Chapter 57 A Big Short's Prisoner

• Although Leonard was very firm in his attitude, Kenia did not dare to go up and slap Emily. Although Kenia knew that Leonard had a good relationship with Waylon, the host of the banquet, but that was all. But Emily’s husband was the son of the chairman of Loftus Group and had a lot of influence in Newden City. Waylon let them come to the dinner party because he felt good about Leonard. So if Leonard caused trouble, Waylon would not be happy either and might even blame him. “Leonard, I think we should just forget it.” Kenia hesitated and pulled his sleeve. But at this moment, Emily next to them couldn’t stand it anymore. “Hit me? Leonard, you are really something. I’m so afraid. You better explain the situation to me today. Otherwise, it won’t be easy for you to leave this banquet hall.” As Emily spoke, people around them began to talk. “Who is this country bumpkin? How could he be so arrogant and say he wants to hit Mrs. Loftus? He is truly ignorant of life and death.” “Who is Mrs. Loftus? She is the wife of the young master of Loftus Group, and she works at Fox Bank. She knows many important people.” “Don’t even think about hitting Mrs. Loftus. Even if he lays a finger on her, the consequences are not something he can handle.” “Today’s dinner party is hosted by Mr. Lambert. He actually dares to cause trouble here. I’m afraid that he doesn’t know how dangerous it will be.” “I heard that the Loftus family has just established a relationship with Governor’s Mansion.
• If Mr. Loftus uses its power, Leonard may not be able to get away unscathed.” Everyone looked at Leonard mockingly. They looked at Leonard as if they were looking at a poor guy. Leonard saw that Kenia was afraid to act, so he looked at Emily coldly and said, “If she doesn’t want to hit you, you can slap yourself ten times in the face. Let’s forget this matter, and I won’t pursue your false accusations against us.” Emily’s eyes were full of sarcasm as she replied, “Leonard, have you lost your mind? How dare you ask me to slap myself ten times? Who do you think you are?” “I want to ask you, are you threatening me? “How come? Hasn’t three years in prison taught you anything? “Think carefully about the hardships you endured in prison, and decide what kind of words you should be saying out of your mouth. “Now, I’ll give you a chance. If you kneel down and lick my shoes, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, today’s business is not finished yet.” Hearing Emily’s threat, Kenia couldn’t help but feel scared. She whispered, “Leonard, forget it. We ordinary people can’t afford to offend these big wigs. Let’s go. Can’t we just sk ip the dinner party?” But Leonard shook his head and said, “That won’t work. She hasn’t paid her price yet, and we were personally invited here by Waylon. If anyone has to leave, it would be them, not us.”
• “Haha!” Hearing this, someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud. · “Did I hear that right? Did he say he was an honored guest invited by Mr. Lambert? He might have misunderstood the meaning of the phrase ‘honored guest,’ right?” “How could he be the guest of Mr. Lambert?” “I think he isn’t even qualified to be a chew toy for Mr. Lambert’s dog.” “Where did this hillbilly come from? Does he have a delusional disorder? Mr. Lambert doesn’t even know him.” “Hahaha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard. They’re living in their own imaginary world and haven’t woken up yet.” “Listening to someone like him talk really lowers my intelligence. Let the security guards get rid of him quickly.” Kenia smiled wryly. It was true that they were invited by Waylon, but didn’t they beg him for a spot? They were certainly not honored guests. Emily curled her lip in disdain and said, “Mr. Lambert invited you to be a distinguished guest? You’re quite good at putting on airs. When Mr. Lambert comes later, I’ll ask him.” Leonard’s expression had turned cold. “Emily, you are really stubborn. Since you refuse to slap yourself ten times, I will have to do it myself.” As he spoke, Leonard rolled up his sleeves directly. Emily did not flinch at such a scene. She yelled loudly, “What? Do you want to hit me?
