Looks of shock appeared on everyone’s faces.
Especially Caitlyn who was seized by terror.
Everyone was well aware of Meredith’s stern and stiff personality. She couldn’t tolerate people who behaved in a boisterous manner like Levi.
Someone with a military police background like Russell would be well-liked by her.
Besides, how could a mere foundling gain a foothold in a wealthy family?
Meredith gave Levi a deep look before she left, obviously disappointed in him.
Robert let out a deep sigh before following suit, lamenting about how Zoey, given her status would marry such a husband.
“What the hell are you doing? You’re challenging the authority of the old lady. She hates people who fool around like you the most!”
Bailey and Pamela glared daggers at Levi.
“You’ve ruined us! The old lady has finally accepted us because of Zoey, but you just had to provoke her again, didn’t you?!”
Caitlyn almost cried from exasperation.
Would the old lady have accepted us immediately today if our son-in-law weren’t Levi, but someone else?
Aaron hugged Caitlyn. “Honey, don’t cry. We’ll regain our dignity and make the old lady acknowledge us when the birthday banquet officially starts later.”
“I supposed that’s all we can do.”
Caitlyn was physically and mentally frustrated.
Shortly after, most of the guests had arrived, apart from the big shots.
Robert and Meredith personally greeted them at the door, with Levi and the others following behind them.
Soon, several cars marked with the SWAT logo appeared.
This made everyone envious, especially Caitlyn and Aaron.
How nice would it be if Mrs. Black could be proud of them someday?
Too bad they couldn’t do it by themselves and could only rely on their daughter and their son-in-law.
But could a useless son-in-law like Levi ever make them proud?
Never!
“Grandpa, Grandma, I was going to invite the big shots from the Warzone, but there’s only so much I can do,” Russell said humbly.
“This is more than enough, Russell,” Meredith smiled approvingly. “It’s enough that Captain Chapman and the others could make it!”
“Indeed! With you, Russell, plus Jennie and Logan, it’s the right degree of pomp!” Keane and Quintus both laughed.
