Chapter 18
Ms.Jasmine's departure "Why are you butting in, little brat, when the adults you speaking you ought to shut up...Both of you siblings are inevitably good for nothing!"
Xander let out, he knew that it was his chance to crush Sett once and for all.He wouldn't let go of such a golden opportunity! In response, Sett clenched his jaws, eventually letting out a breath.
"Grandfather, I'm sorry for what happened here, and for being unable to hand my gift to you personally.I will leave immediately."
After saying that, Sett didn't wait for a second longer as he left.He could still hear Xander's sneering voice.
"Gift? It must be something worthless, coming from a pig who can't even bring a proper cloth."
Xander scornfully said, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Anyway, if I see anyone helping or keeping in touch with that disrespectful brat, I'll make sure they suffer the same fate as him! I'll personally kick him out of the family.Do I make myself clear?"
Xander questions the juniors of the family.
"Of course, young master Xander! No one in the family would help a pig like him!" Xander nodded in satisfaction, seeing everyone agreeing with him.
"I know, I'll never let the shame of the family off so easily."Xander sneered.
"That pig better not let me find out that he's using the family name or else..."
As everyone resumes giving their gift to the family head, Francisco, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance.
"Who could it be?"
The family head, Francisco, strokes his beard in curiosity.
"Family head, Ms.Jasmine of the treasure Palace conglomerate, comes to visit.She's at the gate!" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
The guard hurriedly spoke.
"Ms.Jasmine? Isn't it unusual for her to attend my humble party? Maybe there's a mistake." The family head, Francisco, spoke.
He wonders why a woman with such excellent status like Ms.
Jasmine would come to his birthday celebration.As he didn't have any form of contact with her.
"I also forgot! Ms.Jasmine also told me that she's here to deliver a package, and it's a gift for you, family head."
The guard hurriedly conveyed the message.
"Hurry up and invite Ms.Jasmine inside!"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
Xander excitedly said.
Shortly after, Ms.Jasmine strides forward while being followed by her bodyguards, one of whom was carrying a box.
Moreover, there was a notable figure in the group.
"I'm Dr.Hutton, nice to meet you, Don Francisco Crossword.I apologize for coming here without an invitation.I hope you don't mind?"
"Why would I mind? In fact, I feel very lucky to have met you both, Ms.Jasmine and Dr.Hutton."
Family head Francisco spoke with modesty, but actually, he was excited.It was a rare opportunity for the Crossword family to make a connection with Dr.Hutton, who was a well-known surgeon and had many friends of high standing in Darian City.
"You're flattering me.Don Francisco, I only came here by chance, as I accidentally met Ms.Jasmine in the city center.Actually, I'm interested in seeing the man that made Ms.Jasmine so restless."
Dr.Hutton smiled faintly as he glanced at Ms.Jasmine.
In response, Ms.Jasmine just shrugged her shoulders, not really minding.
"Gentleman, I'm merely doing my job of handing the gift from one of our corporate VIPs, but it appears that the VIP is not present here...So, if you'll excuse me, I'll be going now."
Ms.Jasmine said as her men finished putting the large gift box together, astonishing everyone.
‘It seems that Mr.Crow is not here.I guess I should head back soon.Maybe I'll meet Mr.Crow on my way back"
Ms.Jasmine thought to herself while slowly walking away.
The family head was caught off guard as he didn't expect that Ms.Jasmine, who was showing a delighted expression moments ago, would suddenly show such a face.It was a face of disappointment.
Ms.Jasmine's departure ruined his plan to befriend her.
"Dr.Hutton, can you help me persuade Ms.Jasmine to remain? I've prepared every high-class dish.It would be ashame if we didn't serve her, at my birthday party."
"Family head Francisco, you know that I can't do that.I've been expecting to see the man that Ms.Jasmine, wanted me to meet.It's just my bad luck that he is not present."
Dr.Hustton let out an exasperated breath.
When Family head, Francisco heard those words, he was startled.
"What did you say? You said that Ms.Jasmine and you are here to meet a VIP? Did Ms.Jasmine tell you about the VIP appearance?"
The family head Francisco creases his brows.
"Hmm, I think she said along the line that the VIP was a fat guy, and he looks somewhat handsome." Dr.Hustton said while scratching his head.
Not sure of what Ms.Jasmine had said at that time when they were heading here.
"Fat guy? Perhaps you are talking about my grandson, Sett Crossword?"
The family head, Fransico, could hardly believe what he was saying.
Was it possible that the VIP was his grandson? Moreover, Sett also mentioned to him that he would send a gift to him; the coincidence was just too much! Also, the respectful gaze that Ms.Jasmine was displaying was genuine.So, she must be looking forward to seeing Sett, or most likely his grandson.Francisco, the family's head, turned to his daughters to think "
Amanda, Xander, hurry up and bring Sett back here this instant!"
"Yes grandfather, I'll immediately ask Sett to come back!" Amanda exclaimed.
At the same time, he was feeling jealous.
Why was Grandpa paying attention to that useless bum? Meanwhile, Sett and Nini could be seen exiting the Crossword family gate.There was a sad look on Sheila's face.
"Brother, it's just too much.Why did they have to kick us out? They are unreasonable....I hate them.I don't want to see Grandma anymore." Nini said, with resentment.
Nini was sad that his grandma and grandpa didn't help her brother when he was being bullied.
"It's alright, Nini, but don't worry, they will be the ones regretting kicking me out."
Sett didn't mind their treatment of him.He was more inclined to understand why Sheila's attitude toward him had gotten worse.
‘There must be something going on.I'll ask Ms.Scarlett about the Laurel family's relationship with the Rotherford family...I can only hope that it's not too late yet"
Sett shook his head.
‘Leaving too early, you guys must have been kicked out, right? How sad."
The guards laughed as they saw Sett and Nini leaving the premise.
Nini's face turned red, as she was embarrassed.
"Ignore them, Nini, they are just uneducated guards," Sett said, with a cold face.
"Kid, what did you say? Say that again and I swear I'm going to pummel you!"
A rather hot-tempered guard shouted while grabbing Sett by the collar.
