Chapter 602
Sitting at the main head table were the three Rogers brothers and their sons. The women and grandchildren were
arranged to sit at the next head table close by.
The moment Kevan got closer, Anthony stood up and waved at him, “Kevan, here!”
The gazes of everyone else at the table only fell on him then.
There was an empty seat next to Anthony, which had clearly been left for Kevan.
Kevan did not take his seat at once but went over to Bemard to give him the prepared gill. “Happy birthday. Uncle
Bernard.” Kevan smiled faintly, his voice hac a rare trace of gentleness when faced with all these people he was

It was just that ever since he “lost” his memory, he was colder to his family and friends. So, his attitude today
surprised Bernard quite a hit
*Thank you. Kevan!” Bernard was in a good mood as it was his birthday today, so he did not deliberately show
displeasure to Kevan as he usually did. Instead, he laughed joyfully as he hugged the exquisite wooden box, and his
crow’s feet deepened when he felt the sloshing lould inside the bax.
Kevan had given him alcohol, which was basically him pandering to Bemard’s desires. Bernard drank like his fe
depended on it, but he was very unbearable once he got drunk. Therefore, he’d embarrassed himself multiple
times because of this.
Maria’s shrill voice from the next table demanded. “You gave him liquor?!” Her voice was quite loud, and the high
volume easily cul through the surrounding chatter, which scared everyone into shutting their mouths.
Bernard’s smile froze on his face immediately.
Kevan stopped smiling and turned to look at Maria, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
“Don’t you know that your uncle has stomach and liver problems? The doctor said that he can’t drink!” Maria
glared at Kevan angrily. hatred burning in her garr as if Kevan was a murderer who enjoyed taking the lives of
others.
To Kevan, Bernard was just an arrogant loser who used to live off his parents, and now lived off his son. Although he
had big ambitions, he could not make any huge waves. Because of thal, Kevan never sent anyone to monitor

Based on the wooden box alone, Kevan’s liquor was not cheap. Bernard was naturally reluctant to part with it. It
was true that he had all kinds of health issues, and the doctor did instruct him to not drink too much-but this was

grumbled to himself internally. “This st upid bi tch, always overreacting and

However, Kevan had not yet spoken when a hand covered with rings and bracelets stretched in from nowhere and
sna tched the box away.

“What the heil are you doing?!” Bernard roared angrily as it someone had taken his lifeline from him.
Maria was not to be outdone either as she put her hands on her hips and shouted back, “Do you want to die?”
