James snorted coldly as if there was some deep hatred between the two of them.
Harrison did not feel embarrassed and threw the cigarette in his hand to Nash.
After Lauren and Yvonne hugged for a moment, Lauren remembered that James was there and quickly
greeted him, “James, it’s been a long time!”
James’ icy face melted instantly. “It’s been more than 20 years, so it has been a while!”
Yvonne rubbed her stomach and said coquettishly, “Hera, I’m so hungry!”
Hera smiled. “If you’re hungry, let’s go
eat!”
She really liked her obedient and cute little cousin.
Harrison suggested, “Let’s eat out. It’s probably toote for anyone to start cooking now!”
He started to take out his phone to book a restaurant.
Then, Nash smiled and said, “I’ve reserved a private room at the Chateau Hotel. Let’s eat there!”
After all, these were his mother-inw’s rtives.
He needed to build a favorable impression for his mother-inw.
“The Chateau Hotel?”
James was taken aback for a moment, then remarked, “It seems the Lewises have done quite well
these past years!”
Having grown up in Capiton, he knew the standard of people who dined at the Chateau Hotel.
“Actually…” Harrison wanted to exin that the membership card belonged to Nash.
“We should get going. Yvonne is already hungry, so let’s hurry over!” Nash interrupted Harrison.
Harrison understood that Nash was trying to protect their dignity.
With such a son-inw, what more could one ask for?
The entire family headed toward the Chateau Hotel.
James and Yvonne took Lauren’s car.
Meanwhile, Nash and Harrison went in Hera’s car, with Nash driving.
When the two cars drove outside the vi, Lauren went over to get her second brother, Liam Mare.
Then, all three cars drove to the Chateau Hotel together.
“Dad, who exactly is Uncle James? He’s quite rude!”
Recalling Uncle James’ words, Hera expressed her displeasure.
“It’s a long story!
“When your grandfather was young and starting his business, he faced several assassination attempts.
Fortunately, he escaped each time. Once, his car was hanging on the edge of the cliff, and his
dedicated driver jumped off to lighten the car’s weight, saving your grandfather’s life!
“That driver was James’ father. He divorced when James was young, so after the ident, James was
left alone. Hence, your grandfather took him in as his adoptive son!
“Your grandfather had three sons and two daughters. Your mother is the fourth child. The youngest
child died of leukemia. James wasn’t academically strong, and he didn’t want to live a mediocre life in
the Mare household. So, your grandfather spent a lot of money to train him!
“After James returned from his training, your mother was about to marry me. Your grandfather asked
him to bring her back, so he came to Jonford and caused a scene at our wedding. When he found out
your mother was pregnant, he drank a lot andter took advantage of being drunk to beat me up!”

Harrison reminisced with a wry smile.
“So, did you fight back? Did he eventually let you guys be?”
Hera had never heard this story from her parents before.
She waspletely engrossed and asionally nced at Nash through the rearview mirror.
Nash was focused on driving, but he was probably eavesdropping.
“At that time, our entire family’s assets were less than two million, and the Mares had nearly 300
million. How could we dare offend anyone from the Mare family?
“Your mother pped him to bring him to his senses. After he gave his blessings, he left!
“At that time, James was a martial arts grandmaster. If he had insisted on taking your mother, we
wouldn’t have had a choice. You probably wouldn’t have been born!
“James had a bad temper, but his father was kind to your grandfather, and he was kind to me and your
mother. So, whatever he says, you and Nash shouldn’t take it to heart!”
While they talked, the car arrived at the Chateau Hotel.
After Liam got out of the car, he greeted James and Yvonne.
Then, he greeted Harrison and Hera.
