Chapter 326 Test The Water


    The Lester family lived in a luxurious mansion built at the foot of a mountain.


    The trees were dense. Flowers and shrubs were trimmed and sculpted into various shapes in the


    garden.


    A plump woman in her forties was directing servants as they decorated the living room. She was


    wearing a tight ck velvet dress.


    Nora''s 80th birthday was in two days. Patrick had invited many guests from rich and powerful


    families in Seacisco and was nning to go all out for his mother''s birthday party.


    "Rece all the flowers with peonies. Nora likes peonies. And the tablecloth here must be bright red


    —dark red or scarlet are forbidden." Elissa then looked at the curtain and frowned again.

    She had a pretty face, and with some makeup, she could look even more dignified. However, there


    was a small ck mole under her lip, which made her look a little mean.


    The servants could only listen to her demands and changed everything to her liking.


    After a while, a young man went downstairs, yawning. Still in pajamas, he scratched the back of his


    head and said impatiently, "What the hell are you doing? I had just fallen asleep when you woke me


    up!"


    When she saw her dear soning downstairs, Elissa looked to the servants gloomily and said,


    "Alright, you can leave first. Finish this after dinner."


    Then she looked at Ritchie and warned, "You''d better behave yourself. You didn''t get up until dinner


    is almost ready. Be careful or else your father will scold you again."


    Ritchie stretched and yawnedzily. Then, he picked up an apple from the fruit bowl and grumbled,


    "I''m just pissed off by the Larson Group. They''re the reason why my sleeping schedule is messed


    up. By the way, I went to see Ethan a few days ago. What the hell! I set up a trap for J as well


    as caused Ethan a lot of trouble. But the guy had taken care of everything!"


    Ritchie didn''t even know how Ethan had made it.


    Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Elissa and narrowed his eyes. "Mom, did Ethan do well while


    I was abroad?"


    Ritchie was starting to suspect that Ethan was no longer the loser he could bully and trample on.


    Hearing her son''s question, Elissa snorted arrogantly, "I don''t have the time to even think about that


    loser. Nor do I really care. Besides, how could he do a good job in anything? The Lester family cut


    him off, didn''t we?"


    "Don''t you know that old saying— that we should look at others with new eyes after some time has


    passed?" And a few years had passed. Now, it was hard for Ritchie to see through Ethan. "Hmm..."


    Elissa thought about it for a while. All of a sudden, she felt that she had to be on her guard. She had


    been afraid of Ethan before, and now it seemed she had good reason to be scared.


    "Then we have to pay closer attention to Ethan. Nora''s birthday ising. A few days ago, she said


    that she hadn''t seen Ethan in a long time and wanted to invite him to the birthday party. I''ve already


    told your father to tell Ethan. We can use this party as an opportunity to test the water." Ritchie


    touched his chin and smiled. "That''s good. I''ve been thinking about teaching that brat a lesson.


    Mom, let''s humiliate that bastard at the birthday party and see how he''ll react."


    Elissa sneered but said nothing. She hadn''t seen the illegitimate son of the Lester family in a long


    time.
