Sebastian didn't wait any longer to meet Robert downstairs."Sebastian, you're dressed nicely. Come on, let's go now before it's too late." Robert became very happy when Sebastian came to him in a neat and quite expensive-looking suit.Appearance-wise, the young man did not disappoint him.However, it was Sebastian's next words that made Robert very disappointed."I'm sorry, Mr. Kate, but I have a very urgent matter. I don't think I can go with you," Sebastian said with a heavy heart.Robert's tone fell as he asked, "What kind of interest is it? Didn't you promise me earlier?""I didn't break your promise, Mr. Kate. I just couldn't leave with you on time." Sebastian tried to explain in the best way he could. "You'll be leaving by helicopter now, while I'll be taking a faster jet after I finish my business. I may arrive late, but I'm sure it won't be more than fifteen minutes after the clubhouse meeting opens."Robert was still disappointed. If his son-in-law arrived late, it would cre
After a forty-five-minute helicopter flight, Robert finally landed on top of The Golden Palace.The restaurant did have a helipad right on its roof, as most of the customers were from the upper class who sometimes visited the restaurant by helicopter.Robert's arrival was already on their schedule, so now a number of waiters in special Diamond Class outfits were waiting for him there."Welcome to The Golden Palace, Mr. Robert. I'm Adam, the head waiter of this restaurant, and I'll be delighted to serve you," said a middle-aged man with professionalism and respect. "Your Diamond room is ready; may I escort you there?"Robert nodded his head, then replied, "Of course, please lead the way."Adam stepped forward, signaling the other servants to carry Robert's luggage. As they made their way to the Diamond room, Adam struck up a skillful conversation."Mr. Robert, we are deeply honored to have you at The Golden Palace. This restaurant has been serving since 1975, and throughout that time,
Kenny couldn't help himself this time. Mr. Qian was a very influential person in the Luxington Clubhouse, all the members had a special respect for him.If he dared to openly oppose Mr. Qian here, he would make numerous enemies among the other clubhouse members.So, Kenny said with a bland laugh, "Mr. Qian, I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously? Hahaha."Andy Qian just shook his head. He knew that Kenny had long held a grudge against Robert after his son's love was flatly rejected by Amanda. In every way, Kenny was eager to push Robert to the bottom.However, since Andy didn't want to spoil the atmosphere any further, he said, "Robert, since you're already here, why don't you escort us to our meeting room?"Robert nodded. "Hop on the VIP elevator, guys. The Diamond Class room is on the top floor."All the core members of the clubhouse along with their sons-in-law did not wait any longer to make their way to the VIP elevator.Robert was initially worried that the elevat
Robert cleared his throat once as he said with some embarrassment, "Can I have one more glass? My daughter-in-law will be here any minute, and she's very fond of fine wines."The waiter gave him a look. The wine in his hand right now was not expensive, but cheap wine that didn't even have a brand name. So, giving one more glass to Robert would not cause any loss to this restaurant, even this entire bottle would surely be thrown away in the end.The waiter chose to play a little charade to save the cheap wine from the trash."Mr. Kate, we didn't expect that you would like this wine from The Golden Palace. We feel very honored, and as an expression of our gratitude, this special bottle of wine is now yours."The waiter dutifully handed the bottle of wine in his hand to Robert."You can take this home as a souvenir, Mr. Kate," the waiter continued.Robert felt his hands tremble as he accepted the decanter from the waiter, taking it as a huge stroke of luck for the evening."I only asked
Kenny hollered, "Hey, everyone! Robert just got this awesome bottle of wine from The Golden Palace as a thank-you for conquering those stairs. He's graciously planning to spread the joy and share it with all of us!"Hearing something related to wine and blessings, everyone's attention was drawn to Kenny who was raising Robert's wine bottle high.A second later after realizing what was going on, they cheered happily while picking up their respective glasses.However, it was different for Andy Qian; he sensed something was wrong with this behavior.Andy Qian quickly walked up to Robert and inquired, "Were you really planning to share this wine with everyone, Robert?"Before Robert could respond, Kenny interjected, "Absolutely, Mr. Qian. Robert has a deep affection for this clubhouse, and he's more than happy to share some of this wine with us. Otherwise, perhaps he wasn't truly committed to being a member at Luxington Clubhouse!"Andy didn't care, he kept his eyes on Robert and demanded
Andy Qian, the clubhouse's venerable and respected elder, took charge of the event with his trademark charisma. Standing before the guests, he lifted his glass and offered a toast to Robert Kate as the evening's host."Let's express our gratitude to Robert Kate, who diligently secured the finest room at The Golden Palace. His unwavering commitment to the club is truly commendable," Andy declared with a tone of pride.Robert, despite his earlier humiliation, smiled and nodded in response to the award. However, Andy didn't stop there. He continued, explaining the essence of the evening's event."On this exceptional evening, let's take a moment to introduce our esteemed sons-in-law. Each of them has achieved remarkable success in their respective fields, and we believe that fostering collaboration will only deepen the connections among our fellow Luxington Clubhouse members."Andy beckoned to three of the club's finest to introduce their sons-in-law. First, Magnus, a successful businessm
This scene brought out the tension in the air, and it was as if time had stopped for a moment. Robert, who had reached the limit of his patience, no longer wanted to be mistreated. He growled and, with an unexpected burst of energy, pushed Kenny hard enough that the man hit the table and fell with a thud.Kenny, embarrassed and angry, got up quickly and looked at Robert with burning eyes. Without a word, he threw a fist straight into Robert's face. The punch hit its mark, sending Robert staggering back a few steps. By then, Kenny was already preparing to strike again.Robert, however, was better prepared this time. With surprising speed, he shifted his feet to the side to avoid the oncoming punch. Without waiting for time, Robert delivered a powerful counter-punch. The punch slammed into Kenny's nose, causing a cracking sound and an immediate flood of blood.Kenny was shaken by the force of the blow, and as he tried to control himself, Robert stepped forward with a stern demeanor. "Th
Sebastian felt the weight on his chest grows heavier. Before leaving the room, he chose to pause and face The Lady and his brothers."With all due respect, Mom, Charles, Ramiel, Jonathan," Sebastian gently expressed, "I want to extend my heartfelt apologies. It's crucial to understand that despite my return, my memory remains a work in progress. The only insights I possess about our family stem from this historical record, leaving me with a sense of a daunting gap that I'm striving to bridge.""I truly appreciate your acceptance and support. However, I hope you can empathize with the fact that this is a personal journey for me. I commit to diligently uncovering my lost memories and sharing them when the time is right. Once more, thank you for your understanding," he conveyed, bowing his head as a gesture of respect.The warm gazes of his brothers and the surprised expressions of The Lady filled the room. Despite the awkwardness, however, the initially tense atmosphere softened. At lea
