“Happy Seventieth Birthday, Mr. Langley,” Braddick said and bowed to Alvern. The action shocked everyone.
Braddick was the patriarch of a great family in Somerton, but he actually bowed to Alvern!
Could this be Daniel’s doing? If it was, then Daniel’s influence as the son of the Wilder family was truly impressive.
“Daniel, did you invite these people here?” Alvern asked softly.
Daniel could not help but frown.
“Maybe they rushed over here because they heard that I’m here.”
“Truly, your reputation precedes you,” the members of the main Langley family said. They were all smiles.
Although Daniel’s logic was sound, Thaddeus and Braddick only wished Alvern happy birthday and did not approach Daniel to speak to him. It was as if they were ignoring him.
For a moment, Daniel’s pride took a hit. His face twisted in annoyance.
‘How dare the insignificant Shrike family ignore me? Do they want to die?’ After agonizing about it for a bit, he decided to throw his weight around and show the Shrike family what he was made of.
“Lawrence Bourke of Somerton is here to celebrate Mr. Langley’s birthday!” came another announcement before everyone had even gotten to their seats.
Another affluent family had arrived. It was again a patriarch representing the family.
Everyone was a little dazed.
What was going on? Alvern was not that important a person, so why were there so many important people here to celebrate his birthday?
Although these families could not compare to the Wilder family, their patriarchs should not have come all the way here just to show respect for Danial by acknowledging an insignificant family.
Lawrence came in and bowed to Alvern as the others had. He smiled as he presented Alvern with his gift.
Similarly, he did not even glance at Daniel.
For a moment, everyone was confused about what was happening.
The members of the main Langley family were even more perplexed. They did not know when they had made it to such a high position in society that such important people cared about such a small event.
They were overjoyed that they were getting this kind of attention.
“Igor Tresler of Somerton is here to celebrate Mr. Langley’s birthday!” came yet another announcement.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness
Nice one...
Shitty ending but considering overall I give the book .05 out of 5 stars. You used the same plot to many times, too many translation errors, even at the end you screwed around with the font and color because who knows why, the title had nothing to do with the story do I need to continue...
Just move to the enemy and let the snipers kill him for you Dustin. Use him as your shield easy peasy Mac n cheesey....
Tell hell hall said get his ass out here now or I will kill everyone here you have 10 seconds to do what I said. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 to late...
Why does Dustin still think he owes his adoptive dad a debt? Sure he saved his life and help raise, taught martial arts etc... till his death but Dustin stayed on and put his life at risk and invested his time and money into his 5 daughters up until they came across their biological brother and kicked him out. Treat him like a thieving dog and have attempted numerous times to kill him. He finally showed some common sense by imprisoning the 1 sister and killing her cousin yet he lets the others slide. With his status and power I would have already killed them off or at the very least taken them and imprisoned them like the 1 and tortured the mom into spilling everything she knows and getting my rightful inheritance, but the author has to drag it out....
He said to mutilate the body and burn it why not start with beheading it and taking it back to show the city and place it as an offering to his family? That's what a great MC would have done....
Lame you change the name of the characters and use the same ole trope how many time are you going to use it? First it was the Langley sisters, then the McCall girl I believe this is the second or third time with Shawna. You need new material author...
Oh my not the weak who the MC showed mercy by not killing him because of some honor bound duty to a dead guy makes a comeback and forces the MC into a corner before the mc finally kills him arc 🤣...
🤣 now this is better just because I took her virginity doesn't mean I'm responsible for her. Love it....
When will he introduce his one eye willy for them to pet, stroke and kiss?...
