The Wolf’s Bride

Chapter 46

Solomon burst out in laughter when he heard Andrius. “The Crestfalls don’t even qualify joining the guild or deserve to be here, yet you, the son-in-law, dare to speak out so boldly?”

“Very well. I hope you can remember how your attitude and your tone are tonight, Mr. Stormbrew.” Andrius then joined Harry and Luna at the table.

“Oh, I will.” Solomon scornfully glanced at Andrius. He then raised his voice and said, “Son-in-law of the Crestfalls, those are fearless words that you speak.”

“Hahaha!”

“The Crestfalls are not in the guild. They should be grateful for even sitting by the door.”

“The Crestfalls’ son-in-law is best to be a security guard, and sitting at the door is his rightful place.”

The other guests echoed and ridiculed Andrius.

Harry was furious when he heard the mockery. “Andrius, stop talking nonsense! Who gave you permission to speak?”

Solomon had asked them to bring Andrius just so he could insult their family, but Andrius walked right into the obvious trap and

embarrassed not just himself but also the Crestfalls.

Harry hated Solomon and also resented Andrius. If his son-in-law were some powerful and influential figure, he would not have to endure the insults from Solomon.

Luna was upset as well. She glared at Andrius and said, “Shut up and just stay put.”

Andrius was rendered speechless. He had not said anything wrong. Aside from his true identity as the Wolf King, saving Alfred’s life alone would be more than enough for the man to treat him as a VIP guest.

However, he did not want to argue with the father and daughter, so he simply zipped his mouth shut and sipped on his cup of tea.

Around ten minutes later, Alfred arrived with a group of men surrounding him.

As he entered the banquet hall, the large crowd swarmed to greet him and somehow blocked his view of the entrance, causing him to miss Andrius at the table by the entrance.

Harry and Luna tried to approach him but could not even get near due to the tumultuous crowd. Disappointed, they returned to their table at the entrance.

Harry sighed. “I guess we can only meet Master Hempton when he goes around to the tables.”

Alfred entered the hall with a massive crowd around him.

Those who were able to secure a seat inside the hall were influential and wealthy businessmen in Sumeria, and their statuses fueled their confidence and arrogance. However, they all lowered themselves in front of Alfred, the deputy minister of finance.

With thunderous applause in the background, Solomon invited Alfred to the main seat.

After Alfred sat down, he asked, “Are the Crestfalls from New Moon Corporation here?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Solomon was surprised by the question. He did not know why Alfred would ask about the Crestfalls. Nevertheless, he answered honestly,” They are present.”

Alfred scanned across all three tables in the inner hall but did not see

Andrius anywhere. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Where are they sitting?”

Solomon cunningly said, “Master Hempton, the Crestfalls are not

qualified to join the guild yet. They were never invited to past annual dinners, but things are a little special this year, so I arranged for them to sit at the entrance at a shorter and smaller table.”

“What?! You moron!” Alfred bellowed strongly.

He had announced that he would help the Crestfalls because their son

-in-law had saved him, yet before he could even do anything, the Crestfalls were already insulted. It was indirectly disregarding his words and an offense to him.

Alfred slammed the table and bellowed in a commanding manner, Bring the Crestfalls in at once!”

“Huh?” Solomon was confused.

Alfred continued shouting, “If they are not in here, I will leave Sumeria immediately.”

Everyone in the inner hall was stunned.

No one knew why the deputy minister, who was known for his good temper, would suddenly lash out at Solomon.

What did the Crestfalls do to charm him?

“Master Hempton, please calm down. I will bring them in immediately.”

As though he were a child who had made a mistake in front of his parents, Solomon apologized before he headed to the entrance.

Both Harry and Luna were drowning in their embarrassment at the entrance. Despite representing the Crestfalls, they were seated at a shorter table at the entrance.

If news got out, the Crestfalls’ reputation and face would be tarnished.
