My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"Happy Seventieth Birthday, Mr. Langley," Braddick said and bowed to Alvern. The action shocked everyone.

Braddick was the patriarch of a great family in Somerton, but he actually bowed to Alvern!

Could this be Daniel's doing? If it was, then Daniel's influence as the son of the Wilder family was truly impressive.

"Daniel, did you invite these people here?" Alvern asked softly.

Daniel could not help but frown.

"Maybe they rushed over here because they heard that I'm here."

"Truly, your reputation precedes you," the members of the main Langley family said. They were all smiles.

Although Daniel's logic was sound, Thaddeus and Braddick only wished Alvern happy birthday and did not approach Daniel to speak to him. It was as if they were ignoring him.

For a moment, Daniel's pride took a hit. His face twisted in annoyance.

'How dare the insignificant Shrike family ignore me? Do they want to die?' After agonizing about it for a bit, he decided to throw his weight around and show the Shrike family what he was made of.

"Lawrence Bourke of Somerton is here to celebrate Mr. Langley's birthday!" came another announcement before everyone had even gotten to their seats.

Another affluent family had arrived. It was again a patriarch representing the family.

Everyone was a little dazed.

What was going on? Alvern was not that important a person, so why were there so many important people here to celebrate his birthday?

Although these families could not compare to the Wilder family, their patriarchs should not have come all the way here just to show respect for Danial by acknowledging an insignificant family.

Lawrence came in and bowed to Alvern as the others had. He smiled as he presented Alvern with his gift.

Similarly, he did not even glance at Daniel.

For a moment, everyone was confused about what was happening.

The members of the main Langley family were even more perplexed. They did not know when they had made it to such a high position in society that such important people cared about such a small event.

They were overjoyed that they were getting this kind of attention.

"Igor Tresler of Somerton is here to celebrate Mr. Langley's birthday!" came yet another announcement.

Everyone's eyes bulged in shock.

So many patriarchs of Somerton's great families were here to celebrate Alvern's birthday. However, this was the kind of reception that only the patriarch of the Wilder family would receive.

"Stanley Kennedy of Somerton is here to celebrate Mr. Langley's birthday!"

"Rodney Barker of Somerton is here to celebrate Mr. Langley's birthday!"

Suddenly, several patriarchs of

important families all arrived at the e. They came in and

"Cornelius Wheeler of Somerton is here to celebrate Mr. Langley's birthday!"

came another announcement.

At this point, everyone was shocked, including Daniel.

This was the Wheeler family of Somerton. It was a family that was just as affluent as the Wilder family!

Why was the patriarch of such an important family here to celebrate Alvern's birthday?

What kind of clout did the main Langley family even have?

Even Daniel could not remain calm. His face was a mask of confusion.

Cornelius was on the same level as his own father.

How could the mere Langley family deserve this kind of thing?

The members of the main Langley family were frightened and confused. Their

hearts thundered.

They were truly taken aback.

It was one thing to feel smug at the

attention more important people were paying them, but this was

more than what the main Langley family could accept.noveldrama

"Yves Cramer, chairman of the Swansong Group of Grayvale, is here to celebrate

Mr. Langley's birthday!"

The guests were even more stunned that Yves had come as well.

"Jasper Quinn of Central Harbor is here to celebrate Mr. Langley's birthday!" came another cry.

The call reverberated through the whole villa.

This announcement shook everyone present, and the members of the main Langley family were all a little panicked.
