Chapter 172 It’s Clearly a Rising Sun
Ernie was the current head of the Porter family and the Porter Group CEO
Soon, someone led Ernie into the house. Those who had a good relationship with the Marshall family knew a little about the grudges between the two families
Therefore, the atmosphere in the room became eerily quiet.
Ernie was currently in his forties and in the prime of his life. When he entered the room, he had a confident smile on his face.
“Old Mrs. Marshall, I wish you good fortune and a long life. He stood in the hall, smiling cheerfully
The faces of the Marshall family members looked grim. Freya glanced at them and saw her relatives were holding up well.
Only Melissa was flushing. She must have heard about how the Porter family had deceived her family. She wanted to stand up and say something, but her brother, Ryan, held her back with a cold expression
In the meantime. Ernie glanced at the Marshall family members and finally looked at Sylvia, greeting her with a smile. “Mrs. Kaufmann, it’s been a long time.”
Sylvia’s voice was cold as she spoke. “Mr. Porter.“
Since the other was a guest who was here to wish Sarah during her birthday, it wouldn’t be appropriate for the Marshall family to kick him out.
If they did, it would only make the Marshall family a laughingstock.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense. Melissa’s face was flushed, and she could barely hold herself back from cursing.
Those who had a good relationship with the Porter family also had unpleasant expressions.
“That Porter guy is so arrogant!”
“How daring of him to come here. Isn’t he afraid he won’t be able to leave?”
When those hushed voices reached Radley’s cars, he turned to look at Freya and saw her cold expressions and disdain-filled eyes. She obviously disliked the middle-aged man who had just entered the room.
The butler, who had been observing the situation, saw the gift Ernie brought, and his face immediately turned cold
He signaled for someone to accept the gift and planned to invite Ernie to the banquet hall outside
Caid Mrs. Marshall, this is my birthday gift for you” Ernie walked over with his gift and took out a long scroll. “It’s a vintage painting of the sunset. It’s to wish you happy days for the rest of ar life”
At that point, even Chris furrowed his eyebrows and reported, “Who sends a painting of the sumet lie someone else’s birthday? Isn’t it said that the Porter and Marshall families have always had a good relationship What’s the meaning of this?”
He had escaped Vroria and ran to Caltun, so he was ch behind on the news
Ernie had already opened the scroll. The two-meter-long painting depicted the fiery sunset shining on the sea surface, seeming about to disappear under the horizon at any moment and plunging the world into darkness
Sarah’s chest heaved a few times, and even Noah couldn’t help but speak up.
“Ernie, it’s my mother’s birthday. What are you trying to imply by giving her this gift?
Seeming surprised, Ernie put on an innocent look as he replied. “I thought I should choose a valuable gift that suits the situation. I bought this painting for over ten million at an auction. Ernie smiled. “A suitset. Doesn’t it resemble today’s birthday banquet?”
In his opinion, this birthday banquet might be the last decent one for the Marshall family
After this, Marshall Enterprise would meet its end.
Ernie no longer hid his intentions, and his smile deepened. “Noah, this painting is quite valuable. Who knows, it might come in handy for you in the future. Maybe you should even keep it as a family heirloom!
“Get out!” Melissa could no longer hold back her anger and screamed while getting up.
While sneering, Ernie glanced at Melissa and Ryan. “That’s right, even if the Marshall family falls, you still have a son who’s doing well in the entertainment industry and earning a lot.”
Ryan pulled Melissa back, his face cold. “Mr. Porter, the Marshall family hasn’t done anything to offend you. Coming here to create such a commotion. Aren’t you afraid that the whole city will not know what you’ve done?”
Still sneering, Ernie retorted, Tm just here to celebrate your grandmother’s birthday. You’re being quite disrespectful, boy.”
“Coming to celebrate a birthday? You clearly deceived their family, and now you’re here to mock them!” An elderly woman who was a close friend to Sarah stood up, leaning on her cane and angrily scolding. “You’ve done something wicked and shameful. So you came here, putting on an act, because you’re afraid they might come out of this situation and retaliate against you. Am I right?”
Once that was said. Ernie became displeased and rebuked, “The Marshall family truly lives up to its reputation as a prominent family in Vroria. Opportunists abandons unfavorable causes, so I’m eager to see what will happen to you guys.
Sarah remained calm and ordered. “Finley, please escort our guest out.”
This time, they planned to kick Ernie out.
The butler, Finley Lewis, immediately stepped forward. “Please!”
After throwing the painting to the ground, Ernie snorted disdainfully and turned to leave.
Wait” A stern female voice rang out.
Everyone in the hall turned their gaze to Freya
Freya rose from her seat and picked up the painting on the ground before looking up as Emie, who had also turned to look at her
Miss Kaufmann. Ernie said sarcastically. “Are you here to stand up for the Marshall family?
Freya examined the painting she just picked up and snerred. “Mr Porter, were you only focused on flattery while you were following my grandfather around? This is clearly a painting of the rising sun
After letting out a mocking laugh. Ernie rebuked, “This painting is known worldwide, so there’s no need to forcefully bend the meaning.”
Freya opened the painting and placed it on the ground. She then looked at Sarah. “Granny, look at the reflection of the tree.
Once everyone took a closer look, they realized that the direction of the tree’s reflection was not where it should be during sunset.
Perhaps they had been influenced by the name of the painting at first, but now they could see that it was clearly a painting of a rising sun that was about to emerge from the sea.
At that point, Ernie also realized this and glanced at the painting. He immediately became furious. “Even if this is a painting of the rising sun, the Marshall family is still on the verge of despair!”
Braxton stood up from his chair. His eyes turned ice cold. “Mr. Porter, please rest assured that as long as the Kaufmann family is still standing, the Marshall family will always be the Marshall family.”
“Fine, it seems you don’t know how big of trouble the Marshall family is in. It’s none of my business if you want to drag yourselves down with them.”
Ernie turned around. “Goodbye.”
However, he felt like leaving mainly because of the man sitting on the side.
When the man’s gaze swept over him, it was cold and emotionless, which made his spine tingle.
As the CEO of the Porter Group, he often stared at his employees without saying a word to put pressure on them.
But now, he felt an urge to escape.
“Mr. Porter. Freya’s voice rang out again.
Having no choice, Ernie stopped in his tracks. “What is it now? Do you have something else to say?”
Freya smiled. “Thank you for returning that piece of land to the Marshall family. Although you have a wicked heart, you accidentally did a good deed.”
Once those words entered Ernie’s ears, he looked at the other in disbelief, thinking, Has this woman gone nuts?
Freya smiled lightly. “You will soon find out whether the Marshall family is on the verge of despair or will it return to its former glory.”
Her voice was calm, and she spoke unhurriedly, but her words showed a strong sense of certainty
Ernie’s heart skipped a beat, wondering how the other had such confidence.
But he gradually felt anxious under her firm gaze

He assured himself. I did nothing wrong. All my plans and actions have gone the right way
That piece of land was currently in the Marshall family’s hands, and the spy be planted in Marshall Enterprise said Noah had been quite anxious recently.
Therefore, he concluded that Freya was just bluffing!
