Isaac furrowed his eyebrows. After Charlie related the incident with embellishment and spices, he indeed sensed some conspiracy going on.
“Did you say that Leanna broke the rules and invited Mr. Larson to Cloud Nine Cocktail Party? But didn’t she invite his wife there too? If his wife was also there, what outrageous act could Mr. Larson do?” Isaac asked.
Charlie waved his hand in disagreement. “President Leigh, you shouldn’t compare Mr. Larson with some common pretty kept man. He’s a live-in son-in-law in the first place, so he’s naturally obsessed with vanity and seeks a life of pleasure. He’s only interested in Miss Cunningham’s family fortune. Now that he has a connection with President Sandel, do you think he’ll still be interested in Miss Cunningham’s petty family fortune? He is an expert in deceiving women. Most importantly, President Sandel isn’t repelling him. If both of them were to spend more time together, there’s no guarantee that nothing will happen if she’s drowned in his honeyed words. After all, women are naïve and easily deceived, President Leigh.”
Isaac was inwardly shocked. Immediately, he stood up and said in a deep voice, “How dare this kept man try to take advantage of Leanna? I’ll surely make him regret what he did!”
Charlie was overwhelmed with delight because the sole purpose that he came to meet Isaac was to use him in dealings with Matthew. “President Leigh, you are the only one that is worthy of a goddess like President Sandel! Mr. Larson is just a loser. How dare he try and take advantage of President Sandel? B*stards like him should die!” Charlie sucked up to Isaac.
Isaac glanced at him. “Tonight, you’ll come with me to the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. If what you say is true, you’ll start working at my company from now on. I will give you your due.”
With overloaded happiness, Charlie quickly bowed. “Thank you, Young Master Leigh. Thank you!” It was out of his expectations that he could be qualified to attend the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. This time, he could go home and show off about that. At least he wouldn’t be looked down upon by James and his family.
Without any delay, Charlie went back home and put on his best suit and wrist watch, before hastily seeking Eric to borrow his Maybach.
Looking at his neat clothes, Jason couldn’t help but feel astonished. “Where are you going?”
Charlie replied with beaming joy, “Dad, I’m invited to the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party tonight!”
“What?!” the whole family shouted in astonishment.
Eric stared at him with wide eyes. “W-What are you talking about? Did you collude with James and the others? I’m warning you. If you ever mix with that ingrate, y-you’re no longer my grandson!” Jason was fuming with rage as well. “Charlie, how could you do such a shameful thing? Don’t you know what kind of person James is? He is disrespecting and embarrassing us, including the whole family!”
Charlie was helpless. “Grandpa, it’s not what you think! I’m not invited by James but Isaac Leigh, the heir of the Leigh Family, also known as the President of Everlasting Group!”
Everyone was stunned. That was a big shot! As the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, the Leigh Family ranked third. Isaac Leigh, an outstanding individual among his peers, far surpassed those dandies like Zachary Jackson. Even Eric was not qualified to meet such a significant person like Isaac. Yet, he invited Charlie to join Cloud Nine Cocktail Party.
“A-Are you dreaming?” Jason asked anxiously.
Charlie replied with a smile, “Dad, I won’t lie to you. It’s true. Young Master Leigh invited me to the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party! And, it’s not only that. He even promised that he’ll drive James and his family out of Cloud Nine Villa tonight. You’ll just have to sit back and enjoy the show. I’ll prove with my ability that James’ family is far inferior than us!”
