At half-past nine in the middle of the night, the Reston District was silent, and the dilapidated building that was about to be demolished was even colder under the moonlight.
Apart from Olivia, the three members of the Easton family were still awake.
In the living room, Albert and Aleena looked gloomy. Roselyn’s pretty face was pale. Occasionally, she looked up at a small golden Buddha on the dining table, her eyes filled with sadness.
She misjudged! This afternoon, she took out the thirty thousand she had saved to the gold artifact shop with Albert to buy this Longevity Buddha, preparing to give it to Kaleb for a birthday present tomorrow.
However, just now! Kaleb called and scolded Albert. He didn’t even allow him and Aleena to attend his 70th birthday banquet. He wanted to completely break up with this youngest son! He gnashed again and repeated what Jorge had done.
Caused a ruckus in the Wind Dog Training Ground, beat Jason, and hit Marco…
He had offended the Spencer family! “Jorge … caused such a big trouble!” The more Albert thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped the table hard and gritted his teeth! Ever since he was expelled from the Easton family, he had been fantasizing all the time. He hoped that the old man would take back his order and ask his family to return to the family. This 70th birthday was the best opportunity! However, Jorge had returned from the army and created such a big mess, ruining his only chance.
They would never be able to return to the Easton family! “Roselyn.” Aleena looked at Roselyn, who was sitting across from her, and her face tightened, “Your grandson asked you to bring Olivia and Jorge to his birthday banquet. He wanted you to apologize to Jason and Marco.”
“You don’t have to care about anything. Jorge was the one who caused the trouble. If your grandpa wants to blame him, or if the Spencer family wants revenge, ask him to bear the responsibility himself!”
Roselyn’s pretty face turned even paler. She bit her lips tightly and raised her hand to make hand gestures.
“Dad, Mom, Jorge and I…”
The hand gesture had just begun when someone gently knocked on the door of the living room from the outside.
“It’s you.” Albert got up and opened the door. When he saw Jorge standing at the door, he immediately became furious! This bastard!
When he retired from military service, he didn’t do anything useful and caused such a big mess for his family! Neither did he rest at noon or go out to find a job in the afternoon. Then, he disappeared! Roselyn and Olivia waited for him to go home for dinner. They waited until eight o’clock before he came back! Did he love this family in his heart? Did he respect his father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Albert thought, ‘My daughter marrying such a loser wouldn’t be better than marrying a dog. At least a dog knows how to watch the door!’
“Dad, Mom.” Jorge walked into the living room and looked at the little golden Buddha on the table. He suddenly realized something.
He knew it!
They must be discussing the matter of the old man’s birthday banquet tomorrow, and even bought the birthday gift!
“Tomorrow, you and Roselyn, Olivia, will attend the birthday banquet together!” Albert stared at Jorge’s eyes. His fists were clenched and then loosened.
In the end, he turned his head to look at the pale Roselyn and gritted his teeth. “Take this little golden Buddha and plead with your grandpa. I hope he will forgive you!”
“As for the Spencer family…”
“Good luck to you!”
After saying that, he pulled Aleena and returned to the bedroom in a huff! “Roselyn.” Jorge watched his father-in-law and mother-in-law leave before turning to look at Roselyn. He took out the blossom from his pocket and smiled. “I went to Country E at noon. This is…”
Roselyn covered her ears tightly and couldn’t help but cry.
Lying, he was lying again!
“Jorge, you have no future. I accept it! In that car accident, your parents were both dead and you had to marry into the Easton family and became my husband. I accept it! But you joined the army and fought for five years. Can you be more mature? You spent money to rent the cars and proposed to me. You gave me a surprise. I am very touched and grateful.
But those are all superficial! The truth is that you have offended the Spencer family and the Old Master. I can bear it with you! But you have to take out your courage and act like a man. You have to face everything calmly. You can’t escape!
You went to Country E…
Why didn’t you say that you went to outer space? How long are you going to lie to me?”
Jorge was silent for a moment. He slowly put away the blossom and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Kaleb? The Spencer family?
On the birthday tomorrow, just you waited!
…
The next morning, Haitian Hotel in Ocean City.
The luxurious banquet hall on the top floor was bustling with people, and the sounds of congratulations rose and fell, completely igniting the atmosphere! “The Searle family of Ocean City sends a White Jade Longevity Buddha!” At the main entrance of the banquet hall, the Head Butler of the Easton family greeted the guests with a smile and was overjoyed. “Congratulations to the Old Master for being lucky and living longer!”
“Old Madam of the Simpson family wishes the Old Master Easton a long life and presents a Longevity Painting by a contemporary master!”
“The Master of the Roger family sent one Golden Jade sculpture and wished you all the best…”
Kaleb sat in the main seat of the banquet with a smile on his face. His wrinkled old face bloomed like a flower.
There was a cough.
When all the guests had arrived, Kaleb coughed a few times to clear his throat. Then, he pressed his hands down and smiled, “Thank you, my good friends, for coming to my 70th birthday on your busy days!”
“Our Easton family is just a second-rate clan in Ocean City. It is a great honor to be able to receive your support!”
“Thank you, thank you!”
The applauses and cheers broke out, and the guests in the banquet hall cheered and some praised, “Although the Easton family is a second-rate one in Ocean City, we all know that Kaleb is highly respected and has the backing of the Easton Clan in City J. That is a famous super clan in Country D!”
“That’s right! Mr. Easton has such an outstanding granddaughter as Ruth. The Easton Clan will soon rise to the top clan!”
“It is said that Ms. Easton has divorced that trash, Jorge? Mr. Spencer always likes her. I believe that a good thing is about to happen, right?”
“If the Spencer family joins forces with the Easton family, we would be very happy to see this. Congratulations…”
His words seemed to satisfied Kaleb’s heart, and the smile on his face grew wider.
However, for some unknown reason, when he mentioned the Easton Clan, his brows slightly furrowed, but quickly released. The guests present clearly didn’t notice anything unusual.
Ruth and Jason sat beside Kaleb separately. They looked at each other, suddenly covered their mouths and forced a smile. “Grandpa, how important is your 70th birthday! However, it seems that someone is not giving face!”
“Jorge, Roselyn, don’t they know what important day it is today?”
“They dare to look down on you. This is a great disrespect!”
“How do you think they should be punished?”
After Ruth finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
The internal strife of the clan!
Many of the guests there knew what had happened five years ago!
At that time, the Easton family didn’t have a grandson. In order to continue the family, Kaleb had set a rule that Roselyn and Ruth would be looking for a son-in-law at the same time! Whoever could give birth to a grandson would be the future head of the Easton Family and inherit everything! However, in a car accident, Roselyn’s throat was severely injured and she lost her voice. In order to treat his daughter’s injury, Albert had wasted his family’s wealth and committed a great taboo! Later on, Roselyn was framed by Ruth and married Jorge. After an amorous night, she gave birth to her daughter Olivia. Kaleb was cold-blooded and heartless. Under Ruth’s instigation, he expelled the family of four from the Easton Family and declared that he would never meet them again.
Kaleb swept a glance at the main entrance of the banquet hall, his old face gloomy.
Last night, he had made a call and asked Jorge and Roselyn to come to apologize. How many days had passed now? It was almost noon, and the birthday banquet was about to start, but he did not even see their shadows.
It was simply hateful! “Old Master Easton, please calm down.” Jason looked at Kaleb’s face and sneered, “Isn’t it easy to deal with a loser like Jorge?”
“As long as you agree, I am willing to do it for you and send someone to hit their family!”
“Whether to hit them, you have the final say!”
Kaleb cleared his throat and said, “Jorge! As the live-in son-in-law of the Easton Clan, he dares to cause trouble everywhere!”
His expression hardened as he said coldly, “I announce now that the Easton family will be in a line with the Spencer family. As long as you see Jorge, there is no need to be polite. Just…”
“Just what?”
A sudden shout came from the entrance of the banquet hall, interrupting Kaleb.
In the banquet hall, countless gazes turned at the same time, all of them landing on the person.
Jorge was carrying Olivia in his arms and Roselyn in his right hand. He strode through the main entrance of the banquet hall. He walked to the front of the main banquet hall and stared coldly at Kaleb. Then, he glanced at Ruth and Jason. His gaze was like a cold blade.
Killing intent, undisguised killing intent! If Kaleb were not Roselyn’s biological grandfather, he would be dead by now!
“It was you!” Kaleb’s old face stiffened and his face was filled with rage.
It couldn’t be wrong. It was him! The trash who married into the Easton family five years ago, the trash who retired after five years, the trash who caused huge trouble, Jorge Green! “You dare to come?” Jason and Ruth stared at Jorge with disdain in their eyes. They glanced at Roselyn and said in a teasing tone, “What? You dare to challenge the Old Master?”
“Are you tired of living?”
Around them, a large group of guests looked at each other, including Timmy Green’s wife, Vivian Phelps. She sat at a table not far away and sized up Jorge and Roselyn with a stunned expression.
What was going on?
Jorge, this piece of trash, was going to fight with Kaleb?
Did he … want to die?
“Do you want to die?” Kaleb had a vicious gaze as he glared at Jorge and asked, “You asked me just now, what do I want them to do?”
“I will tell you now!”
“Whether in the Spencer Family, or the Easton Family, as long as someone novelxo.com fast updatemeets you the trash, just punish you!”
“Don’t care about the consequences. Even if they kill you, you deserve it!”
Boom!!
Without waiting for Jorge to speak, Roselyn’s mind shook and her face turned pale!
Kaleb flew into a rage.
In Ocean City, the Easton family was only a second-rate family, but the Spencer family was first-rate! With the power of the two families, wouldn’t it be easy to deal with Jorge? And her, her parents, and Olivia…
There were no complete eggs under the broken nest. Jorge, you really made big trouble this time, and even pierced the sky! In a moment of desperation, she flung Jorge’s palm away with all her might and begged Kaleb with a face full of pleading! She screamed hoarsely and made a series of hand gestures in a panic.
Grandpa, I beg you. Please forgive our family, forgive Jorge!
“I apologize to you on behalf of Jorge!” As she spoke, her pretty face couldn’t help but burst into tears as she pretended to kneel down to Kaleb.
However…
“Roselyn, you are not allowed to kneel!” Jorge stretched out his hand and held Roselyn’s delicate body firmly. He looked directly at Kaleb and then looked across the crowd. He said coldly, “Everyone, who do you think is wrong between me and Kaleb?”
“If you think that I am in the wrong, feel free to speak. I am all ears!”
“If you think that Kaleb is in the wrong, please leave quickly so that blood won’t splash and dirty your clothes!”
Everyone froze.
And then, they burst into laughter!
“A son-in-law dares to spout such arrogant words, wanting blood to splash our clothes? Who do you think you are?”
“I didn’t come to this birthday banquet for nothing today. This is an eye-opener. I have seen a mad man!”
“Do you really think that the Spencer family and the Green family are easy to provoke? Talk big. It’s simply ridiculous…”
Roselyn was even more anxious. She tore Jorge’s sleeves and tried her best to speak.
“Jorge, are you crazy? Let go of me, I want to kneel down and apologize to the Old Master.
Otherwise, you will lose your life!” Jorge slowly let out a long breath, his eyes completely determined.
A group of clowns should be laughing enough! “Today is Kaleb’s 70th birthday. I came with my wife and daughter to celebrate his birthday!” He puffed out his chest and said in a deep voice, “If you want to
fight or kill, let’s talk about it later. Before that, at least allow me to give the birthday present!”
“I wish the Old Master Easton a prosperous future. I wish you a fortune!”
“Someone!”
Boom!!
As soon as Jorge’s voice fell, a loud noise suddenly came from the door of the banquet hall.
An eye-catching redwood coffin! The Rosefinch Master wore fiery red battle armor and strode forward. The four Lord Guards carried the coffin on their shoulders and smashed the door of the banquet hall. They followed the Rosefinch Master to the center of the banquet hall and smashed the coffin heavily on the ground. Then, they shouted in unison!
“The birthday gift has arrived. Please accept it, Old Master Easton!
