Adeline received a phone call as she was leaving Arnold Manor. The caller ID showed that it was her

cousin Annabelle who was calling. She doesn’t normally contact me. What’s her reason for calling

today?

She didn’t want to answer at first, but Annabelle called again shortly after the phone had automatically

hung up on her.

Adeline had no choice but to answer the phone. “What’s the matter, Annabelle?”

Annabelle was Tobias’s youngest child. She used to get along well with Patricia and was always

following Patricia around.

This was why Adeline didn’t like Annabelle very much. Furthermore, Annabelle constantly claimed that

Adeline was the mistress’ daughter, which infuriated her even more.

“Addy, it’s my birthday today. Why haven’t you arrived yet? Where’s my present?”

Adeline frowned slightly as she realized Annabelle had called to ask for a gift.

“How old are you? Why is a kid having a birthday celebration? Did Grandpa allow you to have a party?”

Old Mr. Aniston was a gentle and succinct man, who never allowed birthday parties for the younger

generations. Take Adeline for an example; she was already twenty-three and never had a birthday

party.

Thinking about it made her angry. The socialite circle was gossiping about her, claiming that the reason

why she couldn’t have a party was because she was not liked by Old Mr. Aniston.

No one had been paying attention to her explanation.

This was because Patricia had a birthday party when she was eighteen, in which all the socialites had

attended the event.

“Addy, I’m eighteen years old and I’m an adult now, so come over right away!”

Adeline cursed as Annabelle hung up after finishing her sentence.

“This dumb kiddo. She abruptly ended the call without giving me a chance to respond. She is

completely lacking in courtesy.”

In a short while, Annabelle shared an address to her.

…

Patricia sat next to Annabelle at a large table while she stared at the Anistons. In the six years since

they had last seen each other, nothing had changed.

The aunts were all dressed in gold and silver, and the uncles hadn’t changed much except that their

bellies were bigger while their hair was thinning.

Since Annabelle had a good relationship with Patricia, she was required to attend her eighteenth

birthday celebration.

“Eat more, Patricia! Take a look at how skinny you are now,” Annabelle said as she placed some food

on Patricia’s plate.

“What do you know about it, Annabelle? Patricia is staying in shape. Even if you eat as much as you

want at your age, you don’t have to worry about gaining weight,” Annabelle’s mother, who was

Patricia’s second aunt, said with a smile.

She then served some food to Annabelle. It’s not that Patricia wanted to stay in shape; rather, she’s

never had much of an appetite, to begin with.

Especially today, she saw how sad Darcie was because of her daughter. She even got on her knees in

front of Percy, but he was so heartless that he turned down her request. As a result, she needed to find

a way to assist her.

Gwen, who sat across from Patricia, glanced at her from time to time while she clearly looked upset.

She was enraged as she remembered how badly she had been beaten that day.

As a result, she asked Patricia, “Tricia, why didn’t you bring your three children here today and let them

try these fancy dishes? It tastes delicious.”

The Wok of Fame was a well-known restaurant in Appleby. It was said that the royal chef of the palace

opened it, and it had been around for over a century.

Obviously, common people could not afford to dine at this restaurant as each dish cost at least three

figures.

When everyone at the table heard Gwen’s question, they became silent because it was inappropriate

to discuss the children at that time. After all, this incident enraged Old Mr. Aniston.

He was initially fond of Patricia, but over time, he stopped caring about her. When she showed up at

the party today, Old Mr. Aniston did not ask her to leave. He was only bothered by the fact that her

three children would bring shame to the Aniston Family.

He didn’t want to make a fool of himself. Patricia would be unable to face the Anistons in the future if

Gwen continued to talk about it.

“The kids are too loud. I’m afraid they’ll annoy the uncles and aunties,” Patricia responded to her.
