hadn't realized he had heard that part of their conversation!

Yet, what annoyed him the most was how he had shamelessly touched Emilia.

”Don't you think it's quite brazen of you to touch a young maiden so openly without her consent?” Landon arrogantly raises his head up acting as if he had won the battle.

Landon knew that majority of the people who were watching would side with him.

Just as Landon thought, a few people started to look at Mimi as a young man who only helped the young girl to get into her pants.

Regarding how he held on to her so closely they could only think that.

However, Mimi smiled even more and broke out into fits of laughter. Landon felt a pungent taste in his mouth as he watches the young man laugh at him.

”Is it so wrong to touch a young lady?” Mimi chuckles. ”If we're speaking about being shameless, mind telling me how you forced her into this corner to insult her?”

Landon once again felt the words get caught in his throat. He, to be honest, had nothing to say back, after all, it was the truth.

”If you can so easily roughly grab her, then I can hold her hand,” Mimi said.

People hearing the young boys words could only nod their head in agreement. For those who witness the scene unfold themselves knew he was telling the truth.

Recognizing how the tables had turned and everyone was looking at Landon with disgust, Alec sighed with relief.

”Now if you don't mind, I think I'll leave and place this young lady in a woman's care to freshen up.” Mimi lightly bobs her head before turning around with Emilia wrapped in her arms protectively.

In truth, Mimi didn't wish to stay there long and argue with him.

But because he had placed her in an unavoidable situation where she must speak to the scumbag, Mimi endured.

If she were to stay another minute, she might have died of boredom.

However, Landon wasn't going to allow her to get away so easily. Especially not when his reputation was on the line.

”Hold it!”

Just before Mimi could leave, Landon grabbed her by the shoulder roughly to turn her around.

Feeling his hand roughly grip her, Mimi's eyes turned a shade darker.

Ready to jab the scumbag in the rib Mimi's vision was blocked by a towering figure.

Using his body to shield Mimi and Emilia, while grabbing harshly onto Landon's hand, Tobias coldly glares at the young man.

”That's enough.” The cold mans dark voice rattles throughout the room.

Landon's complexion slowly turned paler by the second.

He was strong!

The hand gripping his arm held so much strength he was nervous it break with the slightest pressure.

Little did he know Tobias was exerting the slightest amount of force on his hand.

Gulping, Landon nods his head quickly. Tobias's eyes turn a shade darker as he stares at the hand gripped around Mimi's shoulder, indicating for him to let go.

Landon immediately releases Mimi as if she was on fire, he just wanted to get out of their as fast as he could!

Mimi blinks her eyes rapidly, staring up at the tall fit attractive man, she found his actions odd and surprising.

Is it possible he had some sort of secret hatred towards Landon?
