Jasmine was undoubtedly the ideal choice for Donald’s son!


    However, Donald found himself feeling hesitant and unsure as he contemted this possibility.


    The mood shifted to an ufortable silence following Donald’s somber demeanor.


    Reuben, witnessing the awkwardness unfold, discreetly clenched his fists in frustration.


    If both families ended up in conflict, it could create an irreparable rift, or worse, lead them to turn against one another. Such a scenario would be a significant setback for the Moore family!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Moreover, it would make Jasmine even less likely to marry Sean!


    If Jasmine were to reject Sean, his future as the heir would be in jeopardy!


    Even if he were to be the head of the family, Jasmine could still have a stake in the family’s inheritance!


    He was resolute in preventing Jasmine from aligning with the Moore family, which meant he would strongly oppose her marrying Charlie and allowing him to reside in their home!


    To diffuse the situation, he quickly rose and said, “Hey, Uncle Webb, Sean, today marks my grandfather’s birthday, making him the center of attention. Let’s remain calm and enjoy this celebration, and not jeopardize our friendly rtions.”


    Reuben was attempting to create an opportunity for everyone to rx and ease the tension.


    Despite his efforts, Donald remained in a dark mood. He didn’t want to sour the rtionship between the two families, yet he was still seething from the embarrassment he felt.


    As the saying goes, ‘you can’t sell the cow and drink the milk,’ yet Lord Moore wished to have both. If forced to choose, he would undoubtedly opt for Charlie. But since he didn’t have to make that choice, he wanted both options avable to him.


    Thus, Reuben’s timely intervention offered a chance for both men to temporarily mend their differences.


    Clearing his throat, Donald began, “Reuben is correct. Today is Uncle Moore’s 80th birthday, and I don’t want to spoil it. Uncle, I apologize for my earlier outburst; I was overly hasty. I hope you can forgive me!”


    With this, he not only provided an escape for himself but also for Lord Moore.


    As a younger member of the family, he took the initiative to apologize in light of Lord Moore’s birthday, demonstrating respect for the elder while preserving his own dignity.


    In his view, the best course of action was to smooth over the conflict with Lord Moore for the time being. As for Charlie, he had countless ways to deal with him after the celebration!


    A warm smile began to spread across Lord Moore’s face as he nodded, saying, “Indeed, harmony leads to prosperity. I don’t want anyone to feel ufortable on such a joyous asion.”


    He then turned to Charlie and asked, “Master Wade, what are your thoughts?”


    Although Charlie found Donald and Sean distasteful, he didn’t want Lord Moore to intervene on his behalf. He preferred to handle the situation with them himself.


    However, given that it was Lord Moore’s birthday celebration, he didn’t see the need to create a disruption in front of the other guests. Even if he wanted to confront them, it should be done outside of the festivities out of respect for the host.


    Thus, he replied coolly, “Lord Moore, it’s your day; the final decision rests with you.”


    Lord Moore chuckled heartily and said, “Ah, it’s simply a misunderstanding. I’m d we can resolve it! Now, let’s head to the banquet hall, as the party is about tomence!”


    Meanwhile, Sean’s simmering resentment and anger were palpable as he shot fiery res at Charlie, yet he felt powerless to act since the adults had reached an agreement.


    With a scowl directed at Charlie, he silently vowed, ‘You’ll regret this soon enough!’<fn129d> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fn129d>
