Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were furious to hear Sean’s words.
We’re heads of the top three families in Dorodo. So what if we were late?!
Being late for such little time was nothing!
We gave you a lot of face by attending your fundraising gala!
However, the rest of the guests thought otherwise. Sean’s remark woke them up.
Yes, we’re all human beings.
Why should we arrive early for the gala and waste time waiting for you three who were late?
Since you’re late, you should stand!
This is the punishment you deserve. It’s the result of your own choice!
The guests looked at Elijah, Cole, and Dylan, and some of them gloated.
Quentin suddenly got up to represent all the fundraising gala guests sitting in their chairs and told Elijah, Cole, and Dylan, “Mr. Walker, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Lambert, you guys are late no matter what. In that case, why don’t you just stand? It‘s not a big deal anyway. Commander Lennon also said the gala won’t take long. It will be over soon…”
“Yes, yes, Elijah. Just stand! ”
“Hahaha, standing for a while is nothing!”
“No one told you to be late. We’ve all waited so long for you. You should stand!”
Elijah, Cole, and Dylan’s expressions instantly turned ghastly when they saw many people criticizing them.
The three of them were not idiots. They knew right away that something was wrong. Something was wrong with public opinion.
It meant public opinion had changed!
Yes, Dorodo’s public opinion had shifted!
Before the fundraising gala, Dorodo’s high society was disdainful of Sean’s involvement in the slum and charity fundraising gala to raise money for the poor. Thus, not everyone was against Sean, but at least a fair few had the same attitude as Elijah, Cole, and Dylan.
However, the gala’s attendees were now on Sean’s side, denouncing Elijah, Cole, and Dylan. All three were shocked by the dramatic change.
They never expected that this high society would turn to the other side in just a short period of time. This attitude sparked the realization and anger of the three of them.
Why?
Why did the attitude of Dorodo’s high society change so much in such a short period of time?
“It seems the three of you have no further comments. So please stand here to join the gala. The fundraising gala starts…”
Sean was about to say start now when Elijah raised his hand and interrupted him.
Elijah looked at Cole and then Dylan before asking, “Commander Lennon, there’s something important I’d like to clarify…”
“Oh? What is it?” Sean looked like favonovel.com was interested.
Elijah laughed awkwardly and then went on saying, “The three of us did have something to do today. That’s why we sent our son to the gala with the invitations. But Commander Lennon… You had our son locked up in the city defense army’s jail. I-Is there a misunderstanding…”
“Commander Lennon, our sons aren’t spies. It’s a false accusation!”
“Yes, Commander Lennon, it’s not fair to accuse without evidence!”
