Chapter 27 He Is My Fiancé

"They better come..." Sharon spoke again.

"Mrs Knight, if this isn't resolved by tomorrow, you can go then," Billy said. "Plus, aren't we supposed to be going to the Knight family's birthday celebration soon?"

"Dad, I don't want to go to Grandpa's house. I don't wanna go there..." Tasha shook her head vigorously against Billy's shoulder as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Tasha, I promise that no one will dare bully you again this time." Billy gently patted Tasha's back.

"I don't wanna go there!" Tasha choked up.

"Tasha, be good!" Harleen felt a pang of heartache seeing his daughter like this and took her from Billy into his arms. "Mom and Dad will accompany you this time, don't be afraid, okay?"

"Tasha, didn't they say that you didn't have a dad? This is your chance to show them that your dad is back." Felicia chimed in from the side. "Tell them not to talk about you anymore."

Tasha stopped crying and said determinedly, "I'll tell them that I have a dad and he's a great hero!"

"Yes! Good girl!" Felicia smiled at her.

Sharon opened her mouth wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent.

At 5:30 PM, they arrived at a restaurant in downtown Ozin City. The Knight family was hosting Zeph Knight's birthday banquet here.

As they designated a private room, they looked around and saw that there were three tables in total. Many people were already seated, and Zeph was sitting at the host's seat.

"Hey, Uncle, you guys came! I thought you didn't have enough money for transportation and wouldn't come to Grandpa's birthday banquet this year!" At the main table, a heavily made-up woman said in a strange tone. Her age was similar to Harleen's. She was good-looking, with a curvy figure, wearing heavy makeup on her face. The woman was Beatrice Knight, the daughter of Harleen's uncle.

Sitting next to her was a young man in his late twenties, dressed in designer clothes with slicked-back hair and a powdered face, wearing an expression of arrogance as if no one else mattered.

"Who is he?" After Beatrice finished speaking, her eyes landed on Billy who was holding Tasha behind her. After a slight pause, she spoke up, "Harleen, is this your new paramour? You are going backwards as you live your life, look at who you have chosen to be with! He looks like a poor guy."

"Beatrice shut up!" Harleen responded angrily.

"Come on, don't worry about what people say, okay?"

"You're not allowed to speak about my dad like that, dad is a great hero!" Tasha exclaimed angrily.

"Little Bastard, shut up! You don't even know who your dad is!" Beatrice scolded loudly.

Tasha burst into tears, "... Bad woman! I'm never going to talk to you again..."

"What a little bastard!" Beatrice sneered.
