Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 372

“There's a reason I'm refusing to give you guys any. Just look at the sort of son-in-law you have from the second household. What if you speak nonsense when we're at Paradise Hotel? Not only will you embarrass yourselves, but you will also shame everyone from the Schmidt family. For the sake of the Schmidt family's reputation, I'm refusing to let you attend. Jeslyn, I'm sure you can understand why I did this,” Sylvena replied seriously after hearing Evelyn's words.

She directed her words to Marilyn's and Evelyn's mother, Jeslyn.

When everyone heard Sylvena's words, they recalled Harold's shocking behavior from earlier and agreed with her reasoning. Thus, they decided to support her.

'Yeah! You can't give them the invitation cards! What if he messes around and shames the Schmidt family in front of all the affluent people at Paradise Hotel?”

“I agree. We cannot give them the invitations. I recommend you distribute the invitation cards to our staff members who have outstanding performance. This way, we can show off how well-to-do the Schmidt family is. Even the staff gets to mingle with the famous people of Hishwick Island.”

“That's a good idea. With that, the Schmidt family's reputation will definitely soar!”

The members of the Schmidt family began to discuss the six remaining invitation cards.

They would rather the invitations go to the staff members of their household than to Marilyn and the others.

Marilyn, Evelyn, and Jeslyn were furious upon listening to their words.

Evelyn, in particular, was especially incensed. She immediately turned to Zyaire angrily.

“What Sylvena said makes sense. The second household will not attend the event.”

Despite Evelyn's displeased gaze, not only did Zyaire not help her, but he threw his support behind Sylvena's suggestion instead.

Upon uttering those words, he even turned to glance at Harold casually.

Smiling excitedly after hearing Zyaire's reply, Sylvena shot Marilyn and Evelyn provoking looks.

Marilyn's, Evelyn's, and Jeslyn's faces immediately darkened.

The two sisters dared not go against their father's declaration.

Even their mother dared not utter a single word in retort.

“Marilyn, it's just an invitation card. If you really wish to attend, I can request Quintus personally escort us in at the entrance. Let's go home,” Harold said after casting a cold look at everyone else.

Without another word, he dragged Marilyn with him and left.

Jeslyn and Evelyn, too, could no longer bear to stay at the family dinner.

Not only did Zyaire express that the standing of the people from the second household was below that of the staff, but they were also ineligible for the invitation cards while mere staff did.

That meant that their places in the household were lower than that of the staff.

The people present began to ridicule Harold after hearing his words.

“Does the punk think that Quintus will show up to personally escort them? I'll give him ninety-nine points for his delusion. If I give him full points, it may go to his head.”

“Perhaps he's not fully awake yet. He's probably daydreaming.”

Faced with their relatives' harsh comments, Marilyn's and Evelyn's faces reddened in embarrassment, and they quickly fled the scene.

The incident only made Evelyn's resentment toward Harold grow stronger.

She had become the laughingstock and the subject of the family's ridicule ever since Marilyn brought him home.

After Harold, Marilyn, and the others left, everyone else resumed eating and drinking.

They were all filled with anticipation for the day after tomorrow.

Upon returning to their home, Marilyn immediately dragged Harold into her room.

“Is it true when you said you had a way of letting us get in?” Marilyn asked Harold seriously.

Truth be told, she did not mind if she could attend or not. However, Evelyn was far more prideful. The shock of being denied an invitation card was not minor.

Hence, Marilyn wanted Evelyn to be able to attend the event.

“Of course, I was serious. The thirty or so invitation cards actually came from Quintus after I requested someone to bring them over. You only have to go with me the day after tomorrow,” Harold declared confidently.

“Wasn't Ewan the one who procured those invitations?” Marilyn asked in disbelief after she heard Harold's words.

“Look at this!”

Without further ado, Harold took out his phone and showed Marilyn the message he had sent to Quintus.

The screen showed a text log between Harold and Quintus.

Quintus sent thirty-three invitation cards after Harold had requested that the former increase the number of attendees from sixty-six to ninety-nine.
