Chapter 899: Let Me Introduce My Husband, Jared

Grandpa Pace sat at the head of the table. One side could seat four people, and naturally, Ruud, Alina, Jared, and Tina chose to sit together, leaving the other side temporarily unoccupied. Before long, Boris and Edwin entered. Even Edwin, who was usually busy and rarely home, had made the effort to return for dinner tonight.

Tina's gaze discreetly landed on Boris. Recently, her people had reported that Boris had been busy searching for something. She was curious-what was he trying to find? Could he succeed? And more importantly, would Claudia be dragged into it?

As soon as Boris walked in, he forced a guilty smile. "Brother, Dad, I just ran into Edwin as I walked in. What a coincidence!"

Grandpa Pace didn't respond much, only stating in a deep voice, "Take your seats. And call Mia down to join us for dinner."

Mia descended the stairs slowly, one step at a time, exuding an air of elegance. She took her seat to Grandpa Pace's right, her piercing gaze sweeping over every member of the Pace family.

When her eyes landed on Jared, her brows furrowed deeply, the wrinkles on her face forming sharp creases. Her voice was low and displeased. "It's a family dinner, after all. I've just returned, and for my first meal back, you bring along someone I don't know."

The atmosphere immediately became tense.

Tina's eyes turned icy, sharp as a blade, as she spoke. "Let me introduce him-Jared, my husband."

This was the first time Tina had publicly referred to Jared as her husband in front of others. Previously, she always called him "Uncle."

To Tina, it had been just a title, something insignificant. But since someone clearly wanted to pick a fight over it, she wasn't going to let them have their way.

Mia chuckled coldly, her expression dark as she eyed Tina. "I barely said a word, and you're already rushing to defend him. If something were to happen to the Pace family in the future and they needed your support, would your loyalties lie entirely with him?"
