Chapter 3

Susan smiled maliciously.

Zachary asked tentatively, "Don't you want to get into the family business and learn something?"

In my previous life, I said incidentally, "I would like to."

However, they thought I was trying to compete for the family fortune, deepening their animosity towards me.

At that time, Laura said I wasn't fit to learn the family business, and since then, she cut off all my financial resources and just gave me a credit card with a low limit.

I refused decisively this time, and Zachary was a bit taken aback in turn.

Zachary was very cunning, and he grew up with an elite education.

He only cared about the pros and cons.

Susan usually defended Zachary, but she wasn't raised as an heir and didn't have the same insights as Zachary.

From now on, I should pay extra attention to what Zachary said in case I fall for his trap.

"Alright, you can start learning in the next few days and develop your character. Dad will have a party in a few days to announce your return to the public, and you'll need to show yourself off then."

Recently, in addition to all these things, I had also secretly studied with a teacher at the winery, and I exchanged raspberries with him for the opportunity to learn.

Jack agreed, but he only taught me the theory and to recognize the types of wine.

As the family dinner began, I came dressed in jeans and a white shirt with a backpack.

I used to dress up to prove myself.

However, everyone looked at me like I was a monkey all night.

I realized that famous families were just more relaxed than anyone else.

I didn't want to be humiliated either.

I got some food and hid in the corner of the garden to eat it.

"Cecilia, my brother is back."

I turned around and realized that the last time I overheard Zachary and Cecilia talking, and they looked down on me.

At that time, I felt indignant and began to notice Cecilia.

I grew to love her and vowed to marry her.

The Jones family and the Kingsley family were related, so Zachary and Cecilia grew up together.

Normally, the two families intended to tie the knot.

In fact, Cecilia looked gorgeous and sexy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to marry her.

The Jones family had been in business for decades, and they were the upstart of the business world, with many people wanting to socialize with them.

However, Cecilia was the second child of the Jones family. Her oldest sister was brilliant, so Cecilia envied her, and she didn't want to be looked down upon.

That might be why Cecilia was upset after marrying me in my previous life. She had thought the eldest son of the Kingsley family was excellent, but I was terrible, so she killed me for start-up capital.

Cecilia was choosing someone who would be useful to her.

I was going to stay away from her.

Zachary and Cecilia kept talking about me.

I was listening silently and eating as they talked to each other.

I didn't want to be killed by her anyway.

What if Zachary and Cecilia got married and Cecilia would be in love with him?

I still hid in a corner halfway through the banquet.

At this moment in my previous life, I would be showing off and introducing myself as a young master.

As Brad's guests saw how embarrassed I was, they made an excuse to leave early.

The atmosphere was much more harmonious after I was quiet this time.

There seemed to be a complete absence of me here.

"Come on, Jonathan, we should go with Zachary and Susan to meet an important guest."

Brad hadn't done this in my previous life, and perhaps he was embarrassed by my performance at that time.

The woman sitting across the table looked capable, no less than Brad, who had been in business for a long time.

"Thank you for coming, Ms. Clark."

I thought, "Sarah Clark? Is she the heir to the Clark family? She didn't usually show up much, and Cecilia couldn't even see her when she tried to flatter her back then, but she came to the Kingsley Manor today."

"The Clark family has always been rich, they used to have a nationwide business, and we are completely outmatched." Zachary whispered to himself, his eyes determined.

"Ms. Clark is resourceful. Even though she's young, she fixed the relatives in the family business and successfully got the position of the chairperson," Susan told Zachary.

So Brad wanted to socialize with her. Was he planning on perusing both Cecilia and Sarah?

I had never met Sarah in my previous life, and she was out of my league. I knew myself well enough and it was best to avoid her.

"Mr. Kingsley, you're dressed so plain. Did the Kingsley family treat you badly?"
