Jacob pointed at Seth and replied calmly," I'm with him."
The doorman blinked and then said, "I'm afraid this is not how it works. Even though the invitation stated that guests are free to bring along their family, are you Mr. Leeds’ family?"
Seth looked at Jacob as a gleeful grin played at the corners of his lips. "See, Jacob? I told you it wouldn’t work. I really wanted to help you, but..."
At that moment, Julian and Susan showed up with Chesney.
After she was informed of the situation, Susan chuckled and suggested, "How about this? Since he is my brother, can I bring him in?"
However, the doorman would not budge and said matter-of-factly, "This won’t do, Miss. Mr. Shelby has already said that he is Mr. Leeds’ plus-one. Therefore, he can only use Mr. Leeds' invitation if he wants to get in. If he can’t prove that he is Mr. Leeds' family, then I’ll have no choice but to ask him to leave."
Susan could not help but stifle a laugh.
It was apparent that Anna was doing this to get back at Jacob. Since today was her birthday, as her elder sister, Susan reckoned that she should not spoil her fun.
Therefore, she held back her smile and put on a stern expression as she said, "Brother, it seems like you can't go in today.
However, I’ll give your regards to Anna, so you don't have to worry about that.”
Even though Susan was suppressing her laughter, she could not hold back anymore and a huff of a laugh escaped her lips at the end of her sentence.
Jacob looked helplessly at his own sister.
'Does she have to be so happy about seeing me getting denied entrance?’
"Can you please control your wife a little?" Jacob could not help telling Julian.
He did not know why, but his sister’s character had become depraved ever since she had married Julian.
Julian was laughing as well. When he heard what Jacob said, he scooped Susan into his embrace and replied, "I'm afraid I can't agree with you this time, my dear brother-in-law. Susie is doing you a favor by helping you give your regards to Anna, so why are you still so cranky?" 'Yeah, daddy is right. Uncle, you can't be so cranky. Cheer up a little!" Chesney, who joined the fray, added with a smile.
Jacob was speechless. It was only now that he finally saw the light. It seemed to him that everyone was unhappy with the way he had kept snubbing Anna in the past four years, so all of them were helping Anna get back at him right now.
'Hah... Since nobody is on my side, I have to think of a way to get in,’ Jacob thought.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. He looked at the doorman and said plainly. "I'm Mr. Leeds' family.”
The doorman was confused, as he did not know where Jacob was going with that. "I didn't know you two were brothers. Do you have a certificate to prove your relationship?"
Jacob put on an apathetic expression and replied in a level voice, "He is my boyfriend."
Initially, Seth had been standing on the sidelines, watching Jacob make a fool of himself. When Jacob dragged him into this, he nearly vomited blood and shouted," Hey, hey, hey, watch your mouth, Jacob! I love girls with large boobs. Large boobs, do you get it? Look at yourself, you don’t even have a chest!"
Jacob threw Seth an indifferent glance and said, "So you flirt with me first, and now you're abandoning me?"
According to a saying, an honest man’s shamelessness knew no bounds when they became shameless. Seth had not believed this until Jacob implicated him in this mess.
He looked in disbelief at Jacob, and his fingers were shaking as he said, "When...
When did I flirt with you? I’m innocent!
Guys, don't believe him."
Jacob let out a sneer and added, "We have shared a bed, so how could you say you are innocent?"
Seth could not believe that Jacob could say something like that with a straight face. He denied it loudly. 'We've only shared a bed a few times. It was because we were too exhausted from writing the system, so..."
"You don't have to explain anymore.
Everybody understands." Jacob interrupted him flatly.
'Everybody understands? What do they understand?'
Seth looked at Susan and Julian in despair.
"So you two are in this kind of relationship." Julian nodded calmly. "Don’t worry. I'll support you guys.” "I’ll support you two too," Susan chimed in with a smile on her face.
Seth was speechless.
As he watched the farce, the doorman suddenly said, "Well, this doesn't seem enough to prove that you two are boyfriends. Unless you can do something to prove it."
'Do something to prove it?'
Jacob looked at Seth with a frown.
"Don't do anything silly, I'm warning you. Otherwise, I'll beat you." Seth began to recoil.
Jacob shrugged off his threat as if it was nothing. He expressionlessly approached Seth and pushed him to the corner of the wall.
What are you trying to do?" Seth hugged himself tightly like a girl protecting her chastity.
Jacob's brows were deeply furrowed. He could only enter if he did something to prove it?
