While Baron got in the car, Charles drove toward the Brown Manor through the dark night.
The Brown family was ranked among the top 4 families in Cona, like the Lewis family. So that made them have high social status.
And coincidentally, today was Kris Brown’s 70th birthday. He was the leader of the Brown family.
Tonight, a lot of rich and important people in Cona all came to the big birthday dinner. Many luxury cars lined up in the parking lot.
The Brown Manor bloomed with light. And in the luxurious hall, there were dozens of tables. At the moment, the birthday dinner hadn’t started yet, but the hall was full of people.
A black car stopped in the parking lot. This ordinary car was a sharp contrast to all the luxury cars around.
Charles pointed to the well-dressed people and said, “Mr. Owen, it seems the Brown Manor has a big party.”
“That’s great. The Brown family are all here. It gets easier,” said Baron, with a small smile.
“Baron?” said a voice behind him.
He turned and saw a young man, in a burgundy suit, coming towards him.
The young man stared at Baron with astonishment. “What are you doing here? Have you received the invitation too? But that’s impossible. Tonight is Mr. Brown’s 70th birthday dinner. Except for the members of the Brown family, they only invited their friends, like my family. Small families have no title to the party. Not to mention you are just a son-in-law of the Perry family,” the young man said arrogantly.
When he mentioned the Warner family, Baron finally remembered that the young man was Joker.
Baron first met him in the Perry Manor not long after he returned to Cona. Sherry tried to make a match between Joker and Tracy. Even now, Sherry was still working on it.
Baron made no reply and walked straight to the door, but Joker got in front of him. “Stop! You can’t go in there without an invitation! Oh, I see! You must be hungry now and come here for the free food,” Joker taunted.
“Fuck off! No one can stand in my way, especially a dog!” Baron looked at him fiercely.
Somehow, Joker could not bear to meet his eyes. He felt cold sweat trickling down his back.
“You bastard!” Joker was absolutely furious. He was from the Warner family. Everyone respected him. But Baron not only took the woman he liked but also humiliated him in public.
He was contemptuous of Baron’s humble background from the first day they met. “Don’t talk to me like that, Baron! You mean nothing to me. Believe it or not, I can kill you easily!”
Joker said so loudly that a growing number of people came running to see the fun. Soon, they were surrounded by the rubberneckers.
Joker’s insolent words made Baron angry. Baron squinted his eyes and stared fiercely at him.
Baron made no reply, but Joker seemed to take his silence for fear. He said triumphantly to Baron, “You’re scared, huh? Now on your knee and apologize to me, maybe I will give you a way out. Otherwise, you’ll come to a tragic end.”
Baron looked at him with interest. “How can you be so confident?” he said.
“Of course! The Warner family is one of the best friends of the Brown family. You guys can’t afford to offend us. Do as I say and I will let you go!” said Joker haughtily.
