The banquet hall was brimming with guests.
Morgan led Dustin and Patricia in through the back entrance and deliberately chose a discreet spot for them to sit.
“Don’t let Uncle and the others see you, or they’ll throw you out,” Morgan said before hurrying off. She had her own duties to attend to.
As time passed, most of the guests arrived. Damien stopped greeting visitors at the door and returned to the banquet hall to mingle with the crowd.
A moment later, the frail and elderly Terry was escorted out by Damien and his brother, Percy.
Leading the way was Zack.
The entire room stood up immediately to show their respect.
They helped Terry to the seat of honor at the table. Zack took a seat beside him while Damien and Percy sat to either side.
At the back of the hall, Patricia raised her head to look at the elderly man at the seat of honor.
His frail body and vacant gaze made her heart ache.
“Dustin, my great-grandfather doesn’t seem to be reacting at all,” Patricia whispered to Dustin. She still remembered how Dustin had used some mysterious method the day before.
“Don’t worry. It takes time, probably another hour or so,” Dustin said to reassure her. Only then did Patricia relax a little.
She held onto a faint hope that once her great-grandfather regained consciousness, he could restore some fairness for her.
“Welcome, everyone, and thank you for coming to celebrate my father’s 90th birthday!” Zack said loudly and officially started the banquet.
The guests responded enthusiastically by offering their congratulations.
Zack scanned the crowd with a satisfied smile. His gaze was sharp.
In his mind’s eye, he saw the grand future of his own birthday celebration. The crowd would be filled with the most influential people in the country.
Suddenly, his eyes froze on two unwelcome figures.
Damien and Percy had spotted them, too.
Their expressions darkened slightly.
“What is Damien doing? How did those two get in here?” Zack muttered angrily.
Percy’s face turned sour, and he quickly asked Damien for an explanation.
“Dad, it was Adrian Pierce, Duscia Corporation’s general manager. He spoke up for them and let them in.”
“Adrian spoke up for them?” Zack’s brows furrowed in confusion.
“Well, since Patricia works at Duscia, it’s not surprising the manager would put in a word for her,” Percy added.
“Keep an eye on them. Don’t let them cause any trouble. Once the banquet’s over, make sure they leave immediately,” Zack ordered.
The two brothers nodded with their gazes locked onto Dustin and Patricia.

Does novel ended already? No new episode came this month...
Is the story not coming in again. It's been days now and no new chapter...
Nice one...
Shitty ending but considering overall I give the book .05 out of 5 stars. You used the same plot to many times, too many translation errors, even at the end you screwed around with the font and color because who knows why, the title had nothing to do with the story do I need to continue...
Just move to the enemy and let the snipers kill him for you Dustin. Use him as your shield easy peasy Mac n cheesey....
Tell hell hall said get his ass out here now or I will kill everyone here you have 10 seconds to do what I said. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 to late...
Why does Dustin still think he owes his adoptive dad a debt? Sure he saved his life and help raise, taught martial arts etc... till his death but Dustin stayed on and put his life at risk and invested his time and money into his 5 daughters up until they came across their biological brother and kicked him out. Treat him like a thieving dog and have attempted numerous times to kill him. He finally showed some common sense by imprisoning the 1 sister and killing her cousin yet he lets the others slide. With his status and power I would have already killed them off or at the very least taken them and imprisoned them like the 1 and tortured the mom into spilling everything she knows and getting my rightful inheritance, but the author has to drag it out....
He said to mutilate the body and burn it why not start with beheading it and taking it back to show the city and place it as an offering to his family? That's what a great MC would have done....
Lame you change the name of the characters and use the same ole trope how many time are you going to use it? First it was the Langley sisters, then the McCall girl I believe this is the second or third time with Shawna. You need new material author...
Oh my not the weak who the MC showed mercy by not killing him because of some honor bound duty to a dead guy makes a comeback and forces the MC into a corner before the mc finally kills him arc 🤣...
