Chapter 503: The New Rule of the Lyon Family—No Leftovers

The Lyon family hurried into the disinfection room for a shower and change of clothes, with only Connor's howls

continuing incessantly. Their brother and cousins watched silently, waiting until they emerged. Seeing that

Warren had genuinely returned to normal, they then entered the disinfection room themselves. They certainly

didn't want to endure such an ordeal-it was just a matter of taking a bath and changing clothes, after all.

Before entering the disinfection room, Oliver's daughter Stephanie smiled warmly at Jared. "Brother, wait for me,

let's catch up properly later." Jared's expression finally eased a bit, and he nodded silently at her. Tina wasn't

surprised; on the way there, Jared had mentioned that Stephanie was the only one still in contact with Marie.

Mainly because their relationship had grown closer when they attended school in Ashbury. Stephanie, always

fond of following Jared, had admired him since they were children. When Sophia was born, Stephanie had even

sent a gift-a small gold bracelet.

Stephanie was the only relative Jared acknowledged in the Lyon family. After everyone else had cout, Sonia

also went in to disinfect and shower. Throughout, she had not expressed any opinion.

Finally, all members of the Lyon family gathered. Stephanie immediately hugged Jared. "Brother, it's been so

long, I've missed you terribly. You never reply to my messages."

"I've been busy," Jared said, subtly distancing himself from Stephanie while giving Tina a look that seemed full of

explanations.

Tina raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

"I thought you'd arrive tomorrow. Had I known, | would have cback tonight to dine with you," Stephanie said

cheerily, clearly the happiest person in the Lyon family. Jared raised an eyebrow. "We were waiting for you all to

cback for dinner."

Stephanie looked at Grandma Lyon and sighed helplessly. The grandmother had resorted to her old tricks again,

with no new schemes at all.

Warren cleared his throat, making sure he could speak, then said, "We've already eaten outside. The Lyon family

doesn't have a custom of serving late-night snacks. Jared, you two can just eat together tomorrow." His wife

Megan added, "Yes, it's so late already. Mom, lethelp you back to rest."

Grandma Lyon stood up, going along with the suggestion. "Hmm, let's go back. Jared, your rooms are under the

staircase on the first floor. You've been on a plane all day; get ssleep early. The rest of you, go back to your

rooms too." Stephanie frowned at Grandma Lyon's deliberate provocation. "Grandma, that's where the maids

live. How can you let my brother stay there?"

Before Grandma Lyon could respond, Connor intervened sharply, "Then why don't you give your room to your

dear brother, Miss Busybody?"

"Connor, nobody would think you're mute if you didn't speak," Stephanie retorted coldly.

"Enough, you two kids, why are you arguing here? Don't you know Grandma needs to sleep? Hurry back," Warren

scolded, about to head upstairs.

Oliver's family and Sonia also stood up but didn't move. They felt something was amiss.

Sure enough, their intuition was confirmed when they heard Tina's soft call, "You're leaving?"

Grandma Lyon and Warren's family seemed as if nailed to the floor, unable to move, with cold sweat drenching

them.

Tina shifted her neck. "The head of the household hasn't eaten yet, and you want to rest? Are we forgetting the

rules of the Lyon family?"

She really didn't want to use the title of family head to bully others.

Yet, there always seemed to be those who tried to dance on her head.

Not to mention, the title of family head was quite useful and saved a lot of trouble.

A fierce look flashed in Grandma Lyon's eyes, which she quickly suppressed, "That's not what we mean, it's just

that | am indeed getting old..."

Before she could finish, Tina stood up, looked around, and turned to Stephanie, "Where's the dining room?"

Stephanie pointed to the left, "Over there, but... it's so late, and we don't have much food at home, how can we

eat?"

Tina pursed her lips, "These days you can order takeout. Doesn't the Lyon family, such a large clan, know this?"

The Lyon family members were speechless.

This was Tina's indirect way of calling them unsophisticated and inexperienced.

Tina looked up, her gaze sweeping over them indifferently, "Join us for dinner."

Saying this, Tina, arm in arm with Jared, swaggered to the main seat of the dining room.

The Lyon family members initially wanted to retort, but seeing Tina's regal demeanor, especially after that scene,

they could only swallow their complaints, no matter how great. However, seeing Tina take the main seat, the

Lyon family looked at each other in dismay. Where were they supposed to sit now?

At that moment, Grandma Lyon and Warren's family, like puppets on strings, followed Tina and sat down in the

dining room.

With Grandma Lyon and Warren setting an example, Oliver and Sonia had no choice but to join.

Soon after, the battered butler cin carrying a large bag of hot pot ingredients.

Tina actually wanted to have hot pot at the Lyon family's!

And it was to be spicy.

The butler laid out the ingredients, which included not only hot pot but also barbecued meats.

Grandma Lyon, being elderly, couldn't eat such greasy foods, and coupled with her usual healthy diet, she

seldom even ate things like steak or foie gras. Suddenly smelling the hot pot, she almost vomited.

The others were too full to eat any more.

Yet, Tina, holding her chopsticks, smiled as she watched everyone, "Not eating?"

Her smile was cold.

Warren's hand, as if uncontrollable, kept delivering the cooked meat and vegetables to his mouth, and so did the

rest of his family.

Even Grandma Lyon kept eating bite by bite.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow suit.

But the food seemed endless. As soon as one plate of meat was cleared, another appeared.

Later, it got even worse. Boiled, roasted, fried - all kinds of dishes came, and each person had a full bowl of white

rice and noodles in front of them. Tina's bright eyes swept over everyone, "The new rule of your family head: no

leftovers at the table."

She and Jared had been hungry all day, and this amount of food was nothing to them.

But for the Lyon family, who were already full, it was pure torture.

During the meal, Sonia and Oliver's wife Leah vomited from overeating, ran to the restroom, and then cback

to continue eating.

They wanted to seek help from Grandma Lyon, but she was continuously eating, so they couldn't refuse.

They barely managed to finish everything on the table, and then Tina handed each person a super-sized cup of

milk tea.

The sweet, creamy milk tea, combined with their already bursting stomachs, was nearly deadly.

Tina, holding her milk tea, smiled, "We can't waste food."
