Nelly began to show that she was able and virtuous. “Zephyr, this suit has a rather old design. Why don’t you get changed?”

Zephyr paused and turned to look at her with an icy stare.

Nelly dared not speak anymore and quietly drank the appetizer soup. The others dared not comment more, either.

Zephyr suddenly spoke up with a faint smile. “Grandpa, it’s our family dinner today, right?”

Liam nodded in puzzlement.

“Is it appropriate to invite an outsider since it’s a family dinner?”
