An elderly woman, sipping her coffee, remarked with a sarcastic tone, “Why does the coffee sent from the coffee estate this year taste like this?”
Beside her, someone chimed in. “It’s not from our coffee estate. It’s from another family. They said that they wanted us to try it. But after all, it’s not our own, just some second–rate stuff.
“Have it thrown out and make a fresh pot. They’re really losing their sense of decorum- serving this to guests? Our family doesn’t tolerate such carelessness.”
Yes. Ve
Someone called for the maid to brew a fresh pot of coffee.
At the side, Milena and Zoey’s faces were ashen as they secretly glared at Eleanor.
Eleanor pretended not to see it and helped Lily to sit down.
Before she could sit down, the butler said that Jayden was here.
Everyone immediately stood
up
and greeted him.
Jayden waved his hand in a dignified manner. “Everyone, sit down. We’re just gathering today. There’s no need to be reserved.”
As soon as Milena sat down, she asked someone to send a rectangular box over.
After it was opened, a famous sword was revealed.
She flattered, “You’re looking so strong and healthy, Jayden. It seems your recent sword practice has been paying off. When Zoey found out, she specially requested a master to craft a sword for you. Shel was a bit shy, worried she might embarrass herself in front of you.”
“Mom, that’s enough,” Zoey said softly as she gracefully stood up, “Jayden, please don’t blame me for taking the initiative. Actually, it was Elijah who often mentioned this, so I heard it.”
They played off each other so well, truly putting on a show.
She praised Jayden for being good at swordsmanship and Elijah for being filial. At the same time, she mentioned how thoughtful she was.
Jayden was indeed happy. He reached out to touch the sword and nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Zoey”

Zoey and Milena basked in the glory, their confidence visibly bolstered.
Now, they finally had a chance to vent their anger
They looked at each other and smiled.

respect
Milena wanted to say something but hesitated. It piqued everyone’s curiosity and they all looked at Logan and Lily.
Lily’s face was pale, making her lips appear unusually red in contrast.
Logan grabbed her hand, his usually steady expression now tinged with embarrassment.
He wanted to say something, but he had been too drunk to remember anything and everything that happened after that was dictated by Lily.
Without any evidence, no one would believe him even if he said it..
At this moment, Eleanor looked at him and signaled with her eyes.
Logan nodded imperceptibly. “I’m fine.”
“That’s good. Otherwise, I would feel guilty, Milena said with exaggerated concern, patting
her chest.
Upon hearing this, Jayden frowned and asked, “What happened?”
Milena looked troubled. “I heard Logan had been trying to secure a client, so I arranged a dinner for them. But Logan and Lily drank too much. I had no choice but to send the client.
first.

“I didn’t expect Lily to fall into the trash room in the kitchen with Logan. I heard that that place is filled with flies and reeks of filth.
“I was worried about your health, so I asked.
“Isn’t that right, Lily?”
As soon as she finished speaking, many people at the huge round table covered their mouths. and noses and looked at Lily with disdain.
Lily pursed her lips and did not say a word. Her eyes darkened.

Zoey, acting as the voice of reason, cut in, “Mom Lily didn’t do it on purpose. She doesn’t know how to socialize in business.”
Her words implied how Lily not only ruined the client meeting by getting drunk but also. made a fool of herself and Logan by tumbling into the garbage room.
Hearing this, Jayden slammed his forks down and turned to look at Elijah. “Is it true? Or is she lying?”
Zoey looked at Elijah aggrievedly. “Elijah, my mother didn’t lie.”
Elijah lazily held his cup and said indifferently, Yes.”
On the other side, Eleanor lowered her head. When she heard this, her index finger was scratched. Elijah loves Zoey so much that he can even betray his brother.
Jayden glared at Logan and Lily. “Are you serious? Can’t you even handle something this simple at your age?”
Logan’s expression was solemn. Just like before, he endured Jayden’s scolding, whether in public or private.
Lily cried.
Jayden became even angrier and reprimanded, “How dare you cry?”
The restaurant was dead silent. Only Zoey and Milena’s eyes were filled with smugness. They looked at Eleanor with disdain. Eleanor, you are not qualified to fight with me.
Eleanor did not retreat. She met their gazes and smiled. The timing was just right.
