The black Bentley came to a smooth stop in front of the Ashcroft residence.

The car door opened.

Evelyn Ross stepped out alone.

Isabella Ashcroft and Julian Evans exchanged a look.

Surprise flickered in their eyes.

William Ashcroft frowned deeply.

His expression was grave.

Sophia Ashcroft approached her.

"Evelyn, where is your husband?"

Evelyn's eyes flickered.

Two minutes ago, Alexander Vance had received an urgent call.

His face had paled instantly.

He hurriedly exited the vehicle.

"An emergency came up. He'll be here later."

Isabella let out a light laugh.

"Ordinary people struggle to make money. Overtime pay is more important."

Sophia cut her off.

"It's fine that he can come."

The driver retrieved six gift items from the trunk.

Each one was exquisitely expensive.

Julian sneered.

"Uncle sure dotes on you. He even lent you his car and these gifts."

Evelyn gave him a cool glance.

"Is it the Vance family's rule for you to meddle in your elder's private affairs?"

Julian was rendered speechless.

Sophia tried to smooth things over.

"Let's just have dinner."

Everyone moved to the dining room.

Dishes were served one after another.

Isabella feigned concern.

"Save some food for your husband. Don't let him eat leftovers."

Evelyn remained calm.

"He isn't lacking a meal."

Sophia frowned.

"Isabella, that's enough."

Isabella suddenly remembered something.

"Mom, Evelyn even borrowed money from you to play the stock market before."

William immediately looked at Evelyn.

"The stock market is so volatile right now. How could you dare to enter?"

Julian scoffed.

"She was definitely scammed. No amount of money would be enough to cover the losses."

Evelyn pulled out her phone.

"Who said I lost money?"
