Chapter 24 The Upcoming Dinner

On top of everything else, she was expected to apologize to Serena.

Amber clenched her palm tightly, her lips paling from tension.

Trevor noticed and felt a pang of sympathy.

Deanna, knowing her son far too well, worried he might say something else to irritate Bryce. She shot him a sharp warning glance. “Trevor, listen to your dad.”

Trevor inhaled deeply and muttered, “Understood.”

Gradually, the tension in the room began to ease.

Bryce let out a derisive snort. “Aren’t you going to thank your uncle, Trevor? What would you have done if he hadn’t stepped in?”

Trevor’s chest tightened, and he ground his teeth before forcing out, “Thanks, Uncle Sebastian.”

Sebastian sipped his water slowly. “There’s no need. If a thank–you isn’t sincere, it means nothing.” He smirked, eyes glinting with mockery. “I’ve been away for five years, and it seems some things have truly changed since then.”

After saying that, he rose and made his way upstairs.

Bryce let out another snort before trailing after him.

Once they were gone from the dining room, Nathan turned to his son, both furious and disappointed. “Trevor, do you realize what you just did? You’ve got some nerve, huh? Bold enough now to challenge your uncle?”

After delivering his reprimand, he went upstairs as well.

Worried her son might not take the lesson to heart, Deanna decided to call Serena herself.

Trevor lowered his eyes to his sister. “Amber, I’m sorry you had to endure that.”

Amber shook her head slightly. “Trevor, I’m sorry you got yelled at because of me again.”

Trevor didn’t mind the scolding. What frustrated him was how the family treated his little sister.

His irritation toward Serena was even stronger.

‘Tomorrow, I’ll be here with you. No one’s going to push you around.”

He ruffled Amber’s silky hair, protective and tender. “Weren’t you hoping to get into showbiz? I’ve put together the perfect team to produce a solo album just for you. Consider it a little gift to make up for the past few days, alright?”

Amber’s gloom vanished like storm clouds after rain. Her eyes sparkled. “Really, Trevor?”

“Of course,” he said with a gentle smile, gaze lowered. “Someone like you will be seen by everyone, and everyone will love you

Deanna called Serena to invite her to dinner at the Levine residence the next day. However, Serena already had a business dinner

Despite this, Deanna’s former almost–mother–in–law was unusually insistent and suggested rescheduling for the following day. Serena couldn’t refuse and had to agree.

In Bryce’s study, Sebastian and Nathan were both present.

“Seb, don’t get worked up over that kid. I’ll take care of him,” Nathan said.

Sebastian lowered his chin, his expression unreadable. “Nathan, I seldom lose my temper with juniors.

“But Trevor crosses the line sometimes. Everything has rules and etiquette, and I don’t want outsiders criticizing our family. Don’t you agree?”

Though Nathan was twelve years older, he often appeared younger than Sebastian in his presence.

“You’re right, Seb. I’ll manage him privately.”

At that moment, Deanna entered carrying fruits for the men. “Bryce, Sebastian, I just called Rena. She has a business dinner tomorrow, so we moved ours to the day after.”

“That works,” Bryce replied.

Sebastian’s face remained neutral, only a subtle twitch of his eyebrows betraying his thoughts.

He rose, voice calm and composed. “Dad, Nathan, Deanna, I have plans later, so I’ll leave now. I’ll return the day after to dine with you. I won’t be here tomorrow.”

Bryce had intended to keep him to discuss the blind date, but Sebastian slipped away regardless.

“Go ahead then,” Bryce waved a hand. “Take it easy on the drinks–your stomach can’t handle it.”

Sebastian bowed slightly. “Understood, Dad.”
