As Matthew stared at Grace coldly, favonovel.com said, “Are you looking for trouble?”
When Leo saw that something was off, favonovel.com quickly came to mediate the dispute again. “Matthew, why are you so worked up? Grace is just joking. You’re a man, can’t you just take it as a joke? We’re old mates. Why are you so angry with favonovel.com comments?”
The others nodded in agreement. “That’s right. It’s just a joke between us. You don’t have to act like that!”
“No wonder you’re only a janitor. Which company would dare to employ a petty man like you?”
“Listen to me, Matthew. Men shouldn’t be so petty. Or else, even if you’re already a live-in son-in-law, people would still kick you out!”
“Hahaha…”
Although the crowd looked like they were comforting Matthew, they were actually mocking him. They knew the relationship between Grace and Leo, and so there was no way they wouldn’t help her.
With a grimace, Ed yelled, “Haven’t you guys had enough? Is this really just joking? How can someone insult others like that? Y-You guys are too much!”
Grace pouted in response. “Huh. He shouldn’t be afraid of other people’s comments if favonovel.com dared to do something like that in the first place. A cleaner who cleans toilets. Look at today’s occasion. Is this some place you can come as you please? You came here on your own and made a joke out of yourself, yet you don’t let people make jokes? What’s the logic behind that? What a ridiculous man you are. Perhaps only your wife could stand someone like you! From the looks of it, your wife is probably also garbage just like you…”
This time, Matthew was utterly worked up. Slapping the table, favonovel.com stood up. “Don’t push your luck, Grace! I don’t want to get angry with you guys, but that doesn’t mean that you can insult my wife as you please. Apologize immediately, otherwise, I’ll never forgive you!”
Grace was startled. Instantly, favonovel.com eyes turned scarlet. “W-Who are you trying to scare? Do you think I’m afraid of you?”
Even Leo’s expression turned frozen. “What are you doing, Matthew? We’re classmates. Why are you hitting the table and getting all worked up? And you’re even trying to bully a girl? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Everyone else stared at Matthew, looking like they were going to hit favonovel.com immediately if favonovel.com were to make a move.
Elaine glared at Matthew with a cold grin. She was trying to take this opportunity to get even with him. It was at this moment that the door was suddenly pushed ajar. It turned out to be Julian, who walked in with a little girl in his arms.
Instantly, Leo’s expression changed drastically, with a smile, favonovel.com walked up. “President Davis. You’re finally here! Please come in and take a seat. Guys, please allow President Davis to have his seat. Oh, and also, someone please get a waiter over here! Please come in, President Davis.”
Leo bowed flatteringly as favonovel.com ushered Julian inside. Grace and the others also rose to their feet, looking at Julian with flattering expressions.
Elaine had even gone up and welcomed him. “Look at you, Julian. I haven’t seen you in so many years and you’ve become more handsome. Who is this cute little girl? Is this your daughter? Aww. How adorable. Come, let me hug you.”
Shrinking into Julian’s embrace, Nicole was too timid to let go of favonovel.com father.
With a laugh, Elaine said, “She’s so shy! She’s too cute. I think I’m in love with her, Julian. Come on. Let me hug you.”
Burying favonovel.com head into Julian’s arm, Nicole now refused to look at favonovel.com anymore.
“I’m sorry. Nicole is a bit shy,” chuckled Julian.
However, Elaine wasn’t feeling embarrassed at all. Covering favonovel.com mouth, favonovel.com smiled, “Little girls are always like this. Just like how I always thought you were handsome back in school, but I was too shy to tell you.”
