Michael Marshall's face did not change color, calmly he said, "Thanks for Mr. James' invitation, but sorry, my father has gone abroad. He's celebrating the New Year with Daniel Marshall."
Edward Marshall's eyes dimmed, and his expression changed slightly, "Big brother always liked to celebrate the New Year here. Why would he go abroad? There's no festive atmosphere abroad! Before, it was my big brother who invited us to the New Year's Eve dinner. I thought this year was my turn to host the family banquet, and we all could have a good time."
A faint smile touched the corners of Michael's mouth, "When dad comes back, we'll invite everyone to have the beginning of the year feast. thanks to the generous invitation from Daniel and Olivia Jenkins, dad went. With two young people accompanying him, dad should also be very happy."
"Well then, we will have to gather again next year. Michael, since you're alone in Beverly Hills, come over and have the New Year's Eve dinner with us."
