Kevin had a polite smile, but it was clear that he looked down on Anthony and Lilly.
Anthony sneered. The MacNeil family was indeed arrogant, and they lived up to their reputation.
Lilly said to Kevin innocently, "Your family is so strange. You invite guests to celebrate that granny's birthday but ask the guests to sit at the door. It's impolite."
Anthony corrected her, "Not impolite, but uneducated."
Lilly nodded. "Yes, uneducated. Uncle, I think it's you embarrassing, not me."
The people around whispered and thought that Lilly was right.
The MacNeil family was overbearing and was even stingy as they reminded the guests about eating. Moreover, they separated the guests into different areas according to the guests' status.
Everyone was a little angry. The guests would not swallow the anger if the MacNeil family did not have Blake as their grandson. So when Lilly expressed her opinion, they felt secretly refreshed.
Kevin's face darkened. He was about to say something when he saw Melody behind Anthony and Lilly.
He immediately ignored Anthony and Lilly, then greeted Melody warmly, "Mrs. Shaw, welcome! Come inside, please!"
Melody sneered. "The MacNeil family is so powerful. You even ignore the Crawford family, the richest family in Clodston. I dare not go in with you."
She bent down to wipe Lilly's mouth and said lightly, "Wherever Lilly and Mr. Anthony sit, we'll sit there."
Melody was supporting Lilly. Ivan also said to Kevin coldly, "Apologies to my friend!"
Ivan did not have many friends. But since Lilly rescued him, he regarded her as a friend. Naturally, he could not watch someone bully his first friend.
Kevin's expression froze as he did not expect the Shaw family to think highly of the Crawford family. He felt a little embarrassed and blamed Anthony and Lilly for the embarrassment. They knew Melody was behind but did not say anything, so he thought they deliberately kept silent.
Kevin smiled and said to Melody, "It's my fault. I'm sorry. Please come inside first! I'll rearrange their seats."
While talking, he deliberately stepped aside and pretended to bump into Lilly inadvertently. Lilly was a child, and Kevin was an adult. As Lilly was unprepared, Kevin knocked her aside.
"Ouch!" Lilly fell to the ground. Her wrist got hurt, and it was reddish.
Without saying a word, Anthony immediately kicked Kevin aside. Kevin had caught off guard, so he bumped into the antique shelf.
Bang! An antique vase fell and shattered to pieces.
Kevin's face immediately turned pale. It was Jerome's most cherished antique, and Jerome repeatedly told Kevin to look after it when the guests came.
Unexpectedly, he smashed it. But he immediately felt that it was Anthony's fault.
Kevin glared at Anthony. "Mr. Anthony, why are you hitting me for no reason?"
However, Anthony did not even look at Kevin. He immediately picked Lilly up and asked, "Are you all right?"
Lilly rubbed her wrists, then her bottom.
"Uncle Anthony, I'm fine," Lilly answered.
The people inside heard the noise and hurried out.
When Jerome saw the broken antique on the ground, he felt his heart ache to bleed. He suppressed his anger and asked, "What's going on?"
Kevin immediately responded, "Sir, Mr. Anthony hit me because he was unsatisfied with..."
Anthony sneered. "Unsatisfied?"
Did I speak just now? I kicked him without saying anything.
