Chapter 1670


    Hendrix had kept his silence. Elijah and Eddison could have taken it as tacit approval and glossed over it, and it would have all been over. However,


    Aaron''s words had made the atmosphere awkward in an instant. Eddison raised his ss halfway and put it down again. He sat back with a faint


    smile and put the ss back on the table stiffly.


    Eddison was humiliated, and therefore he looked gloomy. However, it was Elijah who spoke first. Probably because of the Twitter incident. his hostility


    towards Aaron was greater. He stood high, and put on the airs of a senior. "I almost forgot if you haven''t brought it up, Mr. Reid. The Reid and Forbes


    families are both civil and polite people, but now, our private issues are published on the Inte, making it joke fodder for the whole city. Although


    someone was brought from the countryside in his teens, he should know the rules after so many years being here!"


    After that, he ced the ss heavily on the table and sat back in his seat. The ss shook on the table and almost poured out. Fortunately, Elijah’s


    wife reached out in time to help him, so that the atmosphere would not be more tense.


    Realizing I was observing her, we nodded to each other as a greeting.


    Unexpectedly, Elijah, a man who could not distinguish right from wrong, married a woman with a gentle temperament.


    In high society. a history of being adopted in the countryside would not be glorious, especially in front of people of the same ss. It was clear that he


    wanted to embarrass Aaron.


    Aaron lowered his head and sneered. Then he turned his head and fixed his deadly gaze at Elijah. "Mr. Forbes, what you said is indeed true. I dislike


    following rules the most. I don''t intend to follow the rules today either. Matt Forbes kidnapped my sister and almost killed my twin nephews. I''ve


    already decided to let him stay abroad all his life. It''s that or I''ll sue him till I''ve sent him to jail!"


    He was agitated, and this scene was


    getting more aad more out of


    control. However, Eddison was used


    to seeing:such a fuss. In the blink ef


    an eye, ft his displeasure had been


    sweptaway on his face. He patiently


    appeased the crowd, "Al right, ‘al


    right, there is no need to make a big


    fuss at a private banquetoJust take


    itas a sign of respect for me and


    happily finish the meal, okay?"


    The words were for Aaron, so the others did not know how to respond. Aaron''s attitude determined whether the rest could continue enjoying the meal

    All the guests were waiting for Aaron''s response, but his attention was on Hendrix. He squinted, pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and


    suppressed his anger.


    Hendrix was meant to be the protagonist of this banquet, but after he sat down, he did not speak, and let Eddison and Elijah lead the situation. It


    seemed that they were on the same side.


    Aaron had only one purpose, to seek


    justice for mé and the unborn


    babies. He was in a bad mood whea


    he saw fendrix’ s attitude, so he x


    began t to speak sardonically. "Some


    people talked big before, but he still


    dared not curse in the face.ef the


    ermemy who hurt his wife and


    children. This is really eye-opening...”


    Aaron''s bitter words made the atmosphere even more awkward.


    However, Herfdrix acted as if he


    hadn''t heardanything. He raised his


    hand andspicked up the wine ss-‘in


    front of: him as if nothing had _~


    happened. He took a sip slowlyand


    carefillly put it back. His moyements


    were elegant.

    Aaron was so annoyed that he suddenly stood up and knocked the cutlery in front of him to the ground. "I''m talking about you, Hendrix Roberts. Stop


    pretending to be dumb!"
