Diana Wood thought this to herself, but so people just love to stir the pot.
The whole family sat at the dining table, waiting for Adrian Walyon for almost an hour, still no sign of him, when Bryce Walyon suddenly blurted out, "Has Adrian forgotten about his parents now that he has a wife?"
Diana’s expression imdiately froze, and Old Master’s face darkened instantly.
"I was just speaking casually, haha." Bryce Walyon chuckled awkwardly, as if feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Call Adrian and tell him to get back here!" Old Master turned his head, his face stern, and reprimanded Diana.
Diana kept a tense face and turned aside to call Adrian Walyon.
...
At this ti, Adrian Walyon was busy with company matters. Upon receiving Diana’s call, he ignored it, tossing the phone aside and intending to continue with his work.
But to his surprise, Diana was relentless, calling repeatedly. When he didn’t answer, she wouldn’t stop.
Adrian was annoyed by the disturbance, picked up his phone again, "You co back imdiately!"
Diana left him with those words and hung up the phone.
Adrian feared that if he put down the phone, she’d call again, so he had no choice but to set aside his work temporarily and head ho.
When he arrived at the Walyon Family residence, the restaurant was already filled with family mbers.
Adrian walked in expressionlessly, greeted no one, and went straight to his seat.
"It’s rare for Adrian to co back, eat more." Bryce Walyon helped him with so dishes, smiling ruefully.
The real point of his words was that Adrian didn’t treat the family like his family, rarely coming ho.
Previously, Diana had no particular feelings toward him and didn’t think this uncle of Adrian’s was bad in any way.
But today, she felt twice that Bryce had an implicit intention to stir up the relationship between Adrian and the Old Master.
Diana’s expression tensed up protectively, saying sternly, "Adrian also has his own company. It’s not easy reaching such success in a year, he must have a lot to handle every day!"
She wasn’t afraid of offending anyone, speaking directly in front of everyone at the table, "Grandpa has also seen Adrian’s capability. Establishing such a big company in a year, if Grandpa hands the family over to Adrian, there’s no fear of it not being managed well."
Bryce Walyon’s face turned dark imdiately.
Adrian was young and capable, but did that an Jimmy Evans had no ability?
Diana wasn’t afraid of offending people, but he wasn’t as straightforward as her.
One couldn’t start a dispute over who controls the family property in front of Old Master, right at the dining table, with the two brothers’ families arguing?
The hand poised to pick up the chopsticks froze, and Bryce Walyon let out a cold laugh.
Fine, he wanted to see how long Old Master’s affection for Adrian, with his unruly nature, could last.
Diana also understood the root cause of the deteriorating relationship between Old Master and Adrian, and wouldn’t feel at ease until it was removed.
There was one point where her thoughts aligned with Bryce’s.
When looking for a daughter-in-law, one should still choose soone obedient and compliant, soone without conflict with the family, so the son doesn’t have to beco estranged from the family over his wife, saving a lot of trouble.
As the family continued their al, Bryce was considering whether to take the opportunity to once again recomnd his friend’s daughter to Adrian, when Diana spoke up.
"Adrian, Mom has an appointnt to et an auntie tomorrow, and you haven’t accompanied Mom in a long ti. Why don’t you co with ?"
She spoke tactfully, and Bryce, being a wily old fox, vaguely guessed her intentions, a cold smile once again curling at his lips.
