Chapter - 160

Actually, Sam was the one behind everything. Ever since he got word that Reinz Pharmaceutical would set up a factory nearby the Hill village, he realized there must have been rare herbs nearby the village.

Hence, he pulled his connections and made use of everything he got to get in touch with those from Reinz Pharmaceutical.

Reinz Pharmaceutical was related to the militant while Sam was part of the military. As a result, he had managed to get in touch with those from Reinz Pharmaceutical easily.

He held a banquet for those from Reinz Pharmaceutical because he wanted to figure out some insider information.

Meanwhile, Sam invited Adam to the banquet because he was trying to pick on Lacey.

He knew it was her coming of age ceremony. If she couldn’t get her grandfather’s blessing, she would be embarrassed and treated as a jinx.

Adam tried to end their conversation. “That’s all I have to tell you. Please stop calling me.”

“Dad! Please! You have to at least show up even though you can’t take part in the ceremony…” Daniel begged his father.

However, Adam had already hung up the call.

Daniel was utterly disappointed.

He had never expected his father to be such a cruel man. Adam was really willing to forsake and neglect his own granddaughter’s coming of age ceremony.

In fact, the reason Adam couldn’t take part was none other than the participation in a banquet held by Daniel’s foe.

Daniel was abhorred over his cruel father’s decision.

Hannah asked, “Daniel, what did the old geezer say? Is he coming on his own, or does he want us to pick him up?”

Daniel lowered his head and sighed. “Sigh… He won’t be coming to Lacey’s coming of age ceremony because he has promised Madeleine to participate in her banquet.”

“What? He has to show up!” Hannah could no longer keep her cool anymore when she heard what her husband said.

“My family has been looking down on me all along! If old geezer refuses to show up, I will be humiliated in front of those from my family!”

“No! He must show up! Go make another call!”

Daniel took a deep breath. “Sigh. I don’t think making another call will change anything. Judging by his tone, he’s determined not to show up at Lacey’s ceremony.”

Hannah broke into tears immediately. “Daniel! You… I must have had been blind back then to get married to such a loser like you!”

“I don’t mind embarrassing myself in front of my family, but it’s your daughter’s coming of age ceremony that we’re talking about! The ceremony isn’t a complete ceremony without her grandfather!”

“You have no rights to be my husband! You don’t deserve to be Lacey’s father!”

Daniel lowered his head. “I’m so sorry! I’m the useless one here!”

Hannah went on, shouting hysterically.

Lacey and Zeke rushed over when they heard the commotion.

After they figured out what happened, Lacey’s eyes brimmed with tears, feeling aggrieved as well.

“Grandpa is so mean! He has never once treated us as part of the family! I’ve never come across a grandfather like him before!”

Daniel blamed himself for what happened, “Lacey, it’s my fault! I’m the useless one! I’m but a coward! Please scold me instead! I will feel better if you scold me.”

Zeke tried to comfort Daniel, “Dad, don’t worry. I’m sure they will show up at the birthday banquet.”

Daniel heaved a long sigh, “I know my father better than anyone else. I’m sure he won’t show up because that’s what he has in his mind!”

Suddenly, Hannah’s phone rang. She received a call from her brother.

She tried her best to regain her composure and picked up the call, “Brother, I was about to call you too.”

“What? You guys are waiting for us at Grand Millenium Hotel? Aren’t you guys dropping by our place first?”

“Mm. Okay. I’ll be there immediately.”

Hannah asked with a confused look on her face after she hung up the call. “That’s odd. I didn’t tell my family the banquet will be held at Grand Millenium Hotel. Why did they show up at the hotel out of the blue?”

“Forget about it. Lacey, let’s get going immediately. We’ll head over to Grand Millenium Hotel right away. Your grandmother, uncle, and aunty are all waiting for you.”

Hence, Lacey and her family left in a hurry.

Zeke insisted to be the last to depart. He took the opportunity to text Xavier.

Do me a favour. Someone told me the Clemons invited those from Reinz Pharmaceutical because they wanted to figure out the plan we have for the herb plantation?
