At the scene of the banquet of the Floyd family, Azalea and Meadow waited for about half an hour in the hall before Michael appeared.
Azalea felt relieved when she saw Michael, and it was time for Meadow to carry out her plan. Azalea would have to play her part well after that, and her smile deepened when she thought about what would happen next.
Meadow hurried over when she saw Michael. “You’re finally here!”
“How can I not come?” Michael sneered.
“I did that for your own good, so you’d better not be ungrateful. I told you to come here earlier, but you’re so late. Azalea won’t say anything about you, but Callum is different. You should go and greet him first.”
“I know, so you don’t have to worry about me!” Michael didn’t want to say a word to Meadow. He walked up to Callum and said, “Mr. Floyd! I’m sorry that I’m late!”
“You’re here! Welcome!” Callum was a little surprised that Michael came.
Michael and William were like sworn brothers, so wasn’t Michael supposed to be at William’s party at this time? What did this sudden visit mean?
He was confused, but Meadow immediately came over. “I’m sorry, Mr. Floyd, Michael is late because he was busy with something!”
“It’s okay, I understand that Michael has a lot of things to do!” Callum smiled and took a glass of wine from the waiter next to him and handed it to Michael.
They clinked their glasses and chatted for a while. Then, Azalea came over and greeted Michael, “Hi Michael!”
Michael was revolted when he saw Azalea. However, he didn’t embarrass her in public because he had to uphold his etiquette, so he answered faintly.
Meadow knew Michael well, so she knew that he would not cause trouble for outsiders. She immediately said with a smile, “Michael, today is Azalea’s big day. Don’t forget to congratulate her.”
Michael’s expression was cold. “Isn’t it enough to have your blessing?”
“How can it be? You promised Azalea that you would come over to celebrate for her, but you arrived so late. Hurry up and make it up to Azalea!”
Michael’s face darkened and he finally couldn’t bear it anymore. “I came to this party because I received Mr. Floyd’s invitation. Does it have anything to do with Miss Clark? Why should I give her an apology? Mom, have you drunk too much? What is she to me? Why should I make it up to her?”
Michael directly asked in front of Callum, which made Azalea extremely embarrassed. At this moment, Meadow was appalled as she did not expect Michael to act out of line.
She thought that Michael would deal with it patiently and have a drink with Azalea, but she did not expect that he was already furious because he was forced to come over.
He directly embarrassed Azalea in front of Callum, which immediately made Meadow furious. Since Callum was Azalea’s father, how could he let Michael humiliate Azalea like this? What should she do in the future?
She glared at Michael and said, “Tsk, don’t crack jokes here. Those that don’t know about your relationship with Azalea willl think badly about you.”
She looked at Callum ingratiatingly after she said that, “Mr. Floyd, please don’t take what Michael said seriously. He has always been close with Azalea and he has always been like this. I know that he’s a bit disrespectful, but he said it because they’re friends.”
Azalea did not expect Michael to say that to her, and her face stiffened. After Meadow tried to ease the situation, she forced a smile and said, “Yes, we often joke like this. Mr. Floyd, don’t mind it!”
Angel stood aside and looked on coldly. She was shocked by Azalea and Meadow’s ability to tell lies.
If she were to be ridiculed like this, she would have already tried to find a place to hide. How Azalea could still laugh in this situation?
Azalea was very good at evaluating the situation. Since Callum wanted Angel to be close to Azalea, she raised her glass to Azalea at this moment. “Miss Clark! Why don’t we have a drink?”
Seeing that Angel took the initiative to raise her glass, Azalea thought that Angel was trying to help her smooth things over. She was extremely flattered and immediately raised her glass to toast Angel.
Michael knew that Angel was not a good-for-nothing as well. When he saw Angel trying to ease the situation, he did not hesitate to leave. “Mr. Floyd, I saw one of my friends there. I’ll go over and say hello. Excuse me!”
Callum was not a fool, and he had been observing the situation while Azalea and Michael were talking.
Azalea looked at Michael with affection, but he looked at her with cold hatred in his eyes. Michael wasn’t close to her at all, so how could he possibly be joking around?
He was experienced in these matters since he had once hated Veronica, so he could be sure that Michael absolutely despised Azalea.
When Callum heard Meadow’s words, he understood that Michael didn’t want to attend the Floyd family’s banquet at all. Perhaps Meadow had used some means to force him to come.
He had been forced by Fandrey and Deborah like this before, so he was very sympathetic to Michael and immediately nodded. “Michael, please go ahead!”
After Michael greeted Callum, he strode to the corner of the hall and Meadow explained awkwardly when he left, “Mr. Floyd, I’m sorry you had to see that. Michael had to deal with something today and he’s in a bad mood. Please don’t mind his lack of manners!”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind!” Callum didn’t like Meadow and he had no time to deal with her. “Mrs. Davis, I’m leaving!”
Meadow was not in the mood to keep up her act after Callum left, so she had to find Michael to carry out her plan immediately. Meadow winked at Azalea and smiled. “I’ll talk to Mrs. Bailey. Ms. Floyd, Azalea, excuse me!”
“Mrs. Davis, please go ahead!” Angel knew what Meadow wanted to do and nodded with a smile as she watched Meadow leave.
Meadow followed Michael to a corner of the hall. It turned out that he didn’t have any acquaintances who wanted to talk to him at all, and he just didn’t want to talk to them any longer. Meadow walked to his side and angrily asked him, “Michael, have you lost your mind? How can you say that?”
“Why can’t I? Mom, I’ve come here according to your request. Just do whatever you want to do, I don’t have the time to chit chat with you here.”
“Why are you acting like this? Don’t you know who I’m doing this for?” Meadow felt that she was doing this for Michael’s sake, and she was upset that he did not understand her efforts.
“I don’t want you to be good to me! Please don’t do anything that will cause trouble to me, alright?”
“How did I raise such an ungrateful son like you?” Meadow was furious. Michael had spoken his mind, so it would definitely be difficult for her to plot against him. It was better if she took a step back for now.
“It’s okay if you don’t want me to intervene in your matters, but you must stay here until the party ends.”
