Chapter 492


    As Matthew stared at Grace coldly, he said, “Are you looking for trouble?”


    When Leo saw that something was off, he quickly came to mediate the dispute again. “Matthew, why are


    you so worked up? Grace is just joking. You’re a man; can’t you just take it as a joke? We’re old mates.


    Why are you so angry with herments?”


    The others nodded in agreement. “That’s right. It’s just a joke between us. You don’t have to act like


    that!”


    “No wonder you’re only a janitor. Whichpany would dare to employ a petty man like you?”


    “Listen to me, Matthew. Men shouldn’t be so petty. Or else, even if you’re already a live-in son-inw,


    people would still kick you out!”


    Hahaha…


    Although the crowd looked like they wereforting Matthew, they were actually mocking him.


    They knew the rtionship between Grace and Leo, and so there was no way they wouldn’t help her.


    With a grimace, Ed yelled, “Haven’t you guys had enough? Is this really just joking? How can someone


    insult others like that? Y-You guys are too much!”


    Grace pouted in response. “Huh. He shouldn’t be afraid of other people’sments if he dared to do


    something like that in the first ce. A cleaner who cleans toilets. Look at today’s asion. Is this some


    ce you cane as you please?


    You came here on your own and made a joke out of yourself, yet you don’t let people make jokes?


    What’s the logic behind that? What a ridiculous man you are. Perhaps only your wife could stand


    someone like you! From the looks of it, your wife is probably also garbage just like you…”


    This time, Matthew was utterly worked up. pping the table, he stood up. “Don’t push your luck, Grace!


    I don’t want to get angry with you guys, but that doesn’t mean that you can insult my wife as you please.


    Apologize immediately; otherwise, I’ll never forgive you!”

    Grace was startled. Instantly, her eyes turned scarlet. “W-Who are you trying to scare? Do you think I’m


    afraid of you?”


    Even Leo’s expression turned frozen. “What are you doing, Matthew? We’re ssmates. Why are you


    hitting the table and getting all worked up? And you’re even trying to bully a girl? Don’t you feel


    ashamed?”


    Everyone else stared at Matthew, looking like they were going to hit him immediately if he were to make


    a move.


    ine red at Matthew with a cold grin. She was trying to take this opportunity to get even with him.


    It was at this moment that the door was suddenly pushed ajar. It turned out to be Julian, who walked in


    with a little girl in his arms.


    Instantly, Leo’s expression changed drastically; with a smile, he walked up. “President Davis. You’re


    finally here! Pleasee in and take a seat. Guys, please allow President Davis to have his seat. Oh,


    and also, someone please get a waiter over here! Pleasee in, President Davis.”


    Leo bowed tteringly as he ushered Julian inside.


    Grace and the others also rose to their feet, looking at Julian with ttering expressions.


    ine had even gone up and weed him. “Look at you, Julian. I haven’t seen you in so many years


    and you’ve be more handsome. Who is this cute little girl? Is this your daughter? Aww. How


    adorable. Come; let me hug you.”


    Shrinking into Julian’s embrace, Nicole was too timid to let go of her father.


    With augh, ine said, “She’s so shy! She’s too cute. I think I’m in love with her, Julian. Come on. Let


    me hug you.”


    Burying her head into Julian’s arm, Nicole now refused to look at her anymore.


    “I’m sorry. Nicole is a bit shy,” chuckled Julian.


    However, ine wasn’t feeling embarrassed at all. Covering her mouth, she smiled, “Little girls are


    always like this. Just like how I always thought you were handsome back in school, but I was too shy to


    tell you.”
