Jasmine was the best candidate as his son's wife! 3

Donald was a little hesitant and indecisive when he thought of it.

Following Donald's gloomy silence, the atmosphere turned into an awkward reticence.

Reuben secretly punched his knuckles in dismay when he witnessed this awkward scene. 1

If both families fought and generated an irreversible crack or in the worst-case scenario, turned against each other, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Moore family! 4 More importantly, Jasmine would be even more unlikely to marry Sean! 1

If Jasmine didn't marry him, his position as the future heir would be unstable! 2

Even if he was appointed as the head of the family, Jasmine might have a part in the family's inheritance! 3

He was determined to not let Jasmine stay with the Moore family, and so, he would definitely oppose strongly for Jasmine to marry Charlie and let him live in their house!

Therefore, he hurriedly stood up to lighten the mood and said, "Hey, Uncle Webb, Sean, today is my grandfather's birthday, so, he is the king of the day.

Please calm down and relax, let's not destroy our harmonious friendship." 4

Reuben was offering a chance for everyone to ease the mood and buffer.

Donald was still in a black mood. He didn't want to turn things sour between both families, but he was still infuriated by the embarrassment. 1

As the saying went, 'you cannot sell the cow and drink the milk', but Lord Moore actually wanted both. If he had to choose one of the two, he would undoubtedly choose Charlie. However, since he didn't have to choose, he definitely wanted both. 1

Hence, Reuben's interjection offered a chance for both men to reconcile temporarily. 1

Donald cleared his throat and started, "Reuben is right. Today is Uncle Moore's 80th birthday, I can't ruin it. Uncle, I'm sorry for what happened just now, I was too impulsive. I hope you can forgive me!" 3 In this way, not only did he give himself an out but also Lord Moore.

As the junior, he had taken the initiative to apologize on the grounds of Lord Moore's birthday and he had also shown that he was respectful to the elder as well as saving his own face.

In his opinion, the right choice for the moment was to ease the confrontation between himself and Lord Moore. As for Charlie, he had a million ways to kill him after the party was over later! 6

A warmth slowly spread over Lord Moore's face. He nodded and said, "Yes, harmony brings wealth. I don't want everyone to be in an unpleasant mood on this auspicious day either."

Then, he turned to Charlie and asked, "Master Wade, what do you think?"

Charlie found Donald and Sean repulsive, but he didn't need Lord Moore to stand up for him. He preferred to torment and punish these pretentious b*stards himself. 2

Nevertheless, today was indeed Lord Moore's birthday banquet. It was unnecessary for him to make a scene with the other guests here. Even if he wanted to fight them, they should take the fight outside out of respect for the owner of the house. 1

Thus, he said flatly, "Lord Moore, you are the boss today, the ultimate decision is on you."

Lord Moore hurriedly laughed and said, "Huh, it's just a misunderstanding, it's great that everyone can talk it through! Come, come, let's move to the banquet hall, the party is about to begin!"

The wrath of resentment and unpleasantness was still burning wildly inside Sean's heart, and his eyes almost burst into flames as he glared at Charlie, but he couldn't do anything since the adults had reached a truce. 5

He simply glared at Charlie with his murderous glances and cursed inwardly, 'B*stard, you'll be done

soon!'
