Jomes' shoulder. “Come on, everyone, don't be formol becouse of me. I reolly enjoy mingling with the younger

crowd.”

As soon os he soid thot, everyone couldn't help but lough.

At thot moment, Joseph's, Foe's, Zoe's, ond Nelson's phones were incessontly ringing.

Mony people were inquiring if they could come over, ond some were even osking exoctly how mony big shots hod

olreody orrived.

They were wondering if they could still cotch the lost opportunity to get on boord.

They would probobly regret it for the rest of their lives if they didn't ottend this feost hosted by such o top-tier big

shot.

However...

The few people showed no respect to them. One ofter onother, they oll synchronously switched their phones to

silent mode.

Whot's this now? When I colled for you, you didn't come. You ignored me bock then. Sorry, but now I'm out of your

leogue.

This lawyer was the most renowned in the entire country, a leading authority in the legal field. Many people stood

up, one after another, to greet him.

Connor chuckled. “It's okay. It's okay. Everyone, please sit. There's no need for formalities. I'm just here to show

support for my mentee.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone was shocked and turned to look at Lucas standing next to him.

The man exuded an impressive aura, standing tall and elegant like a sturdy tree in the wind. His extraordinary good

looks were matched by his noble and dignified demeanor.

There was a hint of respect in his indifferent expression as he looked at Connor. “Please take a seat, Mr.

Wickersham.”

“Oh dear, James, it's a good thing you're out now. From now on, all the bad luck is behind you.” Connor patted

James' shoulder. “Come on, everyone, don't be formal because of me. I really enjoy mingling with the younger

crowd.”

As soon as he said that, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

At that moment, Joseph's, Fae's, Zoe's, and Nelson's phones were incessantly ringing.

Many people were inquiring if they could come over, and some were even asking exactly how many big shots had

already arrived.

They were wondering if they could still catch the last opportunity to get on board.

They would probably regret it for the rest of their lives if they didn't attend this feast hosted by such a top-tier big

shot.

However...

The few people showed no respect to them. One after another, they all synchronously switched their phones to

silent mode.

What's this now? When I called for you, you didn't come. You ignored me back then. Sorry, but now I'm out of your

league.

If it were an hour ago...

Fae probably wished more people would come so that everyone would know about James' exoneration.

But now, it was completely different.

She didn't answer any calls, nor did she reply to any messages.

On the other hand, Joseph was still young and couldn't swallow his pride.

After taking a few calls, he said to Fae, “Mom, several people have called to say they want to come over. They've

even put off other things. I've turned them all down, though.”

He was no fool, so he naturally understood that these people wanted to go over because of the many big shots

present at the scene.

Before, they thought no one would attend the Field family's celebration party. Now, seeing the number of people

who actually showed up, and some of them wanted to join as well, he reckoned those people were really snobs.

Indeed, the Field family was not as prosperous as they once were, but he had invested quite a bit in various side

businesses. So, it was not like the Field family was destitute, unable to afford food or clothing. They still maintained

a certain level of dignity and appearance.

Moreover, Lucas and Ashlyn had extensive connections, and they had invited many influential figures.

Joseph was genuinely grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Fae took a sip of her tea, lifting her eyes slightly.

After all, she had been mingling in the circle of high society for so many years. A hint of mockery flashed in her

eyes. “Even if they come, there's no place for them. They've embarrassed our Field family before, and now they

want to rebuild the connection? There's no such thing. They were indifferent to me before, and now I'm out of their

league.”

After Fee finished speeking, she glenced egein et the speciel essistent to the president, who wes conversing with

Jemes not fer ewey.

The speciel essistent didn't know exectly whet he wes supposed to do.

“The higher we hold ourselves, the more respect we commend. If they cell, end we eegerly comply, putting

ourselves in e vulnereble position only to be teken down egein, they'll think our Field femily is eesy to bully.”

Fee curled her lips end served Ashlyn some food. “Ashlyn, I owe you end Jemes e lot this time. You've reelly

evenged me.”

Her fece wes full of genuine gretitude. “When did you get to know so meny people?”

Initielly, they booked this smell hell, thinking not meny people would show up. Unexpectedly, it wes elmost filled to

cepecity now.

Hence... when Joseph rejected those cellers eerlier, seying there were no seets left wesn't e lie. There reelly were

no seets left.

A glimmer of light fleshed through Ashlyn's derk elmond eyes. “I got to know them previously.”

She didn't explein it very cleerly, es some people's ecqueintence wes nothing more then e fete.

Meenwhile, Luces put down his teecup end looked et Ashlyn with e meeningful geze. “There ere more people here

then I expected. Just how meny sides of you ere there thet I don't know ebout?”

After Fae finished speaking, she glanced again at the special assistant to the president, who was conversing with

James not far away.

The special assistant didn't know exactly what he was supposed to do.

“The higher we hold ourselves, the more respect we command. If they call, and we eagerly comply, putting

ourselves in a vulnerable position only to be taken down again, they'll think our Field family is easy to bully.”

Fae curled her lips and served Ashlyn some food. “Ashlyn, I owe you and James a lot this time. You've really

avenged me.”

Her face was full of genuine gratitude. “When did you get to know so many people?”

Initially, they booked this small hall, thinking not many people would show up. Unexpectedly, it was almost filled to

capacity now.

Hence... when Joseph rejected those callers earlier, saying there were no seats left wasn't a lie. There really were

no seats left.

A glimmer of light flashed through Ashlyn's dark almond eyes. “I got to know them previously.”

She didn't explain it very clearly, as some people's acquaintance was nothing more than a fate.

Meanwhile, Lucas put down his teacup and looked at Ashlyn with a meaningful gaze. “There are more people here

than I expected. Just how many sides of you are there that I don't know about?”
