Joseph didn't mind Gloria sitting next to Karen because there was another seat.
But now, all the seats beside her were occupied!
Gloria was embarrassed and tried to stand up, but Karen grabbed Gloria's hand and snorted. "If it weren't for so many guests here, I would definitely ignore you. Just take the seat you want."
Gloria didn't know what to say.
Her grandma's actions made her more embarrassed and even sense Michael's hostility, but it was Karen's birthday, so she couldn't go against her grandma.
Jordy sat on Karen's left without saying anything and turned his head to see Gloria who seemed to be hesitating.
After the divorce, he had never seen Gloria react like this, suddenly realizing that she had completely changed.
Michael had a ghastly expression but didn't want to be fussy with her on her birthday. So, he sat beside Jordy.
