CHAPTER 127: UNGRATEFUL

The disharmonious voice attracted everyone's attention.

Humphrey had just saved his face by ordering expensive dishes. However, his good mood was

destroyed by the voice immediately.

“The room was booked by me, and there is no reason for you to take it. We won't change” Humphrey

said daringly with his head bent and staring at the menu.

Although he was not a big figure in H City, he thought he didn’t need to be afraid of anyone with his

personal connections.

After all, except for those who stood high above the masses, ordinary successful persons were no

match for him.

Outside the door stood a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing a pair of gold glasses. His hair was

meticulous. On his fat and round face, the smile that seemed coming from Bodhisattva gradually

disappeared.

Then, the man lifted his round face and looked at Humphrey sneeringly and said, “You can't afford the

price if you don’t change your room.”

Humphrey still bent his head.

At that moment, he must pretend to be very calm. At least, he couldn't lose his bravado.

Looking at Humphrey, Franklin was secretly appreciative of him. Then he said in a low voice,’ Who is

the man making a mess now? He is really annoying”

“It is a strange face, and I can’t recognize it. Perhaps he is a bumpkin. Real big name won't speak in

that way. It is usually upstarts who threaten others like this”

“Upstarts are all barbarians. I have heard that they always clash in a fight for private rooms’

“I think we should change our private room. Otherwise, if we get into trouble due to such a little thing, it

would be meaningless”

The friends and relatives of the Griffiths were nervous. After all, most of upstarts who were based on

mines were really barbarous. It was worthless to be beaten for bravado, after all.

Compared with ordinary people, family members of the Griffiths did achieve some success. But in the

eyes of mine owners who were rolling in money, the people present in the room today were all poor

gays, including Humphrey.

Absolutely, Maximilian was not included.

Marcus was nervous, too. But he didn't want conflict on his birthday.

Furthermore, it was Marcus's birthday party. If conflicts were aroused, it was possible that Marcus

would be blamed.

“Humphrey, I think we..”

Humphrey was looking at the middle-aged man in the doorway with his head tilted. He was happy to

hear the words Marcus said and knew that his opportunity finally came.

“Don't worry, Mr. Marcus. The man was an acquaintance of mine and my father also knows him. I will

talk to him and then he would no longer say anything. Please take it easy”

Looking at Humphrey's clam face, Marcus felt assured suddenly. All in all, that was Marcus's birthday

party and it was the best not to change the private room.

“Well, Ok, it is up to you, Humphrey” Marcus said with his hand slightly patting Humphrey's shoulder, as

if he was making some implications.

Catching sight of all these interactions, Maximilian said or did nothing, just like an outsider.

Franklin could not help but whisper, “Look at the gap. A windfall means nothing at all, and someone just

wimps out in critical moment like a silent fart”

“You can usually see one's heart clearly at critical moment. Those who are silent at the last minute

cannot be reliable. So, girls should sharpen their eyes when choosing their husbands,’ Iris said sourly.

Reassured by Humphrey's words, those people started to be bold again, thinking that it was a piece of

cake for Humphrey to settle the problem.

Laura looked at Humphrey with joyful eyes and thought that Humphrey who was able to save her face

was a thousand times better than Maximilian sitting silently opposite to her.

Humphrey was also very complacent. The more the Griffiths despised Maximilian, the more pleased he

would be.

Humphrey stood up and strengthened his suit. Then he walked to the doorway and said with his face

piled with smile, “Uncle Fletcher, I’m Humphrey. And my father is Theodore. I have visited you along

with my father”

“Hmm..”

Fletcher thought for a moment and simpered, “Ah, it’s you! Then you ought to change your room right

now.”

Humphrey froze for an instant. He didn’t expect that he had greeted Fletcher in the name of his father,

but Fletcher still turned his back on him.

Iris and Franklin got angry. They had just lost their faces because of Maximilian’s Jade Dragon and

were supported by Humphrey's words, but they could not hold their anger any longer and snapped at

Fletcher in the doorway since Fletcher had made no concessions.

“Fletcher, you should be kind. Humphrey is polite enough to talk to you in a gentle tone, which shows

his respect for you. You should give it up”

“Someone just has no self-awareness. You give him an inch and he'll take an ell. Does he really think

Humphrey can be picked on? He should know that Humphrey is a big shot and cannot be offended”

“Go away right now, or we will teach you a lesson. Do not do what you have done in the countryside,

and it would not work. Here is Lasdun, where provocation and rudeness are not allowed”

As Franklin and other people became more and more excited, Fletcher's face increasingly turned

angry.

He had never been insulted like this. One year when a super star came to the city for concerts, Fletcher

was attracted and forced her to sleep with him, and that was a piece of cake for him. One month later,

the star’s boss showed up and interceded for him, and he eventually let her go.

Looking at Fletcher's face, Humphrey shed tears silently and regretted that he had not clearly

introduced Fletcher to the Griffiths and that he had been busy pretending to be familiar with Fletcher.

Fletcher was a descent of the Russells.

Although Humphrey's heart was full of bitterness, he still asked kindly, “Uncle Fletcher, there might be

some confusion here. I am here for my family's birthday party. Could you make an exception in my

favor? With your social status and wealth, you can choose any private room in Lasdun as you like.

There is no reason for you to use our room?”

“Stop talking nonsense. It was our..” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Fletcher was interrupted by Iris. She stood up and said loudly, “That's enough. Humphrey has saved

your face, but you are such a jerk. You should be aware that here is Lasdun. If you continue to be so

brash, I will call the security”

Fletcher was puzzled for a moment and then he could not help to laugh.

“It is so interesting. Do you know who I am? This private room was ordered personally by our

chairman”
