My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"What's going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?"

A few members of the Yeager family stood on the side awkwardly while watching Dustin and the others chatting happily.

Damien whispered in dissatisfaction. They could not bear the sight of this, and they felt very resentful.

"Stop talking!" Warren snapped.

"Don't worry, he won't remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else," Zack said in a low voice. "A man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job... even if he has some luck and inheritance, he'll squander it away in no time. Then, he'll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.

"Besides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I don't believe in such an absurd thing.

"Dad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. They're lucky they get to hang around the Yeager family for a while."

They agreed with Zack. It was exactly what they were thinking.

They believed that Dustin and Patricia were just enjoying a temporary moment of glory. They just needed to put up an act until they faced reality in the near future.

Half an hour passed, and they continued chatting. The kitchen staff from the Yeager family came over to ask if they could start serving the food.

But the most important guest still had not shown up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pierce. May I ask if the CEO is delayed on the way?" Zack had to interrupt them.

"No. Our CEO has already arrived. He's in the villa now," Adrian said with a faint smile.

"He arrived?" The Yeager family members looked confused. They could not help but look around, but they did not see any unfamiliar faces.

"But why haven't we seen him yet?"

"The CEO has indeed been here for a while. Just because you didn't see him doesn't mean he isn't here," Adrian said confidently.

The Yeager family members were even more confused. They did not understand what he was saying.

Why did he make it sound so mystical?

"Mr. Pierce, are you saying that the CEO is among us?" Zack asked jokingly.

"That's not impossible." Adrian's smile was cryptic.

"Our CEO is rather mysterious, and he likes to fool around. You don't have to pay too much attention to him. Let's go ahead with the banquet. Who knows? Maybe he will suddenly show up when he's had his fun."

"What?" The Yeager family members looked at each other at a loss.

The CEO was acting so strangely. He had arrived, but he did not want to show up.noveldrama

He liked to fool around. What was he playing at?

He was such a weirdo.

"It's hardly appropriate to start the banquet without the CEO, right?" Zack looked hesitant. The CEO was the most important person. He was the one the banquet was for.

"That's fine. I can make a call. The CEO won't mind.

"Everyone has been waiting a while, so you must be hungry. Let's begin."

Zack and the others found themselves in a difficult position. "Since Mr. Pierce says so, let's start the banquet," Terry said.

He also found the CEO a bit weird, but he knew that people from elite aristocratic families in Summerdale were far from ordinary. They had incredible abilities. If the CEO wanted to remain hidden in the villa,

It would be effortless for him to pull

that off.

They just did not know his true motive.

Everyone took their seats, and the banquet began.

The Yeager family members did their best to keep the atmosphere lively white subtly probing for information about Duscia Corporation. They wanted to know what Duscia Corporation stood for, but Adrian retained his faint smile and did not talk much.

A while later, Zack and the others lost their patience.

"Mr. Pierce, the Yeager family has been discussing it for a long time, and we feel that our collaboration is not very secure. It's better for us to draft a contract," Zack finally said.

"A contract clarifies many things, and it will be more convenient. At the same time, it will also put ourè family at ease. Since your CEO has a connection with our family anyway and has also been generous toward us, believe that he wouldn't mind this little thing."

They were determined to finalize the collaboration tonight. With the contract, they would feel secure.

Even if the CEO changed his mind later, he could not back out of a written

contract.

This matter involved enormous profit, so they must not be careless.

They observed Adrian's reaction, but he retained his smile.

"I can't make the decision for this. Only the CEO has the authority to do so," Adrian said.

"But your CEO isn't here. Could you please request his presence here, so we can discuss it?"

"Don't forget..." Adrian looked at them. "The CEO is already in the villa. He can hear our conversation, and he will make the final call."
