Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 172

A housekeeper?

David's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at them.

Did they just call Hayden a housekeeper? The Sterling family was truly absurd.

"Mr. Schnapp, shall I kick him out?" Morgan immediately spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

He had only planned to simply humiliate Hayden in front of everyone. Who would have thought that this president of the Chamber of Commerce would notice such an insignificant person? Yet, his reaction was so unusual.

"That won't be necessary. Let's take our seats," David said, his expression returning to normal as he looked ahead coldly.

However, he was sneering inwardly. The Sterling family was truly something. He would see how this would play out later.

"Yes. Don't worry about him. Everyone, please sit!" Morgan exhaled in relief and hurried to pull out a chair for David, honoring him with his gesture.

"Alright. Serve the food!" Francis called out loudly, signaling the start of the party.

Soon, every table was laden with exquisite dishes, a luxurious feast that showcased the Sterling family's wealth.

The hall was filled with laughter and lively conversation, glasses clinking as people toasted each other. Yet, many eyes remained fixed on David, hoping for a chance to exchange even a word with him.

Hayden quietly observed the scene, his expression calm and indifferent. He wasn't in a rush. He was simply waiting for the eventual outcome.

At that moment, a figure appeared beside him. It was Julia.

Lily stormed over, her face full of anger. She kept her voice low so as not to disrupt the party, but she couldn't contain her frustration at Hayden's attitude.

"Do you think you can decide whether I eat or not?" Hayden frowned, his expression showing clear displeasure. He didn't like Lily's behavior.

"Who cares about you?" Lily snapped back. Then, turning to Julia, she looked at her with a mixture of pity and exasperation.

"Julia, I told you he's not right in the head, but you insisted on coming over! Look, he not only lectured you but rejected your kindness! Why do you even bother with him?"

Lily's tone was sharp, blending concern with ridicule. She had long wanted to give Hayden a piece of her mind.

"That's enough!" Julia finally interrupted, cutting off the escalating tension.
