Zephyr, already alarmed by Oscar's rashness, turned pale and quickly apologized with a forced smile. "Mr. Lloyd, it's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding! Oscar is young and impulsive; he doesn't know better. Please don't take offense!" 'Turning to Oscar, he scolded, "Oscar, sit down now, and don't be disrespectful to Mr.

He straightened his expensive suit and sat down leisurely, not forgetting to add a warning, "Fine, since Mr. Stevens has spoken, I won't take this further with you, Andrew. But remember this-I'm here today, and if you dare to act out of line, you'll be facing the music!" Andrew could not help but laugh at the idea that a small-tguy from Bridgefields was threatening him.
However, a hint of menace appeared in his expression. Seeing this, Aspen quickly ran over and took his arm, coaxing him, "Con, my parents are here today, so don't get angry. Sit down. You and my dad can take the head seats!" Andrew waved his hand and replied, "'No, I'm considered a junior here, so I'll sit further down." ---- Aspen felt somewhat grateful in her heart. At least this tyrant was showing her srespect and was not causing a scene.
Before coming, she had worried that Andrew would be too domineering and embarrass her family. since this tyrant was actually being considerate of her, her heart warmed considerably. With a sweet smile, she said, "That works too. I'll sit with you!"

We just brought ssmall gifts as tokens for our meeting. I hope you won't find them inadequate." ---- Aspen added with a beaming smile, "Yes, Dad, Mom, and fellow uncles, I've brought sgifts and hope you'll like them!" She clapped her hands, and immediately the attendant outside brought in several bags and set them down. Oscar sneered.
"The Stevens family of Bridgefields, or we, the Hopkins, may not be top-tier families. But we live in luxury with vast family wealth, and we certainly don't lack material possessions!" 'The implication was clear to everyone-he suggested that Andrew's so-called gifts were trash and not worth consideration. However, Zephyr and Esther were much more courteous. They simply chuckled and said, "There's no need for gifts!
We're already extremely grateful to you for taking care of Aspen." But in their hearts, they were thinking similarly to Oscar-the gifts were just for show. It was not even certain whether the two were living well or poorly in Blumedale, and all this fancy display seemed completely unnecessary. However, at that moment, a surprised exclamation rang out at the table. "Oh my god, it's all Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci-all these luxury designer brands...
