Translator: 549690339

Birthday gift?

Upon hearing Longman’s words, a peculiar expression crossed everyone’s faces at the scene.

As for Maddox, the star of the birthday feast, his face had turned incredibly ugly.

Everyone then saw Longman pull out two conspicuously red hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and throw them on the ground.

Seeing the two hundred dollars on the ground, Maddox’s face turned green with rage; he could barely catch his breath.

“What’s the matter? Are you dissatisfied with my gift, Maddox?” Longman asked, wearing a teaseful expression.

This…

Maddox’s face twisted in frustration, but by this time, the direct heirs of the Cooper family came over to soothe him. “Old man, you must bear in mind the bigger picture!” “Old man, patience brings calm waters!”

“Old man, enduring hardships makes one superior!”

You!

wow!

Upon hearing these words, Maddox almost exploded in rage. He could barely contain himself, his mood teetering on the brink of breakdown.

The same arrogance he demonstrated earlier was now replaced by utter humiliation.

All events that unfolded today felt like resounding slaps in the face, leaving him feeling downright swollen.

But for the future of the Cooper family, Maddox could only swallow his pride at this moment, reluctantly bent down, and picked up the two hundred dollars from the ground.

“Tha… thank you, Mr. Longman!” Maddox said with utter humiliation.

Upon seeing this, Longman gave a cold laugh and continued to mock, “Is this the renowned Cooper family? Truly remarkable! Even I, Longman, dare not provoke you.”

He repeated exactly what the Coopers had said before, which only increased Maddox’s shame and annoyance. 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m

But at this time, nobody pitied this aged man, whose foot was halfway into the grave, because they believed the Cooper family’s downfall was brought upon by their own arrogance.

Had they not scorned White Mitchell and bullied others, things wouldn’t have come to this pass.

Moreover, had the Coopers treated Mori Jones better, they might have stood a chance to win Mitchell over and obtain the support of David Herb and others through Mori.

That would’ve been an instant ticket to success!

Unfortunately, the Coopers considered themselves too superior. The instant they decided to deal with Mitchell, they were destined to be played at his hands.

All the Coopers’ so-called power, status, and dignity were mercilessly ground under Mitchell’s heel.

From today onwards, the Coopers would likely become pariahs in Sayon, objects of universal derision.

One false step led to various consequences, leaving Maddox in a state of extreme embarrassment.

While Maddox was going through torment, Amanda slowly spoke, “I didn’t prepare a birthday gift. Instead, may you have a day like today every year.” A day like today every year?

As soon as she said this, everyone at the scene couldn’t help but sympathize with Maddox.

If his future birthdays were anything like today, that’d be more unbearable than death.

Meanwhile, as soon as Amanda had finished speaking, David Herb initiated, “Since Mr. Duke wishes that you have a day like today every year, I wish you have a day like this every day.” wow!

This is downright ruthless! Truly heart-wrenching!

Someone couldn’t help but chuckle, what kind of blessings were these? Were these two performing a routine together?

Surely, this moment was more embarrassing than having Maddox killed.

Indeed, at this moment, upon hearing these words, Maddox wished nothing more than to bury himself in a hole.

“The elder, calm down! The elder, the elder, the elder…’

The Coopers, fearing Maddox would burst in anger, hurriedly tried to appease him.

“Enough! Enough! Enough!” Maddox interrupted, visibly irritated. He then slowly straightened his back.

He glanced silently in the direction of White Mitchell. However, before he could react, his son, Rhett, had already rushed over there.

Rhett’s face was filled with frenzied joy, just like a bee seeing honey. It was somewhat maniac.

He went straight to White Mitchell’s table, intending to lean towards Mori Jones, but was kicked away by Longman, who had hurried over.

“What are you trying to do?!” Longman glared fiercely at Rhett.

Upon noticing Longman, Rhett shivered instantly, unbothered, responded with flattery, “Mr…Mr. Longman, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I am her man.

Also, this is my daughter, Mori’s and mine biological daughter, Mori is Mr. Mitchell’s aunt, 1…1 am Mr. Mitchell’s uncle-in-law.

We are family, family.”

Shush!

Upon hearing this, the audience couldn’t help but give Rhett a look of utter disgust.

If they remembered correctly, Rhett had just been cursing Mori Jones, calling her a nasty woman, accusing her of seducing him, and claiming Mori’s daughter was a bastard.

Heh heh….

Someone couldn’t help but chuckle, no wonder Rhett was never a priority for Maddox. This proved Maddox’s self-awareness.

Such a man, who is duplicitous, could never ascend to greatness. No wonder Maddox rather nurtured his grandson than pay any attention to this son.

A series of mocking gazes instantly fell upon Rhett, yet he seemed completely oblivion, shamelessly trying to get closer and cozy up to Mori Jones.

After hearing Rhett’s words, Longman was a bit indecisive and silently turned around to ask for White Mitchell’s opinion.

Seeing this, White Mitchell turned to Mori Jones and calmly said, “Once unfaithful, forever useless. Aunt, you make the decision.”

Upon hearing this, Mori Jones pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence.

At this moment, seeing Mori’s reaction, Rhett instantly became somewhat flustered.

“Mori, it’s me, Rhett. Have you forgotten? Our love of the past many years, have you forgotten all about it?

I was just being foolish just now, and lost myself for a moment. But do you believe me, I really didn’t mean it. The words I said just now were forced out by my dad, not what I intended to say.

Didn’t you always want me to marry you? Now I’m proposing to you, will you marry me?” Rhett spoke earnestly.

If it weren’t for his recent shameful behavior towards Mori Jones, some people might have actually believed him.

Seeing that Mori Jones is still hesitant, Rhett cast his eye on the young Chase Jones, anxiously saying, “Chase, it’s me, I’m your dad.

Can you help persuade mommy, so we can reunite as a family? Haven’t you been telling mom that you want a dad? I am your dad, and we will never be separated in the future, alright?”

Upon hearing these words, the onlookers couldn’t help but glare at Rhett in utter disgust.

This Rhett was truly a man who could eat shame like rice.

And just when Rhett was looking expectantly towards the young Chase Jones, she stared intently at White Mitchell and requested, “Cousin White, I’ll make this decision for my mom!”
