âWhat?â
In the next moment, his eyes filled with coldness.
âThat woman over there! Sheâs saying that Mommy is poor and canât afford nice clothes. That woman is
wearing a fake dress of the brand that you gifted Mommy last time. Now, sheâs humiliating Mommy,â
Matteo explained everything clearly.
Their father gifted their mother that design?
Everyone was shocked after hearing that.
All the blood drained from Shanaeâs face, and she could not move an inch.
At that moment, Sebastian arrived in front of Sasha with the kids.
âDarling.â
âI told you not to attend these parties. Theyâre not even on the same level as us. Why did you come
here? Are you trying to make things difficult for yourself?â
Sebastian ignored everyone else and put the kids down beside Sasha before he started berating her.
Sasha was embarrassed after that.
Everyone was staring at Sebastian, including Richard, who was sitting beside Jonathan.
Not on the same level? What does he mean? Is he trying to say that they have higher status than
everyone else here? How arrogant!
Having heard that, Richard was infuriated.
âN-No. Grandpa wanted to hold a party for us. I canât just reject their effortsâ¦â Sasha stammered as she
explained.
Hearing that, Sebastian mocked, âJust reject him. He didnât even manage to filter the guests. Why did he
bring you here? To put up a show?â
Sasha did not know what to say.
Damn! How could he utter such words!
âMr. Sebastian, what do you mean by filtering the guests? Are you insulting us?â Richard questioned.
He could not sit still anymore.
Sebastian then answered nonchalantly, âLooks like youâre not that dumb after all!â
Again, everyone was stupefied.
Jonathan had protected Sebastian very well. Since Sebastian had only returned to the Jadesons
recently, none of the outsiders had seen him yet. Jonathan also managed to suppress all the major news
about what happened in the family previously.
Therefore, to the outsiders, Sebastian was just Shin and a countryside womanâs son. How could he be
an excellent man when his mother came from the countryside?
Hence, everyone had looked down on him, until now.
Richard was enraged. âJonathan Jadeson, so this is your precious grandson! Is this how he treats his
guests?â
He hammered the floor with his cane in anger.
Jonathan was furious and anxious too.
Since everyone was infuriated by Sebastianâs words, Jonathan chided, âSebastian, what are you saying?
How could you be so rude to the relatives and close friends of our family!â
âRude?â Sebastian snorted and added, âIâm being respectful enough. If it was in the past, I wouldâve
thrown him out of here!â
He was still speaking recklessly.
His voice was so low and cold that it made shivers run down everyoneâs spines.
Throw him out? Is he that presumptuous and arrogant?
Finally, several guests could not stand it anymore and stood up to help Richard.
At that moment, Devin stood up abruptly.
âWhat are you trying to do? You think he wonât do it? Let me tell you. He can turn you into ashes with a
snap of his fingers!â
Everyone came to a halt when they heard that.
Ashes? Is he really that capable?
They could not believe that. However, after Devin warned them, they did not dare to move an inch. All of
them turned to stare at him, including Shanae.
âAshes? Devin, youâre exaggerating.â
Devin sneered before he questioned, âExaggerating? Would you believe me if I told you that the person
who made your dress has disappeared now, all because of what you just did?â
Shanae fell silent.
âAlso, let me remind you. If you donât apologize to Sasha right away, youâll have to face the dire
consequences. Youâll lose your reputation and probably will be sent to jail too,â Devin continued.
He knew Sebastian very well.
Shanae was stunned when she heard that.
After some time, she glanced at all the guests before she asked, âOn what grounds?â
âJust because heâs the business mogul of Astoria. Heâs rich, and sending every one of your family into
your graves is childâs play. Is that enough?â
In a mocking tone, Devin stated all the harsh truths to Shanae.
