There was complete silence in the hall. The Soo family members were all speechless.
Fade glanced at the stunned group, then looked at Momo and Ernest, and said, "Let's go!"
The two nodded and followed Fade, ready to leave.
Seeing what was going on, the Soo family members looked worried.
Somoset and the others looked at each other. Finally, Lyla forced a smile and stood up. She said, "Momo, today is New Year's Eve. Please stay and have dinner with us."
Somoset also quickly persuaded, "Ernest, it was a misunderstanding just now. Let's have dinner together?"
Both Ernest and Momo did not respond. They just gave them a cold stare and then looked at Fade.
When Somoset, Lyla, and the others saw this, they felt anxious. They knew that if Ernest and Momo left the Soo family that moment, it almost meant that they had severed their ties with the Soo family.
It also meant that the remaining Soo family would not be able to have a relationship with Master Chen.
They might even become enemies, which was something that the Soo family would never want to happen.
Therefore, Somoset and Lyla desperately wanted Momo and Ernest to stay. They hoped to seize the opportunity to make up with Master Chen and get on his good side.
However, it seemed Ernest and Momo were reluctant and would not budge easily .
Feeling apprehensive, Somoset and Lyla turned their gaze toward Master Soo, hoping he could persuade them.
"Dad, you're the head of the family. Please say something!"
"Yes, Dad. You made a wrong decision, so now is the time to explain."
Egbert, who had always been stubborn and proud, heard his children's grumbles and urges, and his eyes twinkled.
However, his expression turned grim instantly as he looked towards the door. He took a step forward and finally said, "Momo, I have made a mistake. It was my fault for not investigating clearly, causing all this to happen."
"Now that it has been clarified, I agree to all the things you mentioned before. You and your father should be back with us!" Master Soo said.
It was rare for Master Soo to admit defeat. After all, he hadn't admitted his mistake for decades since he took the position. But now he was willing to admit his mistakes to a junior.
Unfortunately, he was the only one who thought that his apology was sincere enough. To Fade and Memo, it sounded more like an annoyance than an apology. They looked even more displeased.
Ernest held his daughter in his arms and patted her back to comfort her.
However, Fade sneered and looked at Egbert. He said in a low voice, "Mistake? Do you even believe what you've just said?"
Egbert’s expression stiffened up and contorted hideously.
Fade did not care about his expression and continued to say coldly, "If you continue being stubborn, I would only regard you as an old fool. But now that you see there is much to gain, you change your standpoint shamelessly. You really have no shame and people like you don't deserve to be Memo's grandfather."
At that, Fade looked at Momo and said, "Momo, let's go!"
