Kingston forced out a smile.
"Stop acting like we are close friends!" Adam wasn't giving Kingston
any respect. "Weren't the Langfords full of themselves just minutes ago?
Come on, show me how arrogant you can be!"
When Kingston heard that, his expression darkened. If it had been
someone else who humiliated him today, he would have flipped his lid long
ago. However, he just couldn't afford to offend the man standing in front
of him.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you all high and mighty just
now? You even had the guts to bully my friend!" Adam pointed at them and
hauled them over the coals.
Kingston and Luis dropped their heads, falling into silence.
At the sight of that, the guests were stunned. Who would have
expected that there would be a day when Kingston from the Langford family
would be chewed out publicly and dared not talk back?
It was indeed shocking.
"What are you waiting for? Kneel down and apologize to my friend
now!" Adam shouted.
"This…" Kingston frowned, his expression gloomy
As the direct descendants of the Langfords, how could they possibly
get down on their knees for
someone else?
If outsiders knew about it, their reputation would be tarnished.
"Adam, you shouldn't go too far!" Luis was slightly bent out of
shape.
Raising his hand, Adam slapped Luis in the face. "Do you think you
can stop me?"
"You" Luis parted his lips. However, before he could say anything, he
received another slap
across his cheek.
"I'll break your legs if you don't apologize today!" Adam was
extremely assertive.
Luis' eyes blazed murderously as he gritted his teeth. Although he
was livid, deep down, he knew that he couldn't afford to mess with such a
powerful man.
"Get on your knees and apologize!" Adam shouted again.
Just as Luis was about to yield to them, a majestic voice floated
across the air. "Adam, don't you think
you are going to the extremes by treating my Langfords like this?"
At the same time, a bearded, burly middle-aged man with an imposing
demeanor walked in.
It was the head of the Langford family, Ethan Langford!
"Uncle Ethan!"
"Ethan!"
When Kingston and Luis saw Ethan, their eyes lit up at once. It was
as if they had found their savior. They couldn't afford to offend Adam
because they had no real power in their hands.
However, Ethan was different. Not only did he have an official
position, but he also possessed great authority, just like Adam. When it
came to seniority, even Adam had to show Ethan to show him a certain
degree of respect.
With Ethan around, it was hard for Adam to take advantage of the
situation.
"Oh, it's Mr. Ethan I didn't know you would be here too." Adam was
quite surprised.
"Today is my nephew's engagement ceremony. As his elder, it's natural
for me to attend," Ethan replied faintly. "Luckily, I came here in time,
or else the Langfords would end up at the mercy of others "
"Mr Ethan, it was them who threw their weights around. I was just
helping you teach them a lesson" Adam faked a smile.
"Hmph! Even if they made a mistake, an outsider like you is in no
position to punish them!" Ethan's gaze was frosty.
"What if I insist on doing so?" Adam arched his brow.
"Well, then we'll have to see if you have the ability to walk your
talk." Ethan waved his hand.
Right then, two white-haired men appeared behind Ethan. One of them
was taller than the other. Just looking at their stance, one could tell
they were unfathomably powerful.
Upon seeing them, even Adam couldn't help but frown.
