My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Damien stood at the entrance of the Yeager family villa with a broad smile to greet the incoming guests.

"Sir, a 10-thousand-dollar Volkswagen just drove up," a servant leaned in and whispered to him.

"10 thousand?" Damien frowned.

Today was the grand 90th birthday celebration for Terry Yeager, the great- grandfather of the Yeager family. Every guest here was rich or powerful, with even the lowest-end cars costing at least a hundred grand. Who would dare bring a cheap car?

Was this a joke?

There was no way anyone of such low status could be invited by the Yeager family.

Sure, some people came uninvited, but even they had a certain social standing.

"A cheap car like that, and they dare drive it to the front of the villa?! They're tarnishing the Yeager family's image!" Damien's expression soured.

"You take care here. I'll handle them myself," he said and headed outside toward the car.

From a distance, he spotted the Volkswagen inching forward leisurely.

"Stop that car!" Damien commanded.

Two men stepped forward and blocked the car's path immediately.

"What? It's you?!"

Damien frowned even deeper as he approached them. His face then hardened in contempt.

"Uncle," Patricia greeted softly.

"Don't call me that," Damien snapped coldly. "You're not part of the Yeager family anymore. I don't want a niece like you."

Patricia fell silent.

"What are you doing here?" Damien's voice turned harsh. "Today's our great- grandfather's 90th birthday. If any troublemakers dare show up, they'll regret it!”

"We're not here to cause trouble..." Patricia said quickly.

"We came to wish your great-grandfather a happy birthday," Dustin said.

"Wish him a happy birthday?" Damien's lips curled into a sneer. He found them amusing.

"You think you're qualified? You're neither part of the family nor important guests.

"Look at the junk you're driving!" Damien glanced at their car with disdain. "Showing up in a car like that for our great-grandfather's birthday?"

"You two are really making the Yeager family proud..."

Damien did not let them pass. He taunted the couple mercilessly.noveldrama

The scene drew the attention of the guests.

"Look! It's the Yeager family's second daughter and the surviving descendant of the Fox family. I heard they were kicked out of the Yeager family, and now, they're here trying to join Terry Yeager's birthday celebration," someone said and pointed toward them.

"Such a pity! Patricia is the most beautiful woman in the region, but she's throwing her life away on that guy. Apparently, she even broke ties with the Yeager family for him.

Dustin is a loser with no skills at all. They're now living in the suburbs, and Patricia has to work to support that loser..."

"What a shame... for someone as beautiful as her. She could've had anyone. Why him? Even if she picked me, I'd be better than him. Look at that car. I don't even recognize the make."

"You wouldn't make a good freeloader. She'd never pick you,"

"Still, freeloading off her wouldn't be so bad."

The crowd's whispers were filled with scorn.

Everyone looked down on Dustin and saw him as a joke.

On the other hand, Patricia's beauty was well-known, and marrying a loser like

Dustin seemed like a tragic waste to everyone.

"Let's see how they plan to get inside," Kendall muttered from the side.

“Uncle, please! It's our great-grandfather's birthday. Can't we go in just to wish him well?" Patricia pleaded.

"Ha! Is he alt you care about? You

broke ties with us for him. What's the point of wishing him well? Just go off and live your life in poverty with that loser." Damien's scorn cut deep.

Patricia's heart ached.

Leaving the Yeager family with Dustin had more to do with how the family treated

her than anything Dustin had done.
