Ioan stood in front of the shareholders, his words resonating with them.
"Yeah! What does this have to do with us?"
"Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty?"
"Exactly!"
The noise grew louder and more chaotic. At that moment, the banquet hall doors suddenly swung open.
That was when the real Theo walked in. Instantly, the disgruntled murmurs were silenced. Everyone watched as Theo made his way to his seat.
"Everyone, if you have something to say, say it to me."
With Theo present, the shareholders, who had been bold enough to grumble earlier, instantly became submissive.
Theo stood up and addressed them, "This man beside me is a close friend of mine. How dare you treat him with such disrespect?"
Upon hearing this, the shareholders hung their heads in shame and fell silent. Theo glared at them, his eyes burning with anger. With a commanding voice, he ordered, "Everyone, apologize! Address him as Mr. Nash!"
"M-Mr. Nash, we're sorry!"
"Mr. Nash, we're sorry!"
Theo continued to glare at the shareholders, but he noticed that Tomaz remained silent. Fixing his gaze on Tomaz, he shouted, "You! What's the meaning of this? I told you to apologize!"
In an instant, all eyes were on Tomaz. He clenched his teeth, his mouth twitching. His eyes were wide open with suppressed anger.
