With the table already filled, she had no choice but to sit next to X.
As the birthday banquet was about tomence, Lord Moore stood up to express his gratitude to the guests.
During his thank-you speech, Lord Moore emphasized, “I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Master Wade for taking the time to join us today to celebrate my granddaughter Jasmine’s birthday!”
The moment Lord Moore uttered these words, the third young master of the Kilgore family, seated at the main guest table, felt his face darken.
What was happening?!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Did Lord Moore trulyckmon sense? He hade all this way for his granddaughter’s celebration, yet he couldn’t even prioritize him in his acknowledgments?
As these thoughts crossed his mind, he couldn’t help but steal a nce at Charlie, who was also at the main guest table.
The kid appeared so ordinary and unremarkable. It baffled him why Lord Moore seemed to hold him in such high regard.
After thanking Charlie, Lord Moore finally acknowledged the third young master of the Kilgore family for attending.
At this point, the third young master couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. How could someone like Charlie, with no discernible reputation, overshadow him?
By this time, Lord Moore had concluded his speech, and it was Jasmine’s turn to express her gratitude to the guests.
In a manner befitting her status, Jasmine, with grace and poise, began her thank-you speech by addressing Charlie first.
With her big, expressive eyes fixed on Charlie, she earnestly stated, “Thank you, Master Wade, for making time in your busy schedule to attend my birthday banquet. It truly means a lot to me.”
Following her acknowledgment of Charlie, Jasmine continued, “In addition to thanking Master Wade, I also want to express my gratitude to all my friends and everyone present today. Thank you for being here.”
Once she finished speaking, Jasmine bowed to the crowd.
At this moment, the third young master of the Kilgore family was seething with rage.<fn180e> Content originallyes from Find1Novel</fn180e>
Though he was the second person mentioned by Lord Moore, Jasmine had not even taken the time to mention his name specifically, treating him as just another guest. This omission infuriated him.
In his frustration, he leaned over to Reuben, who was seated beside him, and whispered, “What’s Charlie’s background?”
Reuben, harboring his own grievances against Charlie but too intimidated to confront him, quickly replied, “Charlie is quite well-known in Aurous Hill as a live-in son-inw. He’s also recognized as a Feng Shui master and has a reputation for his skills in concocting medicine. That’s why people refer to him as Master Wade.”
The third young master of the Kilgore family couldn’t help but scoff at this. “Master Wade? Just because he dabbles in Feng Shui and medicine, he calls himself a master? If he were in Eastcliff, he would have been eliminated long ago!”
Reuben hastily agreed, “You’re absolutely right, Master Kilgore. Aurous Hill may be small, but it’s filled with shallow minds. Some even dare to call themselves The True Dragon.”
“The True Dragon?” The third young master snorted dismissively, raising an eyebrow. “Does this Charlie im to be The True Dragon?”
Reuben replied quietly, “I’m not sure if he asserts it himself, but many in Aurous Hill refer to him as The True Dragon, Master Wade.”
The third young master sneered, “He’s The True Dragon? I, Sam Kilgore, am a dragon from the Kilgore family in Eastcliff! Today, I want to see what this so-called True Dragon is really made of!”
Reuben continued to tter him, saying, “Charlie wouldn’t stand a chance against you. He wouldn’t even measure up to a single strand of your hair.”
“Of course not.” The third young master nced at Charlie, feeling a swell of arrogance. In his mind, he thought, ‘This pathetic nobody from a small ce dares to steal my spotlight? I’ll unleash my wrath today! I’ll show these old fools in Aurous Hill exactly who The True Dragon is!’
