Wearing a set of casual clothes, Kevin held a glass of Cabernet Gernischt and nodded with a smile. "Sorry for the interruption. I hope you don't mind?"

With that, he glanced around the room inconspicuously, but his gaze was retracted in disappointment shortly after.

In two days' time, he will be a favorite among the higher-ups of Paramount Chamber of Commerce - no, I should say that he will be promoted to be a supervisor instead. Colin nodded profusely as he looked at Kevin. "No worries at all! If I knew you were here, I would be heading over to greet you instead, Mr. Chegg!"

"We are colleagues after all; you are simply too polite if you do that!" Kevin let out a hearty laughter, making the others in the room feel more at ease.

"Kev…" Mr. Vasquez looked at him, who nodded before he asked Colin directly, "Colin, do you know Jacob?"

Jacob?

Everyone exchanged looks awkwardly as they thought, Could it be that the Mondez family knew he's back, and they sent someone after him?

Colin replied hesitantly, "I wonder how Jacob is related to you, Mr. Chegg."

Kevin was quite delighted to see his reaction, but just as he was about to say something, another figure appeared out of nowhere from the dinner table, sending him a jolt of surprise.

"I know Jacob! He was here just now, and I bet he's not gone far yet!" Matt said furiously with reddened eyes. "If you want to find him to settle a score, I'm sure you are still able to catch him!"

Even though he was hit by a wine bottle just now, Jacob lessened his strength right before the blow landed on Matt's head just so that Matt would not lose his dear life.

Settle a score? Catch him? Kevin's eyebrows twitched slightly. Is this guy drunk?

With a dark look on his face, Colin grabbed Matt's elbows and gave him a fierce stare before he turned back to smile wryly at Kevin. "Mr. Chegg, I'm sorry about this. This classmate of mine drank too much, and he was just saying nonsense just now. Please don't treat him seriously."

"Don't pull me, Colin!" While trying to escape from Colin's grip, he complained with a flushed face. "Does that guy think he can just leave after hitting me? Hmph! In his dreams!"

Kevin's gaze darkened when he looked at Matt in front of him, whose head was covered in blood as he reeked of alcohol. "If you're referring to Jacob, who left six years ago, it's regrettable to tell you that I'm his uncle, his father's cousin!"
