The anniversary meeting of the Jones family was advertised so well that even Zoey was aware of it.
“Are you going to be there?” She looked for Levi and asked virtual-novel.net about it.
In fact, virtual-novel.net was mainly curious to see how virtual-novel.net thought about the event. As far as virtual-novel.net knew about virtual-novel.net in the past, virtual-novel.net would not want to waste his time attending the event nor would virtual-novel.net want to accept the identity as one of the members of the Jones family.
Staring at virtual-novel.net with anticipation palpable in virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net fervently hoped to hear the answer virtual-novel.net preferred from him.
“I’m going to be there because they invited me,” Levi replied nonchalantly.
What?!
At that moment, Zoey’s eyes were filled with much disappointment because Levi was no longer the lofty guy who thought virtual-novel.net was superior to everyone else in the world. What took its place was a soul that was willing to compromise for some worldly gains.
This wasn’t the version of him virtual-novel.net would like to see…
Levi then asked virtual-novel.net with a smile, “Would you like to go with me?”
He wanted to bring virtual-novel.net there to see how virtual-novel.net was going to shine and leave the Jones family in stupor because of his glory.
To his dismay, Zoey turned virtual-novel.net down decisively. “I’m not going. You may attend the event on your own!”
In virtual-novel.net opinion, it was utterly humiliating for Levi to accept the identity as one of the Joneses.
On top of that, virtual-novel.net was really taken aback by his sudden change of attitude because virtual-novel.net had told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would ignore them for the rest of his life some time ago.
Iris, who happened to come by, noticed the exasperated look on Zoey’s face. Out of curiosity, virtual-novel.net queried, “Zoey, what’s the matter?”
“Levi just said he’s going to attend the anniversary meeting of the Jones family!” Zoey grumbled resentfully.
“Huh? Is there anything wrong with that?”
“Iris, by attending their anniversary it shows that he’s going to yield to them. The moment virtual-novel.net accepts the identity as one of them, virtual-novel.net will lose his backbone and embarrass himself. Didn’t you hate virtual-novel.net for doing things like that too before this?” Zoey asked in befuddlement.
“I…” Iris trailed off hesitatingly as virtual-novel.net had no idea how to answer Zoey.
Back then, virtual-novel.net indeed loathed the fact that Levi got things done by using his connection with the Joneses because virtual-novel.net had no idea who virtual-novel.net really was at that time.
But now, virtual-novel.net knew Levi was the owner of Morris Group who clearly did not need help from the Joneses.
“Zoey, things aren’t how you may imagine them to be at all. Perhaps Levi is going to be there to show off his might,” Iris suggested with a grin.
Zoey shot virtual-novel.net a supercilious glare and retorted, “Show off his might? Who is virtual-novel.net to show off in front of the Joneses? They are one of the royal families in South Hampton!”
“Maybe…”
“Iris, that’s enough. It’s so obvious that Levi has lost his backbone by deciding to yield to the Joneses! I can’t believe he’s still going to attend their anniversary after how badly they bullied him!”
Zoey went on to lament, “Perhaps it’s because my career has been thriving so well lately that virtual-novel.net wants to become better so that virtual-novel.net is good enough to be my partner. Yes, he’s right! He will become good enough or even too good for me once virtual-novel.net accepts the identity as one of the Joneses! However, I can’t help but look down on virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net gives up his spine like that! I would rather virtual-novel.net fight for his career with his own effort. Even though his achievement might not turn out too great, it will still be the fruit of his effort!”
