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.

Meanwhile, Arthur raised his head and casually glanced at Elspeth, who was standing not far away. "Long time no see, Elspeth," he said smilingly.

Elspeth put on a fake smile and replied, "That's not quite true. We just met two days ago, after all."

The group's conversation was extremely awkward, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Just then, Yelena arrived. When she saw the group of people sitting on the couch while looking at each other awkwardly, she was slightly startled and didn't say anything. "Why are there so many people here? Am I late?"

Her sudden appearance happened to resolve the awkwardness there.
