Chapter 82 Kris's Birthday Dinner
Chapter 82 Kris's Birthday Dinner
While Baron got in the car, Charles drove toward the Brown Manor through the dark night.
The Brown family was ranked among the top 4 families in Cona, like the Lewis family. So that made
them have high social status.
And coincidentally, today was Kris Brown’s 70th birthday. He was the leader of the Brown family.
Tonight, a lot of rich and important people in Cona all came to the big birthday dinner. Many luxury cars
lined up in the parking lot.
The Brown Manor bloomed with light. And in the luxurious hall, there were dozens of tables. At the
moment, the birthday dinner hadn’t started yet, but the hall was full of people.
A black car stopped in the parking lot. This ordinary car was a sharp contrast to all the luxury cars
around.
Charles pointed to the well-dressed people and said, “Mr. Owen, it seems the Brown Manor has a big
party.”
“That’s great. The Brown family are all here. It gets easier,” said Baron, with a small smile.
“Baron?” said a voice behind him.
He turned and saw a young man, in a burgundy suit, coming towards him.
The young man stared at Baron with astonishment. “What are you doing here? Have you received the
invitation too? But that’s impossible. Tonight is Mr. Brown’s 70th birthday dinner. Except for the
members of the Brown family, they only invited their friends, like my family. Small families have no title
to the party. Not to mention you are just a son-in-law of the Perry family,” the young man said
arrogantly.
When he mentioned the Warner family, Baron finally remembered that the young man was Joker.
Baron first met him in the Perry Manor not long after he returned to Cona. Sherry tried to make a match
between Joker and Tracy. Even now, Sherry was still working on it.
Baron made no reply and walked straight to the door, but Joker got in front of him. “Stop! You can’t go
in there without an invitation! Oh, I see! You must be hungry now and come here for the free food,”
Joker taunted.
“Fuck off! No one can stand in my way, especially a dog!” Baron looked at him fiercely.
Somehow, Joker could not bear to meet his eyes. He felt cold sweat trickling down his back.
“You bastard!” Joker was absolutely furious. He was from the Warner family. Everyone respected him.
But Baron not only took the woman he liked but also humiliated him in public.
He was contemptuous of Baron’s humble background from the first day they met. “Don’t talk to me like
that, Baron! You mean nothing to me. Believe it or not, I can kill you easily!”
Joker said so loudly that a growing number of people came running to see the fun. Soon, they were
surrounded by the rubberneckers.
Joker’s insolent words made Baron angry. Baron squinted his eyes and stared fiercely at him.
Baron made no reply, but Joker seemed to take his silence for fear. He said triumphantly to Baron,
“You’re scared, huh? Now on your knee and apologize to me, maybe I will give you a way out.
Otherwise, you’ll come to a tragic end.”
Baron looked at him with interest. “How can you be so confident?” he said.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Of course! The Warner family is one of the best friends of the Brown family. You guys can’t afford to
offend us. Do as I say and I will let you go!” said Joker haughtily.
“Sadly, I believed not a word of that. Unless your father, John Warner told me in person. Go and get
him for me,” Baron said.
As he said this, there was silence in the crowd.
The top four families in Cona were supreme and unchallenged. Though the Warner family was not
among them, it had a very close relationship with the Brown family, one of the four families. So, the
Warner family also got some serious power.
Joker’s face went red, clearly affronted. “You son of a bitch!” He roared. Then he raised his fist and ran
toward Baron.
But Baron was undaunted. He stood perfectly still.
At this time, a murmur ran through the crowd.
“This fool is as good as dead. Joker is a dangerous man!”
“Look at him! He wasn't moving! I think he was petrified.”
“The fight is close to an end. Joker will be the winner!”
The onlookers talked with a mix of excitement and anticipation. They were almost certain that Baron
would get punched.
But Baron surprised everyone. Before Joker got in front of him, Charles took a step forward and gave
Joker a hard kick.
Before Joker could react, he felt himself flying backward and then fell to the ground with a thud. When
the onlookers saw that, they were too surprised to speak.
Joker scrambled to his feet. Baron smiled, “I’m not killing you. Go back and tell your father John
Warner, meet me within half an hour, or someone is gonna get hurt.” Baron said and walked into the
Brown Manor.
“You will pay for this, Baron!” Joker said, staring after him.
The Brown Manor was full of guests. Bright light flooded the luxury banquet hall. It looked splendid, like
a palace.
Baron went in and sat at a table. His appearance received someone’s attention.
“Oh my god! It’s Baron! Why is the jerk here?” A woman said in astonishment. She was Lucy, who was
so dressed up tonight.
“Shut up!” Connor, sitting beside Lucy, snapped at her.
“Honey! You know, it’s the truth. He is a Jerk!” said Lucy.
“I warned you, Lucy! If you provoke him again, I will kick you out of the Johnson family!” Connor said
coldly.
In fact, Connor didn’t know Baron’s identity at all, but he feuded with Baron several times. He was not a
stupid man, so he guessed that Baron must be quite a big shot. All he could do was stay away from
Baron.
Except for Connor and Lucy, Henry and Phillip were right here. They sat not far away from Baron,
talking quietly.
“Grandpa, why is the jerk here?” Phillip grumbled.
Henry was completely clueless too. He spent quite a lot of money getting the invitation. But how did
Baron get in?
