“What you did embarrass the Lake family, but it’s only Kennedy and Curtis, who were humiliated, not us!”
Hearing his words, several people also understood.
Kennedy took control of the Lake family, so the second and third branch lost their power and became expendable families. Even strictly speaking, the Lake family often mentioned by people of Ocean City had little to do with the second and third branches.
Titus’s earlier statement that the second and third branches were going to overthrow Kennedy as the head of the Lake family due to the coffin delivery was probably just an excuse for their actions.
“Alright, let’s not talk about these upsetting things today. We have only one task today, and that’s drinking!” Jagoan spoke, interrupting the party.
Hearing this, Titus immediately nodded and said with a laugh, “Brother Lennon is right. Why mention those two jinxes, Kennedy and Curtis? Let’s drink!”
Titus was not as strong as Jagoan, so he could only open the wine bottle with a corkscrew.
Ding!
Two bottles of wine clinked with a clear and melodious sound. Then, the two men threw their heads back and finished the entire bottle of red wine.
“Hic! Amazing!”
Titus wiped the red wine from the corners of his mouth and exclaimed.
Unfazed, Jagoan put the wine bottle down and returned to his seat.
After finishing a bottle of wine, Titus opened another bottle.
