Meanwhile on Ashley's side, she drove her boyfriend back to her house in anger.
Therius was anxiously rubbing his hands together, waiting for Fade's arrival at the door.
When he saw his daughter's car driving into the yard, he quickly walked towards her.
As soon as the car came to a halt, he couldn't wait to open the door of the back seat. "Mr. Chen, welcome...”
His words hung in the mid-air when he saw the empty back seats.
Then, he turned to look at Ashley in the driver’ s seat.
His face fell when he saw Jayvon sitting in the passenger seat. "Why are you here again?"
"Mr. Zhou, I..." Jayvon pretended to be aggrieved and tried to explain the situation.
Ashley immediately defended her boyfriend and said to her father, "I invited him here. He is my boyfriend. Can't he come to my house?" "I've told you many times. He’s unreliable. You..." Therius fumed angrily.
However, he suddenly thought of something and waved his hand. "Let’s put this aside first. Where is Mr. Chen? I told you to pick him up from the airport. Where is he?"
At the mention of Fade, Ashley suddenly became furious. "I drove him out of the car. He left by himself."
"What? You drove Mr. Chen out of the car? Are you crazy?" Therius shouted in surprise.
Ashley looked aggrieved and said, "I drove him away because he was rude and he even hit Jayvon. The Zhou family won't welcome such a person."
"You... You..." Therius raised his right hand and was about to slap her. However, in the end, he held back his anger considering that she was his own daughter.
He stomped his foot hard on the ground and said, "Do you know what you just did? Mr. Chen is an important guest of our Zhou family, yet you drove him away. You..."
"Important guest? He is just a brat from a poor place." She did not take her father's words seriously.
Upon hearing this, he became even more furious, "What do you know? Fade was introduced by General Xu. He is a very talented young man in his hometown."
"This is Star Island. Even if he's famous in his own hometown, what does it have to do with us?" She remained unbothered.
"General Xu is the top-warrior in the military and he has the title of Army Lord. As for Fade, he was personally recommended by General Xu. Do you really think that he is an ordinary person?" Therius glared at his daughter angrily.
Ashley's expression changed. She was surprised, but she straightened her neck and said with an unconvinced expression, "So what? Our Zhou family is a well-known family on Star Island. There's nothing that can't be solved. Do we really need to curry favor with that guy?"
"What do you know!" He stomped his foot again. "You' re well aware of the grudge between our Zhou family and the Yao family. Recently, our family has been at a disadvantage. Seven of our warriors have been defeated."
"If we continue on like this, our Zhou family will be completely defeated by the Yao family. At that time, what do you think the result will be?"
"Fade is a master of martial arts. I originally intended to ask him for help. If he could fight against the Yao family by our side, it would save us a lot of trouble."
"But now, he's been driven away by you. You..." He glared at his daughter.
