"Is that true? Those two are a complete disgrace to our family," Gwen sneered, rolling her eyes."I wonder why you still care about Samuel," Preston, Gwen's husband, spoke to Scott. He was a great businessman from another city.Scott could only smile to cover his annoyance. It was supposed to be a happy day for him, but Samuel ruined his mood."As a father, I can't just throw my son away. Who knows, Samuel could be successful one day like his two brothers," Scott said, trying to appear wise.As his words sounded impossible to Thomas, he burst out laughing. "Dad, Tiny Treats is still far from the company I lead. There's no way Samuel can catch up to my wealth.""Exactly. Our companies both provide the most sales for West Crop," Roy added. He backed Thomas up to boost his status in the family."You must know Elara went to war three years ago," Olivia said. "Turns out she liked a common soldier there. She should have married a man like Nathaniel to raise her status!"While people were sn

Olivia stepped on Brandon's foot to warn her brother. "Why don't you focus on the party? We're about to release the balloons to open the party," she suggested."Don't boss me around. I'm just going to do what I want," Brandon moved a little away from Olivia so his sister would stop bothering him.He never went against his family unless it concerned his dream of becoming a member of an evil organization.Thus, Olivia and her parents were confused by Brandon trying to get Elara's attention. They could not read what was going through his mind."Has your brother been like this since he came back?" Emily asked in a whisper.Olivia shook her head firmly. "As you know, he helped me to fight Elara. I don't know why his attitude suddenly changed.""I think Elara is doing something sneaky to influence Brandon. It seems that Samuel's family is planning something," Thomas said unhappily.He could not sit still when he learned Samuel was using the gold card. His hand itched to call someone to inve

The Greythorn family was also invited to Scott's party. But since Dalton was busy, he could not attend and said he would send one of his grandchildren.Olivia recalled that Cassian had been with Rosalie at Victory Hills. She was sure he would use her name to convince others about the watch."I don't want you to bring Lady Rosalie's name into this conversation. She's honorable in this town, so you can't drag her in," she said.Nathaniel nodded. "That's right. You can't drag anyone's name in to prove yourself right.""I have the certificate for the watch," Cassian said, handing it to Scott. "This is proof that I bought it from the official shop."Every manufacturer of expensive watches issues certificates to maintain the value and authenticity of their products.Scott read the information on the certificate carefully. He often bought Eternis watches and knew Cassian's certificate was genuine.However, he found it hard to believe since the person who gave him the watch was Cassian. After

Olivia took the wrong step again because Elara's attitude fooled her. Because her cousin had kept quiet, she had misunderstood and thought the problem with the Twilight was solved by someone else.'If only she'd shown some reaction, I wouldn't have ended up like this,' she thought irritably.By blaming others, she felt better. She actually realized that she would still end up badly one day because of her lies.What's done in the dark will come to the light. Everyone believes in this, and so does Olivia. However, she hoped that her lies would be exposed at the right time, not at this moment."Why are you doing nothing? Grandpa already gave you the order!" Hazel reminded Olivia impatiently. She had not anticipated her desire to see her cousin on her knees to be realized today.Olivia bit her lower lip hard. As embarrassed as she was, she had to obey Scott to remain a part of the West family.This was not the first time she had been humiliated because of Elara. Similar things had happened

Some guests did not know about Cassian's rumors, so they became loud. Moreover, war had been a sensitive topic since the Great Commander disappeared.Many speculated that the Commander had been seriously injured after fighting in the war against Narman.Therefore, it was only natural for people to be angry when they heard of soldiers running away from the battlefield. The guests at the party also reacted aggressively to the Cassian rumor."A widowman is fine. I have no problem with that. But a veteran who ran away from the war? What a shame!""Gosh, it must make the Great Commander sad that our country has such a loser!"Nathaniel smiled happily as he made the guests angry at Cassian again. He would not let Cassian leave the party quietly after his girlfriend had been humiliated."Honey, you don't need to expose other people's shame," Olivia said, pretending to sympathize. "Looks like Cassian and Elara ran away together. They weren't invited to the Grand Ceremony by Mr. President."Th
