Chapter 263
1/2
Inside the villa, the celebration was in full swing. Everyone raised their glasses, offering a toast for Max Zimmer’s 80th birthday.
“Mr. Zimmer Senior, may you enjoy bountiful blessings!” they exclaimed.
Max beamed with delight. He glanced at the vacant seat beside him and asked Chad Zimmer, his eldest son, with a chuckle, “Where’s Kelvin? Why hasn’t my cherished grandson arrived yet?”
“Dad, Kelvin’s out on a date. He’s eager to have a great–grandchild for you soon, so he’s thinking of marrying quickly,” Chad responded with a grin, tailoring his words to please his father.
In truth, Kelvin had entirely forgotten about his grandfather’s birthday and was unresponsive to calls. His whereabouts were unknown.
Max laughed heartily as he was pleased. “Tell Kelvin that once he has a child, I’ll gift him a company!”
“Thank you, Dad. I’ll let him know right away!” Chad’s eyes lit up at the promise, and envy appeared in the eyes of other family members.
Suddenly, two security guards stumbled into the villa, disrupting the festive atmosphere. “Mr. Zimmer Senior, there’s trouble!” they announced.
“What’s the matter?” Max frowned, displeased by the interruption.
“A young man has barged in!” the guards exclaimed with fear.
“Useless fools! You can’t even stop one person!” Max scolded as he was clearly irritated. “Get out of
here!”
The guards hurried away. Silence fell over the hall momentarily. All eyes turned toward the entrance, focusing on the young intruder.
Cameron’s gaze was intense. He confronted Max, “Are you Max?”
“I am,” Max confirmed.
Max wanted to appear generous in front of his guests. He momentarily suppressed his anger and laughed. “They say every guest brings joy. If you, young friend, are here to wish me well on my birthday, you’re welcome even without an invitation.”
“Well said, Mr. Zimmer Senior,” the guests flattered him, seizing the opportunity to ingratiate themselves with the one and only Zimmer family.
Cameron sneered at Max’s words.
“Are you here to cause trouble?” Max’s tone darkened as he sensed Cameron’s defiance.
“What do you think?”
