“Well, well, look who’s here. If it isn’t Aaron and his criminal son-in-law.”
Along with the mockeries, Harry and the others had arrived with bags of gifts consisted of fine wine, wild ginseng, tea, and so on in their hands.
The Lopez family’s plan was simple—to butter up the God of War as much as they could.
“I didn’t expect you to come, Zoey,” Melanie said as she moved closer to Zoey, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Where’s your invitation card? Show it to me. It’s easy to purchase counterfeit ones these days.”
Melanie, Samuel, and the others were not the slightest bit convinced that Levi could get an invitation.
Just look at their status, there’s no way they can get an invitation to the banquet!
It’s like saying pigs could fly!
“I…”
Zoey hesitated because there was no invitation card, to begin with.
“Come on. What are you hiding?” Melanie laughed. “Don’t tell me your invitation card is made of gold that I can’t even take a look at it?”
Zoey clammed up, her head lowered.
“Aaron, show us your invitation card!” Harry demanded upon noticing the couple’s odd demeanors.
“Dad, I…”
Aaron panicked.
“What? You won’t obey even your own father’s order? Hurry up and show it to me!” Harry bellowed.
Aaron panted heavily and could only tell the truth. “Dad, we don’t have an invitation card… It was Levi who brought us here…”
Soon after they heard it, Samuel, Melanie, and the others laughed so hard that their belly hurt.
“You’re such an idiot!” Harry glared at Aaron. “What a disgrace to have a son like you!”
Sensing the mass’ scoffing eyes and ruthless laughter, a fresh swell of rage rose in Aaron as his last piece of dignity left in front of the Lopez family vanished without a trace.
Zoey, too, hated Levi to the core, knowing that they had lost all respect from the Lopez family.
“How shameless of you to attend the banquet without an invitation!”
“Let me tell you a fact. No matter how hard you try, your family can never enter this gate!” Samuel taunted.
“Let’s go inside, Grandpa,” Melanie said as she held onto Harry’s arm. “Don’t let them get in the way.”
Knowing them is such
