Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1276:

From the edge of the gathering, Damon and Duran fixed their gazes on Cedric. Their looks were sharp and piercing, filled with a bitterness that was both overt and palpable.

“Cedric, you’re finally here,” Hamilton greeted and extended his hand, an inviting gesture, but Cedric avoided him. Unfazed by the awkwardness, Hamilton’s smile didn’t falter. “You’re home now. You don’t have to keep your guard up here.”

As he turned to the bustling courtyard, Hamilton beckoned to his five children. “This is Cedric, your eldest brother.”

The five remained silent. None of them stepped forward to welcome Cedric as their sibling.

Duran broke the silence with a skeptical arch of his eyebrow. “Who can be sure he’s one of us? Our family’s wealth and prestige are coveted far and wide. What if this is all a scam? Wouldn’t that make us a laughingstock? Our family’s got a proud legacy, you know. Not just anyone can carry that name.”
