Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Three days later, Peony was finally well enough to be discharged from the hospital.

The hospital staff said her recovery was incredible. Peony’s injuries were so bad that it was expected that she would be in the hospital for a month, but she managed to completely recover in three days and go through the discharge formalities.

In celebration of Peony’s discharge from the hospital, the Murphy family hosted a party at home, inviting many friends and relatives to commemorate Peony’s recovery.

Jackson also left the hospital on the same day. He invited Clarence to the Hayes family house.

However, Clarence turned Jackson down because he had to attend Peony’s recovery party.

“Mom, I wish you a speedy recovery!”

Belle was very filial, the friends and relatives at the party approving of her behavior.

“Mom, this is the wild ginseng from the north that Kaysen had someone send here. It’ll help you keep your body in good condition.” Melody gave her the gift.

Miranda also stuffed the premium bird’s nest she had prepared into Peony’s hands.

Penny was quite emotional over the fact that she had survived. “I heard Clarence saved my life this time.”

The Murphy family’s relatives froze and looked at Clarence.

They had heard about Clarence running into the operating room to perform a ritual dance for Peony. Did Clarence really save Peony?

Belle’s expression sank. “Mom, you’ve got that wrong. You’re saying Clarence saved you?

“He rushed into the operating theatre and performed a ritual dance while you were dying.

“If it weren’t for the surveillance footage, we would’ve thought he saved your life!”

Melody added, “It was Kaysen who gave Dr. White three hundred thousand dollars to save Mom. Why is Clarence getting the credit?”

Kaysen said nonchalantly, “As long as it’d save Mom’s life, I’d spend three million dollars, so don’t even mention those three hundred thousand dollars!”

“Kaysen’s so filial!”

“Yeah! Aunt, you’re so lucky to have a son-in-law like him.”

“Congratulations on having such a good son-in-law!”

Several relatives praised Kaysen.

Peony frowned and looked at Clarence with a strange expression.

Clarence was silent and did not explain himself.

Peony found it odd. She was sure that she had dreamt of Clarence calling her to come back to life.

‘Did I just imagine the dream?’

“Clarence, won’t you explain what happened?” Peony looked at Clarence.

Clarence shook his head. “There’s nothing to explain. Everything’s okay as long as you’re okay, Mom.”

“Yo, why are you pretending?”

“How dare you say it’s okay as long as Mom’s okay! I remember you cursing her in the ward!”

“That’s right. Why pretend as if you care about her?”

“We’re living in the modern era now, yet you’re still superstitious enough to perform some ritual dance for her. You’re so uncultured. How pathetic!”

“Fortunately, Mom’s alright. If anything had happened to Mom, you’d be the first to suffer my wrath!”

Belle and Melody each took turns to make crude remarks.

Clarence was so used to those two that he did not bother entertaining their jeers.

“Oh! Forget it, let’s go eat.”

Since Clarence had not defended himself, Peony shrugged it off, believing she was overthinking things, and decided that her daughters were probably right.

Once the party began, everyone toasted to Kaysen saving Peony.

Clarence was ignored.

“Kaysen, I heard you won the bid for the Sunshine District project. It costs two billion!”

“I’ll toast to your success. I happen to manufacture construction materials, so feel free to ask if there’s anything I can do for you,” a relative of the Murphy family said with a smile.

Kaysen smiled faintly. “Uncle Wesley, I’m sorry, but I’ve already found another supplier.”

“Well... Oh, never mind. There’s always next time!

“You’re so young and promising, I’m sure there’ll be many more similar opportunities in your future!” Uncle Wesley patted his head.

“Kaysen, my son just graduated from college. Can he join your company?” A middle-aged woman looked expectant.

Kaysen asked casually, “Aunt Wendy, what did your son study?”

“Son, quickly tell Brother Kaysen what you studied in college.”

Aunt Wendy pushed her son forward.

“Brother Kaysen, I studied interior design,” the young man said hurriedly.

Kaysen nodded a little. “Okay! You can intern at my company after you get your diploma. I’ll make you a permanent employee after you train for two years.”

“Thank you, Kaysen. My cousin’s so blessed to have a son-in-law like you!”

Aunt Wendy lavished praise onto Kaysen.

The atmosphere at the wine table was a harmonious one.

Halfway through the meal, however, a group of uniformed men barged into the party. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Everyone froze, their spoons and forks in midair, and stared at the men in shock.

“Who’s Kaysen Wall?”

“I am. What’s the matter?” Kaysen was drunk. He stood up immediately.

“Cuff him and take him away!”

As soon as the leading uniformed man waved his hand, the men behind him immediately stepped forward and handcuffed Kaysen.

Kaysen instantly sobered up. “What’s going on? I haven’t broken the law. Why are you arresting me?”

The middle-aged man sneered. “Haha! Yes, you didn’t break the law. Sunshine District’s your project, right? A construction accident occurred in the district and we suspect you’re cutting corners with the construction materials. The foundation collapsed just now, and two people died!”

“What?”

Kaysen instantly turned pale.

He had bought cheap construction materials to get kickbacks, thinking everything would work out fine. Who knew that people would be killed after they had just barely begun work on building the foundation?

The entire party fell silent.
