Chapter 94 An Exclusive Event

Before I’ve even entered the mansion, the insults I’d expected have already started!

In the blink of an eye, Jonathan’s expression went chilly.

The scenes from three years ago played in his mind once more.

“What has my dressing got to do with you?” Regarding Ezra coldly, he drawled, “Besides, I don’t think you have the right to decide whoever is allowed to attend the Smith family’s annual party, no? Has Hugo gotten up in years that you’re now the patriarch of the Smith family?”

“What did you just say?” Seeing that he still dared to talk back, Ezra immediately blew a gasket. “How dare you speak to me in such a manner, Jonathan?”

As far as I remember, he’s merely a useless live-in son-in-law. Every single time he attended the Smith family’s annual party, he always stood there meekly and allowed me to snub him without the guts to utter a retort! But today, he actually dared to answer back?

How dare you talk to me so rudely when you’re simply a worthless bum?” Ezra was so infuriated by his words that his face flushed bright red. “Why are you still standing around, twiddling your thumbs, Connor? Hurry up and keep this good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law of yours in line!”

Hearing his name all of a sudden, Connor alternated his gaze between Ezra and Jonathan.

He stared at them both for a long time yet said nothing at all.

“Connor!” When he made no move to interfere after an eternity, Ezra went ballistic. “Are you going to do something about this, Connor? If you’re not, then I’ll do it for you!”

Josephine, who had been keeping mum, abruptly warned with a cold expression on her face, “Uncle Ezra, it’s the Smith family’s annual party today, so you’d best not make a fuss of things. Otherwise, the Smith family will truly be a laughingstock in the eyes of others! Furthermore, don’t you think that you’ve
