Chapter 60 Kicked Out Of The Banquet 

Crash! 

Heather, Carmen and Lucas were furious. 

They glared at Alex as though they wanted to kill him right there and then. 

At that point, they felt utterly humiliated by Alex.

Their impression of him had changed last night, yet this incident made them turn cold towards him again. 

Heather was especially hostile to him since she offered to give Alex some money when she asked him to buy the present. 

However, he had acted as though he doesn’t need it and rejected her offer. 

In the end, not only did he bought a cheap painting, but he had also managed to offend Demi with said painting. It would be a lie to say that Heather wasn’t angry. 

Alex was dumbfounded and he felt a fresh swell of anger rose in him. 

Henry gloated, “Alex, I have a piece of advice for you. If you are broke, just let me know. I don’t mind giving a few thousand on a charity case like you. By acting like you’re wealthy while bringing shoddy goods, are you trying to agitate Granny? It’s almost like you did it on purpose.” 

Demi was more infuriated after she heard what Henry said. With a disdainful look on her face, she shot daggers at Alex. 

“Granny, Alex has gone overboard. It’s supposed to be your seventieth birthday banquet today, but he ruined it with that cheap gift of his. I think you should throw their family out lest they embarrass us more.” Harper smirked as she gave the suggestion. 

Last night you acted like a big shot. Now, you are nothing. 

The moment Granny gave you that one million as compensation for the divorce, you had lost your pride as a man. 

Upon hearing Henry and Harper’s words, the expressions on Heather and Carmen’s faces took a drastic change. 

If they were really chased away, the humiliation would be too much for them to bear. 

“Granny, Alex was foolish and made a mistake. Please do not hold it against him,” Heather quickly pleaded. 

Although she was pleading for him, inwardly, she was beyond disappointed with Alex. 

“That’s right, Mom! Alex is a good–for–nothing man and has never done anything right. It was his idea to buy you that painting to humiliate you. If you have to punish someone, punish him alone. It has nothing to do with us!” Carmen was quick to disassociate herself from the matter. 

As she spoke, she shot Lucas a look, signaling him to apologize to Demi too. 

Lucas got the hint and was just about to push the blame to Alex when Demi shouted, “Enough!”

She was seething with rage. Scowling at Heather’s family, she sneered, “All of you have made me disappointed. You don’t have to attend the rest of the banquet today. I want the four of you to get out and reflect on what you have done!” 

“Granny!” 

“Mom!”
