Timothy's expression stiffened when he heard that. He smiled awkwardly. "My apologies, Mr. Emerson Senior, but the Bamboo Parlor is already occupied.""Ask them to move out." Itijah sneered, his face full of arrogance.The arrival of the head of the wealthiest family in the capital was akin to a god descending.With his status and position, he had full confidence that no one in this city would dare to challenge his authority, let alone match his stature.However..."I can't do that!" Timothy said directly. A fleeting trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.He respected the Emersons and Itijah.But it didn't mean he would allow himself to be bossed around and dictated by them.They were in his territory, and Edward, who was staying in the Bamboo Parlor, was his close friend.Besides, the Grahams were not inferior to the Emersons."What?"Itijah frowned, his expression suddenly turning cold. "Timothy, is this how you treat your guests?"Timothy sat up straight and locked e

Jacob would never miss the opportunity to get acquainted with the Emersons.Although they weren't as influential as the Campbells, he could improve his chances of advancement."Mr. Emerson Senior, you can rest assured. After today, I'm sure your grandson will willingly return home with you."Of course, Jacob knew why they were invited here.To put it plainly, this banquet served as a showcase for Itijah to demonstrate the extent of his influence and persuade his wayward son to embrace his heritage and return to the fold."I am truly grateful."Itijah calmly expressed his gratitude, yet he didn't sound sincere.In fact, he couldn't be bothered with thanking Jacob.In his eyes, Jacob was nothing more than a pawn under the protection of the Newmans.Suddenly, mocking laughter resounded from outside the door.It captured everyone's attention.Jacob, who had been wearing a confident smile just moments before, froze in disbelief. His eyes widened in shock.Samuel looked astonishe

"Damn it! What a shameless old man!" Austin thought to himself."How dare you?"Itijah trembled with rage. Austin's arrogant remarks hit him like lightning.This meal was supposed to be his stage. It was his opportunity to showcase the power and influence of the Emersons, not to be publicly humiliated by Austin.His face was flushed with anger, and his chest was heaving. Itijah pointed at Timothy. "Do you have any idea who these people are? He is one of the most influential figures in our city!"This guy here is a big shot in the business world!"And he's a luminary in the medical field."…Itijah listed off their impressive credentials through gritted teeth while pointing at them.Consumed by rage, he failed to notice the subtle changes in Timothy and the others' expressions.As the introductions came to an end, Itijah slammed his cane on the ground.He exuded an air of dominance."Where did you get the nerve to act so insolently in front of me on such an occasion?"The E

However, the bodyguards at the door stood firm and blocked Austin's way."Do you have a death wish?"Putting his hands in his pockets, Austin raised an eyebrow.His strong killing intent made the atmosphere turn tense.Aldus stepped forward and pressured the two bodyguards with his towering figure. They grimaced."Move aside!" Aldus roared angrily.The two bodyguards stepped aside simultaneously. Austin smiled and looked back at Itijah. "You may have many people, but they're no match for Aldus alone."His sentence was filled with mockery, sarcasm, and disdain.He didn't come here to succumb to Itijah.Instead, he came to tell Itijah that he wasn't someone to be trifled with or threatened.The best way to treat shameless and domineering individuals was to be even more ruthless and cold-blooded than them.Itijah watched Austin leave with a somber expression, his eyes dark and brooding.Gripping his cane, he trembled slightly. The veins on the back of his hands bulged.He w

The three men were astonished.Then, Austin continued, "It's true that I am Itijah's grandson, but I will never forget the hardships my mother and I endured for the past 20 years. The Emersons were ruthless. Itijah is planning to use us. My mother and I are no longer associated with them."Though his words were gentle, they carried a strong conviction. Edward and the rest looked even more puzzled.Austin had no intention of staying any longer. With a slight smile and a polite farewell, he rose and left.In the living room, Edward and the two exchanged glances.After a while, Edward suddenly blamed Timothy for everything. "Timothy, you are a local authority figure. Don't you know about Austin's past?"Timothy shook his head in confusion. "Though I am a local authority figure, I didn't know Austin was related to the Emersons."Samuel smiled bitterly. "Edward, don't blame Timothy. Wealthy people like you would prefer to keep your identity a secret, right?"Edward chuckled wryly an
