Chapter 94 - 94 Birthday Banquet_i



After lunch, Greg Jensen watched another movie with the two sisters.

By the time the movie ended, he was covered in sweat.

Today, Lois Abbott was too forthright, showing little regard for her sister Lois sitting beside her. Taking advantage of the dim light in the theater, she occasionally teased him, leaving Greg feeling agitated and uncomfortably hot. “Finally, it’s over.”

Breathing in the fresh air outside, Greg let out a long sigh of relief.

Lois, feigning ignorance, asked, “What’s wrong? Was the movie not good?” “Good? It was very good.”

Greg looked speechlessly at Lois, who had promptly hidden behind her sister, the shy look on her face a stark contrast to her earlier boldness.

“Alright, let’s go home first, get changed, and then head over so we don’t keep Uncle Alfred waiting.”

“Mmm.”

The three of them returned to Love Home Garden, took showers, changed clothes, and then hurried to Reverie Inn.

“General Manager Greg, General Manager Lois, the boss and the others have already arrived and are waiting for you in Room 888.”

“Okay, got it.”

Alfred Webb was not at the age for a significant birthday celebration, so he just invited some relatives without making a big fuss.

The three entered the room and saw Heather Crowe, Lois’s stepmother, sitting beside Alfred Webb, chatting with a smile.

Apart from them, there were four men and two women present in the room. Two of the figures were elderly with graying hair, probably Heather’s parents. The other four individuals, who appeared to be around Heather’s age and bore a resemblance to her, Greg guessed might be her siblings.

He gathered as much because Lois had told him that Alfred Webb was an only child, whereas Heather had an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister.

“Greg’s here, come take a seat.”

Seeing the three enter, Alfred Webb’s face immediately brightened with a happy smile.

“Our Abbott family’s two jewels have arrived; come sit by your father. I was just talking about you girls with your uncles and aunts…”

Heather warmed up to Lois and Lois, her enthusiasm showing no signs of the usual tension between them.

Lois extricated herself subtly and sat down with a cool expression elsewhere. Seeing this, Lois followed and sat next to her sister.

Alfred Webb’s forehead creased at the sight, “What’s the matter with you two?” “It’s nothing, nothing, they’re just kids,” Heather said with an awkward smile. The elder with graying hair looked displeased and sized Greg up, asking, “And this is…”

“Oh, this is Little Lois’s boyfriend, Greg.”

Heather quickly introduced with a smile, “Greg, this is my father, Asthon

Crowe, my brother Zac, my elder brother Darius, my sister-in-law…”

Since Lois and her sister did not like Heather and her family, Greg wasn’t sure how to address them and merely nodded with a smile.

Perhaps because Greg didn’t greet them himself, Asthon Crowe’s face grew so dark it seemed it could almost drip with displeasure.

Jasmine Lampe, Heather’s mother, also had a stern expression, looking as though someone owed her money.

“What’s with you, young man? Don’t you know the first thing about manners?” Zac glowered.

Lois, already discontent that her father’s birthday had brought these irritating people together, and upon hearing his remark, immediately retorted angrily: “What do you mean manners? I’m not familiar with you, so why should my boyfriend greet you?”

“You…”

Zac’s expression froze, and he turned to Jasmine Lampe, “Mom, look at her…” Jasmine Lampe became incensed when she saw her precious son being bullied and said in a sarcastic tone, “Adeline, your family’s home education is really impressive.

Xiaojun is, after all, her uncle, and this is how she speaks to her elders?”

Alfred Webb looked at Greg Jensen with an apologetic expression, “Greg, I’m sorry. Xiaojun just blurted it out; please don’t take it to heart.”

Hearing his words, the Crowe family members were all stunned, especially Jasmine, who wore a look of disbelief on her face.

Alfred Webb was significantly older than Heather, amounting to an older husband and a young wife arrangement and would usually show a great deal of respect to his mother-in-law.

Under normal circumstances, he would have scolded Lois a few times as a way of giving face to his mother-in-law.

But today, Alfred Webb acted as though he hadn’t heard and, instead of scolding Lois, he started apologizing to Greg Jensen.

What was going on?

What was so special about this guy that made Alfred Webb take him so seriously?

Jasmine turned her head in confusion, only to see Lois looking at her with contempt, her lips revealing a hint of a cold smirk.

She suddenly felt a surge of anger and snorted, “Adeline, Xiaojun has found a job.”

Alfred Webb’s eyes lit up, “Really? That’s great! Where is he going to work?”

“At the Inspectorate, of course!”

Jasmine looked proudly at Zac and said smugly, “Xiaojun’s dream has always been to become an inspector, and now he has finally realized it.”

Alfred Webb laughed heartily, “Haha, that’s fantastic, congratulations…”

It was then that Anna Crowe, Heather’s sister who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly interjected, “Is verbal congratulations all you’ve got?”

Charlotte Simmons, Heather’s sister-in-law, also chimed in, “Exactly, you as a big boss should offer more than just words, give something substantial.”

A look of disdain appeared on the faces of the Crowe Family members.

Alfred Webb didn’t feel embarrassed at all and laughed heartily, “You’re absolutely right. For such a happy event, how can I just offer congratulations with words? Something substantial is in order.”

He pondered aloud, “Xiaojun doesn’t have a car yet, does he? Well, the Camry has just been released. Tomorrow, have your sister bring you to pick one up.” A Camry?

Wow, that was generous.

Greg couldn’t help but inwardly whistle; a fully equipped Camry would cost over three hundred thousand, and Alfred Webb didn’t even blink, casually offering it as a gift.

“A Camry? I don’t want that junk. I like SUVs.”

Zac scoffed dismissively and suddenly turned to Lois with a smile, “I think Lois’s two Jeep Wranglers are quite nice. Why not buy her a Camry, and I’ll take one of her Wranglers?

Her car is already modified, which saves me the bother of doing it myself.”

“In your dreams!”

Lois immediately changed her expression and glared angrily at Zac, “That was a birthday gift from my dad!”

Greg also frowned.

A Jeep Wrangler, plus all the modifications, would cost roughly six to eight hundred thousand.

The Crowe family was outrageous over three hundred thousand for a Camry wasn’t enough; they even coveted Lois’s Jeep Wrangler.

They were shameless!

“Mom…”

The twenty-something Zac, a real mama’s boy, turned immediately to Jasmine after being rejected by Lois.

Jasmine gave him a look, signaling him not to worry and then turned to Alfred Webb, “Adeline, it’s just a car. We are all family here, might as well share it.” “That’s right. Besides, 1 see that Lois doesn’t drive it much, so it’s better to let Xiaojun have it,” Charlotte added.

Alfred Webb didn’t say a word, his expressionless gaze moved from Jasmine to Zac, then turned to Heather..
