As soon as I said that, Johan couldn't hold back and stood up, "Douglas, are you dreaming or what? You're just a freeloader living off a woman and you dare to compare yourself to the entire Mason Group? You're way out of your league!"
I shook my head, looking at him calmly, "I know it's hard to believe right now, but it's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask your boss to try."
Johan raised an eyebrow and let out a sneer, "Fine, let's see then. A guy who doesn't even know his own worth, how dare you act tough in front of me?"
His words didn't make me angry. On the contrary, I stayed perfectly calm, "Sorry, but I'm not like you. When I buy something, I never spend a woman's money."
As soon as I said that, some of the guests who knew me couldn't help whispering again, "Tck, anyone can talk big. If he's so capable, why did he become a live-in son-in-law in the first place?"
"Seriously, Savannah is at least worth over a billion. And what is he? A nobody!"
"Exactly. He's just a clown trying to get attention. Let's not waste our time on him."
I slowly stood up and swept my gaze across the room, "Everyone, hear me out. It's not just that I look down on the Mason Family anymore, I look down on every single one of you sitting here today."
Although I didn't do business directly, at the very least, I knew how to be a decent person.
From the moment I entered the venue until now, these so-called business elites hadn't been discussing charity at all, they were all busy flattering Savannah.
As soon as I said that, I instantly became the target of everyone's attacks. Even the host couldn't stay silent any longer, "Sir, people like you are not welcome at our auction."
I slowly looked up toward the stage, "Oh? What kind of person am I, exactly? Why don't you tell me?"
Before the host could respond, Johan rushed on stage and snatched the microphone, "Douglas, you're just a worthless loser!"
Johan's voice echoed throughout the venue via the speakers. Now, all the business leaders stood up and clapped, expressing their agreement.
Even Savannah, who hadn't spoken for a while, looked at me gleefully, as if enjoying the show.
Seeing all this, I suddenly realized how foolish I had been to agree to help the Mason Family back then.
