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.

Wherever Zephyr was, there was an intangible pressure. No matter how spacious and open the living room was, one found it hard to breathe.

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?”

“Really?” Zephyr looked at him. “Not to you, Uncle Matthew?”

Matthew’s heart dropped, cautious about the trap Zephyr set for him.

“You— What are you saying?” Matthew nearly choked.
