This wasn’t the first time that Graecon had seen someone heal from nasty injuries, but they were all very powerful people such as the pureblooded vampires, or those from the three supreme families, or those of the mysterious Wolfe clan and so on.So, Graecon couldn’t help but feel nervous now. “You… are you from the three supreme families?”“Three supreme families?” Ulmer’s expression changed. “That’s new to me. What the hell are those? Mafia families?”Graecon just kept watching, trying to understand if Ulmer was being sarcastic or not. “You really don’t know about the three supreme families?”“Right now, the only thing I want to know about is you, old man,” Ulmer said. “So, why don’t you tell me more about yourself? I have a feeling that you’re one of the 300 Thorns, as your powers are extraordinary. For an old man, your stamina and your aura are pretty daunting. It must be because of the strange powers that are residing in you, and that’s why I think you’re one of the 300 Thorns. D
Ulmer returned home, and things have been cool for a few days. In fact, everyone from the Ross’ family side came and lived in Jamie’s home, which nobody expected, but this was all made possible because of Calvin and Fiona’s insistence.They gave good marks to Ben and insisted their son Ross not to delay his marriage with Amelie. So, Ross Richard had to come to personally check for himself and see if Ben was really as good as his parents claimed him to be.In the past few days, Ross noticed that this house was peaceful, which was something he had not been expecting.He was someone who had been living the busiest life in the sprawling metropolis of Bronich city, where the skyline pierced the wide blue yonder, and the streets filled with the hum of urban life, and the shadows full of dirty and nasty activities without break.So, he did not expect to find a little bit of solace in this small abode of Jamie, and it had little to do with Jamie or his wife, but had more to do with the kind-h
On the day before the engagement, Ross wanted to take everyone to a restaurant. And so he personally invited Mollie in the morning. He thought she would be happy because he told her they would be going to a five-star restaurant.However, Mollie told him she wouldn’t come, which quite surprised him because she looked unhappy.“May I know the reason?” Ross asked her. He treated her just as he would treat his own mother.“I am cooking for everyone at home, so why would you want to go to a restaurant?” Mollie asked him.“Ah…” Ross understood the reason she seemed upset. “It’s not that I don’t like the dishes you make. They are pretty good, but you should also relax every now and then.”“But what they make in hotels is costly but not healthy. Why should we pay a lot of money to eat there?” Mollie asked. “Let’s go to a regular hotel instead of a five-star hotel. At least, this would save money.”“How can we go to a cheap hotel?” Jesscia quickly intervened. “We’re the Richard family. If som
Everyone ordered what they wanted, and it was Ruth who ordered the most items. Ivy told her she shouldn’t order more than she could eat, but Ross and his parents told her it was fine.“We don’t come here every day, so let’s just eat her what she wants,” Ross said.“But don’t eat too many varieties, or your stomach could get upset,” Fiona warned.“Yes, ma’am,” Ruth played dumb, but she believed that they had no idea of what she was capable of. She could eat a lot more than your average girl her age.She couldn’t wait for the items to come.First, starters were brought, which were mostly vegetarian items. Fiona and Calvin didn’t eat too much, but the young ones were quickly devouring everything.Ulmer didn’t hesitate to eat the food, either. After his fight with Graecon, he had stayed dull and frustrated for a few days, and this was the first day where he was on his way to mental recovery as a clone, having accepted the reality that he was just a clone and could never match the origina
In the end, another hair was not found in any of the dishes, so the staff members were relieved.However, the Richard family did not pay them any tips, and they also paid only fifty percent of the bill. If it was any other family, the manager wouldn’t have accepted this, but the Richard family owned a news channel, so the manager wouldn’t have raised his voice even if the Richard family didn’t pay any bill.Ivy showed more affection toward Amelie than anyone else, and nobody really hated that. Even Ruth was fine with it. She was fully satisfied with all the things she ate, and she had no complaints. Though the ‘hair’ part disturbed her a little, it didn’t affect her overall experience much.The same couldn’t be said for Ivy. Even though she was smiling inside, she was seething inside. She thrived on fear and intimidation, which was why she ruled her family so far and put Mollie in her place.But right now, Mollie received more attention from Calvin and Fiona, which was hard for Ivy to
The shopping bill was a whooping 3, 598, 215 dollars.Dresses, jewelry, footwear and makeup kids were all bought without any reservation. Ross didn’t hold back, either, as he wanted to make her daughter happy. Then again, he used his influence to get a thirty percent discount. So he paid close to 2.5 million dollars and gave a tip of 10,000 dollars each to all the workers that helped them with the dress selection. He specifically paid 25,000 dollars to the manager, too. So everyone was happy in the end.Though Ross noticed that Mollie didn’t buy anything, he didn’t ask her about it since he could see that she didn’t have the same smile she had when she was entering the store. Ross was smart enough to understand that something might have happened inside, but he didn’t wish to probe into the affairs of the Jem family too much.Ben came straight to Ulmer and gave him a cover. “I picked a suit for you. A golden necklace, too.”Ulmer was pleasantly surprised. “You didn’t have to do this.”
The night before the engagement day.Ross and his family members had gone to their home to take care of the engagement-related work.Now, only the Jem family was living in Jamie’s house.Ivy openly restricted Mollie to her room and told her to not come out for two days. She even put water and food in the room and locked the door outside.As Ivy was leaving, Ulmer asked her, “How will she go to the bathroom if you lock the door, Aunt?” He had a sharp gaze directed to her, which she didn’t like. “It’s one thing if you tell her to not attend the engagement, but you can’t do this. Please, go and open the door and apologize to her.”“Apologize?” Ivy slapped him without a second thought. “The dress and the gold chain that Ben bought for you… Use them during the wedding, but after the wedding, give them to me. Understand?”Ulmer clenched his fists.Ivy was startled by it. “W-What are you doing? Are you trying to hit me? Y-You think my husband and son will just watch you? They will beat your
The next day.Jamie, Ivy, Ben, and Ruth were waiting outside the house, dressed in pricey outfits. Ruth’s dress was worth eight thousand dollars, and she kept taking selfies repeatedly, showing off the rose pattern embellishment on her attire. Ben’s three-piece green-textured designer suit with a traditional look was worth over sixty thousand dollars.Ulmer came out wearing a black tuxedo enhanced with metallic strips.“Why does his suit look so posh?” Ivy cast an annoyed glance at Ben.“Mm?” Ruth looked at Ulmer. “Oh my, he looks cool. I think you might have a competition at the engagement, Bro.”Ruth’s words only annoyed her mother even more.As if the suit wasn’t enough, Ulmer was also wearing a gold chain which made him look like a rich kid. Ivy didn’t like that Ulmer’s hair was smooth and stylish, whereas her own son’s hair didn’t look as good even though Ivy gave it her personal touch.“How annoying…” Ivy entered the car, slamming the door hard.Jamie was sighing, but his expres
