1194 Who is Apologizing?
Silas was the first to react, and he cursed furiously, “Punk, do you have a death wish? How dare you treat Peter that way? I won’t spare you!”
“This bastard must be crazy! If it wasn’t for our kindness in letting you come along, you wouldn’t even get to enter Club Aurora, let alone speak to us here as equals! How dare you insult Peter like that. I’m telling you, you’re dead meat!”
“Damn it! You’re just a penniless loser. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to toast Peter? What right do you have to pour the wine on the floor and toast him in such an insulting manner? You must be tired of living!”
“Damn it. We must call security and get them to beat you up to vent our anger! If we just kick him out like this, we’ll be letting him off too easy!”
…
Everyone in the room began lashing out at Lucas. Two hot-tempered ones even wanted to rush forward and beat him up on the spot.
The reason they didn’t attack Lucas was not that they didn’t dare to but that they were afraid of damaging the expensive furnishings and decorations in the King’s Room and having to compensate for them.
Vanessa’s round and chubby face was covered with fury as she pointed at Lucas and cursed through gritted teeth, “You bastard, apologize to my husband immediately! Otherwise, the Williams and I won’t spare you! You can forget about leaving this place in one piece!”
Peter took a deep breath, looked at Lucas gloomily, and barked furiously, “Lucas Gray, are you courting death? If you have a death wish, I can fulfill it today!”
Almost everyone in the private room reprimanded Lucas except for Ashley and Allie.
Allie had been quite close to Ashley in college. Seeing Ashley’s husband being ostracized and attacked by their former classmates, she became anxious and frantically urged, “Uh, Lucas, hurry up and apologize to Peter!
“Peter is very nice. As long as you apologize sincerely, for Ashley’s sake, he won’t hold it against you! Quickly apologize!”
Lucas was speechless.
Peter is nice?
What a joke!
Peter’s former classmates were likely fooled by the nice facade he put on.
Besides, Lucas had indeed poured the wine on the floor to anger Peter. How could he possibly apologize to him?
Moreover, given Lucas’s status and identity, let alone a daughter and son-in-law of the Williams, even if Ray Williams, the helmsman of the Williams, came in person, it would be Ray kneeling down to apologize and beg for mercy from Lucas! It would never be Lucas apologizing to anyone.
Ashley was worried and annoyed.
Vanessa had clearly insulted her with the toast first, and Lucas had just paid her back in her own coin. Why did it warrant so much scolding?
Why didn’t these people dare to say anything when Vanessa insulted Ashley? Yet they were now full of righteous indignation and berating Lucas as if he had done something heinous. This double standard was really disgusting!
Seeing Lucas not responding to her, Allie stomped her feet in annoyance and persuaded Ashley anxiously, “Ashley, hurry up and persuade your husband! If you were still with the Steeles, you might be able to be on equal footing with the Williams. But now… Ah, anyway, you definitely can’t compete against the Williams. You’ll only suffer!”
Ashley was well aware of how capable Lucas was. He didn’t even take the eight top families seriously, so how could they possibly apologize to Peter and Vanessa?
Lucas wasn’t afraid of the Steeles, so he obviously wouldn’t be afraid of the Williams.
Vanessa and Peter were just a daughter and son-in-law of the Williams, so Lucas would never apologize to them.
Besides, the reason Lucas confronted Peter and Vanessa was to stand up for her.
If she stopped him and asked him to apologize to these two people, how could she face him?
What would that make her?
Thus, Ashley rejected Allie resolutely. “Allie, I know you want to help me, but I’ll never persuade Lucas to apologize to them. Besides, he will never apologize to them. Just stay out of this. Anyway, it’s impossible for them to do anything to Lucas!”
Hearing what Ashley said, Allie couldn’t help panicking. “Ashley, I know you think your husband is very capable, but… you can’t be so silly! You’re obviously shooting yourself in the foot by going against the Williams! You’d better quickly think of a solution before things get worse. Try to resolve the feud with Vanessa and Peter!”
Ashley shook her head firmly. She had already made up her mind, and she wouldn’t change her decision regardless of what Allie said.
Ashley looked at everyone in the room and said coldly, “You people speak too vulgarly. I suggest you quickly apologize to my husband. Otherwise, you’ll regret it! When the time comes, you’d better not beg us for forgiveness!”
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
“Hahahahaha!”
“Ashley, are you joking with us? You actually want us to apologize to your husband? You must be dreaming!”
“Haha, do you think you’re still the heiress of the Steele family? Do you really think we’d obey you or think that your husband is some powerful big shot? He’s just a penniless loser. Do you really think we’ll be afraid of him?”
“Ashley, you’re really regressing. Don’t say such stupid things again. All you’re doing is giving us a good laugh. I can’t believe you were our classmate for a few years. You weren’t this absurd in the past.”
“Hahaha, you didn’t become an idiot after getting kicked out by the Steeles, did you? Maybe you spent too much time with your loser husband. That’s why even your IQ has dropped! Tsk! Tsk!”
…
Ashley’s former classmates laughed and mocked her loudly. Many decided to drop their pretense and go all out with the insults.
In their eyes, Ashley was no longer the heiress of the Steeles and now had nothing to do with the Steeles. So they didn’t have to be careful about what they said and be afraid of offending her.
Ashley used to be the heiress of a noble family, so no one dared to offend her, and they could only flatter her. But now that she was down and out, her status much inferior to theirs, so why wouldn’t they take the opportunity to hit her while she was down?
As for Ashley’s warning, they didn’t take it seriously at all. They just thought that she was trying to scare them by relying on her previous status as an heiress of a noble family.
To put it bluntly, no one took Ashley seriously now that she had lost the Steeles as her backer and had been kicked out of the family.
