“So, it’s Young Master Clyde Thompson.”
Looking at the mocking expression on the other party’s face, it was obvious that they meant no good. Kelsey snorted and retorted without showing weakness, “I’m sorry, it’s just that your presence is so low-key.
Among so many people, I haven’t noticed you for a while now.”
“Hehe, you’re a witty one, let’s see how long you can keep jumping around in front of this young master.”
Seeing Kelsey’s tit-for-tat response, the young nobleman named Clyde didn’t get angry. Instead, he unabashedly ogled Kelsey’s curvy figure with a sleazy look, and mocked, “Once my father takes control of this division, you and your former chairman father can get out of Viennas City together.
By then, all you low-ranking side branch members won’t have another chance to turn the tables within the family. It’s so exciting to think about.”
“You despicable bastard! It’s all because you main-branch members have done some disgraceful things behind the scenes!”
Hearing his words, Kelsey clenched her fists and angrily said, “You’re winning without honor!”
“All we’re doing is helping those who still have illusions about you to see the reality.”
With a disdainful smirk, the lascivious expression on Clyde’s pale face grew more pronounced as he continued, “Hehe, but of course, if you can do something to satisfy this young master, perhaps I’ll show mercy and still allow your family to stay in Viennas City.”
“You jerk! Just stop dreaming!”
On the other side, Kelsey’s face darkened, and her phoenix eyes, somewhat similar to Scarlett’s, glared at him while revealing a hint of helplessness.
There was no doubt that he was a main-branch member of the family, with a higher status than her, a side-branch member.
Before this, she could only stand up to him because her father was the chairman.
But if their scheme succeeds, the entire Viennas City would truly have no place in the family for these side-branch members.
Thinking about this, Kelsey clenched her fingers until they turned white, her body trembling slightly with anger.
At the same time, seeing this scene, Leo Ray revealed a thoughtful expression on his face.
Originally, according to the plan, he was going to drive out this main branch from Viennas City first, gain the support of the side branches, lay the foundation, and make it easier for Linda to ascend to the position of family head.
If he could control the Sanders’ family, a powerful and influential noble family within the kingdom, it would be equivalent to grasping the throat of the Coldflame Royal Family.
However, looking at the current situation, as long as he helped Kelsey’s father reclaim the chairman’s position, then it would be easy to achieve his goal of gaining their support.
“I must say, this so-called auction item collection competition is tailor-made for me.”
In doing so, he could both weaken the power of the main branch and win the support of the side branches – it couldn’t be more perfect.
These main-branch members of the Sanders family probably never dreamed that their carefully designed plan would make him the biggest winner.” Just as Leo Ray was somewhat amused, thinking about this,
on the other side, the young nobleman named Clyde, full of pride, shifted his attention to Leo Ray’s group.
At present, since Leo Ray and the others were wearing Illusion Cloaks and dressed like ordinary civilians, naturally, someone of Kelsey’s strength couldn’t see through them.
“Yo, Miss Kelsey, where did you find these shabby fellows? Are you already planning for your new life after leaving the family? Or do you think the Sanders family is a charity?”
Seeing the plain civilian clothes on Leo Ray, Clyde, dressed in high-class noble attire, sneered and continued ridiculing them.
Immediately after, the entourage behind him also burst into laughter.
“Hehe, it seems our domineering Miss Kelsey won’t be able to act so arrogantly in the future.”
“Yeah, yeah. She actually brought in so many villagers from remote areas into our Sanders’ Trading Conference in Viennas City. Are they going to auction off
their ancestral farming tools( It’s so ridiculous, hahana.”
“By the way, who here has some Copper Dragons? If we don’t give some to them, I’d feel bad. Tsk, tsk, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a rustic bunch.”
“Could it be that Miss Kelsey plans to be like those Otherworldly Lords who descended, leading the farmers to cultivate the land and waiting for us to harvest the wealth?”
“If that’s the case, let’s fatten them up first, hahaha.”
As these main-branch entourage members followed Clyde’s lead in mocking and ridiculing, the lavishly decorated hall was filled with more and more onlookers.
Among them, a small part of the side-branch members shook their heads in sighs, their faces helpless.
Most of the main-branch members, however, wore the look of reveling in their misfortune. Some even joined in the scoffing, pointing at Leo Ray and the others in their simple attire.
“Just stop laughing!”
Seeing this, anger was apparent on Kelsey’s beautiful face, as she resolutely pulled Leo Ray a step forward. With an embarrassed tone, she said, “Clyde, don’t underestimate this gentleman.
He’s someone you absolutely should not provoke!”
As soon as Kelsey said this, the noisy hall fell silent.
For a moment, everyone present wore astonished expressions and froze.
However, shortly after, bursts of laughter erupted from the dense crowd, as if Kelsey had just told a huge joke.
At the same time, a slew of disdainful glances fell upon Leo Ray and his companions.
“Lord, these people are too insolent. Should we teach them a lesson?” Seeing this, Taylor frowned and whispered in Leo Ray’s ear.
At the same time, Linda, Mason Banks, Abigail, and Amelia all looked angry.
“In the end, they are nothing but snobs.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray calmly smiled and said, “Just watch, I believe it won’t take long for most of the people here to fall at our feet.”
Not far away, Clyde clutched his stomach and laughed wildly, “Did I hear wrong just now? Our Miss Kelsey actually called a peasant a big shot? It’s enough to make you lose your teeth laughing!”
Having said that, a disdainful Clyde swaggered with his entourage and came in front of Leo Ray, tauntingly saying, “So, ‘big shot,’ are you the savior Kelsey brought?”
“I wouldn’t dare to claim the title of savior, but I can at least open the eyes of a bunch of pathetic frogs at the bottom of a well.”
On the other side, Leo Ray smiled and slowly walked to the center of the venue..
