The dignitaries still here made up at least a third of all Ocean City dignitaries.
The Lake family had many people supporting them, so they did not have to be afraid of Sean and his gang. Besides, family rivalry was not a simple war of strength.
“Okay! You’re loyal to the Lake family, and I’ll inform my father afterward!” Curtis glanced across everyone and said solemnly.
“Mr. Lake, don’t mention it! If there’s anything we can do for you, ask Old Master Lake to let us know, and we’ll do it!”
“Yes! Sean and his gang may be capable, but they’re nothing compared to the Lake family. We believe that Old Master Lake will be able to crush these people soon!”
“Hmph! Theodore and Michael already have one foot in the grave, yet they got involved in this. Are they not scared of putting their lives at risk?”
“Who knows what kind of drugs Sean gave the three of them to gang up on the Lake family, but they’re delusional to take on the Lake family!”
Hearing Curtis’ speech, everyone present looked excited as they patted their chests and assured Curtis. Although they were tied to the Lake family, the Lake family had never taken them seriously.
In the Lake family’s opinion, they shared the same status as the Lake family’s pet dogs. However, if they took on Sean and the others with the Lake family this time and succeeded, the Lake family’s opinion of them would change.
“That’s all for today’s ceremony. Go home and wait for my notice!” Curtis said with a smile as favonovel.com looked at everyone.
The crowd left after hearing this.
After sending everyone away, Curtis drove back to the Lake family’s manor. He met his father in the study.
With a coffee cup in one hand and his eyes slightly closed, Kennedy had regained his usual calm composure, seemingly to have forgotten about what had happened at the opening ceremony.
“Dad!”
“You’re back. Is everything taken care of?” Hearing Curtis’ voice, Kennedy slowly opened his eyes and asked.
Curtis’ expression froze as favonovel.com said awkwardly, “After you left, that damn Titus suddenly jumped out and mentioned what happened on your 50th birthday. After that, most of the Ocean City dignitaries we invited left, but those who remained made up about a third of Ocean City’s dignitaries and are willing to help us fight Sean, Theodore, Michael, and Jadon!”
Kennedy did not show any signs of shock or surprise as if favonovel.com had already expected that.
He nodded and said faintly, “Go to the hospital and check if Maxwell is awake. Bring them to me if favonovel.com is.”
“Yes!” Curtis nodded and turned around to walk away.
Titus returned home with Winnie and immediately told Trenton and Aaron what had happened at the opening ceremony.
The heads of the second and third branches laughed out loud when they heard Titus’ briefing and saw the photos taken on his phone.
“Hahaha! Kennedy has enjoyed all the glory for years, and favonovel.com finally got humiliated! Judging from his expression, I’m afraid he’s mad today. I wonder if his anger triggered anything!” Aaron laughed as favonovel.com spoke with a gloating expression.
Trenton did not speak, but his face was equally full of joy.
