Frowning, Matthew snapped, “It’s none of your business who calls the shots in this household! If you’re not going to drink, sit down.”

“And what do you mean by sending me away while I’m trying to offer President Cunningham a glass of wine?” the boy challenged him with a glare. “Do you actually think you’re the head of the household? Even if you were, it’d only be polite to allow me to pay my respects. Don’t you think so, President Cunningham?”

The boy’s friends cheered him on and he shot Matthew a smug, disdainful look.

If he managed to crush Matthew under his foot by the end of the night, he would consider his evening a success.

As long as he could get the older man to admit defeat, he would have more chances to interact with Sasha in the future.

Unfortunately, Sasha begged to differ and she slammed her hand on the table before shouting angrily, “That’s enough! Mind your friends, Minerva! If you can’t do so, don’t come back in the future!”

Upon hearing that, Minerva instantly became anxious. “What are you saying, Sasha? W-We’re here to visit Aunt Helen, so how could you send us away?”

Similarly, Helen quickly added, “Exactly! How could you say that, Sasha? Minerva is your cousin. Don’t forget that your aunt—”

However, Sasha interrupted her mother and she thundered, “I haven’t forgotten, alright? I haven’t forgotten anything! But let me tell you something—the name on the deed for this property is Matthew Larson so yes, he is indeed the one who calls the shots here!”
