A rough male voice came through, also speaking in Maiselish. "Franco is going to inspect the newly discovered prehistoric civilization ruins. Did you persuade him to take you along?"
Joy was already mentally prepared for his question. With a hint of guilt in her voice, she said, "Dad, I'm sorry. Franco said I'm too young and just starting out, so it's not appropriate for me to take risks right now. He said we'll talk about it later."
"You're really useless!" the man with a rough voice scolded. "Aren't you a genius? You can't even do such a minor thing. I'm truly disappointed in you."
Joy was expressionless, but she sounded very submissive. "Dad, you're right. I really didn't do well this time."
The man with a rough voice cursed, "Remember, your time is running out. If there are no results within a year of returning to Osceiton, I will divorce your mom and marry another woman. If you don't get it within two years, your engagement will be canceled, and you'll lose your current status."
Joy said calmly, "Dad, don't worry. Although it didn't start well, I'll definitely succeed in the end."
"Hmph, you'd better keep your word. Anyway, our family is large, and there are many geniuses. You're not the only option."
As he spoke, a woman's laughter which was unpleasant to hear and had a lack of restraint kept coming through the phone, making Joy's ears uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Joy's father hung up after saying that and did not continue to make a fuss.
Joy tossed her phone onto the table and smiled indifferently as she said, "I won't give you a chance to get a divorce..."
She was the only one who knew what this meant.
At this moment, Matthew received a message from Athena.
He felt a little regretful, but he was neither disappointed nor dissatisfied.
'After all, we have much time ahead of us and many opportunities to celebrate birthdays together, so there's no need to rush,' he thought.
He then replied to Athena. [I wish you all the best, Miss Donovan. I'll wait for you to come back.]
Then, he stood up, curled his fingertips, and dusted off his collar, as if it were a ritual before going to the battlefield. He said to Louis, "Let's go back to Nicolas's home."
At seven in the evening, he arrived at the Graham family's home and walked toward the hall.
It was late autumn, and the sky was already dark. The hall of the Graham family's home was brightly lit, showing the splendor of a top-notch wealthy family.
His arrival made everyone very happy.
The servants lined up to welcome him, smiling brightly as they no longer had to worry about their masters getting angry.
The members of the Graham family and the guests in the hall stood up one by one and greeted him with satisfied smiles.
However, the moment he saw them, Matthew's smile remained unchanged, but his gaze had turned icy.
He thought, 'Anabel? Anabel is actually here. No wonder Dad insisted I come home. It turns out she has plotted to wait for me here.'
The coldness and chill in his eyes disappeared in a flash, and he quickly regained his composure. Smiling as he walked toward everyone, he said, "Grandpa, Dad, Uncles, welcome..."
'Everyone who is born into such a family knows how to put on an act,' he thought.
