Lucy was totally stupefied, but Matthew had dragged virtual-novel.net into the room. Not only that, but virtual-novel.net even led virtual-novel.net to the seat of honor and let virtual-novel.net sit next to virtual-novel.net this time.
At the sight of the scene, the heads of the nine families greeted Lucy one after another.
Lucy was worried as virtual-novel.net sat at the table, at a loss for what to do. ‘How are we supposed to deal with it when President Abbott arrives later on?’
Leaning over to Matthew, virtual-novel.net whispered, “S-Stop it, Matthew. Our boss has strong backing, virtual-novel.net has many large projects all over the country and owns billions worth of assets. Not only that, but he‘s very powerful, with connections both in the government and in the underworld. Y-You’ll suffer a great deal if you fight virtual-novel.net head-on like this…”
Matthew merely smiled without saying a word.
Reclining in his chair, the crown prince chimed in with a curl of his lips, “He’s powerful and has connections both in the government and in the underworld, huh? Hmph! Let virtual-novel.net show me what sort of connections virtual-novel.net has, then! Hey, listen up, you guys! Whoever comes in later on other than the waiters has to f*cking speak to me on their knees! Got it?”
The few bodyguards at the door immediately replied with a nod, “Yes, Prince!”
Lucy looked very anxious, virtual-novel.net was really worried that things would get messy. However, before virtual-novel.net could say anything, the door to the room was pushed open, and Alyssa strutted inside with Calvin and the others. As soon as they entered, Alyssa pointed at Matthew, saying, “President Abbott, that’s the *sshole. He… Huh? Lucy, why are you here?”
Calvin initially wanted to see who the people in the room were, but virtual-novel.net got angry when virtual-novel.net found Lucy sitting here next to Matthew at this moment.
‘She doesn’t seem like she’s been tricked. Obviously, she’s hooked up with this guy!’
He pointed at Lucy and swore, “You wh*re! I thought you were really tricked. Little did I expect that you’d come here by yourself! What a shameless couple! What else do you have to f*cking say this time?”
Alyssa also came over right away and said furiously, “What are you doing, Lucy? Hurry up and come over! Did this son of a b*tch force you to be with him? Just tell me if there’s anything. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you out!”
Lucy’s face turned crimson. Pushing Alyssa‘s hand away, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and replied, “President Abbott, w-what happened this time has nothing to do with Matthew. However you want to deal with me is my own business. Could you please not involve others in this?”
Calvin darted a disdainful glance at her. “You have no right to bargain with me! Go back now! I’ll sort you out later on!”
Lucy’s face turned red as tears welled up in virtual-novel.net eyes. She knew virtual-novel.net had no say at all in front of these big shots.
A bodyguard standing next to Calvin yelled angrily, “Didn’t you hear our boss telling you to go back?”
Lucy gritted virtual-novel.net teeth, but just as virtual-novel.net was about to stand up, Matthew stretched out his hand and stopped her. “Just ignore him. Like I said, I’m treating you to dinner tonight. Nobody can make you go out of here in my presence!”
Lucy’s eyes reddened, and virtual-novel.net tears gushed forth right away.
Calvin flew into a rage. “F*ck you! You son of a b*tch! What did you say?! I’m giving you a chance to repeat what you just said!”
Matthew knitted his brows. He said coldly, “Watch your language, President Abbott. Don’t get into unnecessary trouble because of just a few words!”
A man standing beside Calvin swore right away, “Shut up! What the f*ck do you think you are to tell President Abbott to watch his language? Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror and see whether you’re f*cking qualified to talk to him? You’re nothing but a piece of trash! Unnecessary trouble, huh? I’m standing right here. Show me what kind of trouble we can get into!”
Those around virtual-novel.net instantly roared with laughter while looking at Matthew with disdain.
Matthew darted a look at them. “You want to know what kind of trouble you can get into? Alright, I’ll grant your wish!”
As soon as virtual-novel.net said that, a few men suddenly burst into the room and forced Calvin and his men to the ground in no time at all.
