“Mom’s not feeling well recently. It’s just a small party, so I don’t want to tire her out.”
With a sweet smile, Summer said flatteringly, “You’re so filial, Mr. Newton. The Newton family will
definitely rise to greatness under your leadership.”
“Thank you for your compliment.”
Craig gave her a polite smile.
The housekeeper who had gone up to look for Charles rushed back soon. “Mr. Craig, Mr. Charles isn’t
in his room. I don’t know where he is. I can’t find him.”
A grim expression immediately descended upon Craig’s face. He scolded in a low voice, “How can a
person like him disappear into thin air before the welcome party? Look for him now!”
“Yes!”
The housekeeper spun around and ran away.
Nico and Summer exchanged a look.
As if realizing something. Summer quickly changed the topic of conversation. “Mr. Newton, are you the
only one organizing today’s welcome party? The decorations are so exquisite! Can I learn from you?”
Nico chimed in, “What’s up. Mr. Newton? It’s such a great day. Why do you look so unhappy?”
The vicious look in Craig’s eyes disappeared as he continued to smile politely.
Just when he was about to answer Summer’s question, he saw Karl rush over hurriedly.
“Mr. Craig…”
Gwendolyn stopped Karl in the middle. “Karl, where’s Jasmine? Why didn’t I see her? She loves lively
scenes like this.”
Since he was facing her, he had no choice but to suppress his look of panic. “Ms. Jasmine is probably
still dressing up in her room. Mr. Craig bought a new pair of crystal earrings for her a few days ago.
She’s probably torn between which pair to wear.”
Gwendolyn smiled. “I see.”
“Yes, Mrs. Jenson. Well, I need to tell Mr. Craig something urgent, so I’ll have to leave you for now.”
When Karl took a few steps to the side, Gwendolyn mirrored his actions and blocked him from Craig’s
view.
“The Newton residence is huge, Karl. I can’t find Jasmine’s room. Can you please bring me there?”
“Well…”
Gwendolyn continued, “Since the housekeepers in the Newton residence are new, I don’t recognize
any of them. You’re the one most familiar with me. Since Mr. Craig is busy hosting the guests, you can
talk to him about anything urgent after the welcome party.”
Karl was conflicted for a while. He turned his head and observed that situation at Craig’s side.
Since Craig’s attention seemed to be fully drawn to Nico and Summer, he had no choice but to give up.
“Okay, Mrs. Jenson. Please follow me.”
“Thank you.”
A minute later, Cedrick walked out of the villa. He first stood by the door and scanned everyone in the
garden. Finally, his gaze stopped on Cedrick.
As if noticing his stare, Cedrick returned his gaze silently.
Craig, who was stuck chatting with Nico and Summer endlessly, was almost running out of patience.
When he saw Charles showing up, he immediately dismissed Nico and Summer. With steady steps, he
strode over and demanded. “Why did you only come down now? Where were you earlier?”
Charles lowered his head and answered obediently, “I don’t know what happened but my stomach was
hurting. I spent quite some time in the toilet.”
After all, it was a biological need. Although Craig was extremely displeased, he could not possibly
reprimand Charles in front of everyone.
Suppressing his unhappiness, Craig continued. “How are the preparations going? You are only allowed
to succeed, okay? No failures are permitted. Understood?”
“Yes. Don’t worry, Craig. I’ll do it perfectly.”
Barely satisfied with Charles’ attitude, Craig snorted coldly.
It was time to formally start the party. Craig immediately switched to a friendly smile as he walked
stage.
Gwendolyn also dragged Jasmine, who had finally finished dressing up, down the stairs.
The distinguished guests were sitting around the round tables in the garden.
Craig delivered a five-minute welcoming address in a dignified manner.
Meanwhile, Charles stood at the side quietly, playing his role as the obedient younger brother.
Since it was a formal event, he had shaved his mustache, making him look much younger.
Although his skin was much rougher than before due to the harsh times that he had experienced, it was
not obvious under the dim glow of the night. He was as dazzling as before.
After his speech, Charles followed Craig’s instructions and toasted around each table.
Considering Cedrick’s power in Chanaea, he was naturally the first person to receive the toast.
When Charles walked toward the table slowly, Craig trailed behind silently. He seemed like a good
brotherly figure who was worried that his younger brother would not do a good job.
“Mr. Jenson, too many things have happened between us. It’s all because I was too immature then.
Tonight, I wish to personally apologize to you with a toast. I hope that you’ll let bygones be bygones
and accept my toast,” said Charles with a smile.
The housekeepers behind were holding a tray of expensive red wine and empty wine glasses. Charles
poured a glass of wine for Cedrick personally.
An unknown white powder was also mixed with the red wine as he poured it into the glass.
Craig, who was standing behind Charles, noticed all of his actions. A calm look resumed in Craig’s
eyes.
“Here, Mr. Jenson. After drinking this roast, let’s let bygones be bygones.”
Cedrick’s expression was still cold. Not only did he refuse to take the glass, but he also remained
silent. It was as if Charles was as invisible as the air.
Charles brought the glass to Gwendolyn “Gwen, Mr. Jenson’s unwilling to accept my toast. I heard that
he listens to you the most. Considering our years of friendship, can you please put in some good words
with Mr. Jenson?”
Gwendolyn was the peacemaker in this act.
She turned her head around and looked at Cedrick. “Hubby, it’s just a glass of wine. It doesn’t mean
anything much. If you don’t drink it, his toasting for the night will be stuck at the first round. Drink it.
Why don’t we drink half each?”
Due to Gwendolyn, Cedrick agreed reluctantly.
With his back bent respectfully, Charles lifted the glass of wine, which served as an apology.
When Cedrick extended his arm to receive it, Gwendolyn snatched the glass first. As agreed earlier,
she drank half first.
While she was drinking, Charles cast his gaze downward. Colorful lamps hung in the dark garden.
Although it was impossible to see his expression, one could clearly tell how calm he was.
Craig frowned, his sharp observation telling him that something was not right.
After Charles went finished the round of toasting with all the guests, Craig dragged him to an isolated
corner and demanded softly, “Did you play any tricks?”
Charles was confused. “What do you mean, Craig?”
Craig smiled coldly. “I understand your personality. You’ve pursued Gwendolyn all your life. How can
you remain so unaffected while watching her drink that glass of wine?”
That drug, which was a forbidden drug purchased from overseas, was extremely potent.
Charles was just watching the woman he loved so much drink the wine to help him out without showing
any intentions of stopping her.
Laughter from the guests echoed across the garden endlessly while a few bodyguards stood at
discreet.
Furious, Craig immediately wrapped his hands around Charles’ neck tightly. “If you dare to toy around.
with me, I can put you under hellish torture as easily as I’ve let you return to the Newton family so
grandly!”
Enduring the suffocating pain, Charles replied without a change in his expression, “I didn’t stop her
because I wish that the two of them will die together!”
