Chapter 1096

Rossiter said furiously, "Watch your mouth! Do you know who you are talking to?"

Debbra was scared by what was happening in front of her eyes. She knew Rossiter well. Rossiter had a huge ego that could lead to another disaster at this moment. Debbra had to stop Rossiter from acting out.

Debbra explained to Rossiter in a hurry, "Rossiter, calm down. It's okay. He is my friend."

"Friend?" Rossiter sized Henry up. Henry's handsome face and confident presence posed as a threat to Rossiter, "Debbra, how come I never heard this friend from you?"

"Haha," Debbra gave a fake laugh and lied to Rossiter, "He just came to Yizhou Country a while ago."

"Debbra, did you try to fool my brother," Yesmina rolled her eyes, "A man who just came to Yizhou Country is qualified for this party? Is he a son of some billionaire?"

Debbra took a look at Henry and didn't know how to answer Yesmina. All she could do was to keep faking her laughing.

Yesmina reached out her hand to Henry and said,

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yesmina Zhong."

Henry looked at Yesmina and ignored her. He turned back to Debbra, "Do you forget about something? Tell me what you know about Ailsa."

Being ignored by Henry, Yesmina was embarrassed.

"Are you trying to make trouble here?" Rossiter was furious. He raised his fist toward Henry.

Debbra panicked. She grabbed Rossiter's arm before he could throw the punch. "Rossiter, what are you doing?"

The way Debbra stopped Rossiter from punching Henry made Rossiter believed that she was protecting Henry. Rossiter suspected that something was going on between Debbra and Henry.

What Rossiter didn't know was that Debbra was protecting him.

Just as Rossiter was about to talk back, the music suddenly stopped, and then all the lights were out. The sudden change caused a commotion in the hall.

The darkness only lasted for one second. Suddenly a spotlight was turned on, and it focused on the place in front of the door.

Under the arched door, there was a blonde white woman. She wore a white chiffon dress decorated with diamonds. The millions-of-euros dress was sparkling under the light.

The woman was tall and beautiful. As she walked forward, her legs appeared from the opening of the skirt.

With a crystal tiara on her head, the woman smiled with confidence. She was the queen of the party.

"This is Clorissa Middleton," Debbra introduced to Henry. "She is the eldest daughter of the Middleton family. Today's party is for celebrating her birthday. I think another purpose of the party is to celebrate the dealings with Ailsa Xiahou.

Henry squinted at Clorissa, "Go on."

Debbra took a deep breath and continued, "I only heard from hearsay. The name Ailsa Xiahou is a taboo that people are not supposed to mention in front of the members of the Middleton family. It is

because the family stole a piece of research from Ailsa. I heard the research is about how to prolong human life expectancy."

"Prolong human life expectancy?" Henry pondered, "Continue."

"A while ago, my Chamber of Commerce got a piece of information. It said that a Yan Xia woman reached business cooperation with the Middleton family, and the investment of the cooperation was in astronomical number. The information caused quite a commotion in the business world of Yizhou Country. I later learned that the woman's name was Ailsa Xiahou. But no one has ever seen her and known anything about her except for the cooperation. It was two weeks ago, a friend of mine contacted me and asked me if I know a way to smuggle a woman back to Yan Xia. After that, there was gossip that Ailsa was in trouble. You know how gossip works. Everything travels fast these days."

When Debbra telling Henry these, she looked very nervous. Debbra kept drinking wine to calm her nerves.

"There was a lot of gossip saying that it was the Middleton family that persecuted Ailsa. Then the Middleton family put out an official announcement. It said that the family obtained a piece of research that could prolong human life expectancy. Two days earlier, there was news that two people broke into the Middleton family company building. Rumor has it that they are from a powerful organization. I'm a nobody so I can't get any detail about them. I just heard that they were in huge trouble. Unless they are backed by some real power, the Middleton family probably will get them killed."

Debbra didn't pay attention to Henry while speaking, but at this moment, Henry stared at Clorissa as if she was a dead body.

Debbra took another sip of wine and continued, "Well, there are many versions of the story. It seems that the Middleton family knows people are talking about their dealings with Ailsa. So they

had one person killed just to show the rest of us an example. Anyone who dares to talk about Ailsa Xiahou will be the enemy of the Middleton family. If you ask me, I say that's a confirmation that they have something to do with Ailsa's misfortune."

Henry grinned, "They are such big bullies."

"What can the rest of us do?" Debbra sighed, "You can say that the Middleton family is The King Region of Yizhou Country. No one can stop them except the Nuoman family."

Henry shook his head. In fact, the Middleton family had already got rid of the control of the Nuoman family.

"Who is backing your people?" Henry murmured. He then stood up and walked forward.

Under the spotlight, Clorissa walked to the center of the hall. Everyone in the room was looking at her.

People applauded after Clorissa's performance of a set of lady etiquette. Then the light turned back

on.

After the applause, no one spoke. Everyone knew the spokesman of the Middleton family was about to make an announcement.

Clorissa looked around in the hall. She was ready to speak, but another voice interrupted her.

"Before you speak, I have a question for you."
