Chapter 398 A Brazen Provocation

Has Arthur returned as well? Max already knew what kind of person Arthur was, so he immediately frowned when he saw the man. "Who invited you?"

"Mom did. What's wrong? Am I not welcome here?" replied Arthur with a faint smile, seemingly unaffected by the others' emotions.

"I don't know what's on Mom's mind. She's still willing to invite you to her birthday party when you've already become like this." Max had always been straightforward, but this statement did not affect Arthur at all.

"Mom raised me. Is there any problem with her inviting me back to attend her birthday party?"

It was pointless to argue with him about such things, so Max glared at him coldly before turning back to sit on the couch.
