Chapter 2140 Everyone''s a Target Before The Birthday Celebration


    After Roxanne recovered, her looks and body seemed to have reached the pinnacle of wlessness.


    Even Marissa had praised her openly for her aplishments in martial arts.


    She was such a perfect girl. In addition, she was the main descendant of the Bane Family. So, it was


    natural that she would attract countless admirers.


    However, the men didn''t expect Matthew, a country bumpkin, to take their ce as their families had


    just discussed how they were going to propose to the Bane Family.


    So, with that mentality, all the young men from various influential parties red at Matthew sharply.


    Their eyes were filled with envy and dissatisfaction as their gazes grazed on Matthew like knives.


    It was as if they thought they could scare him to death if they widened their eyes.


    Nheless, Matthew was unperturbed by their resentful gazes. Heughed to himself bitterly. I didn''t


    know Roxanne had such great charm.


    "Matthew, I''m gonna go look for Grandma. Can you wait for me in the living room?" Once Roxanne said


    that, she rushed to leave.


    Her family was probably aware of her feelings for Matthew.


    s, Marissa was displeased by that. So, if Roxanne stayed by Matthew''s side throughout the


    celebration, Marissa was bound to be angry.


    As Roxanne''s silhouette disappeared from his vision, Matthew walked toward the direction she pointed


    out for him.


    Unfortunately, the room was packed full when he arrived. It wasn''t hard to guess that most of them


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    were from influential families judging by the look on their faces while they had their noses in the air.


    "Oh, my. Isn''t this the Lord of Eastshire, Matthew Larson? How could you not drop by and say hi now


    that you''re in Bainbridge? Come. Take a seat."


    The person who just spoke was Aurelius.


    As he finished talking, he stood up and walked to an empty seat.


    "Well, isn''t this a coincidence, Matthew? This empty seat belongs to Master Levi from the South. Since


    you''re all acquaintances, I''m sure Master Levi wouldn''t mind letting you take his seat."


    Then, Aurelius pointed at the guest card before it with the words Master Levi printed on it.


    At that moment, Matthew didn''t answer him since small tricks like that didn''t have real harm besides


    demeaning him.


    Regrettably, the others weren''t nning on letting him off the hook despite his stony silence.


    "I disagree, Master Damron. One should know where they can sit based on their status. Is a small Lord


    like him worthy enough to sit with us?"


    Then, Aurelius acted as if he had an epiphany. "I''m so sorry. I didn''t think this through. However, he''s a


    guest. We can''t very well just let him stand."


    Another person piped in, "Master Damron, there''s nothing wrong with that. We can always ask him to


    sit there."


    Then, that person pointed at the stairs at the door.


    Suddenly, the whole room burst out into raucousughter.


    Those people who were against Matthew had nned to propose marriage to the Banes during


    Marissa''s birthday celebration.


    Matthew, the country bumpkin from the South, wasn''t worthy to gain Roxanne''s hand in marriage.


    At that moment, a voice rang from the door.


    "All you elders making it hard for a junior? In a banquet no less? I feel ashamed for all of you. Have you


    all been reduced to nothing but infants, then?" Reаd at Draмanоvels


    That man had entered the room and those seated were all shocked to see him.


    "Billy Newman, you actually dared toe to Bainbridge?!" a person admonished sharply.
