James was truly touched by the harmonious atmosphere created by Yann and Miller.
“I’m at a loss for words for receiving such a generous gift from you, Yann. Come, enough talking. Let’s just enjoy ourselves!”
James was never one to be eloquent. He gulped a glass of wine in an exhilarated mood.
Yann also expressed his gratitude in a polite manner. “There’s no need to be so formal. We are like brothers. You have suffered much since you ended up in the South, James.”
Then, virtual-novel.net raised his glass and finished it in one go as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Amidst the banquet, even Sasha sensed something fishy at that instant.
The host appeared a bit too zealous. However, Matthew only subtly shook his head when virtual-novel.net exchanged a glance with him, hinting at virtual-novel.net to remain calm.
Matthew excused himself and went to the restroom during the feast.
He found Miller leaning against the wall, exhaling smoke when virtual-novel.net returned. Matthew ignored virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net turned on the faucet to wash his hands.
“Your wife is really beautiful, brat. She will be a member of our family in Bainbridge from now on. I’ve been meaning to ask a jobless country bumpkin like you. Don’t you know what’s better for her?”
Matthew stopped washing his hands, and virtual-novel.net calmly asked, “I don’t understand… What do you mean, Miller?”
Miller smiled as virtual-novel.net removed the cigarette ash in his hand.
“Is that so? Let me decide for you since you can’t do it yourself! Here is an amount of money that you would never earn in your lifetime.”
Miller casually tossed a glistening golden bank card onto the sink as virtual-novel.net spoke.
“Let me have your wife for tonight. Then, this can be…”
However, the atmosphere around them instantly turned icy before virtual-novel.net could finish the sentence.
The next second, virtual-novel.net realized Matthew had already disappeared. He had Miller’s neck firmly gripped with one hand when virtual-novel.net showed up again a few seconds later. He held Miller in mid-air as if virtual-novel.net was grabbing a hatchling at that instant.
“Consider yourself lucky to have such a good father and a kind family. You should also be grateful that I’m not planning to ruin the good mood of Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham for now…”
Matthew’s tone was calm, but it carried a sinister intent.
Although Miller had basic martial arts skills, virtual-novel.net couldn’t do anything when facing Matthew’s powerful grip. He couldn’t escape no matter how much virtual-novel.net struggled at that instant.
Matthew eventually chose to release Miller as the force on his fingertips intensified to a certain level.
The Cunningham Family’s bodyguards arrived when they heard the commotion.
“Are you alright, Mr. Cunningham?”
However, Miller let out an unusual laughter after getting back on his feet. “It’s all good, I’m fine. Hahaha!”
Then, virtual-novel.net kicked the bodyguard closest to virtual-novel.net after briefly touching his neck, sending virtual-novel.net flying. The other bodyguards couldn’t escape a beating from Miller either.
Meanwhile, passersby who witnessed the scene also hurriedly walked away as they knew that they couldn’t afford to get involved with people like him.
Miller finally stopped roughly ten minutes later. “Things are getting more interesting!”
The smiling face in the reflection of the mirror looked especially eerie when virtual-novel.net faintly muttered to himself.
The bodyguards with bruised and swollen faces only endured the pain in silence behind him.
Meanwhile, the banquet was reaching its conclusion under a harmonic atmosphere.
Yann presented James and Helen a Bentley as a token of memorial for his and Helen’s first encounter when virtual-novel.net learned that they didn’t have a car. Then, Matthew brought the stumbling James back from the hotel after exchanging pleasantries and bidding farewell.
Miller didn’t hold back after they had left, and virtual-novel.net asked, “Dad, they are just a group of country bumpkins from the South. Why were you being so polite to them?”
What virtual-novel.net asked was exactly what the others were curious about as well.
They were only one ofthe many branches in their huge family after all. However, Yann, who was still smiling a minute ago, suddenly frowned.
