The Proctor family's party received many guests, far more than those attending Master Proctor's birthday banquet last year.

However, the biggest surprise was Jeffery Proctor, who was always reclusive and never showed up in front of so many people.

But this time, he always stayed by Master Proctor's side.

What was more, Master Proctor was ona crutch, but he looked very spirited as he introduced Jeffery Proctor to the guests one after another.

He almost kept repeating the same greetings, "Jeffery was not well a few years ago and had been recuperating at home; but now he is much better.

If you have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I hope you can be ready to help him when necessary."

Not far away, William Hood was holding a glass of wine, whispering, "It looks like Master Proctor is determined to secure Jeffery Proctor's position in the Proctor Group this time"

Dean Wilson tsked, "He has to, as there's no other way out.It's already a total mess over in London"

Sharon Allyson looked at Jeffery Proctor sitting silently in his wheelchair by Master Proctor's side.She felt that he was as cold as a puppet at Master Proctor's mercy.She frowned gently, "Jeffery Proctor seemed unwilling."

William Hood said, "Righto.If he were interested in the Proctor Group, he wouldn't have waited until now."

Sharon Allyson said, "But if Master Proctor keeps him around him, there will be no way for us to approach Jeffery."

Dean Wilson took a sip of champagne from his glass, "We can't just wait around.Let me try"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he stepped forward and walked up to Master Proctor, beaming slightly, "Uncle Proctor."

Master Proctor was smiling and talking to the person next to him.

When he turned his eyes and saw Dean, his face sank as he said coolly, "It's you! When did you come back?"

"It's been a while."

Dean Wilson looked at Jeffery Proctor, "I heard that Brother Jeffery was injured; was it serious?"

Jeffery Proctor shook his head gently and spoke for the first time tonight, "Nothing serious."

Dean Wilson made an "oops" sound.

Then, he went closer to check, "There's still broken skin on your forehead.Please take care and don't get infected."

Just as they were chatting, someone came up from behind and, as if by mistake, splashed a whole glass of champagne onto Jeffery Proctor.

Not far away.
