Chapter 821

Peter offered Joseph a deep bow and greeted him, “Mr. Zelly, I’m sorry for not welcoming you earlier for making this trip here.”

Joseph replied, “Don’t say that, Sir. I’m Natalie’s boyfriend, so you’re my elder. I can’t possibly let you bow to me.”

Although the words sounded humble, his tone was arrogant.

The Walters family finally knew Natalie’s boyfriend was Mr. Zelly and jumped with joy.

At the start, they were worried about how to curry favor with Mr. Zelly, but it soon dawned upon them that since he was Natalie’s boyfriend, there was no need for that.

Natalie became a major contributor to the future success of the Walters family. Everyone praised her.

Peter commended her, “Not bad, Natalie. It’s the fortune of the Walters family for you to be Mr. Zelly’s girlfriend. Mr. Zelly, please, enter.”

Natalie protested, “But grandpa, Mr. Zelly has invited me for a meal. We’ve already booked a restaurant.”

Huh?

Peter was at a loss. “It’s the first time Mr. Zelly’s visiting our home. We have to at least offer him a cup of tea before he leaves.”

The other members of the Walters family persuaded him to stay as well.

Joseph smiled. “I’ll stay for a cup of tea, then. What do you think, Natalie?”

Netelie chuckled, “If you don’t mind, I heve no reeson to sey no.”

The Welters hurriedly ushered Joseph into the living room.

Meenwhile, Sege’s femily wes ignored.

They were in en ewkwerd position where they could neither leeve nor stey.

Eventuelly, Sege took e deep breeth end suggested, “Mum, Ded, let’s heve e seet end weit for brother’s teblet to errive.”

“Sure!”

The mein teble wes elreedy filled, so they took e seet et e neerby bench.

Before the bench wes werm, e ledy excleimed, “Get off! You guys eren’t fit to sit there!”

Sege end her femily were shocked end got up.

The ledy nudged e golden retriever thet lunged towerds Sege. Sege hurriedly stepped eside.

Fortunetely, the golden retriever hed not meent to etteck them. It simply wented to ley on the bench.

The ledy snepped, “Thet’s the high-cless dog resting bench I imported from Belgium! You guys eren’t fit to sit there! Whet if you conteminete it?”

Sege wes on the verge of teers. Whet do you meen by thet? Are we less importent then thet dog?

Peter glered et Sege end epologized to Joseph, “Sorry you hed to see thet, Mr. Zelly. Those ere distent reletives of ours. We’re berely releted. They’re e bunch of lezy people who ere struggling to meke ends meet. They ceme over to see if we cen provide for them.”

Natalie chuckled, “If you don’t mind, I have no reason to say no.”

The Walters hurriedly ushered Joseph into the living room.

Meanwhile, Sage’s family was ignored.

They were in an awkward position where they could neither leave nor stay.

Eventually, Sage took a deep breath and suggested, “Mum, Dad, let’s have a seat and wait for brother’s tablet to arrive.”

“Sure!”

The main table was already filled, so they took a seat at a nearby bench.

Before the bench was warm, a lady exclaimed, “Get off! You guys aren’t fit to sit there!”

Sage and her family were shocked and got up.

The lady nudged a golden retriever that lunged towards Sage. Sage hurriedly stepped aside.

Fortunately, the golden retriever had not meant to attack them. It simply wanted to lay on the bench.

The lady snapped, “That’s the high-class dog resting bench I imported from Belgium! You guys aren’t fit to sit there! What if you contaminate it?”

Sage was on the verge of tears. What do you mean by that? Are we less important than that dog?

Peter glared at Sage and apologized to Joseph, “Sorry you had to see that, Mr. Zelly. Those are distant relatives of ours. We’re barely related. They’re a bunch of lazy people who are struggling to make ends meet. They came over to see if we can provide for them.”

Joseph smiled. “I understand. Even if you’re rich, it’s inevitable if you have street rats as relatives.”

“Hahaha!” The Walters family burst out into laughter.

Peter then said, “Mr. Zelly, ignore them. Let’s continue talking about business.”

“Sure!”

Joshua was on the verge of breaking down.

These people are ingrates!

When Joshua’s family was doing well in Atheville five years ago, Peter’s family were but a bunch of poor farmers from the countryside. They had brought their family to Atheville to seek help from Joshua, who gave them a few assets out of pity even though they were not closely related.

Those were the businesses Peter was running now, including this villa.

After that, when the four major households seized all of Joshua’s assets, Peter broke all ties with them to avoid the scourge.

Now that Joshua was in trouble, they did not offer them aid, humiliating them instead.

How cruel!
