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
Sebastian opened the door to the room when he saw a burly young man running towards Robert in anger.Not only that, he also analyzed that the situation in this place was actually very chaotic even before he came.He saw a middle-aged man lying unconscious on the floor of the room with a bloodied and battered face.Meanwhile, Robert's condition was actually no worse. His eyes were bruised and blood was flowing from the corner of his lips.It looked like there had been a very fierce fight a few minutes ago!It was too early for Sebastian to determine who was right and wrong in this incident, but he had absolutely no need to think about deciding whose side to take.Sebastian ran even faster towards Robert. His [Time Wrap] was on cooldown after he used it brutally to arrive at this restaurant on time. Thus, Sebastian could only rely on his physical abilities at the moment.Just as the angry burly young man was seconds away from having his fist smash Robert's face, Sebastian surprisingly a
Robert waved his hand and said lightly, "It's just a small wound. When compared to my opponent, my condition doesn't mean anything. I'm quite satisfied after successfully knocking him out."Sebastian could see that although Robert's condition could be said to be quite bad, he did not feel the slightest pain because he was so happy after winning the match.It was the natural adrenaline rush of a man. Robert would probably only feel the pain on his face when he was at home."I will help you heal, Mr. Kate. Please wait a moment."Saying that Sebastian took out some needles from inside his wallet, making Robert frown."Would you like to use those acupuncture needles to treat these external wounds of mine?"Robert's point was obvious. Traditional treatment with acupuncture needles was usually reserved for internal diseases. Moreover, there was no guarantee whatsoever that the illness would be cured instantly.To Robert, traditional treatment with acupuncture needles or cupping almost sound
