"You clearly have an ulterior motive. You met us outside just now and you insulted Mother” Rachael said. "You didn't even check the fact that we took care of you for nineteen years even though you belonged to another family. How dare you steal something from the Old Woman?" The people present started whispering among themselves. They don't really know much about Jeff but the recent articles said bad things about him and everyone seems to believe it How could he steal something from someone who raised him for nineteen years? No matter how fatal Edward's words are, Jeffs actions aren't justifiable.
“I stole your gift?" Jeff let out a chuckle.
The chuckle was low but it sent shivers down their spines.
"Ate you trying to deny it?" Rachael asked.
"Why would I deny something I've never done?" Jeff laughed again and he fumed to Mrs.
Greenfield who didn't seem to like the disruption. "Mrs. Greenfield. I'm sorry for the disruption. don't think the Hemsworth family is here to celebrate your birthday with you, they are here to ruin me. Even if I stole something, is it right for them to disrupt this peaceful banquet?" "So you didn't steal the box?" Mrs. Greenfield asked frankly.
"Mom!" Liam called, his eyes blazing with anger.
He had explained everything about Jeff to his Mother but why is his Mother doubting Jeff? It's clear that Edward is trying fo embarrass himself fun Jeff was about to answer when someone stopped him.

“I think the Hemsworth family just want to cause trouble,” The woman said. "I mean ifs a good day, don't let us cause trouble." The woman walked past Jef, stopping in front of Old Lady Hemsworth.
"This is your box, right?" The woman asks.
The Old Woman stared, pressing her lips together.
“I think itis." "Then if's settled! The Old Lady lost her box outside and coincidentally Jeff brought the same box" The Woman smiled, handing over the box to the old lady.
Its indeed her box.
"Let's continue the party, its settled.” Even though it looked settled, the Hemsworth family knew they had lost face in front of the other families. They left hurriedly and the Old Lady didn't even bother to drop the gift she brought She had made a fool of herself and it was because of that ungrateful kid.
