When Wendell fled the scene, Harold was walking into the hall along with his sister, Wendy, and her fiance, Gerald.

Walking next to Gerald was a young man in a smart suit. There was a slight facial resemblance between the two of them.

When Harold met Wendell head-on, he hurriedly approached him and said, "Hey, Wendell! When I came in just now, I heard that something happened to your family. Is it true?" Wendell shoved him away hastily, mumbling, "I'm done, it's over, I'm done..." 1

Harold asked with concern, "Mr. Jones, what's wrong?" 1

Wendell shook his head in panic, not daring to say anything.

Right now, he had no doubt that if he said something he shouldn't, he would be a corpse lying somewhere tomorrow.

Thus, he pushed Harold's hands away and ran out of the hall like his life depended on it.

Harold looked the way he ran and sighed. "I bet it's really the end for the Jones family. D*mn, isn't it all a little too fast? They were still fine yesterday but they've gone bankrupt today!"

Then, when Harold saw Charlie and Claire, a wicked thought appeared in his mind. He went towards Claire and ushered, "Claire, let me introduce you to our distinguished guest tonight. This gentleman over here is Gerald's cousin, Kevin, the eldest son of the White family." 1

"Kevin, this is my cousin, Claire," Harold said to Kevin with a coy smile. 3

Ever since Kevin walked into the hall, he had been locking his gaze at Claire at all times. Upon Harold's introduction, he quickly extended his hand and said," Claire, hi. I've heard all about the gorgeous beauty of the Wilson family, your reputation precedes you." 1

There was a trace of annoyance in Charlie's eyes. This was the unfortunate perks of having a beautiful wifesuitors would come in all directions like flies and he couldn't stop chasing them away. Thus, he stepped forward, shook hands with Kevin, and said coldly, "Hi, I'm Claire's husband."

"You?" Kevin eyed Charlie from head to toe, disdain oozing from his expression. He retracted his hand and said flatly, "I didn't know Claire was married. Such a waste for a beauty like her marrying someone like you ..." i

Wendy hurriedly said, "Kevin, the loser is our family's live-in son-in-law, he does not have a job nor any skills!"

Then, she winked at Kevin and continued, "After

Gerald and I get married, we will be one big family then. Let's get together more often..." 2

Of course, Kevin knew what she meant instantly-she was encouraging him to pursue Claire. He smiled and said, "Miss Claire is so beautiful and elegant, I'm certainly willing to get together more often." At this moment, Charlie saw his in-laws, Elaine and Jacob, walking towards them.
