CHAPTER 685 MISS HOLMES

Just as Ariella's words fell, the sound of chopsticks rang out.

Lydia and Sharon put down their chopsticks and got up at the same time, their expressions flat.

"Since you won't let my husband take his seat, I will stand with him."

"Same."

Lydia and Sharon said.

Seeing Sharon get up, Solomon's face sank, and with a bang, he slapped the table heavily and angrily.

"Is this your family's way of treating guests?"

"We are guests of Miss Holmes! All of us have come here with congratulations in mind, and you

actually don't give a seat? What, will he eat your Holmes Clan into poverty?"

When Solomon was young, he was known for his fiery temper.

Even though he is now much older and more restrained, he still won't back down in the slightest when

it comes to overdoing it.

There is no doubt that Sharon's rise also drove Solomon.

In an instant, several of the most important families at the birthday party were on their feet, this was a

big stir!

Lorenzo's face instantly turned pale, with an expression that was as if he had eaten a fly.

On the contrary, Leo was standing at the table, the corners of his mouth turned up with a cold smile.

Behind him, Lydia and Sharon stand, followed by Angus, Ariella and Solomon.

Just these few people already account for four of the nine great royal families.

The guests in the audience looked on in awe and disbelief.

If because of Leo alone, all these four royal families are gone, then Lorenzo has personally ruined

Isabel's Coming-of-agen.

"What's going on?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why are they all standing up?"

......

The commotion here also caught the attention of the other core members of the Holmes Clan, who

rushed over, and when they saw Leo and the others all standing up, their faces changed dramatically.

In particular, Keegan's face was unpleasant.

Today was his daughter's coming-of-age and it had to be flawless.

And, he had also received word that their father, the old Commander of Wyverns, would be present.

If this kind of chaos is seen by the old Commander of Wyverns, then the Holmes Clan will be

disgraced!

Lorenzo's teeth gnashed together, and now he understood that this was Leo's revenge.

Leo is simply not the type of person who will not hold back!

On the contrary, his revenge was exasperating.

Lydia was supportive of Leo doing so.

Long has no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "He doesn't want to be seated."

Edwin and Keegan immediately looked at Leo.

Leo laughed: "Is it because I don't want to be seated? Why do I remember that you were the one who

didn't let me take a seat? And you said, let me just stand and eat, or just sit on the floor."

At these words, Edwin was inwardly horrified, he should have followed him there to check it out, but

Lorenzo had actually offended Leo!

Keegan's face was even more ghastly.

It was now completely clear to him that Leo was simply more than just a live-in son-in-law; the Spencer

family, the Newman family and the Bell family were all his powerful supporters!

"Miss Holmes will be coming down soon today, how should this be resolved?"

Leo said with a smile, but his gaze fell on Lorenzo's body.

The others looked at Lorenzo. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

They all know what Leo means.

Just to make Lorenzo bow down, if he didn't, not only would they not attend the banquet, they would

leave immediately.

As long as it is in Valenham, no matter what kind of banquet it is, as long as there is a Valenham royal

family present, it is bound to be a crowd pleaser.

Conversely, without the Valenham royal family, the stars would be dimmed and eclipsed.

These royal families were the heavy hitters for Miss Holmes's coming-of-age, so they could never

leave.

Lorenzo's face was pale and he clenched his teeth as he looked at Leo with a fierce gaze.

If eyes could kill, Leo would have died more than once.

"What is that look? If we're not welcomed, then let's go."

Leo suddenly spoke out and looked at Lorenzo.

Then, taking Lydia's hand, he intended to leave here.

Lydia cooperated by raising her hand, allowing Leo to take it, and the two intended to leave here.

Ariella, Angus and the others looked at each other and left the banquet hall with them.

Seeing this scene, both Edwin and Keegan panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"Mr. Cohen, stay!"

With Leo gone and Ariella and the others gone, the starry night of the birthday party was dimmed.

Keegan even scolded at Lorenzo angrily, "Why don't you apologize to Mr. Cohen?" "If Isabel's birthday

party is messed up, you're the culprit!"

Then, Lorenzo's teeth gnashed.

However, Lorenzo still did not bow his head in apology.

He was the youngest commander-in-chief, how could he possibly apologise to a punk with no status?

Even if he was wrong, he was determined not to apologise!

It's the principle!

However, Leo had already walked far away with Lydia.

The same went for Ariella, Angus, Solomon and others.

Keegan was furious and pushed Lorenzo hard.

"Apologise!"

"Let's see what you do when Grandpa comes out later!"

"......"

Perhaps the pressure was too great that Lorenzo could not bear it himself.

He eventually yelled, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

As the roar fell, Leo eventually stopped in his tracks and looked back at Lorenzo and smiled.

"What's wrong?"

Leo asked with a smile.

Gritting his teeth, Lorenzo said, "I shouldn't have targeted you and driven you away!"

"What else?"

There was another moment of silence from Lorenzo, but he said, "I shouldn't have humiliated you by

making you stand and eat."

Lorenzo's voice trembled terribly; for him, every word he said was a disgrace.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that things were moving in the direction Leo said

they would.

Five years ago Leo was able to overpower him, and five years later he could do it again.

Leo, however, shook his head, "No."

When this statement was made, the crowd was all shocked in their hearts, even Lorenzo looked at Leo

with astonishment.

Leo shook his head, "You're wrong about the position."

Poeple looked at each other.

Leo continued, "The protagonist today, is not you, yet you have put yourself at the centre of it all."

"So shut up, you don't get to talk here."

When Leo finished, he took Lydia back to his seat.

Ariella and the others, too, followed and went back.

Seeing this, Edwin, Keegan and the others were relieved.

In any case, it is for the best that they did not leave.

Lorenzo stood alone outside the banquet hall without anyone calling out to him.

The flat voice of Leo still echoed in his ears, and every word was like a heavy hammer that struck hard

on his heart.

His expression twisted so much, it just wouldn't change back to its normal state.

Today was his sister's coming-of-age and he was the one who organised everything for the banquet.

It was natural for him to do such a thing.

He was born to be the protagonist, but Leo's words shattered his pride mercilessly.

"The birthday girl is here!"

Someone shouted, but the atmosphere of the party was pushed to the top.

At once all eyes were turned towards the second floor of the villa.

Leo and Sharon also looked up, and Lydia found that Leo and Sharon were looking with gentleness in

their eyes, like they were expecting an old friend they hadn't seen for a long time.

Everyone heard a clear and pleasant sound of high heels stepping on the ground, followed by a girl in

white, which appeared in full view.

It was a young girl, not even twenty years old, dressed in a snow-white dress with a few diamonds set

above the hem, noble and elegant.

On her feet was a pair of white high heels, nicely complemented her already tall figure.

She is the birthday girl, Isabel, who has just come of age.

Although Isabel is only eighteen, her posture is already no worse than some adult women.

In contrast, there was also a rare touch of youth and rebellion that instantly appealed to some of the

young men present.

That's why some families bring some juniors over. Perhaps, if two young people see eye to eye, it will

lead to a good marriage.

Even some of the women, who could not help but make envious noises, sighed that it was so nice to be

eighteen.

Seeing his daughter so beautiful, Keegan couldn't help but be flushed, clearing his throat and saying

aloud.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to be able to attend Isabel's Coming-of-age,

please, make sure you eat and drink well!"

Keegan was also at this time well suited and well built.

Beside him, there was a beautiful young woman in a cheongsam, who should be Isabel's mother.

"Miss Holmes used to look like a boy, but I never thought she'd turn out so pretty."

Angus whispered beside Leo.

Leo smiled and did not say anything.

At this point, a birthday cake, three or four metres high, was wheeled up.

The birthday song was also sung and the crowd followed in unison.

"Happy birthday, Isabel!"

"Thanks!"

Isabel bowed in gratitude.

Keegan said with a smile to Isabel, "Isabel, it's time to share the birthday cake with everyone."

Isabel took the cake and cut it, slicing off several pieces of cake and distributing them to each table.

Each person expressed their thanks and when the cake was delivered to Leo's table, Leo smiled and

congratulated her.

"Isabel, happy birthday."

However, instead of saying thank you naturally, Isabel froze for a moment, staring blankly at Leo and

Sharon.

The two smiled at Isabel.

After a long time, Isabel was suddenly filled with surprise and exclaimed in excitement.

"You are ...... Leo? And Sharon!"
