He simply sat down. The girls beside virtual-novel.net immediately moved away as they did not want to sit next to him.
A girl came over. She extended virtual-novel.net hand to virtual-novel.net and said, “Return me my business card. The one I gave you just now.”
Felix was extremely angry.
These women had been polite to virtual-novel.net and even flattered virtual-novel.net just now. In the blink of an eye, their attitudes had executed a complete about-face.
Over there, Adrian looked at Thomas and said with a smile, “Susan mentioned you to me when virtual-novel.net came back last time. She talked about how great you were, and how Emma had married virtual-novel.net Mr. Right. Now that I’ve met you today, you’re indeed dignified and well-spoken. Thomas, I really like the gift you gave to my mother. Come, I’ll buy you a drink.”
“Uncle, you flatter me…”
The two had a drink. The more Adrian looked at Thomas, the more virtual-novel.net liked him. He said to Felicia, “Felicia, you have a good son-in-law.”
Felicia smiled happily.
As they were chatting, the atmosphere of the party gradually eased. Everyone forgot all the discomforting events that had happened before. In the whole party, only Felix sat alone at the corner of the wine table and sulked.
During the party, a group of people walked in through the entrance. The person who led the group was wearing sunglasses. He was tall and muscular. Behind virtual-novel.net was a group of people who looked like bodyguards, and all of them were black suits.
Felicia and Adrian exchanged glances when they saw him. They stood up and said with forced smiles, “Irvin, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
The person who came was Irvin Musk, Felicia’s younger brother and Adrian’s elder brother.
He had been doing business abroad all year round. His family had moved abroad a long time ago, and virtual-novel.net rarely returned to the country. He usually did not care about family affairs or even his mother’s health. Recently, virtual-novel.net heard that his mother was seriously ill, so virtual-novel.net purposely flew back from abroad to get a part of the inheritance left by virtual-novel.net once virtual-novel.net died.
Felicia had a good relationship with Adrian, and virtual-novel.net took care of virtual-novel.net mother a lot. Both of them were very dissatisfied with Irvin’s dirty behavior that sought nothing but profit.
But virtual-novel.net was their biological brother, after all. Blood was thicker than water. What else could they do even if they were dissatisfied?
Now that their mother was having virtual-novel.net eightieth birthday, Irvin pretended to be a good son and came to celebrate virtual-novel.net birthday. Felicia and Adrian could not drive virtual-novel.net away, right?
Irvin ignored Felicia and Adrian. He went straight to his mother. He took off his sunglasses and observed the old lady. Finally, virtual-novel.net said with a faint smile, “Oh, Mom seems to be in good health. She doesn’t look like she’s going to die soon.”
“Irvin, what did you say?” Adrian immediately grew infuriated. He grabbed the plate on the table and raised it to hit Irvin.
How inappropriate virtual-novel.net was to say such things on virtual-novel.net eightieth birthday.
Irvin smiled. “I was just kidding, so you don’t have to get excited. Adrian, your bad temper hasn’t changed after so many years. No wonder you haven’t made any money. I guess you have offended everyone, right?”
“Haha, it’s none of your business whether I make money or not.”
Felicia saw that their quarrel was getting intense, so virtual-novel.net acted as a mediator. “All right, you guys, stop quarreling. We’re a family. Come, Irvin, sit beside me. Let’s have a meal together.”
Irvin smiled. He looked left and right, and virtual-novel.net said, “You guys are celebrating mom’s eightieth birthday like this? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Look at the dishes. What the hell are these? Even swine wouldn’t eat this. Felicia, Adrian, aren’t you guys too stingy? Is it appropriate to be this stingy when celebrating Mom’s birthday?”
After Felicia heard his words, virtual-novel.net could not stand it anymore as well.
Adrian even yelled, “Stop talking nonsense! The dishes here cost eight thousand dollars per table, and we hired the top chef in Southland City. You said that I’m stingy? Ask yourself. Who has been taking care of Mom for so many years? Have you paid a penny over these years? Even for today’s celebration, have you ever taken out a penny? Irvin, at least let your conscience take control of your actions, will you? I wouldn’t welcome a shameless jerk like you. Please get out!”
