Before I’ve even entered the mansion, the insults I’d expected have already started!

 

 

In the blink of an eye, Jonathan’s expression went chilly.

 

The scenes from three years ago played in his mind once more.

 

“What has my dressing got to do with you?” Regarding Ezra coldly, he drawled, “Besides, I don’t think you have the right to decide whoever is allowed to attend the Smith family’s annual party, no? Has Hugo gotten up in years that you’re now the patriarch of the Smith family?”

 

 

 

“What did you just say?” Seeing that he still dared to talk back, Ezra immediately blew a gasket. “How dare you speak to me in such a manner, Jonathan?”

Ezra grew so furious that the red splotches on his face deepened a shade. “Regardless of whether that’s true, so what if I were to insult him in even nastier terms? Isn’t it a fact that he’s a worthless live-in son-in-law? If he hadn’t married into the Smith family,

so livid that steam was coming out of his ears. But just when his words fell, a sharp female voice rang out from the direction of the Smith mansion. “What’s all this commotion? I can hear you all making a racket out there from a few dozen meters away! Why is the lot of you squabbling here on such an occasion today? Are
