Chapter 1650: Chapter 1650: One should know how to be grateful in life

After the girl spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, followed by a young man saying, "That’s because 28 years ago, Mr. Reiser’s ex-wife and two children died in a car accident. Heartbroken, he donated his own property and that of his ex-wife to build roads in the mountains."

Xaviera Evans looked up and saw Joyce Jones’ face showing regret, "Mr. Reiser was truly doing charity work back then, and I was one of the orphans he sponsored."

"Mr. Reiser gave us the opportunity to study, but now only I am still in contact with him. There is no news of the fifteen others."

The two young girls glanced at Joyce Jones and asked shyly, "So, Mr. Reiser is your benefactor?"

"Yes, he was really good back then. I didn’t expect..." Joyce sighed, "I think he was inherently kind, but his two children had evil intentions. All of us who were sponsored by Mr. Reiser were very grateful to him."

There were some reporters sitting next to them who shot this scene and posted it online. Due to Joyce’s words, people’s impressions of Wayne Reiser changed.

Joyce, after all, was a famous jewelry appraiser, and there was information proving that he was indeed one of the orphans Wayne Reiser sponsored.

The anger in people’s hearts dissipated a bit, and it turned out that Wayne Reiser was indeed a good person in the past, sponsoring many orphans. However, someone soon raised a question.

Since Wayne Reiser sponsored sixteen orphans back then, why did only Joyce speak up for him in the end? What about the other fifteen?

Even if Wayne Reiser is now in ruin, he did sponsor those orphans. Couldn’t they come out and say a fair word for their benefactor?

Netizens who scolded Wayne Reiser began to scold the ungrateful orphans.

Joyce Jones looked at the comments online, his eyes dark and gloomy. They should not bear these slanders. Sooner or later, he would seek justice for his friends!

Xaviera knew Joyce’s plan. He was using public opinion to guide the direction, and soon someone would investigate the whereabouts of those fifteen people. Then they would discover that the fifteen had vanished mysteriously, and the reason for their disappearance was that they were already dead!

Joyce bore the responsibility of killing fifteen people, serving Wayne Reiser, enduring humiliation and carrying a heavy burden. No one knew how he had survived all these years.

Xaviera slowly closed her eyes, her heart aching in waves. He was planning alone, carrying the heavy burden of revenge. How difficult must it have been!

"Why are you looking so despondent?" Joyce laughed, sitting in front of her, "Xaviera, aren’t you feeling sorry for me?"

Xaviera slowly opened her eyes, her face calm, "Mr. Jones, shouldn’t you be at the Reiser’s house right now?"

"People should know how to be grateful. I’m busy helping Mr. Reiser clear his name!"

Joyce looked cold, lowering his voice and said, "Mr. Reiser should be very grateful to me now. Fiona and Todd are both useless when he’s in trouble. On the contrary, I’m helping him maintain a good image in public. I guess he wishes I were his son!"

Xaviera took a sip of coffee, "Joyce, how old are you really?"

Joyce paused, then said in a playful and casual tone, "A man’s age is a secret. You’re already married, so don’t ask foolish questions."

Before Xaviera could answer, Joyce quickly changed the subject, "By the way, my master and his wife are in Libanan. The Master’s wife is having a birthday tomorrow, and they’re hosting a banquet. Did you know?"

Xaviera nodded, "Albert told me in advance. I will go to celebrate my godmother’s birthday tomorrow."

...

An hour before the birthday party at the Sullvian’s house the next day.

Mrs. Sullivan looked at the guest list with a gloomy face, "I didn’t invite Lisa Hughes either! How is she also on the list?"

At this time, Albert Sullivan entered, "The housekeeper said that Lisa Hughes was added at the last minute. After all, the Hughes family has a great reputation in the Imperial City, and when Lisa came, she said she forgot her invitation. The housekeeper didn’t think Lisa would impersonate a guest and directly added her name."

Mrs. Sullivan became even more speechless.

"Madam," Doris Sullivan advised softly, "We can’t afford to offend the Hughes family yet. If Lisa comes, we can’t refuse."

"I didn’t even invite her. She had the nerve to come in. Do I have to welcome her with open arms? I’ve already given her face by not kicking her out!"

"Moreover, Lisa Hughes is just an adopted daughter and takes advantage of the reputation of the Hughes family in the Imperial City to act recklessly. Now she gets involved with our Sullvian family!" Outraged and indignant, Mrs. Sullivan sighed after a moment, "Forget it, we really cannot offend the Hughes family in the Imperial City. They are all bad to the core!"
