As Culver was deep in thought, he heard a soft voice beside his ear.
"Culver, would you like to taste this? This is the seafood that my father specially ordered from Europe. It's very delicious!"
Culver felt goosebumps all over his skin on his body.
He pretended not to have heard her.
Judy felt a little embarrassed and Culver's mother, Marilyn, became unhappy.
She glared at Culver and was about to hit him on the head as she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Culver frowned and replied, "Mom, we're outside now!"
Everyone said that Culver was a cold man. However, no one knew that his mother was his fatal weakness.
Culver's mother was known as his fatal weakness and specialized in dealing with Culver. However, in recent years, after Culver took over the company, Culver's mother no longer gave him face in public!
His mother, Marilyn immediately retracted her hand and said, "Culver, what are you thinking about? Judy is talking to you. Didn't you hear her?"
Culver lifted his eyelids impatiently as he said, "I don't like seafood!"
However, Judy did not get angry. She pointed to the beef in front of her.
"Why don't you taste this instead? This beef is also imported!"
"I don't like meat."
At that point, how could Judy not know that Culver hated her? Her expression turned sour as well!
The parents of the Hayes family were arrogant people. Upon seeing the scene, their expressions turned ugly.
Although the Olsen family were considered the most reputable family in Greene City, they naturally did not want to lose any of their friends like the Hayes family, who were on par with them!
The alliance of the two families was a great shortcut!
Culver's father, Norman, tried to smoothen things over, "This is how Culver is usually like. He's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As you all know, he's usually really busy. If it wasn't for the sake of the Hayes family, he wouldn't have turned down a lot of work to be here today."
Only then did the expression on the Hayes family slightly improve.
Culver took the opportunity to get up, saying, "I'm going to the bathroom!"
Then, Marilyn followed him out in a hurry and gave him a hard slap on the shoulder outside.
"If you screw it up for me today, I'll beat you up!"
Culver was speechless at Marilyn's words, so he asked, "Does Dad know you're so violent?"
"Even if your father were here, I would beat him up as well!" Marilyn placed her hands on her hips and added, "I know you don't like Judy, but what's wrong with her? She has liked you since she was a child. Isn't that nice?"
Culver's face was filled with disdain as he replied, "Is it really because she likes me? What if she wasn't the daughter of the Hayes family? Would you still approve of her?"
"What nonsense are you spouting about? If she wasn't the daughter of the Hayes family, who else could she be? I'm warning you, you'd better put on a better look when you return later. Otherwise..."
"I don't..." Before he could finish his words, Marilyn covered her chest with her hands and her breathing became rapid.
"My heart...It hurts..."
She was doing it again! Culver was rendered speechless. Who would believe that despite being such an influential figure in the outside world, he could not even defeat his own mother?
Marilyn had succeeded in controlling him for more than twenty years with the excuse that her heart was weak.
However, he could not get away with it. He knew that she might be pretending, yet he could not bear to upset her.
He was miserable!
"Alright, alright! I got it!"
"That's more like it!" Marilyn immediately became lively again and urged, "Hurry up and go to the bathroom! Be careful not to spoil your bladder!"
Culver was speechless again.
After he watched Marilyn leave, he turned around and walked out through the glass door. He headed towards the yard to get some fresh air.
However, as he walked to the side of the courtyard, he heard a rustling sound.
