Chapter 2828 Enzo's Tea For Apology
Matthew? A waiter?
Enzo was surprised. If Matthew really was a waiter, he would be more than qualified for the job. Besides, he had previously helped strengthen Matthew's influence with the intention of securing a favor. Thankfully, he could now put it to use, but to his dismay, his own son had treated Matthew like a servant and even asked him to pour him tea. This son of mine has ruined all of my efforts.
"Dad, it's him! When I first entered the banquet, I saw him arranging the vase. You should quickly kick this servant out. He's an eyesore." Alfred was trying to show off in front of his friends and let Minerva see how powerful his father was. To achieve this, he raised his voice a few notches, trying to show off to everyone.
However, after he finished speaking, his father gave him a resounding slap. "Shut up, you brat," Enzo scolded.
The sound of the slap echoed in the room. From the red mark on Alfred's face, it was obvious that Enzo had used a lot of force.
Alfred held his cheek, feeling aggrieved. He still had no idea what he had done wrong. Was it wrong to ask his father to remove a servant from the scene? Was it necessary for his father to get so angry? "Come here and apologize to Young Master Larson!" After scolding his son, Enzo grabbed him by the collar and brought him to Matthew. "Young Master Larson, I'm sorry. This ignorant son of mine has offended you," he said before forcing Alfred to bend down. "Now, apologize to Mr. Matthew Larson."
When these words were spoken, the crowd hadn't yet understood what had happened. However, the wealthy dandies changed color instantly. Matthew's reputation was well-known to them. He had blown up the Durham Family's dock, beaten up Solon, captured the captain of an assassination team, killed General Weaver, wiped out the Keller Family, and so on. Any one of these deeds was something they would never dare to do in their lifetime.
In fact, many of them even idolized Matthew, so they wanted to meet this leader of the younger generation at the banquet. However, they hadn't expected to mistake their idol for a waiter. What a farce!
When Alfred learned of Matthew's identity, he trembled with fear. Judging from Matthew's past behavior, the man was not a merciful person. If he got on his bad side, there would definitely be consequences. "Young Master Larson, I'm sorry. I underestimated you. I hope you won't take it to heart."
After he finished speaking, Enzo still wasn't satisfied and was about to make Alfred kneel and apologize.
"Mr. Gavell, there's no need for this. It's just young men fighting for a girl's affections. There's no need to take it so seriously. Besides, I'm not that petty." Matthew didn't really care about this incident. Since an apology had been made, there was no need to dwell on it.
Upon hearing this, Enzo finally let go of Alfred. "Go back. You're good for nothing but capable of causing trouble."
"Mr. Gavell, it's unlike you to act like this. If you have something to say, just say it."
Since his intention had been pointed out, Enzo no longer hesitated. "Bring the tea!"
With his sudden roar, all attention was drawn to him. As for Matthew and the crown prince, they were baffled. What was going on?
Just as everyone was filled with confusion, Enzo knelt on one knee, holding up a cup of tea. "Young Master Larson, I failed to manage my subordinates, which led to the ship hijacking incident. It was my fault. I hope you can forgive me and let this slide!" he said, raising the cup of tea above his head.
What... Most people present felt that this was a bit too much. It was just a ship hijacking incident. This kneeling and apologizing with tea was somewhat too dramatic.
