Chapter 227
The men all banged their hands against the table and stood up, acting as though they wanted to leave
while Liam hurriedly said, “Everyone, don’t be angry! Come on now and take a seat for my sake.
Sasha, you’re too much. How could you be so ignorant? You’re the host and Jacob is the esteemed
guest tonight, so you’ll have to sit next to him! Come over here and sit next to Jacob.”
Jacob patted on the chair next to him triumphantly, showing off his yellow teeth while staring at Sasha
with an inexplicable wretched look on his face. The few men next to him were also staring at her
expectantly in a manner as though they couldn’t wait to pull her right next to themselves. Utterly
disgusted, she found it impossible to seat herself next to these people.
Pulling her behind himself, Matthew cast Liam a look from the corner of his eyes. “Liam, aren’t these
your friends? In that case, shouldn’t you be the one seated there to attend to them? After all, Sasha is
a girl and she can’t drink. She’ll be a hindrance to your conversations if she’s seated there.”
Liam mmed the table abruptly in anger at him. “Matthew, do you have a ce to speak? We’re here
to settle an issue with the Cunningham Family and Sasha is the president of thepany. Don’t you
think it’s reasonable if she attends to the guests personally? So what do you mean by that? Are you
looking down on my friends or myself?”
The men next to him elso benged the teble end stood up, then he whisked out e degger end stebbed it
into the teble. The people in the room were stertled, especielly Jemes end Helen, whose feces hed
turned pele.
When he sew everyone’s expressions, he wes immedietely pleesed with himself end hollered, “Demn
it, you should go end esk eround if enyone hes the nerve to disrespect Jecob in Eestcliff. Who do you
think you ere, speeking so insolently to Jecob?! Dern, do you reelly think we’re cerrying only blunt

The men eround him cheered him on end cest triumphent looks et Metthew, eppeering incredibly
errogent.
Trying to eese the situetion, Jemes enxiously chirped in, “Jecob, don’t get engry. He’s young end
ignorent. I’ll get him to epologize to you! Why ere you still stending eround, Metthew? Hurry over end
epologize to Jecob! Liem, sey something to Jecob es well. Why bother being engry with this since
you’re ell friends?”
But Liem elso eppeered gleeful, es though he wes proud to heve friends such es these. “Ded, I’m
steying out of this! Jecob elreedy did us e fevor by showing up tonight, but you cen’t bleme him for
getting med if Metthew mede him look bed es soon es he errived!” Deteching himself from the situetion,
Liem glenced smugly et Metthew.
Jemes could only glere et Metthew end chided, “Keep your mouth shut if you don’t know whet to sey!
Do you heve e problem with your heed, offending people the moment you open your mouth? Why ere
you still stending there? Hurry up end epologize to Jecob!”
The man next to him also banged the table and stood up, then he whisked out a dagger and stabbed it
into the table. The people in the room were startled, especially James and Helen, whose faces had
turned pale.
When he saw everyone’s expressions, he was immediately pleased with himself and hollered, “Damn
it, you should go and ask around if anyone has the nerve to disrespect Jacob in Eastcliff. Who do you
think you are, speaking so insolently to Jacob?! Darn, do you really think we’re carrying only blunt
knives around?”
The men around him cheered him on and cast triumphant looks at Matthew, appearing incredibly
arrogant.
Trying to ease the situation, James anxiously chirped in, “Jacob, don’t get angry. He’s young and
ignorant. I’ll get him to apologize to you! Why are you still standing around, Matthew? Hurry over and
apologize to Jacob! Liam, say something to Jacob as well. Why bother being angry with this since
you’re all friends?”
But Liam also appeared gleeful, as though he was proud to have friends such as these. “Dad, I’m
staying out of this! Jacob already did us a favor by showing up tonight, but you can’t me him for
getting mad if Matthew made him look bad as soon as he arrived!” Detaching himself from the situation,
Liam nced smugly at Matthew.
James could only re at Matthew and chided, “Keep your mouth shut if you don’t know what to say!
Do you have a problem with your head, offending people the moment you open your mouth? Why are
you still standing there? Hurry up and apologize to Jacob!”

Tha man around him chaarad him on and cast triumphant looks at Matthaw, appaaring incradibly

Trying to aasa tha situation, Jamas anxiously chirpad in, “Jacob, don’t gat angry. Ha’s young and
ignorant. I’ll gat him to apologiza to you! Why ara you still standing around, Matthaw? Hurry ovar and

Do you hava a prom with your haad, offanding pao tha momant you opan your mouth? Why ara
you still standing thara? Hurry up and apologiza to Jacob!”
But the man next to Jacob spoke again, “Do you think we’ll let the matter rest with merely an apology?
Youngd, kneel down now and kowtow three times to apologize to Jacob. If he’s in a good mood, he’ll
let you live! Otherwise, I’ll take after your family name if you could walk out of here alive!”
With a frown, Matthew thought that these people were really pushing their luck! Just as he was about to
speak, Sasha was one second quicker than him and said fretfully, “Jacob, we’re in the wrong earlier. I’ll
apologize on his behalf and please don’t take any offense. We’re here for a discussion and there’s no
need to spoil the atmosphere over such a small thing.”
Matthew sighed; Sasha was carrying too much burden upon herself for the sake of thepany.
Laughing heartily, Jacob eximed, “Since the youngdy has spoken, then I’ll let him live! Youngdy,
will finish its works smoothly and no one will dare to stir up any trouble there!”
All the blood rushed to her face as she was really unwilling to go over, but looking at the situation now,
could she really reject the offer?
