He was asking Albert to come here? Wasn't he seeking death for himself? 2
He had initially wanted him to bask in his joy and sorrows, but it seemed that he wanted to continue pretending that he was very cool. Now, it seemed as though this son-in-law had indeed cut off his own chances of living because he was pretending to be very cool himself. 4
Jake did not know that he had already dug his own grave. Moreover, he was even being complimented by s 0 many people. At this time, Jake walked up to Charlie before he smiled and said arrogantly, "Charlie, you’ve offended me just now. Therefore, the opportunity to go to the eighth floor of the Glorious Club has nothing to d 0 with you anymore. You can leave with your father-in -law now." 7
Jacob glared at Jake with an ugly expression on his face as he said, "Hey, Jake! Don't you think that you are being a little too much? Did you actually think that I came here to eat and drink with you for free? I am here to meet up with my old classmates!" 1
Jake curled his lips before he said, "The reunion party with your old classmates? Isn’t the party at the school already over? I am the one who arranged for this second party, so are you going to insist on coming along with us even if you are not invited at all?" 1
"Exactly!" Aaron snorted coldly as he said, "Jacob, weren't you very arrogant before this? You were a rich second generation when you were in school. Since you’re so capable, you can just book a room in the Glorious Club all by yourself, then! Do you really intend to let my son-in-law treat you to food and drink for free?" 4
The other classmates never expected Aaron and his son-in-law to suddenly start attacking Jacob and Charlie. Moreover, they were using some very nasty and bad words on them in front of everyone else. 2
However, none of Jacob's classmates dared to step up t 0 help Jacob at all. After all, Aaron's son-in-law was indeed the one who had arranged for the second gathering at the Glorious Club. The only reason they could enter the club was because of Jake in the first place. So, who would possibly dare to speak up for Jacob now? 1
Jacob had a very ugly expression on his face as he blurted out, “Aaron, you are such a bully!"
"Did I bully you?" Aaron asked disdainfully. "I am simply not inviting you out to have food, drink, and fun with us for free. So, why is that considered bullying?" 4
At this time, Jacob quickly replied, "Okay, then! If that i s the case, I will just pay for my own expenses today! You can just tell me how much it costs per person and I will pay for myself and my son-in-law.” 2
