Matthew gave his father a cold look and wondered if the old man knew what he was saying. He had just told him to let them leave, but he had insisted. And now he was telling him to call Joel to come and pick them up. What nonsense. Not even in this lifetime would Matthew make such a call. He was already dying inside with jealousy toward his brother. What would he even say to Joel on the phone? He could not even imagine it. Then, he answered the old man courageously. "I'm sorry, Father. If you are really that interested in the birthday celebration, you should be the one to call Joel, not me. He's your son, isn't he? So you should call him." Trent's face fell when Matthew disagreed with him. Of course, he was supposed to take out his phone and call Joel right away, but he felt a bit too disgusted to do so. What he had in mind was to burst onto the birthday scene unexpectedly to make Joel feel awkward for not inviting them earlier. If he had to call him now, it would

The birthday celebration was going smoothly. While Trent and a few other members of the Grey family were holding their wine glasses and having a drink, Matthew was not even managing to keep a smile on his face. It was as if he did not even mind displaying his hatred for Joel and his family. Chloe did not care in the slightest. Of course, she knew what might be running through Matthew's mind at that moment, but fuck him and his thoughts. Meanwhile, Bianca was looking around the hall to see who among the Grey family was present and who was not. Just then, her eyes fell on someone who was trying to hide behind Victoria. Without bothering to figure out who the person was at first, she gave him an inquisitive look and then realized who it really was — Patrick Miles. Bianca was quite surprised to see him at her birthday celebration. Once she recognized him, she understood why he was trying to hide himself in the crowd. In fact, Jason had also seen Patrick. He even tried

They could sense the seriousness on Bianca's face, but it was still difficult for them to believe her words. Nothing changed the question they had in mind - the Jason they knew is broke now, so how could he be capable of doing all that? They were still trying to understand it when Victoria scoffed, as she felt Bianca had something in mind she was trying to push on them. "Are you really throwing your husband's name around now that he does everything for you, so that others who have no husband will feel jealous?" "No." Bianca's brows furrowed as she instantly disagreed with the narrative Victoria was trying to create. However, the latter was not even ready to give up on it as she chuckled darkly. "Of course, you don't have to openly agree with it. But I can see through it." Bianca did not understand what Victoria would gain from the bad narrative she was trying to create. How on earth could she twist her words in such a manner? She wanted to stand up for herself and co

Back at the Grey residence. They all looked furious as they returned home. Some of them were even kicking chairs or whatever was around them to vent their anger. Trent was the last to enter the living room, and even though he was secretly seething over the failure of his plan for Joel and his family, he still could not show it to his children. He knew he had to be on the same page with them now if he did not want to tear his family apart with his own hands. Looking at all the family members and how enraged they were, he could not help but plead with them. "I'm very sorry to you all. It was all my fault." The man took the blame upon himself, but Matthew burst into a serious rage instead. "I told you, Father, that we shouldn't have attended that party. We only ended up enduring a series of embarrassments from that bunch of nobodies!" The rest of the family also turned on Trent. They all vented their anger at the old man, so he did not even know what to do but sit down and

Looking completely unworried, they all sat upright in their seats as they gave Jason a lazy look.They wondered how he had found out about their secret location.It turned out that he must have put in a lot of work to find out their whereabouts.Or, more likely, he must have spent all day secretly following them, which was why he knew their location.They found that quite impressive. He certainly knew how to put in the work.The Fabulous Three all scoffed as they watched Jason approach them.Hugo was the first to speak. "What makes you think you aren't a joker, kid?""Instead of asking me that, why don't you take the time to think about why you are all the jokers?"Jason's answer touched a nerve in Thiago, who responded, "Watch what you say here, kid. You shouldn't misuse the opportunity to walk in here unharmed."Thiago was known to be the most egotistical member of the Fabulous Three. He could never tolerate any disrespect toward his group, let alone toward himself.Jason didn't con
