Nathan’s family of three, as well as Jason and Rodney, appeared in the banquet hall.
“Welcome, Prime Minister Snow. It’s a great honor to have you here for my birthday party.” Gavin smiled broadly as he walked up to shake hands.
Nathan also smiled and shook hands with Gavin. “To think that when we met, Hannah was still in elementary school. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.”
“It sure has.” Gavin looked at Ryan behind him. “At that time, your Ryan was also quite young. Now, he has grown up to become your right-hand man.”
Ryan quickly stood up and said politely, “Uncle Gavin, Dad’s most capable right-hand man is you. Today is your 5oth birthday, so Dad specially asked someone to prepare a gift for you. Look.”
He opened the box and revealed ginseng inside. ” This ginseng is 300 years old. Dad got people to search for it for a long time before finally getting it. It’s said the older the ginseng is, the more it can prolong one’s life.”
“Haha, thank you. I’ve been feeling a little ill recently. Prime Minister Snow, you’re too compassionate.” Although that was what Gavin said, he only told someone to take the ginseng without looking at it much.
Nathan’s deep eyes overflowed with a faint smile, and he pretended as though he did not see it.
However, the gazes of the dignitaries and nobles by the side lingered between the two of them with odd looks.
Gavin smiled like an old fox. “Prime Minister Snow, why isn’t Chairman Snow here today? Is it because he looks down on the birthday party of a small minister like me?”
“My dad is a little busy today, so he sent me here instead.” Rodney was dressed in a feminine pink shirt, looking like a rich young master who did not know anything about the world. “Besides, my uncle is the prime minister and he personally came. Uncle Gavin, are you still not satisfied with that?”
“I am, of course, I am. But your father and I have known each other for many years. I personally sent an invitation a few days ago, so I didn’t expect him not to come.”
Gavin gave an insincere smile and pointed at Wesley behind him. “chairman Sanderson came today too and was just saying how he has admired chairman Snow for a long time. He wanted to meet him in person to chat with him. I even said that I would introduce Chairman Snow to him.”
Nathan glanced at Wesley. “You must be Wesley Sanderson from Golden Corporation. You’re quite famous recently. I heard a few days ago that you made the top rank in the list of the world’s richest people. You’re quite young and talented.”
“He’s not that young,” Rodney said lazily, “He’s two years older than me.”
Wesley’s thin lips curled slightly. “I heard that Young Master Snow isn’t on the list this time. Young Master Snow, you should work hard. I hope that you’ll reach the top 20 in two years.”
Rodney’s handsome face changed slightly. ” President Sanderson, it’s better to keep a low profile. Don’t be too complacent, or else you might capsize.”
“Rodney, President Sanderson is my friend. You’re embarrassing me by saying that.” Gavin’s eyes darkened slightly, and he seemed to be giving a warning.
Rodney sneered and was just about to speak when Nathan pressed on his shoulder gently. “Rodney, what you said was indeed not very polite. Apologize to President Sanderson and Minister Mead.”
“Uncle…” Rodney revealed a look of great annoyance.
“Hurry up,” Nathan warned in a low voice.
Rodney gritted his teeth and said, “Uncle Gavin, President Sanderson, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. Young men are like that. It’s normal to envy others. But Rodney, don’t always think about relying on your own family. You have to work hard too.” Gavin laughed. “By the way, aren’t you close to Shaun? He’s here as well. That boy is really polite. He insisted on being the Mead family’s dog and wouldn’t listen no matter how much I told him not to. I really couldn’t stop him.”
The moment those words were spoken, the people watching immediately went into an uproar.
“What? That can’t be, ” a young man from the Jarvis family said. “Who’s Eldest Young Master Lyons? He used to be the most powerful man in the country. But instead of acting like a man, he wants to be a dog for the Mead family?”
“That’s right. Has the Lyons family fallen this far down?”
“Don’t you see how he’s standing behind Hannah without saying a word? Isn’t that exactly what it looks like?”
“But I heard a few days ago that he was still pursuing Hannah.”
“Hah. How would Hannah take a liking to him? She’s probably just toying with him.”
The people chattered.
Shaun kept his head lowered. Hannah looked back at him, and after feeling some contempt for him, she started feeling smug.
Rodney turned pale with anger and bit his cheeks fiercely.
“Shut your mouths! ” He snapped at the people who were talking. ” Shaun is my brother. You’d better watch your words.”
“That won’t do.” Wesley laughed. “He’s going to be a dog. If you want to be his brother, then you—“
“How dare you?” Nathan interrupted him coldly, the aura emanating from his body making the crowd flinch.
However, Wesely and Gavin did not care at all.
“Prime Minister Snow, President Sanderson is my friend. You shouldn’t yell at him like that.” Gavin smiled vaguely with a hint of warning in his tone.
The crowd looked at Gavin in shock. However, after thinking of how things were beginning to stir in the capital recently, they kept their mouths shut.
When the big fish fought, little shrimps like them had better stay quiet.
“Minister Snow, he’s just a businessman. Am I not even qualified to reprimand him?” Nathan said with an expressionless face.
Wesley smiled and said, “I didn’t mean to insult Young Master Snow. It was him who said that Shaun is his brother.”
“That’s right. He’s the one without self-respect. Who is to blame?” Gavin hooked his fingers at Shaun. “My shoes are dirty. Come here and lick them clean.”
Everyone looked at Shaun in schadenfreude. Shaun’s body stiffened motionlessly.
“Hurry up and go, ” Hannah whispered to him.
Shaun finally turned his head to look at her. His eyes were dark like a wolf’s, making Hannah shiver for no reason.
However, when she remembered that she would be the prime minister’s daughter soon, she simply raised her hand and slapped him. “Didn’t you hear what I said?”
She suddenly felt quite good after slapping him.
In the past, Shaun looked down on her and acted high and mighty.
Now, she could trample on him however she wanted. It was even more satisfying than letting him marry her.
“Stop!” Rodney roared. “Hannah Mead, how dare you hit him? Who do you think you are?”
“What? Can’t my daughter hit a dog?” Gavin said coldly.
“Gavin Mead, what do you mean?” Rodney stepped forward. “As the saying goes, before you hit a dog, look at who its owner is. Shaun is my friend and my brother. My uncle is the prime minister. Aren’t you completely disrespecting the Snow family now?”
As soon as those words were spoken, the entire banquet was engulfed in a pin drop silence.
Everyone looked at Prime Minister Snow with trepidation.
“Minister Mead, you’re not trying to slap Shaun but me, aren’t you?” Nathan’s deep gaze looked at Gavin.
Now that things had come to this point, Minister Mead also stopped pretending. He glanced at Wesley and laughed. “Prime Minister Snow, you’re too much. I’ve done so much for the Snow family these years, but on my birthday today, your nephew yelled at me because of a dog. I think that you’re the one who wants to slap me instead. How about this? If your nephew kneels and gives me an apology, I’ll let what happened today drop.”
Ryan’s expression was cold. “You want a member of the Snow family to kneel to you? Are you trying to rebel?”
“Haha, I’m not trying to rebel, but I just think that the prime minister isn’t as good as me. I also want to taste the feeling of being in control of the country.” Gavin chuckled and smiled sinisterly.
Nathan’s eyes were instantly covered with a layer of frosty gloom. “Looks like this feast tonight is being held with other intentions in mind.”
He clasped his hands behind his back and walked around, looking at the guests present with a dark gaze.
They were all his officials, but now, they were standing at the side with trepidation. They did not utter a single word.
“Haha, that’s not true. After all, today is my birthday,” Gavin said loudly, “To tell you the truth, I don’t really think much of the ginseng you gave me. Just give me the power in your hands instead. Besides, you’ve already had a taste of what it’s like to be the prime minister. Think about it. If it weren’t for me supporting you all these years, you might not even be able to sit in this position, right?”
Nathan did not say anything, but Ryan could not hold back his anger anymore. He accused furiously and yelled, “You’re shameless! If it weren’t for my father, would you be able to come to Canberra and have what you have now? A person should know how to be content with what he has. You’re already someone who stands above tens of thousands of others.”
“You stinking brat, I’m talking to your father! Who are you to tell me what to do? Scram!” Gavin slapped his hand away. “I don’t want to be second- best. I want to stand above all else.”
Ryan’s body trembled with anger. “You’re courting Before he could finish, Wesley aimed his gun at him. “I think you’re the one courting death.”
Ryan froze, not daring to move.
Nathan slowly narrowed his eyes. “Gavin, are you really trying to rebel? Did you really think that I’d dare come here without making any preparations? Guards…”
