“Kaze, you bastard! How dare you ask Patrick to break up with Maxine? Who the hell are you to say that?!” “Patrick introduced you to a job, yet you ignored him and tried to convince him to break up with Maxine. How could you be so narrow-minded?!” “You’re living a terrible life but that doesn’t mean others should live the same!” Alex, Adam, and the others criticized Kaze for what he said as it was frustrating. How could he instigate Patrick to break up with Maxine in front of them? It was like pulling a treasure box away from their hands! It was disrespectful to the family! Patrick’s expression darkened. He hugged Maxine tightly and said coldly, “Maxine and I are tight. You don’t need to worry about that. Whatever problem that comes my way, I’ll just deal with it. “The more problems she gets me into, and I solve it, means I am more capable than other men. Only an incompetent man would dislike the woman causing problems for himself.” Maxine hugged Patrick even tighter.

The people looked eager, hoping to get the chance to see a war general in person. Alex was moved by the people’s eagerness. He looked at his son and said, “Hanses, since there’s still time before the feast starts, can you try to invite a war general from the Flying Dragons to join us?” Hanses hesitated but then he bit the bullet and said, “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” He had no confidence in inviting a war general to join their family gathering. After all, he just got through the initial selection and was not an official member of the Flying Dragons yet. He still did not get the chance to meet the war generals, so they might not answer his invitations. However, he did not make his concerns verbal since it was a big day for his family and also him being under the spotlight, he did not want to disappoint. He pulled his phone out and called the captain of the Flying Dragons—Jonas Asterisk. Jonas was the captain in charge of the recruitment and he was known for his hot temper.

Madam Otter’s gentle smile disappeared. However, after another glance at Darcy, and then the others like Patrick and Hanses, she ultimately decided to suppress her anger and simply said, “Mhmm. I see.” She sounded flat, seemingly expressing her disappointment for Kaze. “Mom, I’ll do something about it! I’ll make him go to work! He actually has a job back at Lilyrose! I won’t let him freeload and live off our family!” Agnes said, trying to comfort her mother. Madam Otter simply hummed a reply but it felt colder than usual. She was obviously displeased with her daughter having a useless son-in-law, though she did not want to ruin the mood because of Kaze. “Grandmother, this is my boyfriend, Patrick Weather. He’s from the Weather family and he’s currently helping his cousin, Casius Weather, to run a business. His cousin even gave him a new Rolls Royce for good performance!” Patrick came back from answering a phone call and Maxine brought him to Madam Otter. He took the opp

Darcy and her family were seated at the corner, which upset Agnes. “Why?! Even Agatha and her family are seated in front. Why must we sit at the back here? Darcy is the head of the Quint family branch. Other than the few military personnel, who else here is stronger than you?” Hector sighed. “Agatha and her family are in front because Nelson is the right-hand man of Vanik Clifford of South River Strategic Department. Your brother needs him to entertain the people from the military, so they are in front. “Besides, Kaze said something wrong just now but your mother didn’t lash out at him. She has shown us enough grace already. Just bear with it. It’s just a meal, no big deal.” Ever since Darcy became the head of the Quint family branch, Agnes’ arrogance skyrocketed and she refused to be treated unfairly. However, the Otter family was her birth family after all and she could not just lash out at them. She turned to Kaze with a glare. “It’s all because of you!” “Mom, stop it.

Maxine and Patrick planned this ahead to make Agnes and her family look bad. It explained why they jumped the queue when Agnes and Darcy started lining up. If Agnes and Darcy managed to present the gifts before Maxine and Patrick, they would not have been in such a difficult position. As soon as Darcy’s voice subsided, the emcee said loudly, “Next would be Agnes and her family, presenting gifts to… Huh?” The emcee had a look at the card and was surprised. He thought he got the wrong card. “Uh… Agnes and family have a painting valued at three hundred thousand, fifty-year-old ginseng, and a bracelet from St. Aeris Church.” The entire hall fell into an awkward silence. In order to dissolve the awkwardness, the emcee chuckled and said, “It’s not too bad. The gifts are the same as Maxine and Patrick’s but it’s the thought that matters, right?” His words made the air feel even more awkward. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Darcy and her family, mocking and making fun of th
