Zephyr smiled helplessly and was going to retort when Zennie suddenly came back and told him softly, “Don’t get

too worked up when you get to the table in a while.”

“Why?”

“Just…” She looked like she was anticipating a good show. “You might not be able to get anything in!”

Zephyr paused and walked to the table swiftly.

Well, Zennie was right…

There was a stern hint in Liam’s smile as he took a seat at the main chair with an impassive gaze scanning

everyone.

As for the seat that was supposed to be Zephyr’s, Nelly was actually sitting next to it!

“Zephyr, why are you standing there?” Liam urged him, “Have a seat.”

Zephyr’s expression was dark as he walked to Nelly with clenched fists.

The servant pulled out the chair to let Zephyr take a seat politely.

Everyone’s gaze was on him.

His relationship with Cordelia had gotten around the family. Every Hamerton knew that he had met the girl when he

was recuperating in Jangasas. All of them also knew that he had confronted his grandfather several times for that

girl.

Today, the patriarch of the Hamertons had actually asked Nelly to attend the family dinner… Was this not an

announcement that he only acknowledged Nelly as his granddaughter-in-law?

“There’s no loss in a marriage with the Tanners,” someone commented softly. “Why’s our Mr. Z so stubborn?”

“Hah, he’s used to things going his way. What does he know about sacrificing for the family’s benefits!?”

“Look at what he’s wearing. That suit is of an awful quality!”

Nelly could not help glancing at Zephyr.

His clothes had always come from haute couture designers from fashion weeks, but what he currently wore… It

was obvious it was something cheap from a shop.

Nelly began to show that she was able and virtuous. “Zephyr, this suit has a rather old design. Why don’t you get

changed?”

Zephyr paused and turned to look at her with an icy stare.

Nelly dared not speak anymore and quietly drank the appetizer soup. The others dared not comment more, either.

Wherever Zephyr was, there was an intangible pressure. No matter how spacious and open the living room was,

one found it hard to breathe.

Zephyr suddenly spoke up with a faint smile. “Grandpa, it’s our family dinner today, right?”

Liam nodded in puzzlement.

“Is it appropriate to invite an outsider since it’s a family dinner?”

He was obviously referring to Nelly.

Liam’s face fell a little as he answered, “How’s Ms. Tanner an outsider? Since it’s a family dinner, she naturally has

to attend.”

“Yeah, that’s right.” Matthew chuckled in chorus. “How’s Nelly an outsider based on our relationship with the

Tanners? She’s not one!”

“Really?” Zephyr looked at him. “Not to you, Uncle Matthew?”

Matthew’s heart dropped, cautious about the trap Zephyr set for him.

“Ms. Tanner isn’t an outsider to you. Does this mean you already see her as a candidate to be your daughter-in-

law?”

“You— What are you saying?” Matthew nearly choked.

Nelly was appalled as well, dropping her cutlery and looking at Zephyr in silence.

Zephyr ate calmly and suddenly looked up. His sharp and deep eyes scanned the place, and he smiled lightly.

“It’s the Hamerton family’s dinner today. Everyone here bears the family name Hamerton. I really don’t understand

why Ms. Tanner is here.

“You’re the one in charge of the dinner guest list, right, Uncle Matthew?

“Hah, your eyes wouldn’t be that bad, would they? That you can’t differentiate between a Hamerton and a Tanner?

Or… have you received so many favors from the Tanners that you see yourself as a Tanner?”
