Chapter 907


    Sensing that his mother didn''t want others to know his middle name, Paul smiled politely and said,"


    Everyone, please enjoy your gathering. Excuse me." 3


    Jacob hurriedly said, "Hey, Paul, what’s the hurry?


    How about joining us for lunch?”


    He intentionally talked to Paul as a hint for the rest to realize that he and Paul knew each other so


    they could assume that he had already met Matilda before the reunion. 1


    It was also to suggest to them that both of them shared an extraordinary connection and to chase


    away Matilda’s suitors. 1


    Indeed, when the others heard their conversation, they found it rather odd and peculiar. They


    wondered how and when Jacob and Paul had be so close.


    Paul smiled and said, "Thanks, but no thanks, I have a meeting in the afternoon."


    Then, he said to Jacob in a moderate voice, "I have an appointment with Charlie. He''sing to my


    new office to check out the Feng Shui there, so I have to be there to entertain him."


    Jacob nodded with a smile. "My son-inw has no other skills than his pair of good eyes in Feng


    Shui. Let him take a look at it. I bet he won''t charge you afterst night''s dinner and the wine." 7


    Then, he continued, "Wait, let me call him and ask him to waive your bill!" 6


    William frowned in confusion and depression when h e listened to their exchanges.


    What was going on? Did Paul, Jacob, and his son-inw already have a drink together?


    When did all of this happen? Was it yesterday?


    Didn''t Matilda just arrive in Aurous Hill yesterday? Did it mean that she had met Jacob yesterday


    when she arrived? This was indeed exceptional! 5


    William was feeling rather upset and dejected. He couldn''t help but wonder if Matilda still had


    feelings for Jacob. 4


    Paul stopped Jacob and said with a smile, "Uncle Wilson, please don''t. It''s not very nice and


    professional if you ask Charlie to waive the bill, you don''t have to do that."


    Matilda also uttered with a smile, "Yes, Paul''s right. Jacob, let the kids handle their own affairs."


    Jacob took a glimpse at William in the middle of the exchange. He grinned gleefully when he saw


    the tinge of disappointment on his face, knowing that he had achieved his goal, so he nodded to


    Paul and said," Alright then. Go ahead, I will take care of your mom, don''t worry." 6

    William felt even more infuriated at the remark. ''What do you mean by that? Why do I feel as if


    you’re Paul''s stepfather, you freak?'' he thought angrily. 5 ''Oh, Jacob Wilson, you snatched Matilda


    away from m e twenty years ago. If you dare to ruin my happiness again this time, I''ll kill you!''


    William threatened, hoping that he could murder Jacob with his mind. 7


    Thus, he deliberately said loudly, "By the way, Jacob, where is your wife? You know, the wicked


    shrew who was infamous throughout our college. What''s her name, though? Herst name is


    Parker, right? What’s her first name, guys?"


    An old friend answered, "ine!"


    "Oh right! ine Parker!" William teased, "Jacob, I heard that you and ine share quite an


    affectionate and intimate rtionship, I bet you guys must have loved each other so badly over the


    years! Where is she? Why didn''t you bring her here today?" 5


    Jacob''s face twisted in an agonizing grimace upon the mention of ine’s name. He blurted


    indignantly," William, stop rubbing it in. ine isn’t from our ss, what business does she have


    here anyway?"
