Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Rubin?”
Connor couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned and asked, “Do you know this person?”
“Of course, I know him. Rubin is Grandpa Gabriel’s eldest grandson. I met Rubin once when my Grandpa Brooklyn held a birthday banquet!”
Freya replied indifferently. Then, a strange look flashed across her eyes. “What’s wrong?”
Connor saw the strange expression on Freya’s face and asked with a puzzled expression.
“It’s… It’s nothing…”
Freya shook her head lightly.
“Rubin is not an ordinary person…”
At this moment, Priscilla and Maya walked up to Connor and whispered.
“How so?”
Connor was stunned for a moment and asked.
“Although the Phillips Family is prosperous, whether it’s my grandfather’s side or my grandfather’s other two brothers’ families, they are all businessmen. Most of them rely on business to start their careers. Very few people can embark on an official career. Even if some people embark on an official career, they won’t have any great achievements. However, this Rubin is different…”
Priscilla paused for a moment before continuing, “This Rubin was just the most ordinary child in Grandpa Gabriel’s family. He didn’t show any outstanding talent when he was young, so he was always looked down upon. However, no one expected that this ordinary child would choose to join the army in the end!”
“Army?”
When Connor heard this, a strange expression flashed across his face.
Although Connor had seen a lot of rich second-generation heirs, no rich second-generation heir would choose to be a soldier.
This was because life in the army was not something that ordinary people could endure. It required very strong perseverance and self-control. If it was a child from a poor family, he might be able to persist.
However, it should be very difficult for a rich second-generation heir like Rubin to persist.
“When Rubin was in the army, he met a very powerful big shot. When he finished his military service, he was directly taken in by this big shot. In just a few years, Rubin went from a small driver to an influential minister in Porthampton.”
Priscilla looked at Connor and continued.
“What’s there to be arrogant about? Rubin is just relying on his good luck!”
At this moment, Jake Phillips walked to Priscilla and said coldly.
“Jake, 1 think you’re jealous that Rubin stole your limelight.”
Freya said to Jake expressionlessly.
Last night, Jake’s father, Walter Phillips, did not speak up for Connor, so Freya was resentful. Now, her words were inevitably a little harsh.
After hearing this, Jake couldn’t help but laugh. Then, he turned to Connor and said in a low voice, “I admit that I’m indeed inferior to Rubin, but no matter how inferior 1 am to Rubin, I’m still better than your trash fiance!”
“Why you… How do you know that you are better than Connor?”
Freya’s large, watery eyes widened as she questioned him with a somewhat embarrassed and indignant expression.
“No matter how bad my life is, I can’t be inferior to a delivery man, right?”
Jake laughed in disdain. After saying that, he turned around and left.
“What’s wrong with Jake? It’s as if his mouth is filled with poison today…”
Maya looked at Jake with a puzzled expression.
“If it weren’t for Rubin, Jake would have become the most outstanding child in the Phillips Family. However, the gap between him and Rubin is too big. He must be really upset seeing Rubin here today…”
Priscilla explained expressionlessly.
“Even if he’s in a bad mood, it has nothing to do with us. Why is he venting his anger on us?” Maya rolled her eyes.
Connor, on the other hand, looked at Jake’s retreating back with an expressionless face. He narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
“Alright, the birthday banquet is about to begin. Let’s hurry in…”
At this moment, Freya called out expressionlessly and walked straight into the hotel in her high heels.
A moment later, Freya and the others sat at a table not far from John and Brooklyn. As juniors of the Phillips Family, Jake and Rubin naturally had to sit with Connor and the others.
John, Brooklyn, Gabriel, and their old friends sat at a table. Sean, Walter, and the other middle-aged men sat at another table.
After Connor took his seat, he saw Rubin sitting quietly at his seat. From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of chatting with Jake, Freya, and the others. He was resting with his eyes closed.
Zander took the initiative to chat with Rubin, but Rubin did not even open his eyes. He had no intention of responding to Zander at all.
When Zander saw that Rubin was ignoring him, he tactfully shut his mouth and stopped talking.
When the birthday banquet began, the guests walked into the hall one after another.
It was usually at this time that the prosperity of a family could be best displayed.
However, what Connor did not expect was that these guests who came to celebrate John’s birthday were not here for John, but for Gabriel and Brooklyn!
It felt as if the person celebrating today was not John, but Gabriel and Brooklyn.
John’s reputation in the Phillips Estate was not bad, but compared to Gabriel and Brooklyn, there was still a huge gap.
Looking at the guests surrounding Gabriel and Brooklyn, John’s eyes flashed with embarrassment, but he did not dare to say anything.
After all, it was an indisputable fact that her two older brothers were doing better than him!
“1 didn’t expect that after so many years, your family is still doing so badly! 1 mean forget about the fact that these people who are here are nowhere near mentioning, they are actually here for Grandpa Gabriel and Grandpa Brooklyn. If it weren’t for them today, 1 reckon that not a single guest would be here to celebrate Grandpa John’s birthday.”
At this moment, Rubin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
When Freya, Maya, and the others heard Rubin’s words, they all turned to look at him, their faces extremely dark.
“Rubin, what are you talking about?”
However, the person who was the angriest was none other than John’s eldest grandson, Jake.
“I’m saying that your family is doing really badly. If not for Grandpa Gabriel and Grandpa Brooklyn, you might not even be able to find a guest to celebrate Grandpa John’s birthday. Am 1 wrong?”
Rubin sat on the spot and replied with a disdainful expression..
