"Why shouldn't I?" Shane didn't give him any face.

"I admit that I didn't handle the situation well, but the problem is that the two of them didn't really want to do anything about it! There was nothing much I could do either, other than looking for you. However, it's not because you' re powerful, it's because you're Charlotte's boyfriend. Look, if I had been Charlotte's boyfriend, I'd be able to settle it in the blink of an eye." Avery retorted.

The two men glared at each other heatedly.

Charlotte's face was blank. She couldn't figure out why she had been dragged into their argument. She tried to defuse the situation helplessly. "You're both really great, alright? The most superior beings at this table. Could you both just settle down and stop embarrassing me and Cassius? We're going to get to work later tonight. If you guys start making trouble now, we won't be able to finish our meal in time, and the meeting will get delayed. I don't want to have to waste another day here, alright? Time is of the essence."

Avery snorted coldly and said, "Then tell your husband to stop patronising me! It's not like I didn't want to settle the matter! It's just that it was nearly impossible for me to do so. If having a meal out with someone can be construed as being romantically entangled with someone, then I've probably been with hundreds of people! The netizens are looking for gossip anywhere they can, it's unreasonable to blame it on me!"

Charlotte said helplessly, "I know it's not easy for you, but Shane came all the way here to settle this matter, right? No matter how you look at it, he did end up dispelling all those rumours."

"Of course you' re on his side! You' re his wife! Whatever, come with me, Cassius. Let them stay here for dinner, we'll head out first."

"Oh, alright..." Cassius had been eating. When he heard Avery's words, he hurriedly put his utensils down, and left with Avery.

"Bang!"

Avery slammed the door behind them loudly.

Charlotte walked up to Shane and sat on his lap. "What should we do now? Not only is Avery angry, but you are too. I can't do anything but sit here and watch. Why can't you just help me out without all this drama?"

"You have a problem with that?"

"Of course not." Charlotte leaned on his shoulder. "I'm very happy that you've come all the way here just for me. To be honest, Avery had come up with plenty of ideas to dispel the rumours, but Cassius and I didn't think they were feasible. Plus, we thought that there was no need to clarify anything. After all, we've only just eaten together, and we're just on business. The truth would come out sooner or later." "You're too concerned about Cassius..." Shane held her chin. "You're too thoughtful."

"He's very pitiful." She raised her eyebrows at him. "If you become as pitiful as him, I'll definitely protect you twenty-four-seven. But alas, you don't seem to need my protection at all. You're always the one protecting me instead. I'd like to experience what it's like to protect you just once some time in the future."
