Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1213
Chapter 1213 Are You Disciplining Your Youngest Son Again?
‘People have been calling me lowly ever since I was a child. Over time, I also started to feel contempt
for my mother’s status and disdain toward her birth. For years, my mother and I lived in an oppressed
state. Even though my mother was still considered one of my father’s wives, she had to bow and
scrape when she faced the first wife. Sometimes, even the first wife’s servants would order my mother
around,’ Anthony thought.
As he thought of that, the hate within Anthony grew. His resentment toward his mother had
also increased.
‘If it wasn’t for my mother’s status, or if she hadn’t pulled those tricks to join the Mullen family, I wouldn’t
have been looked down on by others,’ he thought again.
Mr. Mullen Sr. nced at him and disdainfully said, “Alright. Why are you still standing here? Go see if
Arthur is here yet. If he isn’t, go pick him up.”
“Yes, dad,” Anthony answered respectfully.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the courtyard.
“Oh, Mr. Mullen Sr.! Happy birthday. Happy birthday.”
Mr. Mullen Sr. and Anthony looked over at the same time.
The person walking in was Adrien.
Mr. Mullen Sr. was immediately all smiles. “Ha-ha, Mr. Tanner. You’re finally here. Come in,
He grabbed Adrien enthusiastically as if they were old friends that were reunited.
Adrien nced at Anthony. Then, he smiled at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said, “What’s wrong? Are you
disciplining your youngest son again?”
“Let’s not go there. Among all of my sons, he’s the most useless one,” Mr. Mullen Sr. said disdainfully.
Then, he growled lowly at Anthony, “Leave. Why are you still standing here?”
Anthony clenched his fists by his side and respectfully said, “Alright.”
Then, he nced at Adrien icily before finally leaving.
‘Speaking of which, Adrien Tanner might be a huge part of why I couldn’t bring Gilbert down at Calthon.
If it wasn’t for him acting as if he had secured the win and advised us not to act hastily, I wouldn’t have
ended up not achieving a thing after staying in Calthon for so long. How loathsome! Nevertheless, I
must bring Gilbert down. That way, dad will look at me and my mother in a different light,’ Anthony
thought.
“Hey, look! Mr. Tanner is here too,” Davian whispered to Gilbert.
He stood at the center of the banquet while looking at the courtyard’s entrance.
Felicity chimed in, “Mr. Tanner is considered somebody in the business world, so it’s not surprising for
him to be invited to Mr. Mullen Sr.’s birthday banquet.”
“No. I just find it weird how Mr. Tanner seems close with everyone.”
Hearing those words, Kisa could not help but feel startled.
She turned to look at the courtyard entrance. Mr. Mullen Sr. and Adrien were chatting in a chummy
manner. It was as if they had known each other for a long time.
Kisa frowned slightly. Her feeling of Adrien not being what he seemed grew stronger.
She also started to doubt whether Adrien and her mother were truly old friends.

She even started to suspect Adrien of having ulterior motives for getting close to her previously.
‘But, Jensen was the one who introduced Adrien to me,’ she thought.
At the thought of Jensen, who was still in aa, Kisa dismissed her doubts.
Jensen would never hurt me even if the whole world did,’ she thought again.
“Mr. Tanner, since you’re here, have fun at my ce for a few days. What do you say?” Mr. Mullen Sr.
smiled at Adrien while holding his cane.
Adrien nodded, “That’s what I had in mind. We could also discuss our other partnerships.”
He paused and thought for a while. Then, he smiled at Mr. Mullen Sr. and suggestively asked, “By the
way, it’s been a few years, hasn’t it? How’s the woman I gave you? Does she know how to please
you?”
