Chapter 788
The butler couldn't help but add, "She is now the CEO of the Jude family group and is usually very busy."
"Miss Jude..." Laura was a bit confused.
Cassie glanced at Laura with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Your older brother's ex-girlfriend is the Miss of the Jude family."
"I was just kidding; maybe I misread it." Laura twitched her mouth. She believed her brother shouldn't have that ability.
Soon after entering the main hall, they found three people sitting inside.
At the head of the table sat an older man with grey hair and a warm expression, flanked by a handsome middle-aged man and a well-groomed middle-aged woman who bore a resemblance to Michael, unmistakably his parents.
"Hello." Laura and Cassie politely greeted them at the same time.
The butler added quietly, "This is Miss Cassie, who is also Mr. Chapman's daughter. She is a close friend of Laura's and came over because she was concerned about her." Eric nodded in understanding.
Lately, many people in Whisperlyn City's high society had been talking about Cassie, praising her remarkable skills.
After all, being able to become a top global architect at such a young age was not something ordinary people could achieve, and being friends with someone like Cassie indicates that Laura was not too bad either.
The members of the Jude family were all fixed on Laura.
Back home that night, Laura removed her makeup and changed into a very ordinary set of jeans and a T-shirt.
But with a clean face, clear eyes, and a very tender mixed-race face, the members of the Jude family were very satisfied with her.
"Is there something you want to ask me?" Laura felt a bit flustered under their scrutiny. "Let me explain; Michael falsely accused me of plagiarism three years ago, which made it hard for me to remain in the makeup community in Madison. This time, I'm just... getting back at Michael."
Eric said angrily, "Do you think you can easily provoke us from the Jude family? You've completely tarnished Michael's reputation. His mother was arranging marriage prospects for him, but now all those respectable young ladies have turned him down."
"I bet even if you introduce someone for Michael, he won't marry." Laura couldn't help but mutter, thinking, 'Michael only likes that woman, Megan.'
"I don't care, anyway. If you mess with someone from our Jude family, you have to pay the price because you've made our Jude family a laughingstock," Eric angrily said.
Then he slammed the table.
With a stern air, not only did Laura feel uneasy, but Cassie also felt a bit uneasy.
Cassie replied, "Mr. Jude Junior, though I haven't met you, I've heard about your strict family rules for descendants. I thought you were a fair and rational elder, but it seems like you're no different from the other elders in powerful families." James's expression shifted slightly. "Cassie, please watch your tone. Even if your grandfather were here, he wouldn't dare speak to my father disrespectfully."
"I'm just stating the truth," Cassie said, lowering her head. "The issue started because Michael was bullying Laura due to his social status."
Eric felt a bit undignified being accused, but for the main purpose, he reluctantly maintained his authority and said, "Alright, lest you say I'm unreasonable, Laura, do you admit that you ruined Michael's reputation?"
"I admit to that..." Laura nodded vaguely, "but..."
"But if it weren't for Michael, you wouldn't have gone abroad back then, let alone become the world's most talented top formula designer today," Eric interrupted Laura, "It was the shame Michael gave you that made you who you are today."
Laura was stunned. How shameless could this Eric be?
"So according to you, should I thank Michael?" Laura sarcastically retorted.
