"What are you doing?" Lydia’s casual voice came from the line.
Leo replied with a smile, "I’m attending a class reunion with Marie."
"Emilia misses you."
Lydia gave her phone to Emilia.
Soon, Emilia’s cheerful voice was heard.
"Daddy! I got a perfect score on my test today. Mom has cooked me so much delicious food as a reward…"
It took Emilia some time to finish her words, so Winnie got impatient waiting and wanted to interrupt him.
At this moment, Leo threw a menacing look at Winnie, which made her shut her mouth immediately.
"Daddy, I’ll come to you on weekend. Goodbye, daddy!"
Emilia hung up.
Leo, however, was still holding the phone and wouldn’t put it down, a warm smile on his face.
Finally, he put down his phone, and Winnie pulled a long face in an instant.
"How dare you disobey the hostess of the party and talk back to me…"
"Someone! Kick him out of the room!"
Just as Winnie was about to call security, Marie smacked her hands down to the table and rose to her feet.
"I dare you to do that!"
Winnie burst into anger seeing Marie challenging her.
"Of course I dare! Marie Henderson, don’t push me too hard, or I’ll kick you out with him!"
At this moment, Edwin stood up. "Come on! We are all old classmates. Stop fighting."
Dakota, Billie and the others also got up and coaxed, "Marie, don’t get so angry. It’s not a big deal!"
"Please, please don’t add fuel to the flame." Reuben was terrified to see Winnie going against the general manager of the J Group.
Winnie, who was still simmering with rage, glared at Marie. "Do you know why Edwin chased you in school, but got closer to me after graduation?"
"Why?" Marie had no idea what Winnie wanted to say.
"Because in this world, connections mean everything!" Winnie snapped. "A person without connections is like a piece of trash!"
Finally, Marie realized that Winnie was referring to Leo. She couldn’t stand it anymore and scowled at Winnie. "Do you know he is…"
"Shh!" Leo shushed Marie.
Marie stopped despite herself.
Her brother-in-law was a big shot, but why didn’t he allow her to reveal his identity?
Winnie sneered, "Go ahead! Why did you stop? Who is he?"
Marie remained silent.
Winnie thought that Marie chickened out, and suddenly, the joy of winning spread across her face.
She pointed at the clothes Leo wore and snapped, "Look what he’s wearing! Are they worth five figures? How miserable! If it weren’t for me, I wonder if he’d ever have the chance to come to some luxurious club like this. However, not only isn’t he grateful to me, but he actually talked back to me. Who do you think you are?"
Then Winnie turned to Dakota, Billie and the others. "I’ll just put it bluntly. Except for me and Edwin, does any of you come to Spaerrace for dinner every evening?"
Dakota, Billie and the others’ faces clouded over, while Edwin knit his brows.
Talking so arrogantly was dangerous, especially for someone who was about to get promoted like Edwin.
Rat-a-tat!
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
A manager-looking man came in and asked politely, "Excuse me, but who is Mr. Cohen?"
Leo walked over to him and replied, "I am. What’s wrong?"
"Please come with me."
