On the other side, Kelvin left the hospital with Yvonne.
Instead of returning to Cloudscape Estate, he took Yvonne to the Adler residence.
Every holiday, they would return to the Adler residence for a gathering.
Since his father had a lot of power at the moment, everyone, except a few who couldn’t come back from overseas, would return without exception.
He was the youngest in the family, with two older brothers and an older sister.
In the early years, their relationship was still alright, but in the past two years, their father’s health had been getting worse. and worse, and the topic of family assets had become sensitive.
With such a huge fortune in front of them, the sincerity they had once had disappeared.
Everyone wanted more, using various methods to compete for their share. There were countless open and covert battles.
When Kelvin was in the car, Jeremy called him and said that everyone was already there. They were now giving Richard a hard time.
It was obvious that there was tension between them.
Kelvin didn’t mind. He lowered his eyes and buttoned up Yvonne’s coat to keep her warm as they exited the car.
The car gradually drove into an alley with few pedestrians. The red brick and green tile buildings on both sides could be seen from the car.
Finally, they stopped in front of a vermilion gate and parked the car facing the main door.
As Kelvin carried Yvonne out, the bodyguards at the door bowed respectfully.
At first glance, Yvonne was immediately captivated by the two majestic statues in front of the door.
The statues were intricately carved, standing tall and imposing.
Kelvin’s long legs carried him quickly, and there were many things Yvonne didn’t have time to observe.
They passed through the front yard, where only a few servants were present, and entered the large house. It was already crowded with people.
When the two of them entered, the room fell silent for a moment,
It was because of the Baker family.
Just now, the two elders of the Baker family came here to look for Richard and cried. They said that Kelvin had sent their daughter and son–in–law out of the country, and they hadn’t been able to contact them.
The elderly couple, in their sixties, were sobbing uncontrollably,
The remaining two families took the opportunity to criticize Richard. Just as they were speaking, Richard’s face showed some emotion. Unexpectedly, Charles and Jeremy came in.
Seeing the two elders of the Baker family, Jeremy was even more agitated than them. He quickly complained to Richard, causing the Barker family to leave in anger.

At that moment, the true winner, sitting in the corner peeling an orange, was Kelvin.
Kelvin did not seem to notice the subtle atmosphere in the living room. After entering, he nodded at Richard, who was sitting at the head of the table, and said calmly, “Dad. I’m back.”
Richard kept a straight face and did not speak. His hawk–like sharp eyes swept across the child in his arms.
Yvonne, call him Grandpa. Kelvin taught her.
Yvonne looked at Richard’s face nervously and called out softly, “Hello, Grandpa..
The old man hummed in agreement, his attitude towards Yvonne slightly cold.
His gaze fell on Kelvin. He snorted softly and said in a low voice, “You’re the last to arrive.”
Kelvin’s expression remained calm. “Yvonne was injured. I was at the hospital with her this morning
Richard knew about this but only wanted to express his displeasure.
At this moment, Farah, Kelvin’s second sister, took a sip of coffee and spoke up unhurriedly. “The two elders of the Baker family are old. They only have one daughter, Melissa. You sent her overseas and didn’t even give her a contact number, isn‘ that a little too much?”
She looked displeased and gazed at Kelvin with disapproval. “It’s one thing if it’s a small family conflict, but sending someone’s family overseas is a bit much.”
Richard didn’t speak and instead looked at Kelvin.
As soon as Farah finished speaking, Jeremy, who was peeling an orange, couldn’t take it anymore. He threw the orange peel away and stood up
“Farah, what do you mean by a ‘small conflict? She injured Charles and kicked Yvonne. One was seriously ill, and the other was just a child. If I hadn’t returned in time, our family would have been in trouble.”
Before Kelvin came, Jeremy had made up a whole story.
He told Richard that Melissa had stabbed Charles in the shoulder and kicked Yvonne away. When he returned home, both of them were unconscious.
At the time, there were only three people who knew about it. Melissa had already been sent away, so it was up to him to fabricate the situation at that time.
Jeremy believed everything he said, and his tone became more and more stern. “Farah, if you’re so biased towards the Baker family, you should have gone back with the two elders of the Baker family half an hour ago
Farah’s face turned red from anger. She looked at Jeremy, but she could not refute him.
The sound of a cup hitting the table rang out. Richard’s expression was cold. “Alright, quiet down!”
Farah didn’t dare to say anything. She just said sarcastically out of anger. “Jeremy, your grades are mediocre, but your mouth is getting sharper by the day.”
Jeremy endured it and did not argue with her.
Kelvin glanced ather with a half–smile and said, “Farah, your company has been doing worse lately, but it doesn’t stop your temper from getting worse?
“Your Farah almost choked, quickly looking up at him.

It was a clear insult, saying her temper was worse than her abilities.
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Richard picked up the walking stick beside him and knocked it the ground twice.
“Stop arguing.”
After he spoke, Farah reluctantly swallowed his words.
Putting away his walking stick. Richard glanced at the people in the living room and looked up at Kelvin. “Why isn’t Vic b yet?”
