Chapter 24
"You—"
Caleb was infuriated at the sight of Kingsley.
"Father, this is the guy who parked his old Volkswagen Santana in front of our house! I think he's here to make a scene!"
As Yulia looked over at Kingsley while he stood tall and dignified among the crowd, he exuded a manly attribute that was rarely seen in young men nowadays. On top of that, she stared at him wistfully as she had seemingly fallen for him after he got her out of trouble earlier on.
After Randy's plan had been ruined, rage seized him as he gritted his teeth. "Someone come and get rid of this man!" he growled.
When he heard that, Kingsley smirked impassively and cracked his neck. "I've not been in a fight for a while, and this is a great opportunity for me to flex my muscles!"
"Kingsley, don't be rash." Gavin, who was seated next to him, suddenly said. "Let's not alert the Summers Family."
Immediately after, Gavin slowly stood up and told Randy, "He is my nephew. I apologize if he has offended the Summers Family."
This…
The muscle on Randy's face twitched, for he did not have the guts to offend Gavin. Even though shame
had been brought upon him, he had to accept it with a smile.
"Since he's your nephew, then I shall let it go." Randy barely squeezed out a smile and added, "Let's continue with the banquet without letting this little episode affect everyone's mood."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall raised their glasses and smiled while pretending to laugh. The atmosphere suddenly became deceptively lively.
Then, Kingsley waved at Yulia. "Come and sit here, pretty girl."
The uneasy Yulia immediately went over as if she'd met her savior. "Thank you," said Yulia shyly once she was seated.
"No worries, you can buy me a meal when you're free," answered Kingsley with a smile. Since it wasn't a good time to rekindle their brother-sister relationship, he decided that he would give her a surprise the next time they met.
Caleb, whose forehead was throbbing red, noticed his father's bitter expression. He immediately took over the microphone and announced, "According to tradition, the next segment should be the gifting session, but my father says that the birthday banquet is a gathering for everyone to enjoy themselves, so he will not accept birthday gifts from anyone."
Right after that, everyone in the crowd spoke up. "How can that be? You should receive presents from us!"
"That's right, since the presents are our token of sincerity, you should accept them!" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Among the guests, ninety percent of them had business relations with the Summers Family. Some distant relatives tried to forge relationships using lavish gifts.
As Randy listened to the crowd's flattery, he beamed and chirped, "In that case, I shall oblige and accept your gifts!"
Once Randy gave the green light, everyone presented to him their carefully curated presents, ranging from jewelry, antique paintings, and so on. The hall was instantly filled with expensive gifts.
After everyone had presented their gifts, Caleb glared at Kingsley sinisterly. "Since that kid is here to attend a birthday banquet, don't tell me he didn't prepare any gifts."
The next moment, everyone turned their attention to Kingsley. "Looking at the way he's dressed, what can he possibly offer?"
"How dare he attend an elderly's birthday banquet without bringing a gift? How impudent of him!"
"Mr. Tanner might help him out of pity. Let's just hope that he doesn't humiliate Mr. Tanner."
As he listened to everyone's criticism, Caleb glanced over at Kingsley, waiting for the moment when he would make a fool out of himself in front of everyone.
"I have a PIN-less credit card that you could give to him as a present," Gavin whispered.
"There's no need for that." Kingsley shook his head and rejected.
After that, he stood up and waved at Kayla in front of everyone. "You there—come over and receive the gifts."
"Me?" Kayla was stunned as she looked over at Caleb.
"Go on, let's see what he's going to do." Caleb nodded.
Kingsley beamed. "I have prepared two gifts today, the first one is—"
As he spoke, he shot a cold glare at Kayla before slapping her in the face. A loud slapping sound was heard, and Kayla's front tooth flew out!
"The first gift is to teach Young Master Summer's contemptuous lover a lesson on his behalf!"
Everyone was stunned as they never expected him to hit someone!
As he turned to look at Yulia, he asked, "Does she often bully you?"
Before she could reply, he stomped on Kayla's stomach and asked coldly, "Mr. Summers, do you like this gift?"
Kayla vomited blood and fell to the ground after she was kicked. Her mini skirt that merely covered her buttocks was rolled up, revealing her undergarments.
Alas, no one was in the mood to enjoy it.
Everyone focused their attention on Kingsley, fearing what he was about to do next!
"You!"
Randy was so angry that he flew into a rage. "How dare you behave atrociously at my birthday banquet, you—"
Before he could complete his sentence, Kingsley went up the stage and snatched the microphone from Caleb before announcing, "My second gift is for Randy and the rest of the Summers to leave Summers Residence in a month!"
When they heard that, everyone in the hall started a heated discussion!
He was too brazen!
How did he have the guts to ask the Summers Family to leave Summers Residence?!
"You insolent little brat! Don't think that you can do whatever you want with Mr. Tanner's backing!"
"What's wrong? Don't you like my gifts?" Kingsley's glare was piercingly cold. "I'm being kind enough to give you a month," he added.
Randy was about to go berserk, for the birthday banquet that he'd been planning for some time had been ruined by a brat! If he had to endure such humiliation, how would the Summers Family be able to establish a foothold in Cleapolis in the future?
"Someone! Come and seize this brat!"
