Ellie grabbed Matthew anxiously, saying, “Matthew, y-you better leave first. I-It will be bad once the police get here…”
“No problem!” Matthew replied with a faint smile. “They can’t do anything to me even though I don’t have an invitation!”
Charlie sneered, “Matthew, do you really think you’re powerful now because Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is in Sasha’s hands? This conference is an important event in the medical sector of the six southern states, and everyone here are giants in the industry. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is nothing here, so even Sasha won’t be able to protect you this time!”
Charlie deliberately avoided the topic about Matthew taking part in the conference to make him look bad, but Matthew simply snorted and didn’t say anything.
Subsequently, another group of security officers came up aggressively and Mr. Wellington, who was hopping mad, ordered, “That’s him! Get him for me and break his limbs! Damn you! How dare you cause trouble at Thousand Lakes Manor? You’re dead!”
The crowd which had gathered all looked at Matthew in disgust.
“He’s merely riding on his wife’s success, but he’s acting so insolently. Does he really think that he’s some big shot? Also, all those businesses belong to his wife’s family. Even if it belonged to him, it’s too small to make a difference!” “He’s asking for it by causing trouble here! A lesson should be taught to a person like him; that should put him in his place!”
Someone chuckled and said, “It won’t be as simple as a lesson this time!”
The security guards were surrounding Matthew menacingly and were ready to strike when Crystal and her friends happened to descend the staircase.
Seeing her, Matthew immediately blurted, “You can ask that lady over there how I got in here!”
Turning to look at who he meant, everyone was startled to see that it was Crystal. Mr. Wellington immediately panicked and said anxiously, “Lad, don’t just point your finger at anyone! Do you know who she is? She’s the granddaughter of Mr. Harrison and the Young Lady of the Harrison Family, Crystal Harrison. Who do you think you are to harass Miss Harrison? You must really have a death wish!”
Meanwhile, Charlie was stunned by Crystal’s beauty when he saw her and his eyes sparkled at the mention of her name.
So she’s Crystal Harrison? What a stunning woman! The Cunninghams will definitely be able to enjoy a meteoric rise if I marry her! he secretly plotted.
Seeing the commotion, Annie asked in a puzzled tone, “Who’s that, Crystal? Why is he pointing at you while speaking?”
In the midst of her laughter, Crystal turned her head to look and her face fell at the sight. What’s wrong with this guy? Did he just get into trouble again immediately after entering the venue?
Lucas chuckled, “That’s the guy Crystal is betrothed to!”
Her friends burst into laughter and her face flushed a bright red as she glared at him. “Shut up! He merely knows my grandfather and that has nothing to do with me! What a troublesome person he is!”
“Miss Harrison, do you want me to throw him out, then?” Lucas offered with a grin.
Crystal hesitated before shaking her head. “Forget it, my grandfather already made his instructions clear. It will embarrass him if we throw him out now. Whatever, you guys go ahead while I take care of this matter!”
“Crystal is right,” Annie said while nodding her head. “Alright then, we’ll go to the entrance since Young Master Hughes is almost here. Crystal, make it quick and don’t miss meeting him.”
After giving her a nod, Crystal headed over to the scene and asked with knitted brows, “What happened here?”
Mr. Wellington put on a pleasing smile and greeted her, “Miss Harrison, these two slipped in without an invitation card and wanted to steal something. They even beat us up after they were caught and I’m taking care of the situation now!”
