Exchanging sinister smiles, Anthony Brown suddenly stepped forward with Robert once the atmosphere was ripe. "Father, I have prepared a special gift for your 70th birthday, for you."As he spoke, Robert Brown carefully presented an odd-looking set of Zisha teaware."Oh? Robert, what kind of gift is this?" someone asked curiously. It looked rather unique.Old Brown and James glanced over with interest while Jason's brows furrowed as he inspected the tea set. Then he shook his head and said, "It's fake!""What?" Susan exclaimed in surprise, but before she could inquire further, Raymond Brown also stepped forward confidently. "Father, I've also prepared a gift for you, even better than Big Brother's." Raymond Brown had a mysterious air despite empty hands."Oh? What is it?" old Brown asked curiously.Raymond Brown exchanged looks with Alexander Brown, who proudly held up a contract. "My gift, Father, is 49% of the shares in my Runhe Medicine Company, unconditionally given to you as cong

Old Brown's expression stiffened as he quickly appeased, "Mr. Flores, forgive the ignorance of our juniors. Please do not take offense."Though he said so, inwardly he was elated. With Mr. Flores' confirmation, what else could be said? The family heirloom was finally complete!Yet Mr. Flores seemed to recall something. After giving the frozen Robert Brown an icy glare, he scoffed, "I disdain quibbling with ignorant youths. But since reputation was mentioned, I have more to say.""That Zisha dinnerware set, 'Good Fortune Beckons' if I'm not mistaken, is indeed an early work. However, I happen to know it was later gifted by Mr. Hughes to a prominent family in Metropolis Central.""Disregarding value, their sentimental ties must run deep. I doubt that family would be so destitute as to sell the dinnerware. In short, the set before us now is fake. The real one remains in Metropolis Central."His shocking words triggered an uproar among the guests. "Fake? How...how can that be?"Old Brown'

These words immediately drew everyone's attention. To their surprise, the one interrupting was Jason.What was this useless fool trying to do now?Anthony Brown brought fake wares, Raymond Brown brought trouble, was the James Brown clan trying to stir up chaos too?Old Brown was already seething, but didn't want to lose face by yelling in front of everyone. Yet now, at the very end, someone dared speak up? Did they think this disastrous celebration wasn't miserable enough?Especially this waste of space that irritated him with a mere glance - now anyone could cause a ruckus?"Shut your mouth, you have no right to speak here! I'll say it again, party's over. James, drag your useless grandson away..." old Brown fumed.Hearing this, James Brown, who had been stunned speechless, snapped back to awareness. The tremendous shocks in this short time were too much to digest.Susan also panicked, hurrying to placate him. Why was Grandpa taking it out on Jason? Uncle and Second Uncle did such aw

Seeing this, the residents were amazed and marveled at what important personage had come to their humble district. Did someone strike it rich or marry well? In all of Emerald City, who could compare to this woman's poise? She must be from Metropolis Central!Just then, James Brown and Mary Martinez were returning home and also witnessed the scene. "What kind of car is that? It must be extremely expensive!" James Brown exclaimed.Mary Martinez scoffed, "Don't be so boorish. Our daughter is the Chairwoman now. We'll have no shortage of luxury cars in the future. I'll be able to wear whatever jewelry I desire without question.""But we have to get rid of that useless Jason quickly. Now that our daughter is Chairwoman, what use is keeping a good-for-nothing like him around?""Some high society ladies I know have agreed to introduce eligible bachelors to Susan. Any one of them would be a hundred times better than Jason! If we want fancy cars and jewelry, we'll have to rely on my wonderful

In the old master's eyes, only results mattered. If not for his eldest grandson's dire plight, would he even have recalled Jason's existence? Were it not so, the old master might not have remembered he had another grandson at all.As the saying goes, nothing surpasses an imperial family's ruthlessness. And the Wesley family was likely far worse...Downstairs, Jason took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, sinking into brooding silence as his mouth twitched, suppressing the urge to curse. Even in the office he had not felt such anger, taxing his composure. His indignation was evident. His rented e-bike...was gone again!"Fu--!" Jason growled, his face darkening as he immediately called a number. After a single ring, Steven Martin's respectful voice responded, "Mr. Gray, your command?""You have one day to haul in every bike thief in the city for interrogation and find out who stole my e-bike. Twice, no less! This is beyond tolerable. I want to know who he is!" Jason grated out.The
