Mr. Chandler's mocking remarks were evident, and everyone could sense his displeasure.
A group of parents immediately seized the opportunity to join in, "Mr. Chandler is right. Who are these two parents to look down on anyone? What kind of gift is that?"
"If you can't afford a gift, don't come. It's better not to upset Mr. Chandler."
"I think they came here on purpose to make a scene."
Katie, accused by everyone, blushed, explaining in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I thought this was just a normal birthday banquet and didn't think so much."
"Hmm?"
Ryan's face darkened, and he coldly said, "What do you mean? Are you implying that I am using my child's birthday as an excuse to receive gifts?"
"No, no, Mr. Chandler, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that," Katie hurriedly explained.
