Somoset, Lyla, and Zarriah were all shocked. They quickly pulled Zegger and Wallece aside and begged, "Stop talking, please stop talking."
"What..." Zegger and Wallece were baffled.
Somoset said, "Zegger, there's something you don't know. Fade is not just an ordinary person. He's Master Chen!"
"What Master Chen?" The father and son were still in shock.
"It's Master Chen, the one who is very powerful and popular in South Bay City recently. We told you when we were on the call!" Somoset said.
The two of them finally remembered. Normally before they returned to their home country, they would inquire about what was happening in the country. They heard all kinds of rumours about Master Chen. In short, they said that Master Chen was very powerful and should not be provoked.
However, they thought that Master Chen was a middle- aged man or even an elderly one with white hair. They did not expect that Master Chen whom everyone was talking about was only a young man in his early twenties. Moreover, he had become the Soo family's son-in-law.
However, all they heard were just rumours. They were still doubtful of Master Chen's capability. Zegger could not help but frown and said, "Even if Fade is Master Chen, we are the Soo Family of South Bay City. Is there a need for us to please him?"
Wallece agreed, "That's right. Master Chen might be famous, but our Soo family is even more famous. Besides, he's a lying scum. It's not good for Momo to be with him."
Somoset waved his hand quickly and said, "That's not true. Master Chen is much more capable and powerful than you can imagine."
"Let's not talk about Master Chen and Lauren's relationship. Even if it is real, Ernest is still willing to allow Momo to marry Master Chen as a mistress. You don't know about Master Chen's current status in South Bay City because you just came back. Many families want to offer their daughter to Master Chen as a mistress, but they don't have the chance to do so. Momo is considered lucky to be in Master Chen's favor."
Lyla's eyes were beaming. She sounded sour as if she was regretting not having a daughter which could have been chosen by Master Chen.
Zegger and Wallece were stunned by Lyla' s attitude. They could not imagine what kind of person would be willing to offer the Soo family's lady to become a mistress.
The father and son were both confused and dissatisfied with what they heard. They wanted to investigate further.
At that moment, the Old Master, Egbert appeared, which marked the official start of the New Year's Eve dinner.
The Soo family was a huge family. Many people attended the dinner, and there was table after table which were all set up to cater to everyone.
The main table, of course, was placed in the middle of the hall.
Those who were eligible to sit at the main table were considered as the most important members of the Soo family.
Egbert was naturally at the main seat, followed by his three children, Somoset, Ernest, and Lyla. Zegger's status had been elevated as his business grew, so he was seated next to Lyla.
Zarriah, Harper, Memo, together with Wallece and Fade, the special son-in-law, also occupied the main table.
When the dinner commenced, Egbert personally raised his glass and started a toast while the rest followed.
The New Year's Eve dinner began merrily.
