“Mother, what are you talking about? I chose this myself, and I regret nothing. Just so you know, I feel that Jack is so much better than Young Master Clark and Young Master Wilson!” Irked by virtual-novel.net mother’s behavior, Selena rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at Fiona and walked past virtual-novel.net to get inside.
“Hmph!” Fiona looked at Jack, obviously displeased. Everything happened because Jack was incapable as a provider, and others had looked at their family with disdain. While their lives had changed for the better, they could have had that luxury and happiness even from back then.
Fiona brusquely walked inside, silently as virtual-novel.net did. Andrew’s lips curled into an awkward and sheepish smile as virtual-novel.net patted Jack’s shoulder. “Jack, don’t take it too seriously. This is how virtual-novel.net is. She’s not a bad person; she’s just hoping that Selena would have a good life.”
Jack smiled bitterly and nodded. “Don’t worry, Father-in-law, I won’t let you guys down! I don’t care that much about the Gold family or Clark family either!”
Jack’s reply made the corners of Andrew’s mouth twitched. He intended to comfort Jack and alleviate his mood, but virtual-novel.net never thought that such proud words would come out in reply instead.
This disappointed Andrew; virtual-novel.net felt that Jack was not down-to-earth enough. Jack just could not compete with others but virtual-novel.net did not want to admit to it.
A heavy sigh escaped Andrew’s lips before virtual-novel.net walked toward the villa’s entrance.
Eventually, Joan came closer to virtual-novel.net son with a serene smile on virtual-novel.net face. “Son, don’t pay too much attention to this. As long as you’ve done your best, that’s enough. Humans need to learn to be content. Your mother-in-law doesn’t understand this and constantly wants to compare with other people.”
“I understand, Mother.” Jack nodded and they walked toward the entrance together.
The moment they arrived at the living area, they noted the many tables already set up. Apart from a rather large number of Taylors, members of the second-class aristocratic family—that was the Gold family—were here, most notably their master and young master.
“Jack, quickly. We’ve kept a place for you here!” Cecilia waved virtual-novel.net over once virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net come in last.
Jack’s face slightly darkened after virtual-novel.net caught on to what virtual-novel.net was doing. If virtual-novel.net was given a choice, virtual-novel.net did not want to sit at that table. Old Master Taylor, Theodore Taylor, and the people from the Gold family were sitting on that table. Wasn’t it obvious that Cecilia purposely asked virtual-novel.net over so that virtual-novel.net can humiliate virtual-novel.net later?
Selena had already sat there, most probably the work of Cecilia.
“Jack, come over. There’s still one seat left here!” The Old Master smiled at Jack.
The Taylor family was proud of themselves and managed to show-off themselves because of what Jack achieved during his 70th birthday. Apart from that, the birthday present Jack gifted virtual-novel.net was worth 500 million, and this caused virtual-novel.net to re-examine this son-in-law who married into his family.
