Matthew frowned as he was not anticipating that Crystal would say such a thing.
Straightening his back, Mr. Wellington scoffed, “Sir, I’ll take it that you have an invitation card, but you
need to bear the legal consequences of beating up people. Why don’t we follow the legal procedures and
let the police handle this matter?”
Everyone around sniggered as this would mean Matthew was still going to be thrown out at the end of
the day!
“Hang on a moment. I’m making a call!” Matthew said.
“Why? Are you calling for help?” Charlie smirked. “Are you calling for Sasha to save you? Setting aside
the question of whether she’s capable of that or not, just how are you going to explain to her about the
girl next to you?”
The crowd started muttering among themselves and someone commented, “What a shameless guy. He
still had the nerve to hook up with other girls when he’s merely a live-in son-in-law. What kind of man is
he?”
“He’s already depending on his wife for a living yet he still has the spine to hook up with other women.
I’ve never met such a brazen man!”
“What a piece of trash!”
When Crystal thought about the fact that she was the one who brought him in, she found it humiliating
and her face remained stone cold.
However, Matthew held out his cellphone and paced toward her. “Your grandfather is on the line!”
“Why did you call my grandfather? Look at the mess you’ve racked up! I can’t believe you still have the
cheek to call him!” she exploded.
With indifference in his eyes, he asked, “Are you taking the call or not?”
“You—” Although she was incredibly frustrated, she had to take the call. “Grandpa, why are you—”
“Shut up!” Mr. Harrison bellowed over the phone. “I told you to take care of Mr. Larson and this is what
you did? How could you let Mr. Larson suffer humiliation? I’m telling you, you better take care of the
situation now, or you can forget being my granddaughter!”
Almost instantly, tears stung her eyes because her grandfather doted on her the most ever since she
was young and had never yelled at her. This time, for the sake of a wimp, he actually yelled at her twice.
What was wrong with him?
“Grandpa, do you even know what he did?” she argued.
“I don’t need to know what he did becauseI have absolute trust in Mr. Larson!” Mr. Harrison chided.
“Throw out that rich woman and also Mr. Wellington, Charlie and Lily Cunningham! Throw all of them out!
Regardless of who it is, as long as they’re disrespectful to Mr. Larson, just throw them all out!”
“Grandpa!” she exclaimed furiously. “People will leave the conference if you do this!”
“You don’t have to care about that! Even if the conference might fail, we should never neglect Mr. Larson!
Just do as I say and apologize to Mr. Larson. I’ll apologize to him personally about everything else after I
return!”
With that, Mr. Harrison hung up the call. With tears in her eyes, Crystal felt incredibly mistreated, but she
couldn’t defy her grandfather’s orders.
Stepping up to her, Mr. Wellington enquired, “Miss Harrison, what were Mr. Harrison’s orders?”
With an exasperated sigh, she said, “Mr. Wellington, bring her and the Cunnigham siblings out of the
venue now!”
“What?!” everyone gasped in shock. What was happening?
“Why?” Mr. Wellington asked frantically.
Even Charlie panicked and retorted, “What gives? We are the ones with an invitation while he’s just a
spineless wimp! Why is it that we have to leave and he gets to stay?”
“These are my grandfather’s orders. You can either walk out of here yourselves or I’ll get security to
throw you out!” she said in frustration.
They all began bickering, which caused the already frustrated Crystal to send the security on them with a
wave of her hand to end this fiasco.
Finally, silence returned to the venue after the four of them were driven out, but the ones who watched
how the whole situation unfolded were still whispering among themselves. Obviously, they were
unsatisfied with how Mr. Harrison handled the situation.
