The Woman From Hell

His words made me feel awkward for a moment. I threw a glare at Marius, but he paid it no heed and said to Neil unceremoniously, "If you don't, how were you able to become so acquainted with one another so soon? Don't you think so, Shannon?" Shannon had just stuffed her mouth with food and was startled by Marius's question. Her cautious eyes drifted toward me before she waved her hand with an awkward smile. "Mmm... I won't participate in this."

Neil was not annoyed when he heard this but smiled instead. "Wanda, your friend is quite straightforward, but I really don't have many female friends. I only just happened to hit it off with Wanda. Maybe it's because she looks kind. That's why I'm able to interact with her without any problems."

Marius snorted coldly. "What do you mean by 'interact with her without any problem'?" He stood up and was a little agitated. He startled Shannon, who was next to him.

Seeing this, Neil probably thought his presence was not welcome and turned to me. "I think I should head back now. We'll just have a meal by ourselves next time." "Yes. I'm sorry about this."

"No worries."

After saying that, Neil nodded slightly at everyone, and I sent him to the door. After I returned to the dining table, I looked and Marius and said with some displeasure, "Marius, what is wrong with you? I might not have known Neil for long, but he has been a great help to me. You shouldn't have treated him like that!"

Shannon glanced at me. "You can't fault Marius. He just got jealous seeing how close both of you are."

I glared at Shannon, and she immediately shut up.

"We don't know Neil well. I'll look into his background. He must not be some ordinary Joe if he knows so much about the Yards." Compared to Marius' impetuousness, Tyler was obviously much calmer. However, what he had asked at the dining table just now was also inappropriate.
