Maria sighed, "I planned to go pick them up, but they insisted on having two men come because they had a lot of people. Arthur and Alaric couldn't help but take leave to pick them up."
"They have so many rules," Joel scoffed, then asked, "You said your family moved into a villa. Why don't you let us stay at your place? Do you think we'll embarrass your family since we come from the county?"
Maria explained, "Gavin also wants to stay at our house.
"Our villa is quite large, but with so many people in our family, plus Grandpa and Grandma, it's really too crowded for all of us.
"Also, Brandon doesn't allow you to stay at our house. You know Brandon's temper. Even we can't persuade him.
"Maybe I can give you Brandon's number, and you can talk to him directly."
Thinking of Brandon's cold and ruthless demeanor, Joel felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said, "No! Since he doesn't welcome us, we won't go. Staying at a hotel is fine."
With that, he got into the front seat and opened a drink for himself.
Only then did Maria take her place in the driver's seat and drive away.
Not far behind, Athena, driving her own car, listened in on Maria's conversation with Joel's family through Maria's phone and silently shook her head.
Joel's family was indeed quite picky and arrogant.
If they weren't dealt with thoroughly, they would surely try to take advantage of the Donovan family later.
Half an hour later, Maria led Joel's family into a large hotel and took them to a luxurious private room for dinner.
The meal primarily featured seafood.
Dishes of shrimp, abalone, crabs, and tuna were served one after another, causing Joel's family to gawk in disbelief.
Joel's daughter couldn't wait to reach out to grab pancakes and shrimp right away.
Joel scolded her daughter. "Put on the gloves and don't grab the food with your hands."
Seeing both the adults and the children lacking manners, Maria lost her appetite.
"Isla, I already ate at home before coming out, and this is all for you. Please enjoy it," Maria said.
While pretending to sincerely serve food to Joel's family, Maria secretly thought how lucky she was to have insisted that Athena not personally entertain Joel's family. Otherwise, Athena would feel sick.
What was even more terrifying was that if Athena got entangled with them, it would be a disaster.
Maria had been dealing with such people since she was young and was used to it. It was better for her to bear this burden.
Joel remarked, "This meal must cost as much as our income for several months. After we move to Kitmore City, we won't make this much in a month."
Joel added, "Have your parents thought about what jobs they can find for us? As you can see, our children are too young. We can't have them do any hard or tiring work."
Sitting next to them, Athena overheard the conversation from Maria's side and kept shaking her head.
She messaged Maria. [Take photos and post them on Facebook, but remember to set it to private so no one else can see. This way, we can lure Joel's family to also take photos and post them on Facebook, letting Gavin's family see them as well.]
Maria was, after all, a straightforward person who rarely did such things, so Athena had to guide her on-site.
