Francis didn't expect Hugo would be so rude to him. He was embarrassed and stunned.
Albie, Nyla and other people from the Patel family looked at Hugo in amazement. Actually, it was that Hugo invited them to come. However, he humiliated Francis in public, which was a bit too much.
Nyla was somewhat irritated, and stepped forward, "Mr. Hugo, since you sent us an invitation letter, it means that we are qualified to be here. What do you mean by saying this?"
"Yes, although the Patel family is not as great as the Gary family, we can't be humiliated by others. If you have no concerning for us, why do you invite us here?" Albie was also full of anger.
Hugo glanced at them with a sneer. Just now their attitude towards Casey had already let him know that these people didn't know Casey's identity, and they didn't have a good relationship with Casey.
So, he didn't need to be polite to the Patel family.
"Don't be ingrate. I invite you over because of Mr. Casey's intention. If he didn't tell me, do you think you are qualified to participate in the Gary family banquet?" Hugo said coldly.
His words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in the hearts of the Patels.
Francis' stiff body retreated to the back, swaying, and almost fell to the ground.
Albie and Nyla hurried over to support Francis, and they were also shocked.
"This... how is this possible, it was really because of Casey that we were invited to the dinner?" Nyla murmured.
"He is obviously just a jerk, why would Mr. Hugo think so highly of him?" A sense of frustration rose in Albie's heart.
"Am I, as the head of the Pater family, not as good as a jerk?" Francis said with a trembling voice.
At this moment, every one of the Patel family had a mixed feeling, and they didn't want to believe that they were inferior to Casey.
However, Mr. Hugo had already said that if it weren't for Casey, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to come here.
There was no doubt that his words were an insult to them.
At this time, many people around moved away from the Patels subconsciously after hearing what Hugo said.
Mr. Hugo gave the Patels cold shoulder, so naturally other people wouldn't associate with them anymore.
Hugo turned around, looked at Casey and Edith with an apologetic look, and said, "I'm really sorry, it's causing you trouble again. This is my fault. If you have any dissatisfaction, please tell me. I will try to make up for you as possible as I can."
"Well, we are fine," Casey said.
Hugo breathed a sigh of relief when Casey didn't care.
"Mr. Casey, these people from the Patel family seem to be unfriendly to you and your wife. Do you need me to kick them out?" Hugo asked.
Casey shook his head and said, "No, let them continue to attend the dinner. After all, we are also from the Patel family. I don't want us to get deadlocked."
"Okay, then I just ignore them." Hugo nodded.
Casey and Edith didn't want to worry about this anymore. They walked to the veranda, and talked.
