“Old Mrs. Graham, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t mean it that way.”
“Old Mrs. Graham, we were just kidding!”
“President Cunningham, we’re truly sorry. Please persuade Old Mrs. Graham to not fuss with youngsters like us!”
These young men apologized repeatedly, swallowing all their pride and arrogance from before. Sasha was dumbfounded because she could only look up to all these people in the past.
But now, she was treated as equals with them, just because she was Old Mrs. Graham’s goddaughter. Even more surprising, these people had to apologize to her, which was beyond her wildest dreams.
Right at that moment, Zachary, who had been standing at the furthest, suddenly shouted angrily, “Old Mrs. Graham, you’ve heard wrongly. We didn’t say that President Cunningham humiliated the cocktail party.
We were talking about President Cunningham’s toy boy. Old Mrs. Graham, you’re also one of the organizers of this cocktail party. Don’t you think that it’s a humiliation to everyone here if you allow a loser that lives off a woman to attend the party?”
Listening to that, those young men from the Ten Greatest Families were delighted. Great idea! Wouldn’t it be fine if the topic was averted to Matthew? Sasha was Old Mrs. Graham’s adopted daughter, so they couldn’t afford to offend her.
Therefore, they would rather bully Matthew. With that, not only they could explain what had happened previously, they could also chase Matthew out. Anyway, their main motive was to chase him out so that he couldn’t take advantage of Leanna.
Besides, it would be even better if he was chased out now. Once no one was beside Sasha, wouldn’t they have the opportunity to flirt with her? In the past, Sasha was just a Chairman of a small company, so they looked down on her and just wanted to have fun.
But now, Sasha was Old Mrs. Graham’s daughter. If they could marry her, it would be a marriage arrangement with another family of similar backgrounds! At once, everyone aimed at Matthew.
This time, Old Mrs. Graham was stunned too. Sasha was her adopted daughter, so it was reasonable for her to defend Sasha. However, it would be unreasonable if she defended a live-in son-in-law.
As Zachary said, it was indeed inappropriate to allow a live-in son-in-law that lived off his wife to attend the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. Old Mrs. Graham was inwardly deliberating on what to do next. Even Leanna looked anxious.
However, before a solution hit upon them, a voice suddenly rang by the entrance. “Timothy Wayne, Mr. Wayne has arrived!”
Upon hearing that, everyone in the room was stunned. Timothy Wayne was the real boss of Eastcliff, and was crowned as the second most powerful man after Billy.
His individual ability had surpassed anyone from the Ten Greatest Families. In Eastcliff, no one dared to offend him.
Similar to Billy, Timothy would receive an invitation card for every Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. However, both of them had never once attended it. So what was going on today?
Could pigs fly? It was unbelievable that Timothy would attend the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. Most importantly, he attended in person instead of asking his wife or son to attend on behalf of him.
Everyone turned around and saw Timothy strode over in a suit and leather shoes.
“Uncle Timothy…” Isaac quickly approached him and extended his hand while smiling dryly. “It has been a long time since we’ve met…”
However, Timothy turned a blind eye to him and directly walked past him to Matthew. He first greeted Old Mrs. Graham. Then, he looked at Matthew and said with a smile, “Matthew, you’re here early! Let’s sit together later and have a few drinks.”
This time, everyone on the scene was stupefied again. Not only did Timothy ignore someone from the Ten Greatest Families and greeted Old Mrs. Graham in a simple way, but he treated Matthew so cordially? What was happening? Why would Timothy politely treat a live-in son-in-law that lived off his wife?
However, before anyone could make any sense out of it, a voice rang from the entrance again. “Billy Newman, Master Newman has arrived!”
The person who was announcing the arrival was even trembling when he spoke. It was apparent that he was extremely shocked and excited! Everyone burst into an uproar while their minds went blank.
The First King of Eastcliff came to this Cloud Nine Cocktail Party too? Wouldn’t that heighten the standard of their event tonight to an unprecedented peak?
