Greyson, who had always looked down on Jacob, suddenly found himself feeling a sense of dread.


    Oscar disyed profound respect and reverence towards his son-inw, which clearly indicated that in Oscar’s eyes, Jacob held a higher status than he did.


    Curious about Jacob’s son-inw, Greyson asked his friends for information, recalling that he had attended thest reunion. With a smile, one of them responded, “Oh, him! I think he’s an unemployed househusband, but we’re not entirely sure what he actually does for a living.”


    As a businessman, Greyson had experienced enough of life to recognize the disparities among individuals.


    Oscar’s demeanor alone suggested that Jacob’s son-inw was not someone to be underestimated. He must have aplished significant things to have earned such esteemed recognition from Oscar.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This realization filled Greyson with anxiety and fear over the repercussions of his earlier mockery of Jacob. He understood that Oscar’s respectful attitude towards Jacob implied that crossing Jacob would not end well for him.<fn3e5c> For original chapters go to Find★Novel</fn3e5c>


    With a horrified yet cautious nce at Jacob, Greyson hesitated before saying, “Hey, Jacob, I apologize for what I said earlier. I was just being overly dramatic. We’re all friends here, so I hope you won’t take it to heart. Let’s discuss it, shall we?”


    Jacob recognized that Greyson’s sudden shift in behavior stemmed from his understanding of Oscar’s respect towards him, leading him to conclude that Jacob was not someone to mess with.


    Jacob didn’t want to let Greyson off the hook easily, but Matilda interjected, “Jacob, we’re all friends. Let’s put the past behind us.”


    Reluctantly, Jacob nodded and replied to Greyson, “Alright, I’ll let it slide for Matilda’s sake. I won’t retaliate unless provoked, so if you stop irritating me, I’ll stop targeting you.”


    Normally, Greyson would have exploded in anger if someone had spoken to him like that, but right now, he dared not respond. He was on the Moore family’s turf, and Jacob had clearly earned Oscar’s respect. Making a scene here would only lead to his own downfall, so he muttered sheepishly, “Jacob, you’re the bigger man here. I’ll propose a toast to youter.”


    Witnessing Greyson’s sudden change of attitude, the other attendees recognized that Jacob had instilled fear in him. Some were even surprised to see the Moore family treating Jacob’s son-inw with such courtesy and spected what he had done to earn such an honor.


    Jacob felt a surge of confidence and pride. He was genuinely astonished that his son-inw’s reputation could still shine brightly, even in his absence.


    He was certain that his friends would think twice before underestimating him after this encounter.
