Isaac replied softly, “Leanna, the Ten Greatest Families entrusted you to manage the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party, but not for all of this nonsense. The qualifications for attending the party are extremely strict, so not just anyone could attend it. These two own only a small pharmaceutical company, so they are not fit to enter this event at all! Besides, this man is just a live-in son-in-law that lives off his wife. It’s a humiliation to the distinguished guests here that you allow a toy boy in who depends on a woman!”
Once that remark was made, everyone around them raised a ruckus.
“What? That man is a live-in son-in-law?”
“He’s worse than a live-in son-in-law. He’s just a toy boy!”
“I just remembered something. If I’m not mistaken, this woman is Sasha Cunningham, the most beautiful woman in Eastcliff. It seems like she really did marry a useless live-in husband!”
“Oh, it’s them. Aren’t they poor? Why did they come to the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party?”
“Has the qualification of the function become so lenient nowadays that even any Tom, Dick and Harry could attend it?”
“I think that we shouldn’t attach such great importance to this cocktail party anymore in the future. Cloud Nine Cocktail Party has lost its standards.”
Everyone clamored to speak and their voice was filled with despise and contempt. Leanna’s expression changed instantly because she realized that Isaac was deliberately finding fault this time. “Isaac, what are you trying to do?” Leanna asked solemnly.
Isaac replied, “Leanna, I’m doing this for your own good. The Ten Greatest Families trusted you by making you the person in charge of Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. In return, you should live up to everyone’s expectations rather than inviting any ordinary people in general to the party. If you do that, you’ll just be disappointing the elders who trust you!”
Sasha and Matthew knitted their eyebrows, thinking that Isaac was shockingly arrogant. Both of them were standing right there, but Isaac disregarded their presence and insisted to insinuate them as any Tom, Dick and Harry. He was obviously chiding them.
Leanna scolded angrily, “Isaac, please be respectful with your words! Mr. and Mrs. Larson are my friends. Most importantly, Mr. Larson is my daughter’s life savior. If you disrespect them, you’re humiliating me!”
Isaac sneered, “A life savior? It’s just a cunning trick pulled by a mean, vile person! Leanna, are you truly ignorant of it or are you just feigning it? This Larson brat here is just a toy boy who plans to use your daughter as an excuse to approach you. It’s a shame that you’re gratified toward him. Leanna, you’re too ignorant, not having an idea how evil the people in this world can be!”
Leanna flew into rage. “Isaac, that’s enough! If you continue to speak disrespectfully, don’t blame me for bringing on the real deal.” Isaac’s expression became glum. “What? You don’t believe what I say?”
Charlie immediately came forward. “President Sandel, Young Master Leigh is right. He’s doing all these for your sake, so you shouldn’t disregard his acts of thoughtfulness toward you. If I were you, I’d just chase these two out. Young Master Leigh is your heaven’s match, whereas Matthew is just a toy boy that lives off you. Inviting him to the cocktail party is not only a humiliation to the function, but to you as well!” While speaking, Charlie even cast a smug glance at Matthew and Sasha. He was planning to drive those two out in front of everyone. In that case, he would be the only one from the Cunningham Family who attended the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party.
Fury erupted in Leanna’s heart. “Who are you? Are you in the right place to speak on this matter? Isaac, is that how your guests behave?”
Feeling embarrassed, Isaac shot daggers at Charlie. “What gives you the right to speak? Get out!”
Charlie couldn’t help but stand stupefied. Never did he expect that he would end up getting yelled at after he spoke up for Isaac. “Young Master Leigh, I-I’m just speaking for you!” Charlie answered anxiously.
Isaac bellowed, “Shut up! Who do you think you are to speak for me?”
Charlie paled in dismay. Only then did he understand that in Isaac’s eyes, he was even more insignificant than a petty dog.
