You again

The Hemsworth Family are also invited to the Greenfield's banquet. The Qin family might be a low-key family, however, their impact on the business world is quite big. Befriending them won't be a bad thing.

Grandmother Hemsworth, Edward's Mother(Rachael), Edward, and the old Lady last child, Emilia decided to represent the Xie family today.

Dressed in outfits that say nothing but elegance and luxury, the Hemsworth family arrived at the Greenfield mansion. They brought two cars with them: Grandmother Hemsworth and Emilia used one while Edward's Mother and Edward used the other car.

As they got out of the car, Jeff's cab arrived at the same time. Edward was the first to notice Jeff and was instantly surprised to see him.

However, being that tricky boy, he composed himself and put on his façade. He ran towards Jeff, hugging him tightly like a spoilt brat.

"Brother! I missed you so much" Edward hugged Jeff tightly, shedding crocodile tears.

The other Hemsworth members stared in awe, wondering why Jeff was there.

Edward grabbed Jeff's hand, his back facing the Xie members. "What are you doing here, brother? Did Liam invite you? Or are you here to beg him for mercy? I would advise you to go back and think carefully. Don't ruin today for me, for the Hemsworth family."

Jeff smirked, grabbing Edward's other hand. "Let go of my hand while I'm being nice. Or do you want me to break your hand? I think it would be better though. I would rather have my blood wasted than to have it flow in your body."

Edward's gaze darkened and he immediately let go of Jeff's hand. Just as he let go, he grabbed Jeff's other hand, wearing his pretentious expression.

"Grandmother is here, brother. You should greet her and maybe beg her to take you in again. You look so thin!"

He dragged Jeff to the other Hemsworth family, an innocent smile on his face.

"Grandmother! Brother is here to greet you" Edward pulled Jeff's hand.

"What are you doing here?" Rachael asked, her eyes holding some hostility. "If you are here to cause trouble, just know that the Hemsworth family won't be held responsible. You are no longer part of us!"

"Mom!" Edward called, trying to stop his mother from saying further.

However, Grandmother Hemsworth picked up from where Rachael stopped, her wrinkles appearing even more ugly.

"Are you here to take back the envelope you left?" The Old Lady said. "You think the money you left is enough for all we did for you, ungrateful bastard? If you are here to beg me to take you back, you better don't disgrace yourself and leave now!"

Jeff stared at the Old lady, a mocking smile on his lips. His gaze shifts to Edward's hand that was holding his. Yanking Edward's hand away, the latter fell to the floor, an ugly expression appearing on his face.

"You like making assumptions, don't you?" Jeff chuckles mockingly. "Me? Beg to go back to the Hemsworth family? That hell? It seems like you've aged during the three weeks I left. I'm not here for you if you will excuse me."

With that, he walked away from them. He felt contented when he saw the look on their faces. Thinking of something, he turned back and called out to Edward.

"You should stop that childish act, it's getting boring."

Finally, out of their sight, he walked towards the entrance. He was let in without the invitation card as Liam had informed the people outside.

The Greenfields's Mansion is no different than the other rich people's mansion but when Jeff entered, he could feel some sense of tranquility.

The exterior was gentle rather than expensive, it gave off a cool feeling. Jeff immediately felt at ease.

"Jeff!"

He turned around, his eyes meeting with Liam's pair of brown eyes. A smile tugged Jeff's lips as he thought of something.

Liam looked more mature than a year ago. His black hair which was normally let down was styled properly. Maybe the University makes people change.

"Oh my God! You look taller!" Liam exclaims, raising his head to look at Jeff who was one or two heads taller than him.

"And you look taller too but not taller than me" Jeff replied, a small smile still tugging his lips.

Liam and Jeff exchanged a few words before they walked into the venue for the birthday, the grand hall.

"I'm sorry for whatever happened!" Liam apologized, unable to look at Jeff in the face.

He had indeed behaved stupidly for believing that spoilt brat.

If not because of what he witnessed some weeks ago at the bar, he would still hate Jeff now.

At first, he didn't believe an innocent looking boy like Edward would do that. But he clearly saw what transpired at the club and what happened before Jeff arrived.

Liam felt sorry after he found out that Jeff was kicked out of the family and he suddenly realized why Jeff was despised... Jeff doesn't belong to the Hemsworth family.

When Edward badmouthed Jeff then, Liam was really surprised. How could Edward hate his own brother so much to say such words?

But Edward is cunning, he made Liam believe that Jeff is a bad guy.

"Whatever" Jeff replied nonchalantly. "If it was someone else, they would have done the same."

Of course, Jeff understands how Edward can be when he's hellbent on getting what he wants. But he still thinks that Liam is just someone who is easy to fool.

"Take me to your Mother," Jeff said.

The grand hall was full of people from the elite circle, each wearing expensive clothes to show off their wealth. Not all of them are really here to celebrate Mrs. Greenfield's birthday.

Some are here to impress the Greenfield family, some are here to show off their wealth... The elite circle is indeed full of different people.

Jeff didn't take a glance at the people who looked at him curiously.

The cloth he was wearing isn't of high quality but it looked good on him. He looked ordinary to most of them and some people became more curious.

When they realized the young man was the fake son kicked out of the Hemsworth family, many of them began to wonder what was going on.

The news of the Hemsworth family kicking out their fake son whom everyone believed to be the heir of the Hemsworth family was one of the hot topics two weeks ago. But it died down already and no one expected to see the fake son in the Geenfield's party.

Not long after, the Hemsworth family entered the Grand Hall, piquing the curiosity of those present.

Jeff didn't spare anyone a glance, he walked toward Mrs. Greenfield with Liam.

She was talking to some guests and didn't notice the slight commotion in the hall.

"Mother" Liam called softly. "Meet my friend, Jeff."

Mrs. Greenfield turned around, her gaze meeting with Jeff.

"Hello, Jeff" Mrs. Greenfield Said, her eyes gentle like a clear sky on a sunny day.

"Hello, Mrs. Greenfield! Happy birthday," Jeff said pulling out a small box out of his pocket. He hands it over to her, a genuine smile on his lips.

Mrs. Greenfield collected the box from him, shifting his gaze to look at her son who looked surprised as well.

They didn't expect him to bring a gift after all he had passed through. Isn't he very poor now? How could he afford a gift?

"Thank you," Mrs. Greenfield said, opening the small box.

A pair of earrings and a necklace came into view.

"I hope Mrs. Greenfield likes it," Jeff said, gazing calmly at the woman who looked a bit surprised.

Mrs. Greenfield hasn't seen something like the earrings and necklace before. The accessories appeared less expensive unlike the ones in her collections but these gifts looked too beautiful and rare to be ignored.

"Yes, I do! Thank you for the gift" Mrs. Greenfield said.

"I'm glad you li..."

"Isn't that Grandmother's box? Brother, did... did you steal something from us? You should have asked me for money if you need money. Why did you steal grandmother's things?"

Jeff hadn't finished speaking when he heard a disgusting voice behind him.

It was Edward again.
