Chapter 3 Mr. Stewart helped her when she was in trouble

At this moment, Shirley tried hard to sit up, but a strong force pushed her down again all of a sudden. "Shirley, how are you doing? It must be really painful..." A soft voice came, and a petite and charming woman in a white dress ran out in a hurry, then she crouched down to help Shirley while tears streaming down her face. Everyone developed a sense of pity for this petite woman in white in a moment. Such a pure and charming woman made everyone wanted to protect her, thus they almost ignored the unresponsive Shirley who fell to the ground. Shirley looked up at her cousin Maria and felt that the world was really ridiculous. Just when her cousin pressed her, fragments of the glass also inserted into her palm and arm, and a little cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Watching this scene, Leon made a quick stop while his slanted eyes shining with a faint mist like fog, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved in an indifferent manner. When he saw Shirley's beautiful face, as well as the forbearance and stubbornness in her eyes, his eyes flickered while his lazy expression changed a little. Then he walked step by step to Shirley's side and crouched down to reach out his delicate right hand that as fair as jade. "Are you okay?" Leon's beautiful brow wrinkled slightly. Staring at Shirley, he said word by word in a voice that was like the sound of a clear stream, touching her soul. The stream flowed through the heart of Shirley, warming her in an instant. Shirley felt a lump came into his throat, and at her most awkward moment, it turned out that a stranger would come to rescue her. Shirley placed her unharmed left hand in Leon's palm, then it was wrapped in his hand, bringing warmth that almost warmed her heart. But Shirley looked up at the man in front of her and found that he was as an unworldly deity. She just felt her heart beating faster and her soul was trembling. She wanted this man. Leon didn't glanced at Maria from beginning to end. After pulling Shirley up, he spoke in a clear voice and said, "Jacob, take her to treat the wound." A man in a black suit appeared behind him, then he respectfully nodded to Leon. He approached Shirley and said, "Miss White, please come with me." "Thank you very much today, sir." Shirley said to Leon while nodded at him. Anyway, when she was in a state of distress and loneliness, it was Leon who lent a helping hand, and she was grateful to him. Maria came to her senses and realized that Shirley was about to leave. Then she stepped on her high heels to follow up, "Shirley, you're bleeding, it must hurt..." She wept in tears as she chased after her. Shirley frowned and turned back. "Maria, I only have one sister. Please don't follow me again, that will be all good." Maria's face turned pale, and then she lowered her head helplessly while tears streaming down her cheeks. "Shirley, I don't understand what you mean." This scene was seen by everyone with different thoughts. Everyone knew that Leon hated the idea of a woman causing trouble on purpose and approaching him during a banquet. There was someone used to fall at the banquet to catch his attention, but she was disliked. From then on, that woman was expelled from the list of prestigious family. And... there were even rumors that Leon did not like women. But what was the current situation? Miss White was really lucky. Maria stomped her feet and then turned back to Leon with a grateful smile. "Mr. Stewart, thank you for saving my sister today." Her smile was sweet and gentle, with a charming demeanor which made several young gentlemen next to her stunned. Leon just glanced at Maria in an indifferent manner and continued stepping forward. "The banquet shall go on!" As the word fell, the symphony in the hall sounded in a flash, leaving Maria standing there in an awkward manner. Some young ladies peered at Maria and felt jealous. "She is just pretending to be noble, she still comes here even the White family suffered from bankruptcy!"
