The third young master of the Kilgore family suddenly interjected, cing Lord Moore in a challenging predicament.


    Lord Moore was acutely aware of the Moore family’s lesser statuspared to the esteemed Kilgore family from Eastcliff. As a result, he approached the situation with utmost caution and politeness. However, his courtesy was merely a formality; it didn’t imply that he was eager to forge a rtionship with the Kilgore family.


    Having seen much in life, he could easily discern the underlying reason for the third young master’s visit today.


    Regardless of the Kilgore family’s intentions for coboration with the Moores, Lord Moore understood that the third young master likely had his sights set on his granddaughter, Jasmine.


    If this had urred in the past when the Kilgore family was considering a potential marriage alliance, Lord Moore would have been thrilled. However, his enthusiasm had waned significantly.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In Lord Moore’s eyes, the ideal candidate for his granddaughter’s future husband was none other than Master Wade, who was quietly observing from the sidelines.


    If Master Wade expressed a desire to marry Jasmine, Lord Moore would never consider trading him for even the wealthiest individual in the world.


    Moreover, it was crucial to note that Jasmine also harbored feelings for Master Wade.


    Had it not been for Master Wade’s Rejuvenating Pill, Lord Moore would have long since passed away. His current good health was a testament to that.


    To Lord Moore, no onepared to Charlie, as Charlie represented life itself—a gift more valuable than anything else.


    Watching the exchange, Theodore, standing nearby, feared his father might inadvertently offend the third young master of the Kilgore family. He quickly stepped in, saying, “Thank you so much, Master Kilgore. This gift is incredibly generous. I’m sure Jasmine will appreciate it as well. However, this child has always been a bit shy and doesn’t express herself much. So, as her uncle, I’ll graciously ept this gift on her behalf!”


    Jasmine opened her mouth to speak but was silenced by a wink from Lord Moore.


    He leaned in and whispered to her, “Let’s not be unkind to someone who means well. We’ll ept his gift now and return the favor in private after the banquet.”


    Jasmine nodded in agreement, understanding her grandfather’s wisdom.


    Subsequently, Theodore and his son, Reuben, escorted the third young master of the Kilgore family into the banquet hall to take their seats.


    The third young master appeared somewhat aloof towards everyone but acknowledged Isaac with, “Mr. Cameron, why don’t we sit together?”<fnfbe8> Newest update provided by Find★Novel</fnfbe8>


    Isaac instinctively looked for Charlie but recalled that Charlie preferred to keep his identity concealed. Thus, he felt it would be inappropriate to engage too much with him.


    Just as Isaac was about to decline the third young master’s invitation, Lord Moore interjected, “Master Wade, let’s join them.”


    The banquet hall featured six tables, with one designated as the main guest table.


    This table was reserved for entertaining the most distinguished guests, which naturally included Lord Moore, Theodore, Reuben, and Jasmine.


    The remaining seats would be allocated to other guests based on their status and influence.


    Theodore and Reuben promptly invited the third young master of the Kilgore family to join them, while Lord Moore also asked Charlie to sit at the main guest table.


    The other four seats were filled by Isaac, Doris, Travis, and Graham.


    Although Zeke was powerful and capable, he was slightly overshadowed by Graham and thus did not receive a spot at the main guest table.


    The spirited Aurora was eager to sit at the same table as Master Wade alongside her father.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
