Andrius was unfazed while Jude gloated at him.
Ford and Jennifer instinctively turned to Halle.
“Halle, come over here!” Ford signaled his daughter multiple times, afraid that Master Turner would misunderstand the situation.
Jennifer was much more direct. She strode over to Halle, grabbed her arm, and wanted to drag her away from Andrius so that she would not be involved when Master Turner blamed Andrius.
Halle somehow cemented herself on the spot. No matter how hard her mother pulled her, she did not even move. Her persistence made her mother anxious, but there was nothing Jennifer could do.
Master Turner was already standing in front of Andrius.
Jude’s grin widened. He was delighted because Andrius would soon be scolded and berated by Master Turner.
Jennifer and Ford were both anxious and nervous as well.
“Mr. Moonshade!” Hansel bowed deeply in front of Andrius and welcomed him sincerely, “It is my honor to see you here in Sumeria.”
What?
What just happened?
Jude, Ford, and Jennifer were all stunned.
Should Master Turner not be scolding Andrius before throwing him out of the door? What happened?
Judging from Master Turner’s tone, he seemed to know Andrius.
Andrius remained seated leisurely. “Hansel, you shouldn’t have. There’s no need for you to make things so grand for me.
“Yes, sir.” Hansel nodded repeatedly.
He then looked at Halle and her mother beside her. He asked, “Sir, are they with you?”
Before Andrius could say a word, Jennifer nodded immediately and said, “Yeah, we are together.”
She was not an idiot, and she could tell that Master Turner treated Andrius with respect. They knew each other.
Master Turner only came out because of Andrius.
“Yeah! Yeah, we are together!” Ford nodded as well.
Jude wore a sour look on his face because Andrius snatched his spotlight. He went up with a flattering smile and said, “Master Turner, my father is Zack Carver of Carver Enterprises. He met you before at the finance summit five years ago…”
To his surprise, Hansel did not even look at him. He nodded and said to Jennifer and Ford, “Oh, please excuse me. If you had mentioned Mr. Moonshade’s name, I would have come out to welcome you already.”
The two of them smiled awkwardly, unable to conceal the embarrassment on their faces.
A while ago, they had mocked and sneered at Andrius, and wanted Halle to stay away from him so that

she would not be cast in a bad light when Hansel came out.
Now, Hansel told them he would have come out a long time ago if they had just mentioned Andrius‘
name.
It was a slap in their faces! A total embarrassment.

The one who felt more embarrassed was Jude. He was completely disregarded. His face flushed as if he was slapped by his own ignorance and arrogance.
“Mr. Moonshade…” Hansel looked at Andrius with a smile. “Why don’t we talk inside?”
“Sure.” Andrius nodded. Since he was already here, he should at least be a good guest to the host.
Therefore, the group followed Hansel into his living hall.
“Mr. Moonshade!”
After everyone was seated, Hansel brought a box of tea leaves over. “These are tea leaves that I got from Mount Fiver the other day. They are quality rooibos tea, and I haven’t got the heart to drink them. Now that you are here, I believe it’s a good chance for us to taste it.”
Hansel chatted with Andrius as if they were old friends talking about all kinds of topics.
Hansel did most of the talking whereas Andrius simply listened, nodded, and smiled in response to his hospitality.
Halle would join the conversation from time to time.
As for Jude, Ford, and Jennifer, they continued to feel uncomfortable and simply wore awkward smiles throughout the conversation.
Half an hour later, the servant from earlier came in and whispered something into Hansel’s ear.
Hansel’s expression changed. He wore an apologetic look and said to Andrius, “Mr. Moonshade, please excuse me as I have something urgent to attend to. I might not be able to…”
“It’s alright.” Andrius got up and said, “Then, I should be leaving as well.”
The group then returned to Halle’s place.
On the way back, Ford and Jennifer tried to speak their minds, but the words were stuck in their throats
