Chapter 30 Nathen Confesses to Karina
Karina stood up as a formality, gesturing, “Mr. Reynell, how do you do?”
Nathen’s appearance instantly caused a commotion in the reception hall.
The guests who had previously been gathered in groups now turned their attention to the lounge area.
Karina stood in front of Nathen.
Adorned in a sea–blue gown, she looked graceful.
With her tall and slender figure, unparalleled beauty, and aloof demeanor, she attracted countless admiring gazes.
It was rare that Nathen and Karina, both strikingly attractive, would appear at the same time.
Recently, rumors had been circulating among Hallcester’s upper class that Nathen had been passionately pursuing Karina, the heiress of the Huber family.
However, they had never been seen standing so close together before.
The onlookers were full of admiration and envy for this perfect couple.
But there was strong jealousy and resentment.
It seemed like all the world’s beauty had converged upon these two people!
Nathen possessed all the qualities of a perfect man.

Karina’s perfection was beyond words.
The Huber family’s deep roots in Hallcester, her position as the city’s premier beauty, and her title as a businesswoman returning from a prestigious international school were sufficient to make her unparalleled.
While speaking, Karina noticed two other individuals.
They were her uncle Justin Huber, and his wife Alondra Dalton.
Harold had two sons, the elder Camdyn Huber, and the younger Justin.
Harold had stepped back from the forefront five years ago, allowing his elder son Camdyn to take over the reins of the Huber Group.
Under Camdyn’s leadership, the Huber Group had flourished.
Camdyn almost successfully took over the company.
However, three years ago, he fell seriously ill and was bedridden.
Despite the Huber family’s efforts to find the best medical care, Camdyn’s condition remained incurable.
Following Camdyn’s fall, it should have been Justin’s turn to take over the Huber Group.
However, Harold didn’t believe that Camdyn was noble and able enough to bear the heavy responsibility of the Huber Group.
Thus, Harold had to step in again to support his granddaughter Karina in taking over the Huber Group’s legacy.

Chapter 30 Nathen Confesses to Karina
This decision had left Justin resentful.
Over these years, the couple had cultivated close ties with the Reynell family.
Their objective was to secure the Reynell family’s assistance in gaining control of the Huber Group.—-
Upon learning of Nathen’s desire to marry Karina, they became even more diligent in their efforts.
“Karina, you’re here early. I thought you were at the company.”
Justin said as he saw Karina, visibly relieved and excitedly approaching her.
“Today’s event has nothing to do with you. Why are you here?” Karina’s voice turned icy as she swept a glance at Justin and Alondra.
“Karina, we come here at Mr. Reynell’s invitation.”
Justin smiled ingratiatingly at Nathen and said, “Mr. Reynell really admires you. You two are such a good match…”
“Enough!” Karina interrupted coldly, “When did it become your place, Uncle, to meddle in my affairs?”
“Karina, listen to me…” Camdyn wanted to continue.
“Uncle, why don’t you go in first? I need to have a word with Karina,” Nathen interrupted, extending a courteous hand towards Karina while smiling.
His elegant demeanor and warm smile made Nathen look like a fairytale prince.

“Karina, Justin is right. I really love you. Everyone in Hallcester knows that in my heart, there is only you. You are the only one who I want to walk down t
Nathen gazed deeply into Karina’s eyes, his tone gentle and heartwarming, causing the young ladies watching to be deeply moved.
“Karina, if you are willing to be with me, I will never abandon you!
“It’s my luck if I can spend the rest of my life with you. Can you marry me?”
As soon as Nathen finished speaking, some of the women who were already infatuated with him burst into tears, sobbing, “Mr. Reynell, it’s so touching…”
Karina’s face turned cold, and she looked annoyed, saying, “Mr.
Reynell, this is a business wine party, not a place for you to show off your acting skills.”
However, Nathen smiled indifferently and said, “Karina, isn’t life itself a play? If I could become the leading man in your script, I would gladly showcase my acting skills!”
The scene in front of the hall erupted with applause and excited sobbing.
The onlooking young men and women rushed forward, shouting with emotion, “Say yes! Say yes!”
Karina frowned.
Faced with Nathen’s eloquent confession, she had no idea how to respond.

In her moment of panic, she retreated to Robin’s side, taking hold of his arm and smiling, “Mr. Reynell, please stop joking. Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Robin.”
Robin gave a slight start.
Seeing Karina’s pleading eyes, he understood.
Robin pulled Karina closer into his embrace, his cold gaze sweeping the scene, and he nodded slightly.
Then, he turned his mocking gaze towards Nathen.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you say such nauseating things to Karina in my presence? Do you think I’m going to tolerate this? Get lost!”
Karina’s cheeks reddened, and she leaned into Robin’s strong shoulder.
At that moment, everyone truly noticed Robin’s presence.
Though they were surprised, there was no denying that Robin and Karina were even better matched in looks and demeanor.
Among the onlookers were some who had come from the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center and Purpeak Bar.
They recognized Robin as the audacious man who had bet 48 million dollars at the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center and dared to brawl with Melvin and confront Leonel at Purpeak Bar.
He was Karina’s boyfriend?
No wonder he was so bold!

again.”
Jacob shook his head. “Nathen isn’t like Melvin. He holds sway in Hallcester. Except for Cecilia, no one can match him!”
“Clearly, Karina is just putting Nathen off. She made Robin, the bodyguard, pretend to be her boyfriend.”
“I bet Robin wouldn’t dare offend Mr. Reynell.”
***
Nathen also noticed Robin by Karina’s side at this moment.
Since entering the lounge on the 28th floor of the exhibition center, he hadn’t paid attention to anyone else.
He was accustomed to being the center of attention wherever he went.
But Nathen never thought Karina had a boyfriend!
As Hallcester’s number one heartthrob, Nathen never expected that, after confessing his feelings in front of so many people, he would be humiliated by
Four years ago, Nathen had returned from overseas and quickly secured his position as the top bachelor in Hallcester.
Whether in terms of family background, ability, or looks, he and Karina were a good match.
Yet, Robin dared to display affection with Karina right in front of him, publicly humiliating Nathen!
Nathen was infuriated.

appearance!
The first to recover from the shock was Karina’s uncle Justin.
He strode up to Robin and Karina. His voice trembling with anger as he said, “Karina, what are you doing? Mr. Reynell has confessed to you, and yet you bring a bodyguard to brush him off. Your grandfather would be furious if he knew!”
“And you!” Justin pointed at Robin, his voice cold. “She’s being capricious, and you, a mere bodyguard, dare to talk nonsense. Aren’t you afraid the Hube out?”
Robin, without waiting for Karina to respond, sneered, “What are you? What I do is none of your business! Get lost!”
“You… You punk! You’re asking for it! With just those words, both the Huber family and the Reynell family could kill you on the spot!” Justin trembled with anger as he pointed at Robin.
“Mr. Reynell, I’m sorry. This guy is just insane! Please… Just ignore him.”
Nathen once again put on a warm smile, displaying great magnanimity. “It’s alright. Karina is just joking with me.
“No matter how capricious she is, I’ll forgive her…”
“Karina, give me a kiss!” Robin, ignoring Nathen’s pompous speech, pointed at his cheek and spoke loudly.
The scene fell completely silent. Even Nathen was taken aback, looking at Karina and Robin.
Hell
Karina hadn’t expected Robin to ask her to kiss him in front of
everyone.

“This guy is so arrogant!”
“He publicly humiliated Mr. Reynell at the event. How dare he!”
