Chapter 746 He Must Have A Death Wish
The villa was packed with guests who wore joyful expressions on their faces. They regarded it as a great honor to be invited to a birthday party hosted by the head of the Jefferson family
The guest list consisted of members of the upper-class society, who had at first, too, found it hard to believe that the Jefferson family would hold a birthday celebration in a small town like Nebula City. However, the invitation had come from Flynn himself, king of the underground of Nebula City Thus they reckoned there was no reason for such an influential figure to fool them
Alex was still nowhere to be seen when Shane entered the villa Gazing at the sea of faces that had shown up for the party, the latter could not help but be intrigued by his impostor's identity as well. He figured whoever it was must know what he was doing to gather such an impressive crowd, albeit having accomplished that only by using his influence.
Walking to the middle of the venue, Shane clapped his hands several times to draw the crowd's attention toward himself. "Good day, everyone. My name is Shane Jefferson, the actual head of the Jefferson family. I came here today to replace out which bold man it was who dared to throw this party in my name."
As soon as he finished his speech, the venue was in an uproar. Some of them had met Shane before, so they instantly realized they had been fooled when they heard his words.
"So he's the real patriarch of the Jefferson family! We've all been deceived!"
"Who's the impostor? How brazen of him to impersonate as the head of the Jefferson family!"
"I think whoever it is must be tired of living!"
The scene descended into a state of frenzy as the guests exchanged disparaging remarks about the impostor and demanded to know his identity.
Tyrael, Jason, and Stefan, who were also present at the party, frowned at the turn of events. They had not" expected this to happen.
When Flynn sent them the invitation, he had told them directly it was for the birthday party of Alex's son. However, they had no idea Flynn had been publicizing the event as one held by the head of the Jefferson family.
They reckoned Alex would definitely be in trouble since Shane had turned up at the party.
Unfortunately, they were merely members of the upper-class families of Nebula City and were considered insignificant compared to the powerful Jeffersons of Lumenopolis. Thus, they had no hopes of helping him at all.
At that moment, Alex, Flynn, and a few other guys entered the venue, pushing a cart that held a lavish five-tiered cake on top. They attracted everyone's attention at once.
Amid the crowd, someone shouted, "That's the impostor who used your name. Mr. Jefferson!"
Shane's head swiveled in Alex's direction. Upon recognizing the man's face, he was so terrified that he almost passed out.
Instinctively glancing at his broken finger, he saw the vivid memory of Alex driving his mother to her death flashing through his mind.
Just then, someone tapped Shane on the shoulder, giving him such a fright that his knees buckled, and he fell limply to the ground. Turning around and realizing it was only Felix, he snapped, "Good grief! You almost scared me to death!"
A second later, he got back on his feet. As he glanced at Alex, who was still a long distance away, the only thoughts he had in mind were ways to run away.
Yona sniggered. "That's all it takes to scare you to death? What a loser! I've just texted my grandpa and informed him that the good-for-nothing. Alex, is here. He's on his way."
She was just as stunned when she recognized Alex earlier, but hatred soon flooded over her. After all, he was the murderer of her father.
Since her grandfather was back in circulation, she went ahead and reported the news to him right away.
Fear fled Shane's mind as soon as he heard her utterance, for he knew Uriah was a Master.
You're dead meat, Alex Jefferson!
Although he did not like being reproached so harshly by Yona, he knew full well of her cold and overbearing nature and thus did not attempt to retort in fear of provoking her.
"Huh! I was just wondering which pinheaded man would be so bold as to pose as me. So it's you. Alex Jefferson, the disowned son of the Jefferson family!" stated Shane, pointing at Alex accusatorily. He had suddenly regained his confidence upon hearing that his grandfather would be arriving soon.
Alex was miffed, to say the least. All he wanted was to give Stanley a proper birthday celebration, but all these people kept popping out of nowhere and would not stop bugging him.
After ordering Flynn to push the cart away. Alex went to Shane and spoke in a flat tone. "You must have a death wish for coming here, Shane Jefferson. Are you really so eager to reunite with your mother in the afterworld?"
The crowd was stunned when they heard him utter those words.
Did that impostor actually address the head of the Jefferson family by his full name and threaten to kill him? He must be mad!
