Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098: You Can Mess with Your Food, But Not Your Words.
Charlotte could not help but sigh inwardly.
Mr. Ross was really putting on a tiring act.
Standing beside Mr. Ross, Adam Ross caught sight of his grandfather’s state and couldn’t help but let out a quiet laugh due to his low threshold for amusement.
He, of course, instantly received a sharp glare from Mr. Ross.
"Come here, let me have a look at you."
If it hadn’t been for this birthday banquet where Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson were supposed to come, Mr. Ross would probably have been too lazy to host such an annoying event.
The two children obediently gathered around Mr. Ross, shared some interesting stories with him, and mentioned how delicious the cakes in the dessert area were.
Adam Ross stood by Mr. Ross.
Watching Mr. Ross’s affection for the two children, a complex look momentarily flashed through Charlotte’s eyes.
"Goodness, I haven’t visited you for so long, and here you are with two grandsons already, and they’re both so grown up."
This voice captured everyone’s attention.
Charlotte looked up to see two men walking toward them, one middle-aged, and the other about the same age as Adam Ross.
From the way the two men looked and carried themselves, it seemed like the middle-aged man was the one who had spoken earlier.
Meanwhile, the younger man’s gaze randomly searched the room until it landed on Charlotte, passing a flash of amazement in his eyes.
Charlotte slightly narrowed her eyes and glanced toward Adam.
These must be kin from the Ross side of the family, specifically, Adam’s uncle and cousin by relation.
Adam’s father had passed away early, leaving Adam as the sole heir of Mr. Ross’s line, and if nothing unexpected happened, the entire Ross family’s business would eventually fall into Adam’s hands.
And because Adam was still young, naturally, other branches of the family were watching eagerly.
"What did you just say, Ray?" Mr. Ross turned his head to look at Ray Ross, his gaze slightly assessing.
The man called Ray Ross shifted his gaze onto Adam but didn’t linger long before turning it to Charlotte.
Then he looked at Mr. Ross and laughed, "Since when did Adam get married and have kids without us knowing? Gramps, you’ve kept this from us for such a long time."
This statement made the atmosphere tense up.
Adam’s expression immediately tightened, inwardly criticizing Ray Ross’s comment - what kind of vision does he have?
Who told him he and Charlotte were married, daring to say such a thing right now with his older brother present?
You can mess up your food, but not your words.
Besides, the affair between Justin Battleson and Charlotte had already stirred up so much noise online, surely anyone with internet access would know, right?
Of course, Adam was well aware that none in the Ross Family were simple; such comments were clearly made with intent.
"Cousin, it’s been a while, but don’t you know you’ve got eye problems now?" Adam openly remarked.
"And you haven’t gotten them treated properly?"
"What are you saying, Adam?" Ray Ross was completely taken aback by Adam’s blunt retort.
"Oh cousin, not only are your eyes failing, but your ears can’t hear properly either."
Adam shook his head, then looked at Mr. Ross, "It seems cousin has really strained himself managing the company all these years. Gramps is still robust, but you’ve already developed so many ailments."
