PopularNovelThe party was taking place at Seasons Hotel, and there were a lot of familiar faces.
Tristan had brought Zachary along since Archibald wanted the latter to know people from the business world at
an early age.
Tristan looked at Zachary, who was barely as tall as his knees, and said, "Remember to callDad later, brat.
Don't just callmister." Zachary looked back up at him. "What should I call you?"
"Dad."
"Attaboy."
Tristan speechlessly looked at the boy, who looked similar to Xavier when he'd been a child. Then, he slapped
Zachary on the butt, thinking he had to punish and discipline the child while he was still young.
It felt like a childhood dream ctrue to Tristan. When he'd been young, Xavier had often hit him.
When Zachary was hit, his face flushed in embarrassment, and he immediately stood away from Tristan.

After Tristan perfunctorily introduced Zachary to speople, he started drinking in a corner. He didn't like
events like this at all because it all felt fake to him. There were many people who cto flatter him, but he
chased them away in annoyance. As a child, Zachary had no choice but to follow Tristan around. Suddenly, he
saw a beautiful figure from afar. It was Daphne.
"Mister, | want to use the washroom."
"Go by yourself," said Tristan.
Zachary rolled his eyes at Tristan when he saw how the latter treated a kid like himself. After all, he was only four
years old. What if he was abducted?
When Zachary left by himself, Tristan wasn't worried at all. Since Zachary was so smart, he was certain the boy
wouldn't get lost. However, he would soon regret making that careless mistake.
Daphne immediately saw Tristan when she arrived at the party. Although she had Jeremiah's promise, she was
still afraid. So, she purposely hid somewhere secluded.
Trevor saw Daphne at a glance and walked toward her. "Long tno see, Ms. Reyes."
When she saw him, she started shooting him an alluring gaze. "Long tno see, Mr. Lumber."
She had forgotten that the man in front of her was Yvonne's fiancé. Trevor knew a lot of women, and it was clear
that Daphne was interested in him. So, he happily chatted with her.
Zachary squeezed through the
crowd and saw the two of them talking. He took out his smartwatch to snap sphotos of them. Just as he was
about to mess with her, he heard someone in the crowd saying, "Xavier's here."
"Isn't Xavier blind? Why is he here at the party? Is he here with a white cane?"
"Someone's probably guiding him."
Then, there was laughter in the crowd. Zachary frowned slightly. Although he didn't like Xavier, he was still the
latter's son. He wouldn't let anyone other than himself bully Xavier.
He walked to the person who was laughing arrogantly the most. Then, he pretended to have tripped and grabbed
that person's pants. With a loud rip, he pulled the pants off the man's legs. en

"Oh, no! I'm sorry, mister. It was an accident."
Everyone else looked toward them. The man who'd mocked Xavier first looked at how his pants were destroyed.
His cartoon underwear had been exposed, and his face turned red immediately. "You brat!" He lifted his hand to
hit Zachary, but there was no way the latter would stand there and get hit. Instead, Zachary ran away
immediately.
The man wanted to go after him, but
he hadn't pulled his pants back up and almost tripped because of it. Everyone burst out into laughter. So, he had
no choice but to put his
pants back on first.
The commotion attracted Xavier and Mark's attention as well. However, Zachary was too small for Mark to spot
him in the crowd.
After Xavier had arrived, many people started to talk to him. However, their gazes were filled with disdain.
Mark thought about how they would beg to work with Xavier in the future despite looking down on him at that
moment.
