He said, “Mr. King, it seems that you have retired for too long. You don’t understand the current rules.
The one who provokes first is cheap. Mr. King, remember these words. The way back will be fine a little bit.”
“You!” Luis was furious, holding the crutch with both hands, and smashing it to the ground, “You have no rules!”
“Mr. King, what you said is interesting.” A familiar voice came from behind them. “Mr. Hayden is very well-behaved. Mr. King, don’t just rely on your old age to think it’s up to you to make the rules.”
Miles and Matilda turned their heads together and saw that it was none other than River.
He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses today, like a refined rascal.
Matilda quickly sorted out the current situation.
People came here today were all from prominent and prestigious families in Innisrial. Even if they were not the head of the family, they had sent representatives of distinguished status.
It was just that no one would have thought that River would come here.
Miles and River nodded slightly as a gesture, but they didn’t look close.
On the contrary, River’s eyes fell on Matilda’s face, full of interest, “Miss Duncan, you’re here too.”
Matilda nodded calmly, fully playing the role as Miles’ female companion today. She was well-behaved and sensible, knowing her place.
River looked at Matilda with interest. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he said softly, “I thought you would yearn for freedom, but I never thought that there would be a day when you would be bound.”
It was already obvious about what he said, to put her and Miles on the same side.
Matilda still didn’t change her expression, but looked at River with unfriendly look.
River quit while he was ahead, and will not hold on to Matilda.
He looked at Luis, but assumed the attitude of a humble and sensible junior, “Mr. King, you don’t mind if
I come here uninvited?”
Luis was already livid at the moment. He certainly didn’t send an invitation letter to River, but he didn’t expect this person to come here so cheekily.
This made him very angry. His villa did not block a junior.
Moreover, what annoyed him even more was that he didn’t know when Miles got involved with River.
It actually made River dare to be so bold and mock him.
Luis held grudges with the two ignorant young men now.
In the future, they would see.
Kate quickly said to Luis, “Grandpa, the guests are almost here. Let’s get down to business first.”
Luis followed Kate’s words and said, “Yes, we have to get down to business.”
With that, the two stepped onto the stage that had been set up.
Luis was already over eighty years old, but was still in good spirits. And the speed and accent of his speech did not appear to be old-fashioned at all, but very imposing.
He stood in the center of the stage and said, “Today, I invited all my friends here because I have two things to announce. Everyone knows that my fate is not good. My wives passed away one after another, leaving no children. Now I have hit it off with Kate. I recognized her as my granddaughter, and from now on, the property of King family will be passed on to her. This is the first thing.”
Everyone was surprised by this, and some had already expected that Kate would have to be announced as a granddaughter in order for the outside world to recognize it.
However, no one would have thought that Luis would be so generous that he would hand over all his property to Kate.
This can’t help but make everyone wonder what kind of means Kate had to make Luis do this.
Or, what hidden secrets did Luis have to announce this matter so loudly.
Luis ignored everyone’s whispered reactions, and continued, “Originally, since my family has withdrawn from the stage of history, I never thought about coming back. However, I am old and I don’t have much time to take care of my granddaughter. Today’s return is to hope that all friends can consider the past friendship and give convenience to my granddaughter.”
What he said was very humble.
However, the more it was like this, the more it made people feel that there must be something tricky behind it.
A guy like Luis, with all the fanfare, can’t just be paving the way for Kate.
Although everyone responded on the surface, they already had their own guesses.
They had to guard against it.
River, Miles, and Matilda still stood where they were. At this moment, the three of them had wine glasses in their hands, watching the situation like spectators.
What Luis said made all three of them show mocking expressions.
River said, “So generous. People who don’t know everything will think she’s his real granddaughter.”
Miles smiled contemptuously, and said, “There’s nothing unusual about this kind of speculation.”
Kate was naturally not Luis’ biological granddaughter.
However, that didn’t mean she can’t have Luis’ child.
Matilda laughed lowly, “Aren’t you two too bad?”
River shook his wine glass and looked at Matilda’s innocent eyes.
He said, “Miss Duncan, you are very kind.”
The reason why they said that was because they had known some secrets. Otherwise, how could they talk about it without evidence?
Matilda’s face darkened, and she could certainly know the meaning behind his words.
If the three of them were not in the same camp now, Matilda would definitely have a verbal battle with
River.
Glancing at River, Matilda looked towards the stage. Luis had finished his flattering introduction to Kate, and now he was getting off the stage with Kate.
Some people had begun to talk to Luis and Kate falsely.
Today, Luis made such a big scene and came to brag for Kate, and the guests would naturally cooperate.
River lost his patience. He had already grasped the information he should get on this trip, so he didn’t have much patience to stay here any longer.
He looked at Miles and asked, “Let’s go?”
Miles raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, and said, “Let’s go.”
Matilda looked at Miles, then at River, and suddenly frowned, feeling disgusted and surprised at the same time.
Miles immediately knew that she was thinking wrong. He raised his hand helplessly and flicked
Matilda’s forehead, saying, “Let’s go. Do you still want to stay and drink?”
Matilda was speechless.
Angrily glaring at Miles, Matilda was the first to walk towards the door with her dress lifted.
She didn’t bother to greet Luis or Kate, and River and Miles didn’t even think about it. The three of them just left in such a bold manner. That gesture didn’t give the host any face at all.
Kate had been talking with everyone. And she had been paying attention to Miles and the others from the corner of her eyes.
Seeing that they were leaving now, she immediately became anxious.
How could she let them go so easily?
The reason why there was such a big scene today was that, on the one hand, the two things announced were true. And on the other hand, it was specially arranged so that she could get closer to
Miles in the future.
Who would have thought that Miles brought Matilda over here, which obviously proved that she was wrong.
Kate bit inside her cheek angrily. At this moment, she wished she could rush over and strangle Matilda to death.
She really wanted to do this, but the moment she raised her foot, she heard Luis cough. Then, she instantly stopped what she intended to do.
Kate just watched Matilda and Miles leave like this, so angry that she couldn’t hold back her expression.
As the three walked to their respective cars, River said, “Would you like to have a drink?”
Miles gave a low laugh, and said, “River, your invitation is trying to misunderstand me that you came here specially for me.”
Matilda was listening, and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Wasn’t that what she thought just now? But, because of Miles, she didn’t say it directly.
Unexpectedly, Miles said it himself.
Miles heard Matilda’s laughter, and was really annoyed and helpless that she couldn’t take his feelings into consideration.
River looked at Miles with interest, and then his eyes fell on Matilda’s face again.
He said, “For you, not really. As for whom, Miles, you should know.”
Miles’ eyes narrowed suddenly, looking at River dangerously.
Did he like Matilda?
Can he bear it?
Miles said, “If this is the case, I don’t think there is any need to go for a drink with you.”
After speaking, Miles pushed Matilda into the car without any hesitation, and said to River in an arrogant tone, “River, we’ll go first.”
River just watched Miles and Matilda’s car leave, gritted his teeth, dumbfounded.
He had never known before that Miles was so childish.
