Chapter 95 The Annual Party Begins

 

Margaret was exceedingly dissatisfied, and that resentment hadn’t just been for a day or two.

 

 

He’s part of the Smith family, yet he’s seated at the fringes, closest to the door, during the Smith family’s annual party! Is this not humiliating and degrading?

 

“It makes no difference where we’re seated, no?” Conversely, Connor wasn’t the least bit bothered.

 

Anyway, I haven’t been treated all that well in the Smith family ever since young. Dad has always favored my brothers more. As for me, I’m no different from a child he found by the roadside! No sooner had I gotten married than I was booted out of the Smith mansion and had to live outside. Of the three sons of the Smith family, I was the only one kicked out of the house!

 

 

 

“Of course, it’s different!” Margaret grew even more irate after hearing that. “Tell me how it’s the same! How could sitting in the first row and the last row be the same?”

 

 

The instant her temper spiked, Connor was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not even say anything.

 

At that exact moment, Josephine finally had enough and snapped, “That’s enough! Stop arguing. Not only do the two of you bicker at home, but you’re even doing so when you’re outside. When are you both going to stop squabbling?”

 

 

 

Ever since young, I grew up with their interminable arguments! And this is precisely why I adamantly refused to get married in the past. Otherwise, I would never have taken a second look at Jonathan back then!

 

“Do you think I want to quarrel with him?” Harrumphing, Margaret huffed, “He’s not young anymore, yet he’s still as useless as before! Even when he returns to his own house, he has to sit at such a crappy place! I feel ashamed to sit at the same table with him!”
