Chapter 136
After saying that, Ian felt like he had said too much and quickly slapped his own mouth.
Justin’s eyes were dark, reflecting the bright lights from the Thompsons’ mansion. When
he heard the faint laughter coming from Yara Park, Justin felt cold and lonely.
Anna, as Asher’s girlfriend, seemed to be loved by the Thompson family.
At first, Justin thought that the Thompson family’s interpersonal relationships would be
complicated. Wyatt Thompson had three mistresses in addition to his late wife. Although
they were not legally married to Wyatt, they were treated as his wives and had already
borne children for him.
Justin thought that Wyatt’s three wives would be a big hurdle for Anna if she wanted to
marry Asher. That way, Anna would be put in a difficult position and would eventually give
up.
However, he did not expect Anna to get along so harmoniously with Asher’s family. Justin
could hear their laughter even from so far away.
This showed how much the Thompson family liked Anna.
At this point, Justin’s face became pale, and his heart was filled with bitterness. He found
it hard to breathe.
“Do you have any cigarettes? I’d like to smoke one.”
“Wyatt! I’m back!” Bella shouted at the top of her lungs as soon as she entered the living
room.

“What took you so long? I’m starving!”
Wyatt complained and walked over, accompanied by Axel.
“Aww, look at you all dressed up! Wyatt, why are you so formal? Do you want to outshine
your sons?” Bella teased and looked at her old father.
Wyatt wore a three-piece suit with a white shirt and a gold pocket watch. Despite his age,
he looked handsome and noble, like a typical business mogul from the movies.
“Outshine them? I don’t even have to try.”
Wyatt raised his eyebrows. “I can wear whatever I want and still be good-looking enough
to be a movie star. If I were back in my thirties, my pictures would be printed on
calendars, and countless women would be paying respects to me!”
“Ahem… Dad, I don’t think “paying respects” is the right term for that. One would only pay
respects to dead people…” Axel reminded Wyatt in a low voice.
“You brat! If you didn’t point it out, no one would’ve noticed!” Wyatt glared at him.
Everyone wanted to say, “Oh, we noticed. Only you didn’t notice it.”
“You guys didn’t tell Camilla, Ralph, and Amelia to come back, did you?” Bella asked with
concern.
“We won’t dare to disobey your order.” Mila smiled knowingly. “Don’t worry, I didn’t tell
them.”
“Hmph! So you’re the one who didn’t want those little monkeys to come home. I was
wondering why they were so heartless. It turns out that they didn’t even know that you
came back.”
Wyatt sighed with regret. “Sigh… You guys should have called the kids back for a reunion
dinner tonight.”
“Camilla is living in Sentania right now. Why would you bother her and ask her to come
home for a family dinner when she’s so far away? Ralph is busy handling cases in the
police force, and Amelia has exams soon, so she has to study hard. Also, it’s not
convenient for her to leave school. Don’t make a fuss out of nothing! Isn’t it enough that
we’re here to accompany you?” Bella nagged at her father.
“What about Drew? He has nothing to do all day and only fools around. Savrow is only two
hours’ drive from here, so why didn’t he come? Is he dead?!” Wyatt was infuriated at the
mention of his fourth son.
“Drew is…”
Before Bella finished speaking, a resounding and pleasant voice came from behind her.
“I was just waiting for you to scold me. If you didn’t, how would I have the chance to make
an appearance?”
Everyone turned around and saw Drew walking over with his hands in the pockets of his
black
windbreaker. He had a devilish smile on his handsome face as he shook his head.
“Sorry to disappoint, Chairman Thompson, but I’m alive and well.”
As soon as Drew appeared, Mila and Sasha took a step back. The smiles on their faces

They knew that Drew hated their family and hated them even more, so it was safest to
blend in with the background at the moment.
Bella secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy was always so elusive. He would only show up at the last minute and avoid this
house as much as possible.
“Where’s the food? Didn’t you ask me to come back for dinner? Let’s eat quickly so that I’ll
have time
to fool around.”
As he said that, Drew turned to look at Bella.
What he wanted to say was, “My mission is complete. You promised that if I showed up,
you wouldn’t be mad at me anymore.”
Bella blinked her bright eyes and deliberately looked away, pretending not to understand
what Drew was saying with his eyes.
The air in the living room suddenly became colder.
Wyatt ground his teeth in anger and walked up to Drew with a sullen face.
“Send me a recent photo of you.”
“What?”
“I’m afraid that you’ll end up dead one day, and I won’t even have a photo of you as your
memorial portrait. Send it to me now!”
