CHAPTER 114
Thomas seized the moment, realizing he needed to reassess the situation. The other party's intentions were crystal clear-they were here for him. As Thomas listened to the way he spoke, the sarcastic tone was nothing like how he spoke to Robison. It reminded him of someone he didn't like, someone he was starting to genuinely resent. "Just say what you need to say. I can't stand this kind of talk. Who sent you here? Or who told you to come?" Damien scrutinized the man before him, his gaze sharp and filled with an underlying threat. This was someone whose mere presence could shake the very ground beneath everyone around him. Here was a super powerful boss, yet he insisted on playing it so low-key. It was one thing to be humble, but it seemed like someone was taking advantage of him. Damien thought Thomas was being far too patient. He couldn't understand why someone so formidable would let others walk all over him. If he had such impressive power, he should at least make it clear to ev
CHAPTER 113
The old man was quite advanced in age, yet he found himself surrounded by people who only added to his troubles, especially given the family he was in. He had seen his fair share of good things, and jade was indeed precious. Who wouldn't feel heartbroken if it got broken?Now, things had become even more complicated. If that useless brat, Thomas, broke it, at least he could give him a good scolding and be done with it. But if it were Iris, today's birthday celebration would leave him so angry he wouldn't be able to sleep."Hey, where did you come from, you little brat? If you don't know how to speak, just keep quiet! I was just trying to help. Why do you care? I can still touch Uriel’s stuff." Anyone who had spent time with Iris knew that ever since she married a wealthy husband, her nose had practically reached the sky. She often looked down on others, dismissing them completely, and now she was acting all flustered. Everyone knew what was going on. Thomas looked at Iris and realized
CHAPTER 112
Labels like "crazy," "loser," and "penniless" were all tags that had been slapped onto Thomas, and there was no changing that. They only sought pleasure from stepping on him. Thomas chose not to reveal his identity, giving them the chance to show their ugly faces. Watching their despicable expressions, he couldn't help but observe them with a mix of cold detachment and mockery. Robison and his cousins were all too eager to flaunt their wealth and status, each one trying to outdo the other. Their tones were nauseating, lacking any sense of decorum, yet they were quick to criticize others for their supposed lack of refinement. Thomas could easily slap them back with a few words, but he wasn't in the mood for that just yet."This box took me time to find," Thomas said, emphasizing the last few words. "It's an old piece, so it can't possibly be as pristine as a new item. It may look good on the outside, but it lacks the depth that comes with age." At eighty years old, he still had a fiery
CHAPTER 111
"Where did you buy this?" The old man didn't want to ask, but his shock was undeniable. Even if it wasn't real, it was a perfect imitation. The way it shimmered and changed with the light was remarkable craftsmanship. It was worth asking about such a skilled artisan. Robison turned around in disbelief at his grandfather’s words, but there was no hint of a joke on the old man's face. He was at a loss for words and could only glare at Thomas, clearly waiting for an explanation, as if to say, "If you can't explain, you'll have to face the consequences." The atmosphere around them fell silent. Thomas remained indifferent under the gazes of the crowd, unfazed by these sycophants who were quick to flatter and criticize. Once the old man spoke, Robison fell silent, and the others dared not utter a word, all waiting for one person to break the tension. "A friend gave it to me. She said you would all love it. She called it the Heart of the Ocean, but I'm not sure about the details," Thomas
CHAPTER 110
Today is Grandpa’s birthday, and although every year it feels more like a grand celebration, the tradition remains intact-everyone is eager to show off their gifts and see who can outdo the others. The old man looked around at the crowd, anxious not to miss out on anything. The younger members of the Yang family were practically pushing each other aside, completely forgetting about the pastgrievances."Grandpa, come look at mine! I put in a lot of effort for this. It's a rare piece! Just look at the size of this one; it's perfect for boosting your health!" Roberson exclaimed, eager to be the center of attention. At this moment, he wanted to shine the brightest. As he displayed the piece, gasps of admiration filled the room. While deer antlers weren't exactly rare, the size of this one certainly was impressive. Mrs. Solara observed the commotion, glancing at the reactions around her. She couldn't help but think about Thomas, who had just embarrassed himself in front of everyone. That
CHAPTER 109
The old man looked at Thomas withdissatisfaction and said, "Thomas, if you don't want me to have a good time, then my family won't let you have it easy either. You're here to celebrate my birthday, not to make me angry. If you have any conscience left, you should just get out of here quickly and stop making me shout."Thomas felt a jolt from the old man's words, his back still tingling as if it had gone numb. But instead of feeling intimidated, he cracked a grin and casually replied, "Grandpa, I genuinely came to celebrate your birthday. But look at how the family is treating me! How can you defend your grandson in front of so many people? Is it just because I'm yourson-in-law and I’m not wealthy? What about Ava? Isn't she your granddaughter?" Thomas' barrage of questions stunned the old man for a moment, and he turned to look at Ava. Ava’s eyes were slightly red, filled with unshed tears, her expression so pitiful it seemed she could break down at any moment. She had some grease s
