Chapter 700 Name-dropping
The rich man looked at Henry absurdly.
Yvette also had a contemptuous look on her face. “We haven’t even started drinking, and they’re already starting to brag! Be careful. If your lies get too big, it won’t end well for you.”
The people who had overheard the conversation began to laugh one after the other.
“How can Master Nicholas be related to them?”
“If Master Nicholas is really related to them, I’ll call Timothy my dad.”
“Isn’t it obvious? How could someone as noble as Master Nicholas know someone like this?”
Henry looked at everyone’s disapproving expression and smiled coldly. “What a group of self-righteous fools. The Master Nicholas you keep mentioning is Timothy’s brother-in-law!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
However, Yvette was the first to react and sarcastically said, “Are we just supposed to trust your words? How can someone with his background be related to the Sawyers?”
As she said this, she glanced at Timothy with disdain.
At this time, the rest of the crowd had also returned to their senses. It looked at Henry and Timothy ridiculously, laughing.
“At least get your facts right if you want to lie. Master Nicholas is not married. How can he be someone’s brother-in-law?”
“And if Master Nicholas is really your brother-in-law, why isn’t the Sawyer Group supporting you?”
“How brave of you, name-dropping Master Nicholas like this?”
At this point, Henry was beyond annoyed with how ridiculous these people were. “I’m telling the truth. Don’t regret it later if you don’t believe me.”
However, no one in the room believed his words at all as they laughed at the two of them.
Suddenly, someone yelled, “Hey, isn’t that Master Kieran?”
Hearing this, everyone looked sideways
Everyone turned just in time to see Kieran and his friends walking in.
At this time, Kieran also noticed how Timothy and Henry were surrounded by the crowd and wondered what they were doing there.
The rich guy was clueless about what Kieran was thinking.
The moment the man saw Kieran, an idea sprang into his mind. He smiled at Timothy before maliciously saying, “Since Master Kieran is here. Why don’t I go and ask him to see if Master Nicholas is really your brother-in-law.”
As the man said this, he trotted to Kieran and called out respectfully, “Master Kieran.”
Kieran nodded and turned toward Timothy’s direction, asking, “What’s going on there?”
“Here’s the thing: this guy over there is name-dropping and claiming that Master Nicholas is his brother-in-law. However, we all know that Master Nicholas isn’t married.”
The man briefly explained what happened just now and commended, “Master Kieran, rest assured, we know how to deal with people like these. We won’t let him condemn Master Nicholas like this ever again.”
When Kieran heard this, his face immediately dropped.
Before he could even speak, Yvette came over and said, “Some people are just that shameless. Master Kieran, please don’t take it to heart.”
As she spoke, she looked at Kieran flatteringly.
However, he did not even spare her a glance as he kicked the man with her in the chest.
“Are you guys that ignorant? He has already said that Nicholas is his brother-in-law. So, how dare you yell at him and try to bring him down? Are your lives too easy recently?”
As soon as Kieran said this, everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
“Seeing Master Kieran like this, could it be true that this guy is really Master Nicholas’ brother-in-law?”
“It’s over. We’re doomed. We have just ridiculed Master Nicholas’ brother-in-law.”
“Actually, we didn’t say much. Even if we’re doomed, it won’t hit us first.”
The crowd began to whisper amongst themselves in fear.
Yvette and the wealthy man with him were in shock.
None of them had expected that Timothy would really be related to Nicholas.
This especially stupefied Yvette.
She had always thought that Timothy was just somewhat of a capable cripple. But who would’ve known that he had such an influential backer?!
After Kieran knocked him over, he ignored everyone else. Instead, he looked straight at Timothy, urging, “If you encounter anything unsightly like this in the future, just punch them. Don’t be afraid of causing some trouble. The Sawyer Group will back you up.”
“Okay.” Timothy nodded in response.
Finally, Kieran asked the question plaguing his mind so far, “Why are you here tonight?”
