Chapter 74

Jonathan's words made Pamela's smile grow even wider. She had certainly heard of the gold mask.

Bennett Group's cosmetics company owned countless top brands, but the gold mask was by far the most famous. The product was not available to ordinary people. The revolutionary skin-repairing mask was developed by a top tier medical team using cutting-edge technology. The technology even won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

However, due to the rare ingredients used, the production was extremely limited. Only a small supply was available each year, and it was reserved exclusively for the most esteemed VIP Clients of Bennett Group

Pamela recalled that last time, a friend of Caroline's from Betrich had given her one of those coveted masks. During afiemoon tea, Caroline proudly showed it off to everyone.

And right then, Jonathan had given Pamela an entire box of the masks. A whole box! Pamela was so excited she couldn't stop admiring the masks. She quickly decided that she would give two pieces to both Caroline and Alice Ziegler at tomorrow's tea party. Pamela warmly welcomed Jonathan and Cynthia into the house. She said, "You must be hungry, L

room to eat."

Soon, the whole family was sitting in the dining room. head to the dining

Yasmine had also returned. Jonathan had prepared gifts for everyone. Knowing that Henry loved coffee, Jonathan brought him Red Hibernia, the finest coffee in the world. Since Matthew also enjoyed calligraphy, Jonathan had thoughtfully included a calligraphy set with a rare, high-quality pen. Matthew smiled happily as he received the gifts.

Yasmine stared at Jonathan expectantly. "What about me? Did you get a gift for me, too?"

Jonathan smiled and said. "Of course, I have a gift for you. It's the ticket to Ethan's concert."

"Ahhhh!" Yasmine suddenly screamed. Ethan wasn't just the best actor-he was also the king of music and Yasmine's idol. Tickets for his concert were nearly impossible to get, and Yasmine had been trying for ages without success.

"It's a VIP seat! My dear brother-in-law, I love you so much," Yasmine said.

Jonathan was stunned and asked, "What did you call me?"

Yasmine said, "You're Cynthia's boyfriend. What's wrong with me calling you brother-in-law?"

Yasmine was well aware of everything happening within her family. Her mother had announced just yesterday that, from then on, Cynthia would be her sister, not just her sister-in-law

But to Yasmine, that wasn't new. She had always seen Cynthia as her sister since childhood and was even closer to her than she was to Filip.

Pamela suddenly grew anxious. Yasmine had always been outspoken, often saying whatever came to mind without thinking. Although Cynthia and Jonathan were in a relationship then, calling him "brother-in-law seemed a bit premature. Will he misunderstand and think Cynthia is pushing for a formal title? Pamela worried silently.

But in the next second, Jonathan's eyes crinkled with amusement, and he said, "TII share Ethan's WhatsApp with you later." Yasmine was so excited that she nearly flipped the table. "Jonathan, you're the best! You're amazing!" she exclaimed. Yasmine was thrilled to have Jonathan as her brother-in-law, replaceing him far better than her brother, Filip.

Pamela felt the same way-having Jonathan as a son-in-law was wonderful. Of course, she knew that Cynthia and Jonathan's relationship might not last forever, and there would likely be many obstacles ahead if they wanted to stay together. Chapter 74

Still, Pamela treated Cynthia like a daughter, and Jonathan had proven to be impeccable as a potential son-in-law in every

way.

While Pamela was happy for Cynthia, she couldn't help but feel hit tad, She had always teen Cynthia as her future daughter-in-law, ever since she was young

But when she thought about the mistakes her son had made, Pamela felt a sense of relief. It was better for Cynthia to remain like a daughter to her. After all the hardships and misery Cynthia has endured, she truly deserves someone who would love and cherish her. Pamela thought.

They finished the meal in a happy and harmonious atmosphere until Filip returned.

When Filip stumbled into the house, drunk, he was startled to see a table full of people eating, talking, and laughing. To his shock, Cynthia was there.

The moment his eyes landed on her, it felt like his heart was being squeezed. The pain was so intense that he could hardly breathe. He hadn't been to the office that day, and his phone had been off the entire day.

Filip had been drinking at a bar owned by Kevin. In his drunken state, he blurted out everything that had been weighing on him. After hearing the whole story, Kevin bluntly told Filip that he deserved it.

You grew up with Cynthia. You should know her better than anyone. Yet, a woman sets a trap to provoke you, and you let it poison your trust in Cynthia's love? Don't you think you deserve all this after what you did?" Kevin's words car through Filip

"Even Tobias Sheen, the most naive of us all, can see the hypocrisy behind Lilian's facade. But you? You're so obsessed with her, convinced she's the most innocent woman in the world. And now, look where that's gotten you-Lilian's pregnant There's no going back to Cynthia now," Kevin continued..

Filip didn't want to hear any more of Kevin's scolding. He turned on his phone and saw countless missed calls-all from Lilian

He was full of resentment toward Lilian and didn't want to talk to her. But at the same time, no one else seemed to care about him except for her.

Just then, he had the sudden urge to go home. He hadn't expected to walk in on such a scene when he came home. Cynthia was sitting at the table, and next to her was Jonathan, who was chatting and laughing with Matthew.

Matthew looked at Jonathan with approval, almost as if he were looking at his own grandson. Filip's heart sank further when he saw that his parents were doing the same.

Meanwhile, Yasmine was holding her phone. Suddenly, she exclaimed excitedly, "Jonathan, he replied to my message! Jonathan, you're so awesome. You're the best brother-in-law in the world!"

At the sound of the word "brother-in-law," Filip's blood rushed to his head. His fists clenched, the veins on the back of his hands bulging with tension.

"Yasmine, who are you calling 'brother-in-law? Filip's sudden outburst shattered the lively atmosphere in the dining room. Everyone turned to the door and saw Filip standing there, his expression dark and sullen

Filip was usually composed and well-mannered. But right then, his red eyes, unshaven face, and disheveled appearance starkly contrasted with his usual self. He reeked of booze and looked quite shabby

as she looked at Filip. No matter how disappointed she felt, he was still her son. She walked over to him and asked worriedly, "Why are you back?"

Pamela stood up, her emotions a mix of anger and concern Why are you back?"

But Yasmine blurted out, "Yeah, Filip. It's embarrassing for you to come back now."

Filip rarely returned to the Yates residence anymore. He had been living elsewhere with Lilian.

Chapter 74

Filip's anger was palpable as he snapped. "I have come back to my home. Do I need to report it first? Yasmine, are you my sister or not?

Yasmine pouted and said nothing.

Matthew turned around and scolded coldly, "You haven't been back in a long time. Even Yasmine, who's still in school, comes home more often than you."

Filip's fingers clenched, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Pamela couldn't bear to see her son in that state and said, "Look at yourself. You look pathetic. We have guests at home today. Go take a shower and change your clothes before coming back down."

Filip was drunk, but at that moment, his mind felt sharp and clear. Across the room, Jonathan sat, well-dressed in a crisp white shirt, exuding an air of untouchable authority.

Jonathan's calm, indifferent gaze settled on Filip, making the latter feel small despite standing while Jonathan sat.
