Silvia raised an eyebrow in amusement and smiled. “You claim that Neil harassed you. Do you have any proof? If you do, go ahead and sue. If you don’t, stop running your mouth here.”
Elaine was so angry that she turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve already contacted a lawyer today. You just have to wait for his notice.”
“Alright. I’ll be waiting.”
“Elaine, get back here! How do you think this makes you look? Don’t make yourself look cheap by quarreling like that!” Mr. Walls called out to her in displeasure.
Elaine took a deep breath and forced a smile. “You’re right, Grandpa. I was just blinded by rage.”
Justus looked up at Silvia and Neil. His tone was a little cold as he said, “Since you won’t admit to harassing my god–granddaughter, please leave. I don’t welcome people like you at my birthday banquet.”
Neil’s expression was apathetic as he said, “If you don’t welcome me, you shouldn’t have invited me in the first place.”
Justus froze before he spoke with hostility, “The servants must’ve forgotten that you’re no longer the president of Remus Corporation. So, they accidentally sent you an invitation. They won’t make the same mistake again.”
He uttered these words with the intent to humiliate. He was obviously saying that Neil was no longer worthy of attending a banquet hosted by the Walls Family.
Silvia immediately let out a cold laugh.
“I finally understand that even a powerful individual can become vulnerable when he’s out of his element!”
Justus was enraged by her statement. He glared at her and said, “Miss Pond, since you’ve degraded yourself to be in this mess with Neil, please leave as well. We do not welcome you!”
Silvia did not say anything else and promptly left with Neil.
Justus scoffed as he faced their backs. One was the ex–president of Remus Corporation and the other was the boss of a ratty fashion company. The Walls Family did not need to care about the likes of them!
All of a sudden, David walked up to him with a smile and said, “I’m good friends with Neil, and I stand by him. It looks like I’ve degraded myself as well, so I’ll leave.”
Justus’s expression changed. Before he could say anything, Henry and Ryan followed David’s lead and left.
He was dumbstruck for a moment. His face suddenly turned unpleasant.
Did he just offend the Cooper Family, the Anderson Family, and the Brooks Family at the same time?
At that thought, his fáce turned green and then white. He was about to ask his servants to call them back, but a deep voice rang out.

“Mr. Walls, Neil is my cousin. It also pains me that he’s done something like this. If I may be so bold, I hope that you can help me persuade Miss York to look away. Perhaps she could be gracious enough to let Neil off the hook.”
Justus looked at him with a hint of surprise.
However, Liam’s words manage to salvage the Walls Family’s reputation. With just a few words, he made those who had just left look like the unreasonable ones. Mr. Justus’s mood soon improved.
“In that case, I’ll find a chance to talk to Elaine. But this also depends on Neil’s attitude. If he keeps behaving this way, we won’t let this go!”
Liam chuckled and said, “Of course.”
The banquet hall started to mingle once again, and many people approached Liam to talk about business collaborations.
He was the current president of Remus Corporation, so plenty of people would obviously try to flatter him.
Liam smiled as he spoke like a gentleman. He felt like a breath of fresh air to those who approached him.
At the end of the banquet, many people praised him and stated how much easier it was to approach him compared to Neil.
Liam was smug. He believed that the crowd would soon forget that Neil used to be the president of Remus Corporation. In the future, he would become Ryoln City’s kingpin!
