    Chapter 18


    Ms.Jasmine''s departure "Why are you butting in, little brat, when the adults you speaking you ought to


    shut up...Both of you siblings are inevitably good for nothing!"


    Xander let out, he knew that it was his chance to crush Sett once and for all.He wouldn''t let go of such


    a golden opportunity! In response, Sett clenched his jaws, eventually letting out a breath.


    "Grandfather, I''m sorry for what happened here, and for being unable to hand my gift to you personally.I


    will leave immediately."


    After saying that, Sett didn''t wait for a second longer as he left.He could still hear Xander''s sneering


    voice.


    "Gift? It must be something worthless,ing from a pig who can''t even bring a proper cloth."


    Xander scornfully said, causing everyone to burst intoughter.


    "Anyway, if I see anyone helping or keeping in touch with that disrespectful brat, I''ll make sure they


    suffer the same fate as him! I''ll personally kick him out of the family.Do I make myself clear?"


    Xander questions the juniors of the family.


    "Of course, young master Xander! No one in the family would help a pig like him!" Xander nodded in


    satisfaction, seeing everyone agreeing with him.


    "I know, I''ll never let the shame of the family off so easily."Xander sneered.


    "That pig better not let me find out that he''s using the family name or else..."


    As everyone resumes giving their gift to the family head, Francisco, there was a suddenmotion at


    the entrance.


    "Who could it be?"


    The family head, Francisco, strokes his beard in curiosity.


    "Family head, Ms.Jasmine of the treasure Pce conglomerate,es to visit.She''s at the gate!"


    The guard hurriedly spoke.


    "Ms.Jasmine? Isn''t it unusual for her to attend my humble party? Maybe there''s a mistake." The family


    head, Francisco, spoke.


    He wonders why a woman with such excellent status like Ms.


    Jasmine woulde to his birthday celebration.As he didn''t have any form of contact with her.


    "I also forgot! Ms.Jasmine also told me that she''s here to deliver a package, and it''s a gift for you,


    family head."


    The guard hurriedly conveyed the message.


    "Hurry up and invite Ms.Jasmine inside!"иσν???вσσк.￠σм


    Xander excitedly said.


    Shortly after, Ms.Jasmine strides forward while being followed by her bodyguards, one of whom was


    carrying a box.


    Moreover, there was a notable figure in the group.


    "I''m Dr.Hutton, nice to meet you, Don Francisco Crossword.I apologize foring here without an


    invitation.I hope you don''t mind?"


    "Why would I mind? In fact, I feel very lucky to have met you both, Ms.Jasmine and Dr.Hutton."


    Family head Francisco spoke with modesty, but actually, he was excited.It was a rare opportunity for


    the Crossword family to make a connection with Dr.Hutton, who was a well-known surgeon and had


    many friends of high standing in Darian City.


    "You''re ttering me.Don Francisco, I only came here by chance, as I identally met Ms.Jasmine in


    the city center.Actually, I''m interested in seeing the man that made Ms.Jasmine so restless."


    Dr.Hutton smiled faintly as he nced at Ms.Jasmine.


    In response, Ms.Jasmine just shrugged her shoulders, not really minding.


    "Gentleman, I''m merely doing my job of handing the gift from one of our corporate VIPs, but it appears


    that the VIP is not present here...So, if you''ll excuse me, I''ll be going now."


    Ms.Jasmine said as her men finished putting therge gift box together, astonishing everyone.


    ‘It seems that Mr.Crow is not here.I guess I should head back soon.Maybe I''ll meet Mr.Crow on my way


    back"


    Ms.Jasmine thought to herself while slowly walking away.


    The family head was caught off guard as he didn''t expect that Ms.Jasmine, who was showing a


    delighted expression moments ago, would suddenly show such a face.It was a face of disappointment.


    Ms.Jasmine''s departure ruined his n to befriend her.


    "Dr.Hutton, can you help me persuade Ms.Jasmine to remain? I''ve prepared every high-ss dish.It


    would be ashame if we didn''t serve her, at my birthday party."


    "Family head Francisco, you know that I can''t do that.I''ve been expecting to see the man that


    Ms.Jasmine, wanted me to meet.It''s just my bad luck that he is not present."


    Dr.Hustton let out an exasperated breath.


    When Family head, Francisco heard those words, he was startled.


    "What did you say? You said that Ms.Jasmine and you are here to meet a VIP? Did Ms.Jasmine tell


    you about the VIP appearance?"


    The family head Francisco creases his brows.


    "Hmm, I think she said along the line that the VIP was a fat guy, and he looks somewhat handsome."


    Dr.Hustton said while scratching his head.


    Not sure of what Ms.Jasmine had said at that time when they were heading here.


    "Fat guy? Perhaps you are talking about my grandson, Sett Crossword?"


    The family head, Fransico, could hardly believe what he was saying.


    Was it possible that the VIP was his grandson? Moreover, Sett also mentioned to him that he would


    send a gift to him; the coincidence was just too much! Also, the respectful gaze that Ms.Jasmine was


    disying was genuine.So, she must be looking forward to seeing Sett, or most likely his


    grandson.Francisco, the family''s head, turned to his daughters to think "


    Amanda, Xander, hurry up and bring Sett back here this instant!"


    "Yes grandfather, I''ll immediately ask Sett toe back!" Amanda eximed.


    At the same time, he was feeling jealous.


    Why was Grandpa paying attention to that useless bum? Meanwhile, Sett and Nini could be seen


    exiting the Crossword family gate.There was a sad look on She''s face.


    "Brother, it''s just too much.Why did they have to kick us out? They are unreasonable....I hate them.I


    don''t want to see Grandma anymore." Nini said, with resentment.

    Nini was sad that his grandma and grandpa didn''t help her brother when he was being bullied.


    "It''s alright, Nini, but don''t worry, they will be the ones regretting kicking me out."


    Sett didn''t mind their treatment of him.He was more inclined to understand why She''s attitude toward


    him had gotten worse.


    ‘There must be something going on.I''ll ask Ms.Scarlett about the Laurel family''s rtionship with the


    Rotherford family...I can only hope that it''s not toote yet"


    Sett shook his head.


    ‘Leaving too early, you guys must have been kicked out, right? How sad."


    The guardsughed as they saw Sett and Nini leaving the premise.


    Nini''s face turned red, as she was embarrassed.


    "Ignore them, Nini, they are just uneducated guards," Sett said, with a cold face.


    "Kid, what did you say? Say that again and I swear I''m going to pummel you!"


    A rather hot-tempered guard shouted while grabbing Sett by the cor.
