CHAPTER 472 HE IS MY FRIEND
The approaching sound was like the footsteps of death that were clutching at Edwin’s heart.
His whole face went ghastly pale and his heart was pounding hard.
Leo squinted his eyes and easily recognized Brooke’s footsteps as they were quick but unhurried.
Marie and Serena also turned to the door in shock.
They had been in Hopkins for a while and had heard Brooke’s name.
He was one of the three young-rich-handsome men in Hopkins and the most outstanding family
members of the Palmer’s third generation.
The room door was then pushed open heavily and a dashing man dressed in tuxedo walked in.
All the girls in the private room suppressed their voices and started gossiping.
“It’s Brooke!”
“I finally got to see him in person!”
“How handsome is he!”
Winnie also looked at Brooke shockingly.
She just asked the manager to invite him but she didn’t expect him to be really here.
Edwin can nearly catch his breath as he was beyond nervous.
“Who said that he knew me and claimed to be my honored guest?”
Brook remained undisturbed and asked lightly.
Hearing the question, Edwin dared not to utter a word.
Winnie and Reuben came round and then approached Brooke smilingly.
“Mr. Brooke, I’m the president of the Harrison Network Technology Company, I’ve long heard about
you.”
“This is my husband and they are all my classmates.”
Reuben and Winnie said hurriedly to Brooke.
Brooke knitted his eyebrows for he really can’t recall these two people.
Sensing Brooke’s irritated look, Winnie hurriedly said, “Certainly, Mr. Brooke. This is the first time that
we met each other, but an old friend of mine is your distinguished guest and you even sent us a lot of
dishes and two bottles of Romanee Conti!”
Winnie immediately brought up Edwin.
Brooke’s sight then landed on Edwin, “Are you the one who claimed to be my honored guest and that I
sent you dishes and wine?”
Edwin was terrified and was cursing Winnie inside.
He then forced a smile, “Mr. Brooke... you maybe don’t remember me, but we have met at the Industrial
and Commercial Building in Hopkins.”
Edwin worked at the Industrial and Commercial Building.
Brooke then recalled his memory and suddenly remembered Edwin, “Yeah, it does ring a bell. You are
Edwin… right?”
“Yeah! It’s me.”
Edwin got excited and relaxed a bit.
Winnie and other people also got merry.
But Brooke’s next sentence took them all off guard.
“Well, I don’t think that we are that familiar. How dare you to swindle other people in my name?”
Brooke got fierce and scanned Edwin.
Edwin was dumbfounded and got pale, “This... this is a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?”
Brooke approached them.
“Who are you to be my honored guest? Have you checked yourself?”
Winnie got wooden, let alone Dakota, Billie and other people.
They thought that they might have a shot with Brooke and got a luxurious life if they got to see him in
person.
But it turned out that Brooke just didn’t know Edwin!
Winnie instantly regretted to have suggested to invite Brooke over.
Brooke examined them cold-bloodily and then uttered an indifferent sentence, “Get them all out! From
now on, they won’t be welcomed at Spaerrace!”
All the people present were taken aback.
A bunch of black-clad men entered the room and were about to throw them out.
Two of them walked towards Marie and Serena.
At the same time, a clam voice sounded in the room.
“Even me?”
“What?”
Brooke frowned and followed voice and located Leo who was sitting in the corner and was quiet all this
time.
As Leo was sitting in a blind spot and was silent, Brooke didn’t notice him.
His face then immediately changed and got fierce, “Leo?”
All the people present paused and were shocked by the fact that Marie’s boyfriend knew Brooke.
Winnie froze and thought that Brooke wanted to throw them out because of Leo and hurriedly said, ‘Mr.
Brooke, we barely know this man! You can punish him and Marie for whatever reasons but don’t lash it
out on us.”
Brooke got cold-blooded, “Give her a slap!”
Two of the black-clad men then immediately slapped Winnie on the face.
Winnie’s face soon got swollen and her husband Reuben dared not to say anything.
Brooke then turned to Leo and walked towards him, “Well, you can be at Hopkins all you want, but how
dare you to show up in my turf?”
Brooke’s voice filled with killing intention.
But Leo just cracked a casual smile, “I don’t want to cause a scene here, but it doesn’t mean that I’m
afraid of you. Conversely, you should be fearing me.”
At the drop Leo’s sound, all the people thought that they were crazy.
Marie’s boyfriend must be mad!
How dared him to say those to Brooke!
As expected, Brooke got increasingly fierce.
While he was about to say something, Leo took out a golden card and a small gold emblem from his
pocket.
“Well, these two items should be shocking enough, right?”
He then put down those two items on the table in front of everyone.
They didn’t know what that emblem stand for, but they were way too familiar with that golden card!
The most exclusive VIP card of Spaerrace!
They were in total shock.
Leo got the golden card, so did it mean that those dishes and wines were served because of him?
Marie’s sight landed on that emblem.
“The Brooks’ emblem!”
Brooke was instantly under immense pressure.
Back in the Hopkins auction before, he competed this emblem with Leo and he failed.
As long as Leo had this emblem, he was one of the Brooks!
Seeing that Brooke went silent, all the people present were stunned.
Leo put away the card and emblem and then smiled, “Do me a solid here. He is my friend.”
Leo pointed at Edwin.
Brooke then turned to Edwin and was surprised.
Edwin was speechless for he was dumbfounded.
Apart from the shock, his eyes also brimmed with gratitude. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Leo just saved him!
Brooke got silent for a while and then waved his hand, “Release them.”
He then said to Edwin, “I will just let this slide since you are his friend.”
Then he strode out of the room.
