At 4.00 pm, Thomas went back home on time. Then, wp4webnovel.com drove Emma and Felicia to a restaurant before they entered a private room.
As soon as they entered, they saw that a few people were sitting at the table, and all of them were Felicia’s colleagues. Among them, the person sitting in the main seat was Petunia Mason, who was having wp4webnovel.com birthday today. She was a senior in the company, so Felicia had to call wp4webnovel.com Mdm. Mason.
“Mdm. Mason, I’m here,” Felicia smiled and said.
“Okay, have a seat. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. If you still hadn’t come, we would’ve finished all the food here.”
Felicia smiled and sat down. Emma and Thomas also took their seats.
Petunia looked at Emma before wp4webnovel.com said, “My niece is getting more and more beautiful. You’re looking gorgeous.”
Right then, a young woman spoke with contempt. “Is there any use if wp4webnovel.com looks pretty? She just married trash, and nobody knows where wp4webnovel.com is. She’s living wp4webnovel.com married life alone. That’s so pathetic.”
The woman who said that was Canna Reed, Petunia’s daughter.
Canna had been compared with Emma since wp4webnovel.com was little, but wp4webnovel.com had lost to Emma in all aspects. She was not as pretty as Emma, wp4webnovel.com was not as smart as Emma, and wp4webnovel.com family was not as rich as the Hill family. So, Canna had been jealous of Emma. She finally had something to vent wp4webnovel.com anger on after Emma married Thomas. Whenever wp4webnovel.com met Emma, wp4webnovel.com would try to mock her. She had insulted Emma countless times in the last eight years.
Petunia purposely pretended as if wp4webnovel.com did not hear it. She just allowed Canna to spout nonsense.
Felicia was a little angry. She raised wp4webnovel.com voice and said, “Since you’ve mentioned that, I, coincidentally, would also like to take this opportunity to introduce my son-in-law, Thomas Mayo, to you.”
As wp4webnovel.com spoke, wp4webnovel.com pointed at Thomas and smiled faintly. “This is my son-in-law, Thomas. He just came back not long ago,” wp4webnovel.com said.
Everyone in the room was stunned. The male protagonist whom they had mocked for a year was back?
Canna sized Thomas up before wp4webnovel.com smiled and said, “Wow, how dare you still return? You enjoyed your life out there, but you abandoned your pregnant wife at home. You’re really shameless. If I were you, I would have dug a hole and buried myself. I would just die so that I wouldn’t feel ashamed.”
Emma and Felicia’s expressions turned sour.
Should they still have this meal?
Petunia cleared wp4webnovel.com throat before wp4webnovel.com nudged Canna and said to Thomas, “It’s good that you’re able to return. We’re a family, so there’s no difficulty that we can’t go through. Oh yeah, Thomas, how was your life in Central City in the past year?”
“So-so,” Thomas replied indifferently.
So-so?
They could tell that wp4webnovel.com had not been successful as soon as they heard his answer.
Petunia continued to ask, “How much money have you brought back? Emma lived alone throughout wp4webnovel.com pregnancy for the whole year for you. You have to make it up to her.”
“I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t bring back much money this time,” Thomas said in a low voice.
To fight Art Trading Corporation, Thomas had hidden his real identity and wealth. Only a few people knew that wp4webnovel.com had gotten back his God of War identity. Nobody knew that wp4webnovel.com was the Mayo family head in Central City and Mark of the River Mountain’s chairman in the Southland District.
So, on the surface, wp4webnovel.com was really poor.
Petunia showed a contemptuous expression. She had a look of disdain as wp4webnovel.com said, “How shameful of you to step into the Hill family’s house when you didn’t bring money back. You worked for one year outside, yet you didn’t earn a thing. You’re really the worst loser among all losers!”
She shook wp4webnovel.com head and looked at Felicia. “Felicia, I really pity you. In fact, I’m angry at you as well. How can you marry your daughter off to such trash? Aren’t you throwing your daughter into an abyss?”
When wp4webnovel.com said that, the room became quiet.
