The entire room was silent, with only Leo's faint laughter.
The people at the table looked at Leo with different eyes.
There was astonishment, fear and anger.
Maisy was the step-wife of Karl, the head of the Henderson family!
Although the status was certainly not as high as that of his ex-wife Aurora, she was at least the hostess of the Henderson family.
Who dared to be so aggressive?
But it was Leo who insisted that Maisy punish herself with three glassed of wine.
He really had the audacity.
William and Caroline desperately gave Leo a wink, signalling him not to offend Maisy anymore.
Aurora and Lydia were flat-faced and looked indifferent.
Just from the tone of Maisy's words before, they wanted to give Maisy beating.
Marie was the one who had the hardest time in the middle.
One was his own mother and the other his brother-in-law.
Looking back, Maisy's face had surfaced in anger, "Who made this rule?"
As if he didn't notice Maisy's anger, Leo said indifferently, "This is a rule set by our ancestors, since it's a thank-you banquet, it has to look like a thank-you banquet, otherwise it can't be called a thank-you banquet."
Leo bit the bullet, not giving any chance to refute it.
Karl gave Maisy a faint look, "Drink it."
Maisy was embarrassed, and her teeth were clenched.
Karl had said so, so she had no choice but to drink.
Only, in his heart, he became even more resentful towards Leo.
Maisy took a deep breath, lifted her glass, pinched here nose and drank it all in one go.
One glass over, Maisy was already a little dizzy.
It was a small glass, but it was alcohol!
"There are two more glasses."
Leo pointed to the remaining two glasses and said with a smile.
Maisy bit her tongue hard, using the pain to keep herself awake.
With an icy glance at Leo, he picked up two glasses and drank them down again.
After all three glasses were finished, Maisy was drunk.
Leo led the applause and said with a smile, "Maisy, good job."
He looked at William and Caroline again, "Maisy has drunk three glasses, she has shown her sincerity, now you can drink."
William and Caroline looked at each other, unaware that this glass of wine, they felt, weighed a thousand pounds.
Still, they drank them all.
Maisy had already sat back in her original position, and although the expression on her face could not be seen as happy or angry, her heart had already made up her mind that she would definitely take revenge back.
Lydia gave Leo a meaningful glance, and Aurora even had an appreciative look in her eyes.
The banquet was titled as a thank-you party, but could they really made an apology.
It was insulting to Maisy.
But Leo's words completely dispelled her thoughts.
Wine culture?
It was just an excuse.
Karl took his glass of wine and said to William, "William, I am really sorry about Lydia's identity."
After saying that, Karl drank the wine in front of him.
William let out a bitter smile, "All that the family head did was for the sake of the family, and besides, it has been so many years since it happened that I have long since stopped minding."
