Chapter 101: Birthday Party At The Turner Family
Anna was now full of arrogance and feeling very pleased with herself.
Especially when she saw Mary's darkened face, she became even more smug and said, "Mary, I'm not trying to criticize you, but how could you let William buy such a gift for Grandpa? If you don't have enough money to buy a decent gift, just tell me. After all, I am your sister."
As she spoke, Anna took out an LV wallet from her Gucci bag and pulled out a bank card. Handing it to Mary, she said, "Don't say I don’t help you. There are still a few thousand dollars on this card, leftover from when Terry bought me a bag. Take it and go buy another gift from the store. You don't need to pay me back. I’m not short of money."
How arrogant and conceited Anna was at this moment!
In her eyes, Mary looked like a joke.
"Thanks, Anna." Before Mary could speak, William reached out and took the card, smiling faintly.
Anna snorted, shaking her head helplessly. Indeed, such a useless person was so shameless.
Mary glared at William, about to speak, but William pressed her hand and smiled. "Anna means well. Just take it. I'll return the money to Anna later."
William didn't want Mary to have an unpleasant confrontation with Anna right now.
Mary said nothing, which was a tacit agreement, but her face burned with embarrassment.
She already had conflicts with Anna. Now taking Anna's money made her lose even more dignity.
Anna sneered. "William, you are really shameless."
After that, they were in silence.
William kept holding Mary's hand, playing with the small box in his other hand.
What a ridiculous world!
William thought, ‘I am always being ridiculed and looked down upon. But little do you know that the small box in my hand contains wealth that the entire Turner family can’t even dream of.’
After a while, Margaret and Tyler came out.
They reluctantly got into the car, not wanting to say a word to William.
As soon as she got in, Margaret started looking around. Indeed, it was a nice car, very comfortable to sit in.
Margaret thought, 'When they get back, I must ask Mary for Mrs. White's contact information. Last time, they only got the car key, and the car's location is still unknown.'
Margaret had checked that it was a Maserati, a luxury car!
If she could drive that car around, it would be very impressive.
If not, she would buy one herself. It had to be better than this car to suppress Dorothy.
Soon, the car set off, heading straight for Yangville.
The Turner family estate was located next to the hills of Yangville, nestled in the mountains, which was very suitable for retirement.
This was also why Roy chose to return to Yangville.
Roy, the head of the Turner family, had been living here since his retirement, tending to flowers and plants.
Moreover, Roy's four children were all very successful. Except for Margaret, who married Tyler and lived an average life, the other children held important positions in the political or business circles of Lindwood City.
The Turner family was considered a prominent family in Lindwood City with overwhelming power here. In particular, Roy had many students across the business and political worlds, with extensive connections in various fields.
Therefore, as long as Roy was alive, the Turner family would continue to thrive.
At this moment, Roy was in the courtyard and looked at the distant mountain road, waiting for his children to return.
Over the years, he had taken too little care of Margaret mainly because of Tyler, who had brought considerable disgrace to the Turner family.
Roy was a traditional man. Mary had married a man with nothing but a child before marriage, causing rumors about the Turner family in Lindwood City.
So, in a burst of anger, Roy cut ties with Margaret, only seeing her once a year.
Especially at the thought of his beloved Mary marrying such a man, Roy turned cold.
Roy had already heard from Dorothy that William would be coming today.
Now, there were many rumors about William in the Turner family. Many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Roy did nothing to stop it because he didn't like William either. It was time to teach William a lesson and make him realize that not just anyone could step into the Turner family.
"Grandpa, we don't know when Margaret and the others will arrive. You should go back and rest. I'll wait here," said Wade, who stood beside him with a cold and arrogant demeanor, smiling and acting very obedient.
Roy nodded, looking at Wade with great affection. Leaning on his cane, he entered the courtyard with Wade's support.
After sending Roy inside, Wade came back out.
At this moment, several young people were standing at the entrance. They were all members of the Turner family.
"Wade, what should we do later?" The speaker was a young man, full of arrogance, dressed in expensive clothes.
He was Daniel, the youngest son of Roy's eldest son, David. He was the same age as Wade and they had grown up together.
So, their personalities were quite similar, both being arrogant and spoiled brats.
Wade coldly smiled and said, "Of course, we need to teach that loser William a lesson and humiliate Mary."
Daniel nodded in agreement, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
They all had a grudge against Mary.
Because when they were young, Mary was always the outstanding one, and none of them could compare to her.
So today, they were determined to teach her a lesson.
As for William, they had to humiliate him thoroughly.
Only the cold and aloof girl standing beside them remained silent.
Her name was Emily, David's second daughter, the same age as Mary, but still unmarried.
She disdained the childish antics of her brothers and turned to leave, saying coldly, "I'm going to leave."
"Emily, come on. Stay and watch the show," Wade said, winking and smiling.
Emily frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to stay. She decided to help Mary if necessary.
After all, they were sisters.
To be honest, Emily had presented when Mary got married, and she never had a good impression of William.
In her eyes, no man deserved her attention.
After all, Emily was a high achiever with a master's degree from MIT, a true academic star.
So, men were less interesting to her than a few books.
This was why Emily was still single.
Just then, a black Lincoln pulled up to the courtyard entrance.
William and Mary got out first, followed by Margaret and Tyler.
Seeing Wade and the others at the entrance, Mary panicked and tugged at William's hand, whispering, "William, are you sure it's okay? Maybe you should go back."
Mary was anxious that William would be humiliated and criticized.
Although she now knew that William's family ran the Polaris Sky Restaurant, it still seemed insignificant when compared to the Turner family.
Among the second generation of the Turner family, except for Margaret, David held a high position in politics with significant power.
Dorothy married a local businessman in Lindwood City, worth three to four hundred million, involved in real estate with some connections.
The youngest son, Andy, created his business empire successfully, expanding beyond Lindwood City with branches in eight major cities nationwide, mainly in trade, especially overseas trade, with assets worth a billion.
However, William squeezed Mary's hand and smiled. "Mary, trust me. It's okay."
The Turner family was nothing to William.
Compared to him, they were like ants.
If they dared to provoke him, William wouldn't mind letting everyone know the truth today.
There was an insurmountable chasm between the Turner family and William, an untouchable taboo!
Since the night he met Jessica, William had been prepared for the day his identity would be revealed.
Mary thought for a moment and nodded. If things got really bad, she would tell everyone that William's family was wealthy and he ran the Polaris Sky Restaurant.
Maybe then they would have a newfound respect for him.
Margaret saw Mary and William still flirting and got even angrier, snorting coldly.
At this moment, Wade walked over with a mocking smile and sneered. "Isn't this Mary's loser husband? You came this time too. That's great. Long time no see."
William looked up and saw Wade's mocking face.
They couldn't wait to humiliate William.
The Turner family had always been mean and arrogant.
The surrounding siblings and elders who came out to watch the commotion all cast strange looks, full of ridicule, indifference, and disdain.
It was as if William was a clown.
It was obvious that William wouldn't dare to speak up.
A loser had no right to speak.
However, to everyone's surprise, William calmly smiled and said, "Wade, don't look down on me. I don't like being stared at by a dog."
