James and Helen frowned slightly.
What did she mean? Why was she acting like they shouldn't have come? Cayden quickly smiled
soothingly.
"Maddie, don't be angry.I know what day it is today.Actually, they're here to celebrate Dad's birthday as
well!"
James immediately handed over the marble carving in his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Maddie,
we came here in a hurry, so we didn't have time to make arrangements.This is just a small gift from us.I
hope that the coming years bring him even more happiness and health!"
As Maddie glanced at the marble carving, a trace of disdain flashed across her expression once more.
Although the marble carving was of great value, for a great family like the Reeves Family, it was
practically worthless.
Who on earth brings a gift worth less than one million to a birthday party? To her, James and Helen just
wanted to seize the Opportunity to cling to her wealthy family by taking out all their life savings to give
them a gift like this, just to make a fortune.She had seen too many cases like this over the years.
Not to mention that the marble carving was worth less than 300,000.
Even if it had cost one million, she would still not spare it another glance.
In her opinion, James and Helen were not qualified to talk to her at all.
However, she could not decline their kindness, so she did not drive them away in the end.She waved
her hand.
"Well, since you're here, you can stay for a quick meal.Cayden, take them outside and get a spot for
them to sit down."
Her tone and attitude sounded like she was dismissing two beggars.
Hearing that, James and Helen frowned.
If they had received this kind of treatment before, they would not dare to say anything.
However, now that the Cunningham Family was already the top family in Eastcliff, they felt a little
resentful that they were still being treated like this.
They had come all the way and even given such a valuable gift, but in the end, they couldn't even enter
the inner hall.
Weren't they being looked down on too much? Sensing their displeasure, Cayden hurriedly said,
"Maddie, James and his wife went through a lot to get here.Considering their sincerity, why don't
I...bring them to meet Dad?"
Maddie immediately glared at him.
"Are you stupid? Do you know how busy the old man is today? Take a look for yourself.There are so
many big figures lining up to meet him.If you take them two to meet the old man, what are you taking
those bigwigs for?"
Her words implied that James and Helen were just small fries who weren't qualified to meet Old Master
Reeves at all.
Cayden hurriedly said, "Maddie, you probably don't know, but the Cunningham Family is actually the
head of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff now.They..."
Maddie waved her hand impatiently.
"Enough with your nonsense! What do you mean by the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff? Ha, I've
never even heard of them before.Go inside and have a look.The heads of the Ten Greatest Families of
Eastshire are all here.Can a small family from a small area compare with the Ten Greatest Families of
Eastshire?"
Just then, a man next to him leaned in and added, "Cayden, it's one thing to be inept normally, but why
are you fooling around here on Old Master Reeves' birthday?"
This man was Maddie's cousin and a member of the Reeves Family.It was clear that the members of
the Reeves Family felt quite disdainful of Cayden when even a cousin could talk to him like this.
Humiliated, Cayden could only laugh along with him before he took James and Helen to the outer hall.
"James, Helen, I'm really sorry.It's my fault for not telling them in advance.Take a seat here for the time
being.I-I'll go and tell Seth.You Cunninghams are one of the top families now, so how could we make
you sit in the outer hall?"
Cayden said awkwardly.
