Chapter 491
Matthew couldn’t help frowning. Argh, how disgusting! How could Grace point her finger at me just to attract people’s attention? Isn’t she trying to turn me into a joke? Because Elaine was instantly surrounded by the boys when she came in, she didn’t notice Matthew at all.
When she heard Grace’s statement, she looked over at once. In an instant, she was stunned and her expression turned cold. She remembered herself being embarrassed by Matthew at the Shanghai Nights restaurant. Back then, she thought that Matthew had succeeded in life.
After that, she found out from Charlie that Matthew had only inadvertently saved Billy’s daughter and that was why he had that Supreme Card. Moreover, the debt Billy owed to Matthew was already cleared now; the way Charlie talked about Matthew was full of disdain.
At that time, she was so furious and thought that Matthew was pretending to be wealthy so that he could humiliate her. She had been finding the opportunity to take revenge on him. Little did she know that she would be meeting him at the party tonight.
“Huh. Isn’t this the son-in-law of the Cunningham Family?”
“What’s the matter? Even after informing your family, you still dare to come to the reunion party?” Elaine sneered.
At that moment, everyone was surprised and started wondering what was happening right now. Immediately, Elaine told everyone about Matthew’s story. But, the story was an exaggerated version.
Once she finished the story, the crowd burst into laughter. Grace, in particular, was laughing so hard as she pointed at Matthew and said, “I didn’t expect you to be even more useless than I imagined, Matthew! Forget about being a toilet cleaner at a hospital.
How could you allow yourself to become a live-in son-in-law? Look at what age we’re in now. Are there still people willing to be a live-in son-in-law? Oh, dear. How ridiculous! Matthew, even if you don’t feel
ashamed, you should at least think about your family, right? Your parents didn’t raise you for you to humiliate them like this.”
Instantly, Matthew’s expression went frigid and he spat, “Watch what you say, Grace! You can talk however you want to me, but don’t ever involve my parents! You better listen carefully. No matter what, you should respect other people’s parents. This is the basic quality of a human being!”
After being scolded by Matthew, Grace was frustrated. “How dare you speak about quality with me? Look at yourself! A live-in son-in-law who works in a hospital as a janitor. You’re simply discrediting all of us just by attending this reunion party! Respect? Quality? Look at your stupid face. Can you bear it if I were to respect you?”
At this moment, Ed could no longer stand her. “Grace, y-you’ve gone too far. You’ve got no say in how other people live their lives. It’s none of your business. How can you say that Matthew is embarrassing himself when he’s working to support himself with his own labor? H-How can you say something like that?”
Seeing Ed’s anger, Leo instantly stood out and comforted, “It’s just a joke between classmates. Why are you taking it to heart? Ed, you too. Stop frustrating yourself.
Matthew is a tough guy. He can take the joke! But speaking of that, Matthew, this is your fault. We’re classmates. If you have any difficulties, you should tell us. At least we can all help you to figure out a solution.”
Snorting at Leo’s remarks, Matthew was too lazy to bother with a hypocrite like him. He had put on a mask of pretense just to appease Ed. It wasn’t long ago that he was still worried that Matthew wouldn’t be able to afford tonight’s bill.
Humming in agreement to Leo, Grace suddenly let out a chuckle, “Oh right, Matthew. Why didn’t you bring your wife to meet us? There aren’t a lot of live-in son-in-laws these days. If it weren’t a special circumstance, why would anyone want a live-in son-in-law?
Is it because your wife is so ugly that no one wants to marry her and that’s why they had no choice but to get someone useless like you?”
Everyone couldn’t help but crack up again.
