Chapter 42


    Chapter 42 Cut Off Your Allowance


    Yoel rushed to Horington Hospital and tossed a suit at Leyton, ordering, “Change ande with me!”


    “I’m recuperating, Dad! Where are you bringing me?” Leyton inquired with bemusement etched on his


    face.


    “To a banquet!” Yoel answered.


    “I don’t want to go. My arm is broken, and I’m now recuperating. Why should I attend some banquet?”


    Leyton instantly lost interest after hearing that.


    He had attended quite a number of banquets, and they involved nothing more than feasting and drinking


    besides singing each other’s praises. Furthermore, he would have to wear a suit that would keep him


    very much ufortable. Hence, he didn’t feel like going.


    “Do you know who’s hosting the banquet this time, you b*stard? It’s Mr. Grange! Everyone who’s


    someone in Horington is attending the banquet! As such, ensure that you make a good impression this


    time! I’ll be handing the businesses of the Scott family to you in the future, and I don’t want you to run


    them to the ground!” Yoel snarled, smacking him upside the head.


    The instant Leyton heard that Walter was hosting the banquet, he didn’t dare utter a single word of


    protest anymore. He hastily changed, but he couldn’t manage with a broken arm.


    “Where is your girlfriend? Where did she go instead of taking care of you here? Call her over and have


    her help you out! I want to see you at mor Hotel at eleven o’clockter. Don’t bete! I’ve still got


    something else to do, so untilter!”


    Yoel left as soon as he had finished speaking.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ncing at the time, Leyton didn’t dare tarry anymore. He gave Sandy a call and ordered her over right


    away.


    At half-past ten in the morning, the entrance of mor Hotel was already cluttered with luxurious cars.


    All the prominent figures from the political and business circles had arrived early, long before the banquet


    would begin.


    They all greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries before entering the hotel with their invitations in


    hand, one after another.


    However, their apanying family members could only wait outside the hotel.


    Walter only invited the head of each family and the leader of each department to the banquet this time


    because he wanted to reduce the number of attendees. He was afraid that Jared would be annoyed if


    there were too many people and it became too noisy.


    Leyton, too, came with an arm in a cast while Sandy supported him at his side. When Sandy saw the


    countless big cheeses there, her excitement was so great that her heart almost pounded out of her


    chest.


    “Stand here and be on your best behavior! Don’t cause any trouble for me as the attendees this time are


    no ordinary people!” Yoel cautioned Leyton.


    “Am I not going in, Dad?”


    Bewilderment was written all over Leyton’s face. Huh? He asked me toe here, yet he’s not allowing


    me to go in?


    “Of course not! Only the heads of each family or leaders of different ranks are invited to the banquet this


    time! What right do you have to enter?” Yoel snapped, ring at him.


    At once, disgruntlement swamped Leyton. “Why did you call me here if I can’t enter? I’m going to burn to


    a crisp outside!”


    Hearing that, Yoel was tempted to kick his idiotic son hard.


    Plenty of people are waiting outside. Is he saying that they’re all fools? This is a once-in-a-lifetime


    opportunity! Making acquaintances can only be beneficial to the development of one’spany. s, all


    he knows to do are eat, drink, and y! He never considers anything else!


    “Mark my words that I’m going to cut off your allowance for half a year if I don’t see you when Ie


    out!” he threatened, afraid that his son would take off at a whim.


    As soon as Leyton heard that his allowance for half a year was at stake, he shuddered in fright and


    nodded fervently. “I won’t be going anywhere! I’ll be waiting right here!”


    Finally, Yoel entered the hotel with peace of mind, leaving Leyton and Sandy to bake in the sun at the


    entrance.


    Right then, Jared and Josephine arrived as well.


    “Wait for me here. I’ll go and make arrangements for us to sneak in through the back entrance,”


    Josephine said to Jared after alighting from the car.


    Jared nodded in acquiescence.


    Josephine then left to make the arrangements while Jared stood there and waited around. Everyone


    there was from the upper echelons of society, so he didn’t know any of them. As such, he could only


    fiddle with his phone.


    Having sharp eyesight, Sandy spotted Jared at once. When she noticed him scrolling through his phone


    with no one paying him the slightest mind, a sneer immediately bloomed on her face.


    “Ley, isn’t that Jared? How’s someone like him worthy of attending the banquet?” she whispered to


    Leyton.
