Chapter 188 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• Asher got up to greet Wyatt, and his pupils narrowed. "Why are you here, Dad?" Asher cast a troubled glance from the corner of his eye toward the stage. "Why am I unable to be present when you are? Ash, I should have known you were coming. Then we may have joined forces. After voicing his displeasure, Wyatt lifted his eyebrows and grinned at Nigel. "It has been a long time, Old Master Nigel. You appear as youthful as ever! You appear to be growing stronger and more energetic as you age." Ah, Wyatt! I should have known that you would be visiting. I would have welcomed you at the entrance! With a swift motion, Nigel got up and shook hands with Wyatt.
• Shannon, Gregory, and their kids got up as well. Justin was perplexed to see Wyatt. His eyebrows lifted inquisitively. The night before the birthday banquet, Justin recalled to have looked over the guest list multiple times. Asher and Wyatt Thompson's names were not on the list, and based on Nigel's startled response, Justin assumed Nigel was also not aware of their invitation. Gregory had thus most likely personally sent out these two invites. However, Gregory's invitation to the Thompsons was odd. "I hurried over here as quickly as I could after getting off the airport. I seem to be running late for the celebration, though! I apologise and will take three shots as punishment.
• Wyatt exhibited good manners and polite. This man was so stately that Justin was astounded to see Asher and even Anna in him. After inhaling deeply, Justin thought he was losing his mind. "Anna, how dare you play with my emotions?" Nigel and Wyatt were laughing and joking like old friends. It seemed impossible to believe that their families had been at odds for a century. But there was hostility between Gregory and Wyatt. The guests were aware of this, but they remained silent.
