Chapter 198

Jaden’s expression took a great turn. Initially, he thought that Matthew was just a common friend of Leanna. Therefore, Jaden was convinced that Leanna would take his side for the sake of her pride, even if he firmly accused Matthew of hitting someone. Unexpectedly, Leanna defended them.

Jaden’s family, the Lach Family was on good terms with Leanna’s family, the Sandel Family. By right, Leanna wouldn’t rebut him, just to save his dignity in public.

But now, Leanna didn’t spare him any respect at all, and that showed the importance of these two in Leanna’s heart.

Jaden’s face was flushed red in embarrassment. Yet, he couldn’t give in because everyone was looking at them.

“Leanna, since they’re your friends, then I might have made a mistake. However, they shouldn’t hit someone at such a high-end cocktail party, even if they are your friends. All the guests here are eminent figures from the high society of Eastcliff, and we’re all civilized. Isn’t it inappropriate for him to strike an innocent person?”

Whispers could be heard from the surrounding crowd. Indeed, hitting people was wrong.

Leanna sneered, “Jaden, are you insisting to make a big fuss out of it? Do you think that I’m a fool? Mr.

Larson here is a gentleman. If you don’t violate his bottom line, he won’t fight for no reason.

If my guess is right, the person that was beaten must have tried to violate Mrs. Larson. That must be why he was hit, am I right? In that situation, if Mr. Larson didn’t attack, is he still a man?”

Once that sentence was spoken, most of them acknowledged with approval, especially those who attended the cocktail party with their female partners. If their girl friends were harassed, wouldn’t they be angry too?

Embarrassment appeared on Jaden’s face while he clenched his teeth and refuted, “Leanna, we’re just asking them to move over there so that we can settle things peacefully. What’s wrong with that? It was him who attacked us for no reason. How can it be our fault?”

Leanna replied, “Justice is in everyone’s heart, and they’ll judge who is right or wrong. Jaden, if you’re not happy with that, I can retrieve the surveillance footage of the cocktail party. Shall we ask the public to determine who is right or wrong?”

Upon hearing that, Jaden immediately shrank in dispiritedness. If that was the case, the true situation would be clearly revealed.

Not only his underlings, but even his speech and conduct would be exposed. By that time, he would be completely embarrassed!

Leanna ignored him and walked directly toward Matthew and Sasha in an apologetic look. “Mr. and Mrs. Larson, I’m sorry that I came late. Now that these ignorant servants have offended you, please allow me to apologize on their behalf.”

Everyone was stupefied. It was unbelievable that Leanna, a prominent figure, would humbly express her apologies to this couple. Who exactly were they?

Sasha quickly replied with a smile, “Leanna, you’re too courteous. It’s actually not a big deal. We should thank you for inviting us here tonight instead!”

Leanna smiled. “It’s my honor that both of you are able to attend this cocktail party. Mr. and Mrs.

Larson, let me introduce a few people of the same medical profession to you later on. They’re all great entrepreneurs from Eastcliff, and even Eastshire.”

Sasha was overjoyed. “Thank you, Leanna!”

Leanna smiled faintly but before she could speak further, an icy voice suddenly came from behind.

“Leanna, I think that you don’t have to introduce those people to them anymore because they’re not qualified to attend this cocktail party!” Followed by this voice, Isaac arrogantly walked toward them with a group of people trailing him, who was made up of the younger generations of the Ten Greatest Families.

Even Zachary was one of them. Besides, Charlie was also strutting among the group with his chin up as if he was part of their possy. Upon seeing Matthew and Sasha, Charlie even sneered smugly.

When Leanna saw Isaac, her face sank into coldness. “Isaac, what are you doing here? I invited Mr.

and Mrs. Larson to attend the party. Why did you say that they’re not qualified?”
