“I don’t need to know who you are!” Matthew scoffed. “All I know is, you guys are at fault for ganging up against a girl!”
“She’s a thief. What’s wrong with apprehending one?” Mr. Wellington barked in anger.
“Do you have proof that she’s a thief?” Matthew asked instead.
“She slipped in here without an invitation card. What is she if not a thief?”
“She came in with me!” Matthew rebutted.
“Uhh...” Mr. Wellington was tongue-tied. It was true that a person with an invitation card could bring guests, but he still chided, “B-But that doesn’t mean you can hit someone else!”
Pointing a finger at the rich woman, Matthew asked, “Why didn’t you say anything when she slapped someone?”
Mr. Wellington was embarrassed and couldn’t find any words to say.
Just then, a derisive voice sounded out of the blue, “She slapped her because she deserves it, but you’re in the wrong for hitting others!”
Heads turned and they saw Charlie and Lily pacing over with smirks on their faces.
“My beloved brother-in-law, we meet again!” Charlie said with a smile. “It must be destiny that we keep running into each other!”
What are these two up to this time? Matthew thought with a frown.
Someone who knew them asked curiously, “Mr. Cunningham, do you know these two people?” “Of course I do!” Charlie snorted. “He’s Matthew, my brother-in-law. You know my cousin, Sasha, don’t you? She got herself a live-in son-in-law previously and he’s that man everyone has been calling a useless bum!”
The crowd broke out into a clamor at his statement.
“He’s the one? Goodness, so this is how the useless bum whom Sasha Cunningham is married to looks like!”
“He looks very ordinary and there’s nothing special about him. Even a person who relies on his wife can be so cocky. Is he that shameless?”
There was a trace of slyness in Mr. Wellington’s eyes. Earlier, he was stunned by Matthew, thinking that he was some important figure whom he couldn’t offend, but looking at things now, it seemed that Matthew had no background at all. Even though Charlie was a Cunningham, their family was still considered nothing!
“Mr. Cunningham, will the Cunninghams be held responsible for his actions?” he asked coldly.
“Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Wellington!” Charlie clarified hurriedly. “I don’t know what he’s been up to because his family is separated from ours and they are not part of the Cunninghams anymore. However, I think you should check him for an invitation card. As far as I know, his family didn’t receive any invitation! He’s just a janitor at a hospital, so how could he make it to such a luxurious place?” Even Lily butted in, “When we were entering earlier, he was stopped by the security for not having an invitation card. Just how did he manage to slip in? Could the both of them be crime partners?”
Once again, the crowd started another uproar.
Matthew was a live-in son-in-law, a useless bum and a janitor at a hospital!
With all these labels on Matthew, the crowd was even more scornful of him.
Mr. Wellington’s face turned cold and he roared as he pointed at Matthew, “You b*stard! I thought you were someone important, but it turns out you’re just a useless bum! So you said that she came in with you? Fine, show me your invitation card so I can verify it!”
“I don’t have one!”
At first, Mr. Wellington was startled, then he blustered, “Damn it! You’re quite honest, aren’t you? Breaking in without an invitation card makes you a thief, and you even hit a guest and the security officers here! Are you planning a robbery? Someone, call the police! I’ll change my last name to yours if I don’t kill you this time, b*stard!”
