Somoset, Lyla, and Zarriah were all shocked. They quickly pulled Zegger and Wallece aside and begged, "Stop talking, please stop talking." "What..." Zegger and Wallece were baffled.

Somoset said, "Zegger, there's something you don't know. Fade is not just an ordinary person. He's Master Chen!"

"What Master Chen?" The father and son were still in shock.

"It's Master Chen, the one who is very powerful and popular in South Bay City recently. We told you when we were on the call!" Somoset said.

The two of them finally remembered. Normally before they returned to their home country, they would inquire about what was happening in the country. They heard all kinds of rumours about Master Chen. In short, they said that Master Chen was very powerful and should not be provoked.

However, they thought that Master Chen was a middle-aged man or even an elderly one with white hair. They did not expect that Master Chen whom everyone was talking about was only a young man in his early twenties. Moreover, he had become the Soo family's son-in-law.

However, all they heard were just rumours. They were still doubtful of Master Chen's capability. Zegger could not help but frown and said, "Even if Fade is Master Chen, we are the Soo Family of South Bay City. Is there a need for us to please him?"

Wallece agreed, "That's right. Master Chen might be famous, but our Soo family is even more famous. Besides, he's a lying scum. It's not good for Momo to be with him."

Somoset waved his hand quickly and said, "That's not true. Master Chen is much more capable and powerful than you can imagine."

"Let's not talk about Master Chen and Lauren's relationship. Even if it is real, Ernest is still willing to allow Momo to marry Master Chen as a mistress. You don't know about Master Chen's current status in South Bay City because you just came back. Many families want to offer their daughter to Master Chen as a mistress, but they don't have the chance to do so. Momo is considered lucky to be in Master Chen's favor."

Lyla's eyes were beaming. She sounded sour as if she was regretting not having a daughter which could have been chosen by Master Chen.

Zegger and Wallece were stunned by Lyla's attitude. They could not imagine what kind of person would be willing to offer the Soo family's lady to become a mistress.

The father and son were both confused and dissatisfied with what they heard. They wanted to investigate further.

At that moment, the Old Master, Egbert appeared, which marked the official start of the New Year's Eve dinner.

The Soo family was a huge family. Many people attended the dinner, and there was table after table which were all set up to cater to everyone.

The main table, of course, was placed in the middle of the hall.

Those who were eligible to sit at the main table were considered as the most important members of the Soo family.

Egbert was naturally at the main seat, followed by his three children, Somoset, Ernest, and Lyla. Zegger's status had been elevated as his business grew, so he was seated next to Lyla.

Zarriah, Harper, Memo, together with Wallece and Fade, the special son-in-law, also occupied the main table.

When the dinner commenced, Egbert personally raised his glass and started a toast while the rest followed.

The New Year's Eve dinner began merrily.

The focal point of the main table was different from the previous years. It was no longer on Egbert, or Somoset. It was instead focused on an outsider, Fade.

Somoset, Lyla, and the others kept complimenting him while offering him wine and food. They were very enthusiastic.

Zegger and Wallece's faces fell at the sight of this, and they looked terrible.

Fade was not on good terms with them yet he was treated respectfully and well- entertained by Somoset.

This made high-profile Zegger and Wallce who had just returned fill with frustration and unhappiness.

The father and son couldn't help but look at each other. They then took the opportunity to raise a toast to Egbert before they started bragging, "Master Soo, in the past few years, our business has been doing very well. Our business has scaled up by 20% and the annual turnover rate has reached three billion yuan. Wallece has been doing a good job and has become my right-hand man. In the future, I will be responsible for the Southeast market while Wallece will take over the European and American market."

Their eyes kept glancing over at Fade as they spoke. Obviously, they wanted to show off how great their business was.

However, Fade was not interested in them at all. He lowered his head to eat and ignored them.

Wallece's attempt to provoke Fade was a failure and he felt horrible. He couldn't resist another attempt. "When I came back from abroad, I heard that Mr. Chen is very famous in South Bay City. I wonder what is it that you do, Mr. Chen? Do you have a family business?"

Fade replied faintly, "I have no business in South Bay City."

Wallece decided to take the opportunity and fire at him. Somoset and the others immediately glared at him, trying to warn him.

However, Wallece acted as if he didn't see them. He looked at Fade and continued, "No business? As the son-in-law of Soo family, it's hard to get by if you don't have any capability in making a living! Well, if you don't mind, Mr. Chen, I could bring you along for business abroad."

"You can easily earn a few millions and even billions in a year. It's possible. What do you say, Mr. Chen? You should think about it!" Wallece said proudly.

Fade rolled his eyes and said lightly, "There is no need. I'm not interested in business."

As Fade continued to be calm, Wallece felt more certain that Fade's so-called reputation was exaggerated, which led him to become proud of himself. He responded sarcastically, "If you are not interested in business, what would you like to do then? There are still vacancies for security guards, cleaners and drivers in my company. If you don't mind, I could help make arrangements-"

Wallece was crossing the line but Fade did not get angry. On the other hand, Somoset and the others were so nervous that they were about to jump out of their seats at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Somoset could not help but interrupted Wallece, "Wallece, Mr. Chen has his own business. So, you don't have to worry about all that."

"Business? What kind of business? Didn't Mr. Chen say he has no business in South Bay City?" Wallece was obviously in disbelief.

Zegger also spoke up to help his son, "A young man who does not have results or achievements to show isn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that not having the desire to advance and progress. If that's the case, then you'll be completely doomed."

Somoset quickly glanced over at Fade. He worried that he would get angry, and said immediately, "Zegger, Wallece, you have made a mistake.

Although Master Chen has no business in South Bay City, he does have business in Jade City."

Lyla added, "The famous cosmetics company in Jade City, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, as well as the Sincere Medicine Center, are all Master Chen's business."
