Chapter 1122
“Ouch!” Evan and Vivian winced at the unexpected slap that caught them off guard. They held their burning cheeks, confused bythe sudden turn of events. They couldn’t understand Christopher’s actions, especially since Dustin was the troublemaker.
The Murray family and their guests were also baffled. No one had expected Christopher to slap someone out of anger on hisspecial day.
“General ... General Murray.” Evan tried to argue. “Did you confuse us with someone else? This punk is causing trouble andshould be dealt with.”
Vivian added, “Yes, General Murray, he even assaulted Mr. Murray last night. He committed a crime and should be punished.”
She believed that Christopher might not know the truth. “Quiet!” Christopher glowered at them. His authoritative voice filled theroom.
He continued, “Dustin saved my granddaughter’s life. He’s the savior of the Murray family and my most esteemed guest. Anymore of this nonsense, and I'll have you removed!” Anxiety set in as Evan and Vivian fell silent.
They knew the grave consequences of being kicked out of the Murray residence. It wasn’t just about the damage to their family’sreputation but also about being shunned by others. No one would risk upsetting the Murrays by associating with Evans andVivian's family.
“Grandpa-”
Sheila was about to interject, but Edgar interrupted her. “Dad, it’s your birthday. Don’t get upset over the little things. Please,calm down.”
Edgar forbade Sheila from speaking any further. He knew explaining the truth to Christopher wouldn’t do any good. Christopher’searlier statement had set the tone, and they had to stick to it. Therefore, his authority was unquestioned in front of the manyguests.
Christopher shot a stern glance at Evan and Vivian and then turned to Dustin. In a commanding tone, he said, “Come with me,kid. Let’s sit at the main table and see who dares to disagree again.”
He led Dustin to the VIP table, where members of the Murray family and their close friends were seated. The casually dressedDustin seemed out of place among them.
Everyone fell silent, for no one dared to go against Christopher. Therefore, they all smiled at Dustin and greeted him politely.novelbin
“Shameless punk. He’s taking advantage of his role as Sheila’s savior to gain sympathy from General Murray. How despicable,”Vivian muttered angrily, gritting her teeth.
She was a member of a distinguished family, but she wasn’t even qualified to sit at the VIP table. It made her wonder why a lowlyinsurance agent was given this privilege.
“Hmph! This is just a temporary moment of glory. Once General Murray learns the truth, Dustin will suffer the consequences!”Evan explained.
He touched his sore cheek, anger flaring in his eyes. He couldn’t take his frustration on Christopher, so he directed it at Dustininstead.“One of these days I’m going to get even with you,” Edgar muttered with a frown. He had believed that Evan and Vivian would be
able to handle Dustin. But Christopher's intervention had spoiled his plans. Although he was unhappy, he couldn’t show it.
After the incident, the atmosphere gradually returned to normal. More guests came and brought gifts to celebrate Christopher’sbirthday.
