Everyone turned their heads to see Lewis and were

stunned.

Someone who didn’t know who that was asked, “Who

The person next to them immediately replied, “That’s Jake’s uncle, the current man in charge of the Horton family! I saw him on the financial news channel just a few days ago…”

No sooner had they finished explaining than Professor Miller stood up, exclaiming in surprise. “Mr. Horton?”

Lewis glanced at Keira and Scott before looking away and said in a deep voice, “I heard it’s Professor Miller’s birthday, and I happened to be in the area, so I came to have a look. Why? Am I not welcome?”

Upon seeing this, Isla cheerfully said, “Mr. Martin, what are you waiting for? Please, take a seat.”

Scott, hearing this, gave Keira a look, thought for a moment, and sat next to her. The classmate who had been sitting next to Keira immediately stood up and vacated his seat, allowing Scott to sit down without
