Sophia was criticizing them in her heart. On the other side, Nathan was clinging onto her, as if afraid that he might lose her. Earlier, Michael told him that if Joel seduced Sophia, Nathan wouldn’t have a mother anymore! She was holding onto Nathan tightly as well while exclaiming in her trembling heart, Nate, I will protect you! I won’t let the Devil lay a finger on you!
Suddenly, she heard the sound of leather shoes tapping against the ground in rapid succession. The door to the main entrance of the restaurant opened again before three men walked into the restaurant—one after another. As soon as they entered, the whole restaurant felt dazzling and brilliant as if they exuded an unusual aura.
Michael walked into the restaurant and saw the meticulously prepared but half-eaten candlelight dinner. However, he did not stop walking and made his way to the table like a gentleman instead. “It seems like I’m not that late. Server, I’d like to have the menu, please.”
Sophia was delighted to see her savior and walked toward Michael with excitement. Sob, sob, sob… Save me! Joel almost took advantage of me earlier! Now that the real master is here, you all should air your grievances and resolve it among yourselves.
“I didn’t expect you guys to show up tonight.” What is going on? Didn’t I issue a command for them to be barred from the building?! How did they manage to enter the ground floor of the restaurant?
Harry was just behind Michael. Having grown up together with Michael, he had experienced firsthand the gratitude and grudges between Joel and Michael.
Once upon a time ago, when Michael hit rock bottom and was left with almost nothing, Joel had been cruel enough to snatch the last precious thing that the former had. Once an outstanding genius in all aspects was to show up in a family, the said person would become their peers’ worst nightmare—this was especially true for the second best.
Michael was the genius whereas Joel was the second best! It was no longer a nightmare, but rather an unshakeable hatred for them both. Hence, Joel wanted nothing more than to snatch everything that belonged to Michael.
He was discontented after Michael had been transferred to the army with literary pursuits before finally leaving the military and would never compete with him again.
Harry found his seat and sat down while casually tugging his necktie in front of his chest. “Didn’t we agree to have a meal with the student who received the first place for military training this year? Joel, why did you sneak here alone?”
Stanley approached them to join in the fun as well. “That’s right; Uncle Joel, you’re not being honest. You didn’t even inform me! Hmph, you too, Sophia! Please don’t be delusional to think that you are able to snatch my idol just because you received the first place this year!”
The atmosphere is intense and the battle is about to start! Oh, my, this is exciting! They have already started to diss each other! Sophia chuckled politely while taking Nathan to stay farther away from those group of people.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward—Michael took Sophia’s seat from earlier whereas Joel took the seat across him. As they exchanged glances at each other, it felt as if sparks flew with a murderous aura surrounding them. Even Sophia, who was at a distance, could still sense the bone-chilling aura from them and wanted nothing more than to immediately leave!
