    Given that Homer had expressed his intentions in this manner, Skr could not very well turn him


    away. He merely nodded and said, “Old Mr. Sue is in the living room; you can present your gift to him


    there.”“Alright!” Homer beamed from ear to ear and dipped his head slightly in thanks before making


    his way to the living room.Yvonne, who had been watching in stunned silence all this while, finally


    pulled herself together. With bitter indignation, she snapped, “Bah! What a load of pretentious rubbish!


    After saying earlier that Grandpa wouldn’t care for all this too! Turns out someone must have nned


    everything earlier because they were afraid we’d show them up. Some people are just shallow that


    way; no wonder Grandpa was easily swayed into handing everything over to you!”Georgia and Tyler


    chimed in as well. “Exactly! It’s really disgusting how calctive some people can be, even within one’s


    own family!”Up to this point, Yulia had not bothered to quibble with the three of them. However, when


    she heard this, she could no longer stand it. “Let’s see; earlier on, somebody was making snide


    remarks and prodding me into inviting some distinguished people to grace the asion, as if it would


    be a disgrace to Grandpa if I didn’t do so. Well, Mr. McGee is here now, but some people seem to be


    upset about it, acting like green-eyed monsters and making cattyments. If that’s the case, why not


    make a few phone calls and invite a few more distinguished guests to prove you’re taking Grandpa’s


    birthday celebrations seriously?”“You…!” Georgia and Tyler almost choked. Earlier, this was exactly


    how they had derided Yulia; now, she had thrown their own words back in their faces without a


    moment’s hesitation. Their faces burned with anger and embarrassment; they knew that they did not


    have the clout to invite anyone more prestigious than Homer McGee.However, Yvonne had Nn on


    her side, and she was not about to admit defeat so easily. With a contemptuous little smirk, she


    remarked scathingly to Yulia, “It’s just Homer McGee anyway. Who knows what sort of underhand


    arrangements you’ve made with him to get him to cooperate with you in this little farce? If you want to


    score one over me, why don’t you invite a few more VIPs?”Right as she said this, the butler announced


    in a clear, carrying voice, “Mr. Brad Moody, representing the Moody family!”Yvonne was suddenly


    assailed by a sense of foreboding. The Moody family might not have been one of the Four Great


    Families, but their power and influence were second only to the Whitlocks. In fact, they could be


    considered Cloudtopia’s Fifth Great Family. Even Nn’s family, the prominent Oakleys, were nowhere


    on par with the Whitlocks, despite having family connections with the Belmonts.In other words, Brad


    Moody, the head of the Moody family, was a member of Cloudtopia’s highest elite circles. It was almost


    unthinkable for someone like that to show up at the Sue residence out of the blue!He can’t havee


    because of Skr and Yulia, could he?By the time Yvonne had time to process the wild thoughts


    spinning around in her brain, Brad had already approached Skr and Yulia, greeting them with the


    utmost courtesy. “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Stone!”Before Skr could reply, Brad added quickly


    with a chuckle, “Mrs. Stone, I heard that your grandfather’s celebrating his 70th birthday. I thought I’d


    take the liberty ofing by to toast his good health; I hope both of you will forgive my


    presumption.”For a moment, Skr was bereft of speech. Were all these people somehow


    mysteriously all-knowing? One by one, they were showing up with gifts for Leon; he could not, in all


    good conscience, chase them away, could he?Furthermore, he had just ushered Homer into the living


    room to pay his respects to Leon, so he could not very well bar Brad from doing the same.As such,


    Skr merely nodded gravely and replied courteously, “Of course, Mr. Moody, think nothing of it. Old


    Mr. Sue is in the living room, please do go in.”“Thank you, Mr. Stone!” Brad broke into a big smile and


    bowed his head in thanks.Yvonne, Georgia, and Tyler could only stand there, gaping in disbelief…
