As Zac was about to leave, Arthur suddenly said, "Wait." A flash of impatience crossed Zac's eyes, but for the sake of smooth proceedings, he patiently asked, "What else is it?" A smile crept onto Arthur's lips, "You just said we're like brothers?" "Is there a problem with that?" Arthur corrected him, "The Gray family only had one son—me. I don't have any brothers. Although I have nothing to do with the Gray family now, I hope you still recognize who you are. You're just an adopted son with no blood relation to the Gray family. Don't come to me claiming any family ties!" Arthur spoke as casually as if he was discussing the weather, but his words seriously infuriated Zac. Zac took several deep breaths to restrain his anger and smirked coolly as he quickly disappeared through the doorway with the clothes. Watching Zac's retreating figure, a smile played on Arthur's lips. Just as Zac left, Xavier spotted Arthur and was surprised. He had thought Arthur would just send the clothes through someone else; he couldn't believe Arthur had the audacity to come here himself! He must really not understand his place—absolutely asking for trouble! He approached Arthur in a few strides, looking down on him with disdain, "Arthur, do you even know what this place is? Who do you think you are to come here? You think this is a place you can just waltz into?" Unlike Zac, who had lowered his voice deliberately, Xavier spoke loudly. His voice stood out sharply amidst the flattering chatter around them. The people at the entrance were drawn by Xavier's loud remarks and turned to look, including members of the Gray family. Seeing Arthur, the Gray family members were all taken aback; they hadn't expected him to show up! The school incident had already spread, and they knew about the renewed conflict between Arthur and Zac, which was very unfavorable for Zac. The incident two years ago had already badly affected Zac, and it was only with John's intervention that Zac's reputation was somewhat restored. At this moment, the Gray family was fuming with anger, and here was Arthur, daring to show up! Susie couldn't hold back anymore. She stormed up to Arthur, pointing at him and scolding, "Arthur! You dare to show up here? Haven't you caused enough trouble for Zac?" John's anger flared the moment he saw Arthur. He couldn't care less about the many people around as he burst out, "Arthur! Can't you live without causing trouble? Zac has suffered enough because of you! And now you want to ruin him further!" Arthur looked at the family, his own anger rising. He responded coolly, "What makes you think I caused him trouble? He brought this on himself. Are you suggesting that others should just suffer quietly and not fight back?" "You!" As people began discussing the incident from two years ago, John quickly changed the subject, "What are you even doing here? This isn't a place you can just come and go as you please!" Susie chimed in, "How did you even get in here? What are the security doing, letting anyone in?" Raelynn, who hadn't seen Arthur in two years, found herself conflicted as she looked at the changed Arthur. She stepped forward to mediate, "Arthur, today we are here to welcome the chairman of Cloudia Corporation. We can't afford any mistakes at the banquet. If you have no business here, please leave." Hearing this, Susie had an epiphany, "Oh, I get it now! That's why you suddenly showed up. You must be afraid the clothes will be found fake, and you want to use the Gray family's name to ingratiate yourself with the chairman of Cloudia Corporation!" As soon as she finished speaking, John immediately scolded him, "Arthur! You've already severed ties with my family! I do not acknowledge you as my son! Don’t think you can come here and exploit the Gray family's reputation!" Today's banquet was particularly lively, with members from various families arriving early. The commotion drew their attention, and as they listened to John's resolute words, the crowd couldn't help but discuss. Some said John was heartless, others blamed Arthur's misbehavior for forcing John to be so. Arthur retorted disdainfully, "The Gray family's reputation? Who said I came to mooch off the Gray family’s reputation? What reputation does the Gray family have that I would bother to mooch off?"John's face stiffened. Hearing this, the crowd couldn't hold back, and several families allied with the Gray family were instantly enraged. "If the mighty Gray family doesn’t have a significant reputation, then what are we?" they murmured among themselves.
