Chapter 16 Mester Manor
The old house of the Collins family had been abandoned for years.
There were cobwebs everywhere.
"It's all Chris's fault, or we wouldn't have to live in such a poor place."
Susan said angrily.
"You should ask your father when we can go back to Jefferson Manor."
John kept silent all the time. Susan couldn't help urging John to beg his father.
John shook his head and sighed, "He won't agree. He will never allow us back since he has expelled
us."
Susan cried and cursed, "Chris Shelby, you bastard! You made us suffer like this!"
She gritted her teeth and put all the blame on Chris.
Just at this moment, a military vehicle drove over.
Chris and Esther got out of the vehicle.
Susan cursed Chris as soon as she saw him, "Chris Shelby, bastard! Why are you here? Look! We are
suffering just because of you!"
Chris said calmly, "Mom, I'm here to take you to the banquet held by James Mester."
"Banquet?"
Both Susan and John were stunned as they heard this.
Susan asked, "Do you really think that pure-gold invitation was for you?"
"Of course, it is. James Mester gave it to me himself. Don't you believe it?"
Chris asked with a frown.
"Huh!"
Susan snorted, "He might have made a mistake. It will be a shame on us if we are not allowed in."
Chris said unhappily, "Mom, you should trust me."
"You are such a loser, with no money and no good fame. Why did James Mester invite you to the
banquet?"
Susan didn't believe it at all.
Chris was poor and infamous, while James was the richest man in East Coast.
How could they know each other?
There was a huge gap between them.
Chris persuaded Susan, "How can you know if he has made a mistake if we don't go there? Don't you
want to attend Mr. Mester's banquet?"
"I..."
Susan began to hesitate after she heard Chris's words.
That was the banquet held by Mr. Mester! Definitely, she wanted to go.
However, she was not qualified to be invited.
But what if James Mester really wanted to invite Chris?
Susan was hesitant. Esther also persuaded her, "Mom, please trust Chris. Those people don't trust him
because they don't understand him, but he is your son-in-law. You have to trust him."
In fact, Esther also thought it was impossible.
But since Chris said so, as his wife, she had to believe her husband.
Esther's words convinced Susan.
After hesitating for a while, Susan finally nodded, "Alright! Chris, I'll trust you this time, but if you dare to
fool us, I'll ask Esther to divorce you."
Chris just smiled and didn't say anything.
"You can go there first. I have something else to do."
After Esther and her family got into the vehicle, Chris suddenly said to them.
Susan hurriedly asked, "Are you running?" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Don't worry. I'll be there soon."
"I can't run anywhere. After all, I'm Esther's husband. Where can I run?"
Susan thought Chris's words made sense.
"Chris, you must come!"
Esther said to Chris, gazing at him.
"Don't worry, honey. I'll be there." Chris smiled.
Esther nodded and felt happy.
Anyway, this was her husband, and they had a daughter.
After Chris came back, Esther gradually accepted this man.
Soon, they left in the military vehicle.
"Master!"
After Esther left, Tiger came over and bowed to Chris.
Chris ordered in a cold voice, "Do something for me. I'll give Esther a surprise at the banquet and teach
those who look down on me a lesson!"
"Yes, Master!"
Tiger nodded and then left.
"I was forced to leave five years ago."
"Now, I'm back with honor and power."
Chris stood there, looked at the clouds in the sky, and thought.
...
The banquet was held in Mester Manor.
Outside the manor, there were all kinds of luxurious cars.
Even the cheapest one cost millions of dollars.
It was James Mester's banquet, so almost all the noble people in East Coast came here for the
banquet.
A black car drove over, and the Collins got out of it.
Michael Collins and Laurence Collins couldn't help admiring as they saw the cars outside the manor.
"What a grand banquet. Look. Those people are all well-known in the upper class."
"Look at those cars. They cost millions of dollars, and even more!"
The Collins were quite jealous when they looked at those luxurious cars.
The Collins family was not very rich. They only had one car that was worth one million dollars.
Definitely, they drove it here.
They thought it wouldn't make them look so poor, but in fact, their car was still the cheapest.
"Dad, thanks to Alfred, we have a chance to attend such a banquet."
Laurence said to Michael. That was all his son-in-law's contribution.
Michael nodded, "You are right. We should all thank Alfred."
"Dad, Grandpa, we are family. You don't need to say that."
Alfred heard their conversation. He still pretended to be humble.
"Will Chris Shelby and his family come here?"
Suddenly, Loretta asked.
"They won't come. Or they will be ashamed."
Laurence shook his head with disdain.
Then he said, "Let's go in. Hurry."
However, when they got to the gate, they were stopped by the bodyguards.
"Please show me your invitation."
Michael glanced at Laurence. Laurence took out the invitation with a proud face.
One bodyguard checked it and then said coldly, "Sorry. You are on the blacklist, so you are not allowed
in."
"What? Blacklist?"
His words shocked Alfred and the Collins family.
