    Chapter 171 Bad Taste


    Christopher didn’t know if there was any misunderstanding.


    “Margaret’s parents came to the Sce residence today and brought a pile of things here!” Zachary


    took a sip of tea and said, “She said she came to visit your mother.”


    Christopher finally reacted when he heard this.


    He looked up at Zachary and Winnie, “What did they say?”


    The Sce family and the Ziegler family always had no contact. At most, they had business deals.


    However, the two families were alsopetitors, so the possibility of cooperation was very low. Over


    the years, the Ziegler family had been suppressed by the Sce family. They were kind and generous


    on the surface. In reality, they scolded the Sce family secretly.


    Would theye and visit Winnie with a pile of gifts?


    No one would believe it.


    Winnie sighed and became angry. “They said you have forcefully taken their daughter and asked us to


    be responsible for her!”


    Although Waylon and his wife didn’t say anything, Winnie understood what they said.


    Christopher sneered and lowered his head to y the game again.


    Seeing that he didn’t respond, Winnie was a little confused. “You don’t really have anything to do with


    the daughter from the Ziegler family, do you?”


    Christopherughed. “Is my taste that bad?”


    Hearing this, Winnie was relieved. Then, she paused and couldn’t help saying. “How good do you think


    you


    are?”


    Christopher didn’t argue with her.


    Looking at her son’s arrogant countenance, Winnie was a little angry. She said, “You’re the one who


    wanted the marriage. Since you are married, you have to shoulder the responsibility of a man. Look at


    you! How can you be a husband and a father?”


    Christopher rubbed his ears, lifted his eyelids, and nced at Winnie. “I wonder if you’ve passed


    menopause, Mom.”


    “Christopher!” Zachary shouted.


    Christopher immediately stopped talking.


    Usually, Zachary didn’t care much about Christopher and even La. He only raised Kendrick up.


    And Kendrick and Zachary were very simr in temperament.


    But since he stepped down, Zachary had be much calmer. Except for Winnie’s matter, he didn’t


    bother to interfere in anything else.


    La put away her phone, looked at the two elders, and said, “I’ll ask someone to investigate this. I


    won’t let the Ziegler family stain Christopher.”


    Winnie nodded. “Find out what’s going on as soon as possible. We can’t get involved in these messy


    things. ”


    When they got back, Joyce stuffed a lot of tonics in Christopher’s car.


    Looking at the bags, Yuliana felt a headache. “Joyce, I haven’t finished what you gave mest time!”


    Joyce smiled and said, “I gave it to youst time, and this time it was Mrs Sce’s order. Yuliana, do


    you want to let her down?”


    Yuliana was stunned and looked in the direction of the main building.


    Joyce said, “Mrs. Sce said that you are too thin. Go back and ask Hailey to cook them for you. It’s


    for health replenishment.”


    Yuliana smiled and said, “Joyce, please thank Mrs. Sce on my behalf.”


    “Okay,” Joyce answered with a smile. “Get in the car and go back. It’s gettingte. You have to go to


    ss


    tomorrow!


    Yuliana nodded, said goodbye to Joyce, and got in the car.


    Joyce walked to the driver’s side and said, “Have a safe drive.”


    Christopher replied, “Joyce, we’ll leave now.”


    The car slowly drove out of the Sce residence Yuliana was still a little confused. Today, Joyce called


    them back to the Sce residence to eat dinner. Was it only a simple dinner?


    Yuliana remembered that Joyce deliberately took her for a walk in the yard and stared at Christopher


    for a while


    Christopher noticed her gaze and tilted his head to look at her. “Is there something on my face?”


    Yuliana was stunned. She stared at him and asked, “What is it?”


    “My handsomeness!”


    Christopher was so arrogant that he felt a little silly after saying that.


    Yuliana ignored him and turned her head to look out of the window.


    After a moment of silence, Christopher looked at her again. “What’s wrong?”


    “It’s nothing.”


    She felt something was amiss. Why did Winnie suddenly change her attitude toward her?


    It was quitete when they got back to Celestial Garden. Yuliana had to prepare for the next day’s


    ss. It was almost 12 o’clock after washing up..


    After a while, Christopher pestered Yuliana. However, she ignored him and fell asleep.


    La arranged for someone to check Margaret’s recent whereabouts. She also found that Christopher


    went with Margaret on a business trip to Romdale some time ago. She contacted Cameron to learn


    about the situation. She confirmed with Cameron that Christopher must have nothing to do with


    Margaret.


    Why did Waylon and his wife say that Margaret and Christopher had slept together?


    Only Margaret knew the entire picture.


    A few dayster, the investigation came to an end.


    La received a video from the hotel surveince cameras.


    In the video, Margaret and Lincoln entered the hotel together. The next day, they came out of the hotel


    room one after another. What happened was self-evident.


    La told Winnie about the investigation result. She was frustrated.


    She didn’tment on Margaret’s behavior. It was disgusting to frame Christopher up for this kind of


    thing. “I can’t just let it go like this!” Winnie said.


    La was stunned. “What do you want to do, Mom?”


    Winnie sighed. “Isn’t your father’s birthday around the corner?”


    La nodded. “It’s the first day of next month. It falls exactly on New Year’s Day.”

    Winnieughed and said, “In that case, let’s hold a banquet in the name of his birthday and invite all


    families in Juxshire, especially Mr. Waylon and Mrs. Waylon, to join us.”


    La’s scalp went numb. “Mom, what do you want to do?”


    Since Zachary handed over the matters of the Sce family to Kendrick, Winnie hadn’t taken care of


    anything at all. She and Joyce were in charge of many social engagements. Obviously, Winnie had


    something


    her sleeves this time.


    up


    Winnie told La about what Quincy said that day and said, “The others don’t have the right to talk


    about the Sce family!”


    La understood what she meant and said, “Okay, I’ll discuss this with Joyce.”


    Soon, the news of Zachary’s birthday party that would be held in the Sce residence came out. The


    whole upper ss of Juxshire started to talk about it, and the invitations were sent to the families one


    after another.


    When Quincy received the invitation, she was so happy that she hurried to thepany and told


    Waylon


    about it


    Honey Mr Sce hasn’t held a birthday party for many years. This year is only his 68th birthday it


    shouldn’t be that eventful Do you think it has something to do with our daughter since he chooses to


    organize a birthday party this year?”


    was two days away from Margaret being released from the detention center.


    The news spread out all of a sudden. The invitation was sent in a hurry. Obviously, it was a temporary


    decision


    Looking at the invitation, Waylon couldn’t helpughing. 1 think so.” Since Zachary stepped down, they


    have rarely made public appearances. They won’t hold this birthday party for no reason.”


    Hearing Waylon’s words, Quincy became more confident. “Marge will be out in two more days, and she


    can join in time But do you think we should discuss this with the Sce family again? If anything goes


    wrong, it will be bad”
