I ignored the guests present. Under their strange gazes, I went to the buffet table and picked out the food I favored to savor.

Just at this moment, today's protagonist appeared.

Aleena took Darian's arm and walked to me with Haghen.

Haghen looked at me with disdain and said, "Are you wearing such outfit to attend my birthday party? Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

I dressed in ordinary casual clothes. Although not as good as the suits and ties of other guests, I was still quite clean and tidy.

I did not think there was anything wrong with it, but Haghen looked quite unpleasant.

To be honest, even if I dressed up in elegant suit and tie, it would be impossible for Haghen and others to find it pleasing.

I said calmly, "I've been quite poor lately. I can't afford high-end shoes and clothes."

Haghen looked at me with even more contempt. Before he could say more words, Aleena said coldly, "Hansel, I'm letting you attend Haghen's birthday party to give you face, so don't make any disgraceful things."

Looking at the woman who once promised to grow old with me and made a vow of love to me, I could not help feeling a little emotional.

Back then, I was too naive about love and failed to see Aleena's true face earlier.

Whenever I thought of the time when she took out the divorce agreement and threw it in my face without hesitation and when I thought of how I was filled with sorrow and wanted to jump into the river, I felt that I was so stupid.

The sincerity I gave back then should just be considered as feeding the dog!

Darian looked at me with a smile and said, "I haven't heard from you in these years. I thought you couldn't bear the blow you suffered and chose to commit suicide."

"After ten years, we brothers meet again. My parents must be very happy if they are still alive."

I gave him a cold look and said in a calm voice, "I heard that after I was kicked out of the house, the Quinndom Group has been losing money every year under your leadership, almost to the point of selling the Quinn's house."

"I wonder what Mom and Dad would think if they were still alive!"

A cold anger flashed through Darian's eyes, but he held back and said, "What happened back then was a misunderstanding."

"I have figured it out over the years. I am planning to let you rejoin the Quinndom Group and give you the position of vice president!"

Aleena continued. "Darian is magnanimous. He doesn't care about the conflicts between you and him back then. You should stop being so pretentious."

"Judging from the cheap clothes you're wearing. you must have had a hard time these years!"

"Being able to become the vice president of Quinndom Group is absolutely pie in the sky for you."

"Of course, there is still a condition for being the vice president of the Quinndom Group."

I looked at the husband and wife coldly as they performed a duet in front of me and said calmly, "What are the conditions? Tell me!"

Darian cleared his throat and said, "I heard that you have some friendship with Mr. Etheridge from the Ethereal Group? Is that true?"

I nodded and responded casually, "He's an ordinary friend, we've met a few times."

Darian's eyes lit up and he said, "As long as you can get Mr. Etheridge to invest more than sixty-eight million dollars in our company, the position of vice president of the Quinndom Group will be yours."

Hearing this, I almost burst into laughter.

Not to mention the current Quinndom Group, even when the Quinndom Group was at its peak ten years ago, a vice president position was not worth so much money.

Sixty-eight million dollars investment for the position of Vice President of Quinndom Group?

Did Darian and the others think I was a fool?

Before I could respond, a loud noise came from behind me.

A middle-aged man with a big belly walked over and many guests hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Seeing the fat middle-aged man, his eyes suddenly lit up. He left me and hurried over to the man.

Darian smiled brightly and said in a slightly humble and flattering tone, "Mr. Garfield, you are finally here."

"It is such an honor for me that you can take time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's birthday party."

Not only Darian, but also Aleena and our son acted fawning and licking in front of Martin Garfield.

Many guests were whispering to each other.

"Although the Quinndom Group has gradually declined over the years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse."

"The Vice President of the Ethereal Group, Martin Garfield, even come here. Does this mean that the Quinndom Group has established a connection with the Ethereal Group?"

"If that's the case, then the Quinndom Group is likely to be reborn from the ashes. Who doesn't know that Ethereal Group is a huge company? As long as they can hold onto Ethereal Group's thigh tightly, they can fly up."

"Even though Martin is the Vice President of Ethereal Group, he only holds a temporary position and does not have much real power. If it weren't for him being the nephew of Kyler Etheridge, how could he have become the Vice President of Ethereal Group?"

"That's also his ability. If you have the ability, go find an uncle who is born rich!"

Martin was very arrogant. He shook hands with Darian and said calmly, "Mr. Quinn, I'm busy, I don't have much time. Let's sign the contract first!"

"After signing the contract, I'll go back and tell my uncle about investing in your company. How about that?"

Darian was a little hesitant.

Aleena hurriedly said, "No problem, we can sign the contract now."

After that, she whispered to Darian. "If we can't seize this opportunity, the Quinndom Group will really be finished."

"The Quinns' manor is not very useful to us. Even if we sell it at a high price, we can only get fourteen million dollars at most, which is not enough for the company's capital operation."

"Although Mr. Garfield has lowered the price of the manor and only offered one million four hundred thousand dollars, as long as he can convince Mr. Etheridge to invest in our company, all of this doesn't matter!"

Haghen also advised Darian, saying, "Dad, if our company goes bankrupt, it's useless to keep this house!"

"I don't want to live a poor life. You promised me that you would buy me a luxury car and a mansion after my seventeen birthday."

Darian excitedly nodded and said to Martin with a smile, "Okay, since Mr. Garfield has said so, I won't say much."

Martin smiled proudly, took out a contract to purchase the Quinn Family's manor and asked Darian to sign it.

I, who had been silent the whole time, said in a deep voice, "This manor is the ancestral property of the Quinns. Even if our parents were in the most difficult times, they never thought of selling it!"

"Darian, are you going to sell it for only one million four hundred thousand dollars?"

"If the ancestors of the Quinns knew about it, I'm afraid their graves would explode with anger."

Hearing this, Darian was furious and shouted at me. "Hansel, shut up!"

"You're just an adopted son and you dare to teach me a lesson?"

The Quinns’ manor is my property under my name. I can sell it if I want. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will have someone kick you out right now!"

Aleena and Haghen also glared at me, as if I had cut off their financial path.

Before, they were counting on me to connect the Quinn Family with the Ethereal Group. But after seeing Martin, they felt that I had no use and could be discarded at will.

Just as decisive as when they kicked me out of the house!

They were so realistic!

Martin glanced at me and snorted. "Are you the adopted son, Hansel, who was kicked out of the Quinns back then?"

"You are not the one who is in charge of the Quinns, so what qualifications do you have to butt in?"

"Get out of here!"

Looking at the arrogant Vice President of Ethereal Group, I felt a sense of emotion in my heart.

Kyler mentioned Martin to me. Even though Martin was his nephew, he was still annoyed with him.

If Kyler had not asked him to help take care of Martin when his older sister passed away, Kyler would have kicked Martin out of the Ethereal Group long ago.

Seeing Darian sign the contract to purchase the Quinn Family's ancestral manor, I frowned and said to him, "Does Kyler know about the purchase of the Quinns' manor at a lower price?"

"Are you not afraid of your uncle's punishment after you do this behind his back?"

Martin got angry and gave me a fierce glare, saying to Darian, "Mr. Quinn, what your brother said makes me quite uncomfortable."

Darian gritted his teeth and stared at me angrily. "Hansel, can't you understand human language?"

"You intentionally provoked Mr. Garfield and disrupted the cooperation between our family and Mr. Garfield. You just don't want to see our family live a good life, right?"

"I shouldn't have agreed to let you attend this birthday party. Someone, break this guy's legs and throw him out."

As soon as he finished speaking, some relatives of the Quinn Family walked towards me with unfriendly expressions.

Aleena and Haghen glared at me, cursing and preparing to attack me.

In the moment, an angry shout came from the entrance of the Quinn Family's manor.

"Stop!"

In the next second, Kyler walked in with a group of people.

The people behind Kyler were all top bosses and experts in the industry and also members of our community.

Seeing this scene, I rolled my eyes and felt helpless.

Today was the day of the community's gathering party. I had already told Kyler not to tell those bastards that I came to the Quinn Family today.

Kyler clearly did not listen to my words.

He deliberately brought those bastards here to join in the fun!

Kyler and the others raised their eyebrows at me, with a hidden smile.

Kyler said to his nephew, who looked pale, "Mr. Garfield, you are so arrogant and presumptuous, using my name to bully others!"
