Taylor, upon hearing the word "trash", couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped up, pointed at Charlie Firth on the stage, and shouted loudly, "Who are you calling trash?"

"Hey, isn't this Miss Lesser from the Lesser family?"

Charlie, as if he had only just noticed Taylor, expressed surprise, "How come you're here too? Since you are, you might as well apologize to my brother. After all, he didn't deserve that slap!"

His seemingly joking words made everyone's gaze in the room converge on Taylor's face.

Miss Lesser's reputation was well-known, though not as exaggerated as Vivian's before her, but she was still a haughty and wealthy young lady.

Everyone had only heard of others apologizing to her, never her apologizing to anyone.

Suddenly, all eyes in the room were intensely fixed on her.

Feeling the intense scrutiny, Taylor, already furious, turned her head and yelled at the crowd, "What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

"Oh my, I'm so scared!"

Damian, mingling in the crowd, immediately clutched his chest, feigned a scared expression, and then sneered, "Miss Lesser, there are so many cameras filming, come on, I'm standing right here, let's see how you're going to gouge my eyes out!"

"You…"

Taylor, fuming, stamped her foot but was caught by Quentin.

The cameras had long shifted their focus from Charlie and the others on the stage to Quentin and his daughter. Every move they made, even a slight facial expression, was captured.

Quentin took a deep breath, knowing the gravity of the situation. If he didn't show the right attitude, it wouldn't just be Taylor's reputation at stake, but the Lesser family's and the Grand Era Group's honor as well.

He didn't care much for himself, but the family elders valued the Lesser family and Grand Era Group's prestige above all. A misstep could cost him his position as the general manager.

Another formidable figure in the Lesser family was eyeing his position greedily, waiting for a chance to take advantage if Quentin faltered over this incident.

He sighed heavily, pulling Taylor's hand firmly, and turned to look at Charlie on the stage.

"Mr. Firth, my daughter is young and inexperienced in the world, her actions and words often lack consideration. Although the Lesser family is not known for scholarly achievements, we did produce a pianist like Andrew Lesser, showing our commitment to learning and culture. I ask you, Mr. Firth, on behalf of my elder brother, to be magnanimous and forgive my daughter's ignorant offense."

In his apology, Quentin deliberately mentioned Andrew, which carried an implicit threat.

But Quentin had always held a high position in the business world.

It was hard enough for him to lower himself to say such things.

Charlie, seeing the situation turn favorable, smiled generously, "Ha, naturally, I won't hold a grudge against Miss Lesser. However, Mr. Lesser, since your daughter slapped my brother, she should personally apologize to him."

Upon hearing this, Taylor was infuriated, "Apologize to that lowlife?! Why should I?!"

"Taylor!"

Quentin sternly reprimanded, silencing her further words. His gaze, cold as ice, served as a warning as he looked at Taylor, "Apologize to Henry!"
