บท 189: 189. Smile on the face, curse in the heart

James Campbell was scolded mercilessly by Old Master, and in front of so many prominent people at that. His face fluctuated between red and green, taking on a particularly hideous hue.

"Dad, you... you... Fine, since you look down on your own son so much, my staying here would only embarrass you."

James turned around, seized the Baker ladies, and began to walk out. It was Old Master's birthday, and as the eldest son, his absence would be notable; James couldn't believe the traditional old man would actually let him leave.

James, dragging the Bakers with him, had walked quite a distance and still, no one had come after them, making him feel all the more humiliated.

"Big brother."

Eventually, someone did call out to him, the fourth young master of the Campbell Family, James's younger brother.

"Fourth brother."

"It's Dad's birthday today. Stop making a scene; you're making us the laughing stock."
