NovelMegaChapter 2140 Everyone's a Target Before The Birthday Celebration
After Roxanne recovered, her looks and body seemed to have reached the pinnacle of flawlessness. Even Marissa
had praised her openly for her accomplishments in martial arts. She was such a perfect girl. In addition, she was
the main descendant of the Bane Family. So, it was natural that she would attract countless admirers.
However, the men didn't expect Matthew, a country bumpkin, to take their place as their families had just
discussed how they were going to propose to the Bane Family.
So, with that mentality, all the young men from various influential parties glared at Matthew sharply.
Their eyes were filled with envy and dissatisfaction as their gazes grazed on Matthew like knives.
It was as if they thought they could scare him to death if they widened their eyes.
Nonetheless, Matthew was unperturbed by their resentful gazes. He laughed to himself bitterly. | didn't know
Roxanne had such great charm.

"Matthew, I'm gonna go look for Grandma. Can you wait forin the living room?" Once Roxanne said that, she
rushed to leave.
Her family was probably aware of her feelings for Matthew.
Alas, Marissa was displeased by that. So, if Roxanne stayed by Matthew's side throughout the celebration,
Marissa was bound to be angry.
As Roxanne's silhouette disappeared from his vision, Matthew walked toward the direction she pointed out for
him.
Unfortunately, the room was packed full when he arrived. It wasn't hard to guess that most of them were from
influential families judging by the look on their faces while they had their noses in the air. "Oh, my. Isn't this the
Lord of Eastshire, Matthew Larson? How could you not drop by and say hi now that you're in Bainbridge? Come.
Take a seat."
The person who just spoke was Aurelius.
As he finished talking, he stood up and walked to an empty seat.
"Well, isn't this a coincidence, Matthew? This empty seat belongs to Master Levi from the South. Since you're all
acquaintances, I'm sure Master Levi wouldn't mind letting you take his seat." Then, Aurelius pointed at the guest
card before it with the words Master Levi printed on it.
At that moment, Matthew didn't answer him since small tricks like that didn't have real harm besides demeaning
him.
Regrettably, the others weren't planning on letting him off the hook despite his stony silence.
"I disagree, Master Damron. One should know where they can sit based on their status. Is a small Lord like him
worthy enough to sit with us?"
Then, Aurelius acted as if he had an epiphany. "I'm so sorry. | didn't think this through. However, he's a guest. We
can't very well just let him stand." Another person piped in, "Master Damron, there's nothing wrong with that. We
can always ask him to sit there."
Then, that person pointed at the stairs at the door.

Suddenly, the whole room burst out into raucous laughter.
"That's right. Not everyone has the privilege to sit on the stairs of the Bane Family. You should be grateful for this
honor, Matthew." Those people who were against Matthew had planned to propose marriage to the Banes during
Marissa's birthday celebration.
Matthew, the country bumpkin from the South, wasn't worthy to gain Roxanne's hand in marriage.
At that moment, a voice rang from the door.
"All you elders making it hard for a junior? In a banquet no less? | feel ashamed for all of you. Have you all been
reduced to nothing but infants, then?" The faces of the people who laughed at Matthew suddenly turned dark at
those words. They wanted to see who dared to be so haughty.
That man had entered the room and those seated were all shocked to see him.
"Billy Newman, you actually dared to cto Bainbridge?!" a person admonished sharply.
Regardless, although they appeared fierce, they were already shaking in their boots. They were the very picture
of, "all bark but no bite."
