“How is this possible? He doesn’t deserve to attend a luxurious feast like this. He is just an asshole!” Phillip roared.
His grandpa barely managed to get two invitations. He had always felt very lucky and privileged to have the chance to attend the birthday dinner. So, he couldn’t accept this result.
The captain looked at Phillip coldly. “Behave yourself, sir! I’ve checked it. You can’t accuse a guest without proof.”
Phillip wanted to argue back, but Henry stopped him. He said sternly, “Shut up!”
“Phillip made a gigantic mistake. I am so sorry.” Henry stood up and bowed deeply to the guests. He could not afford to offend anyone in the Brown family, including the security guards.
Phillip’s face was white with rage, because he knew everyone was mocking him.
Wayne didn’t say a single word until the conflict was done. He cleared his throat and said, “Fine. Just a misunderstanding. Mr. Owen is a friend of my family. There’s no way that he sneaked in.”
“I am afraid you have made a mistake, Wayne. Baron was nothing, but a good for nothing bum! And he has been kicked out of the Perry family. Without us, he wasn’t worth a damn. Oh, that reminds me, he must steal the invitation!” said Phillip through gritted teeth.
Baron took a sip of water and said nothing.
“Phillip, five years ago, Tracy had sex with a security guard. He is the security guard, right?” A young man laughed.
“You’re right! He is that jerk! He shamed Tracy and my family!” said Phillip angrily. He cast a sideways look at Baron and continued, “What was worse, after that night, he disappeared for five years! Guess where was he?”
Phillip’s words seemed to interest others greatly. “Go on, Phillip!” A young man urged.
“He has been in Pola for five years and just got back a month ago!” He said and laughed.
“Oh, I see. He became a soldier!” the young man said.
“No! No! Guess what? He became a swine farmer!” said Phillip loudly.
“What?! Oh, my god. Oh, that was so, so funny!” Everyone roared with laughter.
“Oh, my god. He is so lame. But that can’t be true, Phillip! He is the son-in-law of the Perry family.” Someone said and wiped tears of laughter from his face.
“No. No. You’ve got this wrong. He is no longer the son-in-law of the Perry family. They were kicked out by my grandpa! They actually have nothing to do with the Perry family, including Tracy, that bitch! They deserve it!” He said more loudly.
“You have no right to talk about my wife!” Baron said calmly and stared hard at Phillip.
Looking at the sharp, cruel eyes. Phillip began to tremble in fear. He had never felt so scared or overwhelmed. Because Baron’s piercing eyes make him look like a devil out of hell.
There was total silence in the hall. The shock was plain on everyone’s face.
Soon, Phillip was back to normal. He argued back, “Why I couldn't talk about Tracy? She humiliated the Perry family! Your dirty little secret is fairly well known. Correct me if I’m wrong.”
“That was very wrong indeed!” Baron said coldly.
“You know in your heart that this is the truth!” argued Phillip.
“You don’t think I know that? Huh? You wanted to steal the Samho company from Tracy, so you set Tracy up! You want to deny?” Baron made a clean breast of the fact.
Everyone was dreadfully shocked to hear that. They watched Baron with their mouths open in surprise.
Henry and Phillip were shocked too. How did Baron know about the truth? They didn’t speak of this to anyone.
They had established good relationships with some powerful families and companies. Because of this, the Perry group developed really fast these days.
They had to hide the truth forever, or they would have no place in Cona.
Phillip jumped to his feet and denied, “Nonsense! You stupid jerk! You’re dead to me!”
