However, there were so many people present, and each of them was of noble class. Even if he was the
heir of the Lake family, he could not give the middle-aged man a hard time. He could only nod and let
him leave.
Seeing Curtis nod, the middle-aged man got up and left without hesitation.
"Mr. Lake! I suddenly remembered that the gas at my home seemed to be left on. I must hurry back
and check it out!"
"Ah! Yes! I f*cking forgot to pick my daughter up from school! I've got to get my daughter! Mr. Lake, I
gotta go first!"
"Gosh, you all made up excuses pretty quickly! I just got a f* eking call from my friend that my wife is
cheating on me. I have to catch her!"
With the middle-aged man taking the lead, more and more people left in a hurry after giving various
stranger and stranger reasons.
Curtis' expression turned ghastly, understanding what these people were thinking.
The Lake family dominated Ocean City at first, so the crowd naturally tried their best to be friendly with
the Lake family.
Now, there was someone whose power could compare with the Lake family and had even begun to
declare war on the
Lake family and repeatedly humiliated the Lake family. It made those who originally wanted to get on
the Lake family's good graces have different ideas.
The Lake family had always ignored Ocean City's dignitaries because they were powerful.
It had long upset many people, but the Lake family was so powerful that they could only accept it.
Now, Sean and the rest were enough to rival the Lake family. With a new target, why continue to stick
with the Lake family?
Of course, some people did not want to participate in the conflict between the two parties and chose to
be neutral.
"Alright, all the guests are pretty much gone. Winnie, it's time for us to go too."
Titus said with a chuckle.
Winnie nodded slightly and got up to leave with Titus.
Upon reaching the door, Titus suddenly stopped, turned to look at Curtis, and said, "Curtis, I wish your
security company success on behalf of the second and third branches!"
With a sarcastic laugh, Titus and Winnie strode off.
Half of the guests were now gone. Looking at the scattered crowd, Curtis' face was extremely pale.
"Mr. Lake, those who left are all snobs. Don't get mad because of them!"
"That's right. Those of us who stayed behind are staunchly supportive of the Lake family! The Davis
family, the Carver family, and the Quartz family aren't weak, but they're nothing compared to the Lake
family!"
"That's right. Sean Lennon is just a guy from out of town. He only has Optimus Security Services to
show off. These guys can hardly shake the Lake family's status in Ocean City!"
"Old Master Lake just has to make the order, and we'll take on the Davis family, the Quartz family, the
Carver family, and Optimus Security Services!"
Almost all those who remained were those already tied to the Lake family.
They were bound to the Lake family and could not leave.
After hearing everyone's remarks, Curtis looked a little better.novelbin
The dignitaries still here made up at least a third of all Ocean City dignitaries.
The Lake family had many people supporting them, so they did not have to be afraid of Sean and his
gang.
Besides, family rivalry was not a simple war of strength.
"Okay! You're loyal to the Lake family, and I'll inform my father afterward!"
Curtis glanced across everyone and said solemnly.
