Jayson found himself taken aback as Old Wade pulled him over to a chair and motioned for him to sit down. It was clear that his grandfather and relatives were unusually energetic, and he couldn't help but wonder how much money Mrs. Wilson had given them to elicit such a response.Without missing a beat, Old Wade barked at his grandchildren, "What are you all waiting for? Why aren't you properly welcoming the hero of our family?"Jayson's lips twitched at the unexpected title. He realized that money truly had a way of working wonders."Jayson, welcome home," Old Wade's grandchildren chorused one after another.Grey stepped forward, his voice dripping with flattery. "Jayson, all the food is for you. Shall I serve the dish? Do you need any assistance?"Jayson sat there in a daze, not one to turn down a good meal. He began to serve himself, savouring each bite until he was pleasantly stuffed. When he finally finished eating, Old Wade cautiously inquired, "Would you like more? Should I ask

Jayson would have been extremely naive if he had blindly accepted anything Elena said, considering how she had thoroughly deceived him in his past life. He turned around, casting a cold, disdainful glance at Elena, and spoke with a sneer, "Elena, do you honestly believe I'm foolish enough to accept your nonsensical words? Do you think I'm that gullible? I know exactly who the real father of your unborn child is."Elena's eyes widened, and her mouth hung open in shock at Jayson's revelation. She was unable to recover from her astonishment for several seconds. Shaking his head, Jayson made his way into the bathroom. After taking a shower to wash away the sweat from his earlier encounter with the thugs, he emerged to find that Elena had already left.Approaching his closet, Jayson noticed the suit she had purchased for him. He decided to change into it, admiring his reflection in the mirror. "This looks great," he sincerely commended himself. However, a sudden thought crossed his mind,

"Grandpa, my wife is still getting ready; she'll be joining us soon," Jayson responded. Old Wade appeared slightly disappointed, but he didn't voice his discontent.Just then, Mrs. Wilson entered the room. As the matriarch of the Wilson family made her appearance, Jayson couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.The moment Old Wade's eyes fell upon the Wilson family matriarch, they lit up with joy. He eagerly approached her and said with adoration, "Madame Wilson, what a delightful surprise! I've been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to meet you in person. I've heard so much about you. Now I can depart this world content."The Wilson matriarch's face wrinkled with confusion as she gazed at Old Wade. She couldn't recognize him at all. Turning to Elena's mother, she inquired, "Bridget, who might this elderly gentleman be?"Old Wade blushed with embarrassment; he hadn't anticipated that the Wilson family matriarch wouldn't recognize him at all."He is Old Wade, Jayson's grandfather," Bri

Elena's anxiety consumed her, driving her to desperately reach for the microphone in Jayson's hand. Her pleas tumbled out nervously, "Jayson, you can't do this."Her tear-filled eyes pleaded with him, but Jayson swiftly pulled the microphone out of her reach. He turned to face Elena, his response cutting and cold, "Yes, Elena, I can. Don't you want everyone to recognize what an incredible wife you are? Are you ashamed of your actions?"Elena's complexion drained of colour as tears streamed down her face. The pain in her heart was palpable.Unfazed by her anguish, Jayson shifted his attention to the assembled guests. His expression remained stern as he uttered the words, "I am not the father of Elena's unborn child."The guests erupted in disbelief, and Old Wade, his white goatee trembling with anger, thundered, "Nonsense!" Overcome with fury, he lunged forward.Reacting swiftly, Old Wade snatched a nearby microphone and raised his voice, commanding attention. "Everyone, disregard the

Jayson wasn't too surprised because his former self wasn't accepted into the Wade family the moment the Wilson kicked him out; the Wades turned their backs on him immediately.The words from Old Wade left the Wilson family members in a state of shock. Mrs. Wilson's anger surged through her, causing her to tremble as she confronted him. "You despicable old man, do you even realize what you're saying? How dare you claim that Jayson isn't your grandson?"Old Wade stood his ground, his voice filled with resignation. "I speak the truth; Jayson is not a part of the Wade family," he insisted, letting out a rueful sigh.Mrs. Wilson's fury intensified, and she roared with anger, "Are you trying to deceive me? Are you hoping that I won't harm Jayson by threatening your life? You have gravely underestimated me. Bring him out of that cell immediately!"The guard promptly opened the cell door and escorted Old Wade out. As Old Wade emerged from the cell, fear gripped his entire body, causing him to
