Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 357 Reckless Coerced Drinking

Joel was all playful smiles as he spoke, revealing the gap in his teeth.

Huxley glared at him and reprimanded, “Dr. Gilbert came all the way here because he thinks highly of us. Sure, he gave us a few thousand but how much did you contribute?!”

Joel backtracked. “I was just joking. Why are you getting so riled up? Come, let’s drink!”

Huxley ignored him.

Joel, however, continued to persuade him to drink with words implying that he wouldn’t forgive him if he didn’t drink and that even the clinking of wine glasses would be enough!

Huxley was a fool who caved in because he didn’t want to argue with a relative. They were, after all, going to see each other often in the coming days. He took a small sip.

Ruby, who witnessed it, was angered and began to chew Joel out.

Joel threw an arm around Huxley’s shoulder. “Uncle Huk and I are getting along just fine over here. What is he supposed to eat if everything is bad? I even gave him our family’s own medicinal wine. It’s good for the body!”

“Look at how rosy he looks now!”

He didn’t take her seriously at all and only saw Ruby as someone making a big deal but of nothing. She clearly looked down on him!

Ruby was about to throw a fit but her cousin stopped her. “Forget it. Uncle Hux is doing just fine. He was just trying to ask him for forgiveness. He doesn’t have any bad intentions…”

She huffed in vexation and disappeared back into the kitchen.

Everyone let loose after Gilbert left and drank themselves silly. Joel turned to a little boy who was enjoying his chicken, and said with a smile, “Hey, Johnny. Are you thirsty? Come, I’ll get you a drink.”

The child, in his curiosity, took a big gulp from excitement, only to burst into tears when the bitter wine went down his throat.

The entire family fell into chaos. The child’s mother was Ruby’s cousin who was busying herself in the kitchen. She went off on Joel.

“Are you crazy? Stop tricking children into drinking wine!”

Joel didn’t seem to care at all. “Men would have to drink sooner or later. Isn’t it better for him to start young?”

He found amusement in watching the child wail. Ruby cousin couldn’t be bothered to argue and left with -the child.
