“Mr. Queen, you claimed to be a girl?” Miss Talbot stammered, her disbelief evident as she posed her question about Hayden’s gender.

Hayden met Miss Talbot’s gaze, and the expression in Miss Talbot’s eyes revealed her desire for Hayden to refute her statement.

Despite her admiration for Hayden, Miss Talbot felt a flicker of hope that Hayden was actually a man; otherwise, it would mean her eyesight was failing.

If Hayden were truly a woman, it would suggest that Miss Talbot had mistakenly admired a girl as though she were a man.

The thought made it difficult for Miss Talbot to remain composed.

In fact, anyone who heard Hayden declare her identity as a woman struggled to maintain their composure.

After a brief pause, Hayden replied, “I said I’m a girl. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.”

She had no intention of elaborating further.

If it weren’t for Kevin, she wouldn’t even have bothered to clarify, regardless of others’ reactions.

She raised Kevin’s hand and added, “Both Kevin and I are perfectly normal. He is not gay, and neither am I.”

The room fell silent.

“Mr. Talbot, I see someone I know. I’ll go say hello,” Hayden said, allowing everyone a moment to digest her words. She then stood up with Kevin and approached a familiar face.

However, acquaintances always regarded her with an indescribable expression upon seeing her in women’s clothing.

Hayden chose not to explain herself; she greeted everyone and engaged in business discussions with calmness.

In the past, she would avoid drinks offered by others at banquets, but ever since Kevin came into her life, she had started to partake.

With Kevin by her side, she wouldn’t worry at all if the sky were to fall.

Kevin would ensure that no one had the chance to conspire against her.

At tonight’s business reception, attendees initially intended to focus on business discussions. However, Hayden’s choice to wear women’s clothing distracted everyone, causing them to fixate on her instead.

Hayden mentioned that she originally wore red makeup, but many believed she did it to protect Kevin. She wanted to avoid rumors suggesting that Kevin was gay, so she disguised herself as a woman and falsely claimed to be one.

That was certainly the case.

Numerous attendees attempted to reach Donald and his wife for confirmation. The self-aware couple had turned off their phones early, making them unreachable. Those who had Hugh’s contact information called him instead.

Hugh, who was representing Hayden with clients, received persistent calls on his cell phone. After answering several, he received another call that prompted him to exclaim, “If my brother says he’s a man, he’s a man. If he says he’s a woman, he’s a woman. Please don’t call me again for confirmation. As far back as I can remember, my brother has always been my brother. Now that he says she is my sister, that means she is a sister. No one knows better than my brother himself whether he is a boy or a girl. I’m very busy, so please stop calling me. It’s quite annoying!”

After hanging up, Hugh ended the call.

Several senior managers who accompanied Hugh, including clients, overheard his remarks and exchanged glances, seemingly intrigued by the gossip surrounding Hayden.

“Vice President Queen, is President Queen in trouble?”

A concerned client inquired.

In reality, there was an abundance of gossip.
