Meanwhile, Keith was on the phone. “Baby, I miss you too. Don’t worry, I haven’t told my parents about us yet… Did you tell your brother? If he finds out we’re dating, he might kill me.”
“Baby, it would be great if you were here with me now, I miss your sweet scent.”
“How am I being a flirt? We’ve been dating for three years, and I’m still a virgin. When do you plan to finally make me yours?”
“Okay, okay, don’t be mad. Joy, why did you hang up on me again?” Keith asked.
Harvey was in Hector’s room playing video games while Hector stood on the second–floor balcony.
His gaze wandered through the lush trees to the house next door. The lights shone brightly, and he could faintly hear the loud music, suggesting a lively atmosphere. Hector suddenly felt like going over.
Hector thought, ‘Maybe I could just go over and wish Naomi a happy birthday and then come back. Just as Hector was planning to go downstairs, he noticed a black Mercedes van pulling into the villa’s driveway.
It seemed like Sam’s guests had arrived. A hint of disappointment flashed in Hector’s eyes, but he still returned to the room and called out to Harvey, “Come on, the guests are here.”
Hector was the first to head downstairs to greet the guests. As he came down, he saw the butler leading three people inside. They appeared to be a family, but something about them made Hector furrow his brow
Hector was very familiar with these three people; they were Cynthia’s foster parents. Although Hector had never interacted with them directly, he knew quite a bit about them.
Because he’s Cynthia’s therapist. Cynthia’s psychological issues and inner demons are caused by these three people. Justin’s cold ambition, Selena’s favoritism, and Shirley’s selfishness and foolishness.
He had heard about them. Hector couldn’t understand why his father was hosting a dinner for their family. He frowned and walked over.
As soon as Justin walked in, he saw Hector. Impressed by Hector’s striking looks, he quickly complimented, “Which of Mr. Xenos’s sons is this? So handsome, definitely someone meant for greatness.”
Hector showed no emotion as he shook hands with Justin. Tm Hector, the third son of the Xenos family. Nice to meet you, Mr. Jones
Shirley looked at Hector’s face and thought, ‘So handsome!
Hector had a cool and sophisticated vibe, especially with those gold–rimmed glasses that highlighted his outstanding aura. Shirley was dressed up today. She wore a stylish high–end outfit straight from the latest Pillere show.
She openly looked Hector up and down. Then she stepped forward, extended her hand, and smiled, Tm Shirley. It’s nice to meet you for the first time.”
If it were someone unrelated, Hector wouldn’t find her greeting problematic. But Hector was aware of who she was and knew what she had done to Cynthia.
He looked at Shirley’s outstretched hand and didn’t move. Without acknowledging her, he directly addressed Justin, “My father is waiting for you in the study. Please go there first.”
Shirley was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected Hector, who appeared so well–groomed, to be so dismissive at their first meeting. Her smile stiffened, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand.

At that moment, the other three sons of the Xenos family gradually came down from the second floor. Initially, she was still upset about being snubbed by Hector, but when she saw the other three sons from the Xenos family.
Shirley stood there stunned, nearly forgetting to breathe. Each of the three had extraordinary looks, shockingly handsome. Especially the man leading in a suit, who looked just like the perfect man to wear a suit
The three men walked over unhurriedly and introduced themselves politely. Shirley finally distinguished the three men standing in front of her.
The man in the suit was Levi, the eldest of the Xenos family. He was about to take on the role of the regional head of Betrico, which meant he was a man with boundless potential and a future full of influence.
He was polite and respectable when interacting with others, formal and appropriate. He had a natural air of authority that demanded respect without anger, and combined with his handsome face, it made him seem both aloof and irresistibly
attractive.
Shirley liked this type of man. The second son of the Xenos family was friendlier than the eldest, always speaking with a smile, but there was still an inherent distance in that grin
His every more probing gaze
was gentlemanly and elegant, yet there was a clever, fox–like sharpness in his eyes. Shirley didn’t like this
Another man was Hector’s twin; they had the same face but completely different vibes. He came across as relaxed, easygoing, and unpretentious.
Though he was very handsome and a major star at Starlight Cinema, Shirley still preferred the eldest of the Xenos family over Levi
Shirley’s gaze openly rested on Levi, but remembering the earlier lesson, she remained silent, staring at him intently. Levi glanced at her and frowned, “Does Ms. Jones have a problem with her eyes?” Shirley was taken aback and nervously touched her eyes, “Is there something wrong with my eyes?”
Levi said in a cool voice, “It seems Ms. Jones forgot how to blink The people around them couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Ms. Jones, the way you’re staring at Levi, could it be that you like him?” Shirley’s face turned awkward, especially since she noticed a hint of teasing on everyone’s faces.
“What nonsense are you guys talking about?” Shirley huffed in frustration, her face turning red with a mix of anger and embarrassment. Justin shot Shirley with a sharp glare.
Keith said, “Please, follow me. The study is on the second floor. The three people headed upstairs, but the four sons of the Xenos family didn’t accompany them.
Halfway up the stairs, Justin glared at Shirley again and said, “You need to behave yourself. Shirley grumbled, “I didn’t do anything wrong. They’re the ones who are being rude.”
“You’re a girl, staring at people so boldly, without any restraint, Justin said.
“What’s the use of restraint, Dad? You’re a man; you should know that men like wopren who are bold and daring like me. Levi might already secretly have feelings for me.” Shirley said.
Seeing Shirley lost in her fantasies, Selena couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. She had a gut feeling that something unexpected was going to happen tonight.
Soon, they arrived at the Xenos family study. The butler opened the door and led the three of them inside. ‘Sir, the guests have arrived.”
There was only Sam in the room, who had been writing calligraphy at the desk. Upon seeing them, he put down his brush

and got up to greet them

He walked up to Justin. “Mr. Jones, it’s been a long time.”

Justin warmly held his hand and complimented, “Mr. Xenos, it’s rare that you still remember me. Being able to meet you again today is truly a great honor.”
Sam didn’t spend much time on small talk. He glanced at the person standing next to Justin. Justin quickly introduced them, “This is my wife, Selena, and this is my daughter, Shirley.”
Selena greeted Sam politely. After exchanging a few pleasantries Sam’s attention turned to Shirley.
He looked at her up and down and then said to Justin, “Is this the baby from back then?”
