The Proctor family's party received many guests, far more than those attending Master Proctor's
birthday banquet last year.
However, the biggest surprise was Jeffery Proctor, who was always reclusive and never showed up in
front of so many people.
But this time, he always stayed by Master Proctor's side.
What was more, Master Proctor was ona crutch, but he looked very spirited as he introduced Jeffery
Proctor to the guests one after another.
He almost kept repeating the same greetings, "Jeffery was not well a few years ago and had been
recuperating at home; but now he is much better.
If you have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I hope you can be ready to help him when
necessary."
Not far away, William Hood was holding a glass of wine, whispering, "It looks like Master Proctor is
determined to secure Jeffery Proctor's position in the Proctor Group this time"
Dean Wilson tsked, "He has to, as there's no other way out.It's already a total mess over in London"
Sharon Allyson looked at Jeffery Proctor sitting silently in his wheelchair by Master Proctor's side.She
felt that he was as cold as a puppet at Master Proctor's mercy.She frowned gently, "Jeffery Proctor
seemed unwilling."
William Hood said, "Righto.If he were interested in the Proctor Group, he wouldn't have waited until
now."
Sharon Allyson said, "But if Master Proctor keeps him around him, there will be no way for us to
approach Jeffery."
Dean Wilson took a sip of champagne from his glass, "We can't just wait around.Let me try"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he stepped forward and walked up to Master Proctor, beaming
slightly, "Uncle Proctor."
Master Proctor was smiling and talking to the person next to him.
When he turned his eyes and saw Dean, his face sank as he said coolly, "It's you! When did you come
back?"
"It's been a while."
Dean Wilson looked at Jeffery Proctor, "I heard that Brother Jeffery was injured; was it serious?"
Jeffery Proctor shook his head gently and spoke for the first time tonight, "Nothing serious."
Dean Wilson made an "oops" sound.
Then, he went closer to check, "There's still broken skin on your forehead.Please take care and don't
get infected."
Just as they were chatting, someone came up from behind and, as if by mistake, splashed a whole
glass of champagne onto Jeffery Proctor.
Not far away.
William Hood, "..."
Sharon Allyson, "..."
Really, he faked it so good that never would anyone suspect he did it on purpose! Over there, Master
Proctor said angrily, "What are you doing!?"
Dean Wilson hastily drew out the square towel in his suit pocket, "Sorry! My hand slipped! I drank too
much and I was just feeling dizzy just now.I'm so sorry!"
"You..."
Jeffery Proctor took the square towel in his hand and wiped the liquor off from his suit, saying faintly,
"It's okay."
Master Proctor was seeing red.
However, because of Dean Wilson's status and the fact that there were so many people here, he
couldn't show his anger, so he just shouted at the maid waiting at the side, "What are you still standing
there for? Send Young Master back to his room to change!"
The maid rushed over and answered, "Noted!"
Immediately afterward, Jeffery Proctor was wheeled away.
Dean Wilson spared a glance at Sharon Allyson, signaling for her to follow up.
Then, he stepped in front of Master Proctor again, apologizing in all sincerity, "Uncle Proctor, I'm really
sorry! To make up, let me help you out with your lawsuit for free."
Master Proctor felt confused at his words, and he was still angry, "What kind of lawsuit can I have? I
think you've got your brain damaged abroad."
Master Proctor had tried a few times to win the Wilson family over.
But somehow Dean Wilson got teamed up with Jameson Proctor, and the Wilson family didn't show
much interest in his offering, so he had no choice but to give it up.
He never thought much of Dean Wilson.
Since Dean happened to make such a mistake, he got even more disgusted with him.
Before Sharon Allyson left, William Hood reminded her, "I haven't seen Evie Rowland yet tonight.So be
careful not to run into her."
At that, Sharon Allyson was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Okay."
When they reached the door of the room, Jeffery Proctor said to the maid in a light voice, "You go
downstairs.I will change before going out."
"But Master said..."
"Now you don't even listen to me anymore?"
The maid did not dare to say more.
Instead, she nodded instantly and left.
Jeffery Proctor went back to his room, changed his clothes, and instead of going back downstairs to the
hall, he went to the back garden.
There was no one in the garden; it was quiet and tranquil.
After sitting there for a while, he suddenly spoke, "Come out"
Sharon Allyson walked over, "Mr.Proctor."
Jeffery Proctor turned his wheelchair and seemed to be a little surprised, "Sharon?"
Sharon Allyson nodded, "I heard you were injured and wondered how you are doing"
Jeffery Proctor smiled, "It's just that I didn't pay attention when I was going downstairs.So I stumbled
and got my skin sort of grazed; it's almost healed now."
After a pause, he added, "Didn't Jameson come with you?"
"He's gone to London."
Sharon Allyson pursed her lips lightly, "Don't you ...know about his trip to London?"
Jeffery Proctor said, "I haven't heard yet.What's ACTUALLY happening over in London?"
"I've no clue.But I heard that the Proctor family did it"
Jeffery Proctor slightly froze; his brow then furrowed, "So that's it.”
Sharon Allyson said, "What?"
"I had been wondering why he was hosting this party.Now it turns out this is the reason."
Jeffery Proctor let out a sigh, "It seems he hasn't given up after all."
Sharon Allyson pouted but didn't say anything.
It looked like Jeffery Proctor was completely unaware of this matter.
Whether it was about Jameson Proctor in London or what the Proctor family had planned next, it was
all done without his knowledge.
And yes, if he had known in advance, he would not have agreed to do so.
After a while, Jeffery Proctor said again, "Sharon, did you come to me about this?"
Sharon Allyson did not deny, "I thought you would know what they wanted to do, and I don't know what
Jameson Proctor's doing in London, so..."
Jeffery Proctor said, "Sorry, but I really don't know anything.You don't have to worry about Jameson,
though.He'll take care of it, sooner or later.It's just a matter of time."
"I got it, thanks."
Jeffery Proctor added, "How you doing? You good?"
"Same old.Just not bad, answered Sharon, the corners of her lips dropping into the recesses of her
jowls.
"There's not much I can do to help you.I just hope you can forget about the unhappiness and move on."
Sharon Allyson gave him a slight nod in greeting, "Thanks.Bye for now."
Jeffery Proctor said, "Bye."
Sharon Allyson turned around and left.
Just as she was about to walk down the hall, she was blocked by someone all of a sudden.
Evie Rowland looked at her and said slightingly, "Long time no see."
The corners of Sharon Allysor's lips started to twitch up, and there was a little more coldness in her
gaze.Evie Rowland saw this and laughed, "You seem to be quite hostile to me.But why? Just because I
killed that baby in your belly?"
