Chapter 456 Being Mocked
As soon as Irene finished, the room fell into dead silence.
Both Ruben and Jemima were fixing their eyes on Irene, stunned by what she said.
Meanwhile, Irene lookedcent with her jaw lifting high while looking at them from above in a
patronizing way.
Seeing that, Leo seemed speechless.
Obviously, she was showing them how excellent she appeared.
Besides, she was venting out all her grievance she just suffered at the gate of the hotel.
Still, Ruben and Jemima were staring at her nkly. But then they suddenly burst intoughter.
“Hahaha…” seeing that, Irene fell into a short pause and then questioned madly, “What are you
“Did she just im herself to be the vice president of As? God, what a joke!”
“Come on, why don’t you literally im yourself to be the president?”
“Hey, Irene, we haven’t met for a long time ever since we graduated, but it never urs to us that you

are actually so gifted in bragging about yourself despite your humble current status!” Rubenughed
out loud.
Jemima’s crazyughter even brought some tears in her eyes.
Irene refuted, “But I really am! I am the VP of As!”
“Oh really? Who is gonna prove that for you?”
Ruben felt like watching a joke, “Irene, do you have any idea about what it means for being the VP of
As? It means wealth and fame! If you were the VP of As, we should have heard of it long ago. But
why did we know nothing about it?”
“Yeah, the only VP of As I have ever heard of is ady named Sophia Walsh. She has been to
Hopkins a few days ago and I was lucky enough to enjoy the honor to have a drink with her. But I didn’t
get her number. What a pity!” said Jemima.
Hearing that, Leo just shook his head.
Among the three VPs of As, Irene had been keeping a low profile and she wasn’t a person good at
dealing with social asions. Besides, she always wired every penny she earned to provide for her
family.
But these people in the room simply denied it.
“I can prove that for her!”
Caroline suddenly yelled loud while staring at Ruben and Jemima with disdain.
Both of them shifted their gaze and stared at her. Then theirughter sounded again.
“Another brag!”
“Hey, man, I got a suggestion for you. Stop hooking up with girls with pretty face only. You know what.
Intelligence also matters. Look at my girl, she’s a brilliant one.” Ruben smiled at Leo.
But Leo only replied with a smile. He still continued with the food.
Now he couldn’t help growing a sense of sympathy for both of them.
They were too pathetic to know the truth.
If they learned that Irene was the VP of As while his wife was the boss, what was more, he actually
owned J Group at the same time, they would definitely pass out because of shock.
Seeing the silence of Leo, Ruben turned to look at Irene, “Hey, after all, we were ssmates. Here is
my advice for you. Learn to utilize your charm to hook up with a richer man.”
“Mind your own business!” Irene huffed madly. Since they wouldn’t believe that she was the VP of
As, she no longer insisted to convince them.
Now she just wanted to finish the meal and left as soon as possible.
Of course, Ruben also noticed her intention to leave. After some consideration, he suggested,
“Jemima, I don’t find it necessary to waste our time here. Honey, why don’t we leave now?”
“Okay.” Jemima agreed.
Leo stood up, “Alright then, let’s go.”
Irene took a look at the dishes left intact on the table, feeling upset if they were wasted, while most of
which seemed quite delicious. So she beckoned a waitress over, “Could you please pack up the food?”
But it was that manageress who came in. She cast a disdainful look at Irene, “Sorry, Miss Garcia, we
don’t provide that service.”
Hearing that, Irene just smiled to reply, “Okay, if so, we would like to sit down and finish more.”
Suddenly, Jemima’sughter sounded again from the door.
“What a joke! Hey, Ruben, I have never expected that you were actually having a crush on a bumpkin
girl back then!” Jemima pointed at Irene with a mocking tone, “Can you believe that the VP of As
loves to bring leftover back home for food? How hrious!”
“Sweetheart,e on, you don’t need to say so even though that’s the truth. Save some dignity for the
‘VP’.” Ruben echoed.
They continued the provocation against Irene, which exasperated her greatly.
Meanwhile, Leo was getting annoyed.
Wasting food should be something to be ashamed of.
But they were actually making fun of Irene just because she wanted to bring food home.
“I still remember there is a rule in J Group—Never waste food. Are you doing the same thing in the
canteen of your workce?” Leo stared at them coldly.
Both of them paused, looking a bit surprised. Then they soon realized that they did tell the truth that
they were working in J Group while talking during the meal just now.
But they just responded with a disdainful look, “So what? It’s none of your business.”
Leo suddenly sneered, “Well, it seems that you have been used to it, huh? Aren’t you afraid you both
will be fired if your president knows about that?”
Hearing that, they only replied with greaterughter.
“Do you ever know about the name of the president? Come on, stop bragging.” Jemima raised her
head to say proudly.
“Listen, the presidentes from the same family of mine! Whoever he is gonna fire, it will never be
me! Do you understand?”
Then Leo took out his phone to dial n’s number.
“Hey, there are two staffs of yours making troubles in front of me. Come over here and get it fixed right
now. If you fail me this time, I will have Justin to take your position and you should get back to
Emerdale!”
Hearing that, both Ruben and Jemima paused for a while.
Then they started to grow more contempt.
“I thought Irene was the only one good at bragging. Now I see, you actually brag better than she does.
What a match!”
“You know our president? Come on, we haven’t even seen him in person. And you just said you want
him toe right now?”
Neither of them believed what Leo just said.
But both Irene and Caroline didn’t know that n was actually the one running J Group. So they looked
worried at the same time.
“Leo, stop.” Awkward, Caroline then said to the manageress, “Just forget about it. We don’t want the
food right now.”
But Ruben and Jemima both noticed the way Caroline addressed Leo. They appeared surprised.
“Your name is Leo?”
Then Ruben’s phone rang. It was a call from stranger.
“Hey, who is it?” he picked it up.
“Ruben, how dare you offend Mr. Cohen! Get down on your knees and apologize to him and his friends
right now!” n shouted with rage.
After a short pause, Ruben shouted back, “Who the hell are you? You ask me to get down on my knees
to apologize?”
“I am the president of J Group, n Watts!”
Hearing that, Rubenughed out, “If you were n Watts, I would be Caleb Grant!”
