Claire didn't get mad at all.
"No need to be so rude. I know you're just jealous."
She was completely full of herself.
Sherry was sitting at the head of the table, but Claire had probably never been inside a real company in her life. She thought the chair she took was the boss'.
Sherry spoke calmly, and everyone else secretly admired her.
Most people would be mortified and pretend they didn't know their own mother at a time like this.
"Mrs. Campbell, this is a meeting room, not a reception area. If you can't even tell that much and still come here to make a scene, I think you're asking to get put in your place."
Joseph had never held back from hitting her before.
Claire's face twisted for a second.
"I'm a wealthy wife. I eat well and live well every day. Why would I know that? You working losers could work your whole lives and never afford even one of my dresses."
She looked down on every elite in front of her.
She treated everyone equally like trash.
"Whatever. You people have no sense. I'm here to confront you, Sherry!" Claire shot her a glare. "Teresa asked you for an invitation. Why didn't you give it to her?
"You'd only embarrass yourself if you went. And you don't need resources or connections anyway. Just be a housewife. Even if you had connections, you wouldn't know how to use them. You'd just waste them.
"So give me the invitation. Now."
She held out her hand directly.
So Teresa sent Claire here to make a fool of herself.
"Didn't Teresa tell you? I already said she can forget it. It's never happening."
"That's what she said. Now I'm saying it! I came here personally to ask you. I'm doing you a favor. Don't make me be rough with you."
"How rough?" Sherry asked coolly. "Go on."
Claire acted like controlling Sherry was the easiest thing in the world.
"We'll use family discipline. Your brothers will punish you, and you'll never set foot in Campbell Villa again. I mean it—you'll never step through the front gate again."
Sherry poured herself a glass of water.
"You already did all that to me before. You really think I'm still scared?"
Claire snapped at her, "You know I did! I guess I did it too much, and now your skin's just too thick to care!"
She suddenly remembered something and leaned in.
"If you don't agree, I'll have you removed from the family register. Completely erased. You'll be a nobody with no ID. You'll never get into the Campbell family again.
