However, as they took another look at the group, they were shocked. âHow many people are there?â
There were so many of them that they couldnât get all of them into the hall. The guests were appalled.
âWhere did these guests come from? There are so many of them! Could they be from some big
family?â
âLooks like the Assex familyâs status is higher than we thought!â
Listening to such praise, Emma was overjoyed. Benny, however, was pale in the face as soon as he
saw the group of people. The leader of the group was someone he knew well, all too well. They saw
each other almost every single day. It was his assistant in the company, in charge of managing the
companyâs business.
âJeremy, what the hell are you doing?â
âWhy did you bring so many people over? Do you not need to work?â Benny rushed over and scolded
them
harshly. Everyone was appalled at that moment.
This group of people were employees of Assex Constructions, there were hundreds of them. They
were
crowding up the hall so much that they couldnât see anything further outside of the entrance. One of
their female business partners smiled. âLooks like the employees of Assex constructions are really
considerate!â A bald man next to her huffed. âIâd say that something is up. I heard that the employees
quit working
yesterday!â
âWait, really?â
âWhy would I trick you? Itâs not like youâll sleep with me.â
âYou horn dog, all you think about is doing that with women⦠But well, my husband is on a business
trip
anywayâ¦â
Just then, Jeremy said loudly and clearly, âMr. Assex, all of us are here to give our condolences to the
old lady, we are grateful for what she has done for us in the past!â Benny replied, âGod, you guys are
unbelievable. Alright, thank you all for being so considerate. Now thatâs
done, please bring everyone back, youâre crowding the place.â
Jeremy said, âOne more thing.â
âWhat?â
âWe wanted to tell the old lady something.â
âWhat is it?â
Jeremy raised a hand, leading hundreds of employees to shout. âMrs. Assex! We want justice! We
want our
salaries!â
Some guests spat out their tea and food due to the shock. âPaying their condolences?â
âTheyâre literally here to demand for their pay.â Half of the guests took out their phones, taking pictures
of this dramatic scene. The Assexes turned green, drowning in sheer embarrassment. Benny snapped.
âJeremy, what are you doing? Are you trying to turn against us?â
Jeremy shook his head. âMr. Assex, we all have families and children to feed. Please donât take away
our hard
earned salaries!â
âSalaries!â
âSalaries!â
Jeremy continued. âMr. Assex, you have a big family and a big business. You spent tens of millions just
on
this memorial. But you should know that your fellow employees need to provide for our families. You
canât
just take our salaries away! You have to show us kindness!â
âProvide!â
âProvide!â The guests couldnât help but laugh. Benny could feel rage building up in his chest as he spat
out a mouthful of blood. Alex and the others, however, just stood and watched. Claire felt relieved and
smug.
Suddenly, another group of people showed up as well. These people were wearing bright red apparel,
contrasting with the dress code of memorials. Everyone could feel their heart drop watching this.
