LUST SYSTEM: HAREM OF BEAUTIFUL WOMENC209: Are You Mentally Ill?

Chapter 209: Are You Mentally Ill?

"You perverted husband, you are always staring at Leah's breasts."

Lily, sitting in the passenger seat, noticed her husband's gaze and scolded him teasingly, though she wasn't actually angry.

"Yeah, you tell me, what a huge burden she must carry."

Luis licked his lips and said with a chuckle, "Wife, do you think our little sister is still a virgin?"

"You're going to die! What kind of brother-in-law asks something like that?"

Lily's face flushed red as she looked at her husband's blatant lust. She chided him, "Of course she is. Our little sister is so well-behaved, she only cares about studying all day."

"That's not necessarily true."

Luis licked his lips and said, "Little sister has developed so well. Forget about the pack of young male dogs at her school, even the old perverts outside would be swallowing their saliva when they see her."

"Brother-in-law! Second sister!"

As soon as she got into the car, Leah called out to them cheerfully.

Luis replied in a calm, gentle tone, "My little princess looks so beautiful today."

"Aren't I beautiful every day!"

Leah giggled, hugging her second sister's arm, and said, "Second sister, Brother-in-law has become so slick with his words lately, don't you think you should rein him in a bit?"

"What, you're not happy even when he praises you? You have so many opinions."

They chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived at Gestor Palace first. The moment they entered, the sheer opulence of the decor left the Wood sisters utterly stunned, almost breathless.

Entering the massive private room, they found the venue already warmly decorated. Where the Porsche Cayenne was parked, a huge gift box completely enveloped the car.

"Wow, Brother-in-law, this is too much!"

Leah looked around left and right, so astonished she was speechless.

Luis brought in the wrapped gifts first, placing them on the table. He smiled and said, "You little thing, you jumped out of the car and ran faster than a rabbit. You didn't even help carry anything."

Just as he was speaking, a sudden commotion erupted at the door.

Turning around, they saw Ruth furiously pulling Nancy behind her, shouting, "Daniel, are you insane? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

"Ask your daughter yourself, you bitch!"

Daniel's face was red as he was held back by his mother, Hela. Nancy, whose temper was not one to be provoked, immediately shot back, "You Daniel, are you out of your mind? Explain yourself clearly right now!"

Seeing the situation turning sour, Luis quickly stepped forward and ushered everyone into the private room. As soon as the door closed, it was clear Daniel was highly agitated. Luis immediately blocked him and said coldly, "Brother-in-law, let's talk this through properly."

"You..."

Luis was nearly a head taller than him, and Daniel had already experienced his physical strength last time.

Stopped like this, Daniel didn't dare to act recklessly.

Ruth, who had been in a very good mood earlier and had dressed up meticulously, looking exceptionally beautiful and captivating, was now so angry she was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling sharply. She pointed at Daniel and scolded,

"You little bastard, you specifically picked today to ruin my mood, didn't you? If you don't give me a proper explanation, I won't let this matter rest."

Hela, deeply afraid her son would come to harm, quickly pulled him back and said, "Dear mother-in-law, why don't we all sit down and lay everything out clearly, hmm?"

She was also exasperated by her son's lack of discipline. She had repeatedly warned him at home to wait until all the relatives and friends had arrived before confronting them publicly. By then, she would ensure this unruly daughter-in-law would be thoroughly disgraced and the Wood family's reputation would be ruined.

If they had to sever ties, the worst would be divorce, but this bitter resentment simply had to be vented.

Daniel had agreed readily enough verbally, but when he went to pick them up, his face was already dark and gloomy, leaving Nancy and her mother baffled as to why he thought he had any right to be sulking.

Then, the moment they arrived at the entrance of Gestor Palace, Daniel exploded, completely losing his composure and throwing Hela's plans into disarray.

"Everyone, please sit. Let's talk this through properly."

Luis calmly urged both sides to sit down, then began brewing tea. He offered Daniel a cigarette, furrowed his brow, and said, "Brother-in-law, what exactly happened this time? Why are you so furious?"

"What happened? That slut!"

Daniel sneered, glaring at Nancy with gritted teeth, and said, "You actually had the audacity to come to Gestor Palace. That lover of yours must be really loaded, huh? Damn, you must have serviced him real good, you bitch."

"Watch your filthy mouth!"

Ruth, incensed, grabbed an ashtray as if to hurl it.

Daniel flinched and dodged aside. Luis quickly intercepted her, taking the ashtray away. He turned back and said coldly, "Brother-in-law, speak properly."

"Speak properly, is it? Fine!"

Daniel, now even more provoked, thrust his phone forward aggressively and yelled, "See for yourself what's going on! So damn impressive, your wild man took you shopping for stuff worth several thousand!"

"Several thousand??"

Ruth took the phone and started looking.

Hearing this, Nancy felt a wave of relief internally. But ultimately, she had gone alone with her brother-in-law, and had even been facially finished, given oral until completion, and forced to swallow... she inexplicably felt a lack of confidence.

She glanced worriedly at Lily, afraid her sister might also start overthinking things.

"Oh, that matter. It was twenty five thousand. Here's the invoice."

Luis said casually, pulling an invoice from his pocket and handing it over. Hela took it, looked at it hesitantly, and asked, "You went shopping with Nancy?"

"Yes!"

Luis pointed towards the back, saying, "I'm not very knowledgeable about these luxury brands. Eldest Sister happened to have a classmate working there, so we went to make the purchase."

Then he pointed again, "Look, the bags Little Sister is carrying, the one my wife is carrying, they're all newly bought LVs. We picked up some jewelry too."

"Oh, and most importantly, I bought a gift for Mom too, but I haven't presented it yet."

Hearing this, the mother and son from the Daniel family were dumbstruck. They looked around and indeed saw the Wood mother and daughter carrying new bags.

Daniel didn't really recognize these women's handbags, but Hela could see they were indeed the latest models. She immediately coughed and said, "Ahem, well, this appears to be a misunderstanding. However, isn't it a bit inappropriate for the two of you to go shopping alone together?"

"Who said they were alone?"

Just then, Lily suddenly clung to Luis's arm, looking at Daniel with clear hostility, and said, "The three of us went to the capital together, alright! But at that time, I was feeling unwell from morning sickness and was resting, so I asked Eldest Sister and my husband to do the choosing. Mainly because Eldest Sister has better taste, so I had her act as my advisor. After we finished shopping, the three of us came back together. What wild man... you're insane. Even if my husband and my eldest sister went together, what's the problem with going shopping and buying a few things? Brother-in-law, are you suffering from persecution delusions?"

This speech left not only the Daniel mother and son gaping in stunned silence, but even the members of the Wood family were utterly flabbergasted.

Except for the oblivious Leah, everyone in the family knew that only Luis and Nancy had gone that night; Lily had definitely been resting at home. Although none of them had suspected anything untoward, Lily's ability to lie so smoothly without a hint of blush or increased heartbeat, and to fabricate such a story to protect her own, was something nobody had anticipated.

"That is right!"

Ruth was briefly stunned, but then naturally seized the initiative, slamming the table and cursing, "Daniel, are you mentally ill?"

"Even if they went alone, what is wrong with going to the capital to buy something? What is more, my Lily went with them."

Daniel had originally come to demand an explanation, but this time he was thoroughly scolded. The key point was that Hela saw the bags carried by the Wood family mother and daughter were indeed all new LV models...

and so was the jewelry they were wearing.

LUST SYSTEM: HAREM OF BEAUTIFUL WOMENC210: Prostitute...

Chapter 210: Prostitute...

This was a case of trying to find fault where there was none. Nancy sneered coldly and said, "Daniel, you are sick, aren't you? You are so stingy yourself, yet you can imagine some adulterer."

"You want to see the money, right? Here, take a look!"

Nancy took out the deposit slip from here and scolded, "Luis paid for this birthday event, and he also paid the deposit. So what if your brother in law is showing filial respect? Are you unhappy about it?"

"Brother in law, you are going too far!"

Leah could not help speaking up at this point, "My eldest sister, second sister, and my second brother in law meticulously prepared a birthday surprise for my mother. Not only did you not help, you come here to make trouble on this very day."

Hela found it somewhat awkward, seeing that even the usually docile sister in law dared to speak up.

Daniel felt insulted, his face unprecedentedly ugly. Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Fine, fine, I misunderstood this matter."

"What about the car? How do you explain that Porsche of yours?"

Daniel continued questioning, "Do not tell me Luis had money to burn, buying himself a second hand Nissan while buying you, Nancy, a Porsche."

"Porsche???"

At these words, everyone except Nancy was shocked speechless, the Wood family mother and daughter staring in disbelief.

"Yes, confess honestly, which adulterer bought it for you?"

Daniel now felt fully confident, sneering as he looked at Nancy.

Nancy showed a somewhat flustered yet helpless expression, but inwardly she sneered at his smug, petty face.

"You really bought a Porsche?"

Ruth looked at the photos in Daniel's phone and instantly felt a little guilty.

A luxury car worth over a hundred thousand dollars, how could an ordinary relationship explain it being bought just like that?

She started wondering why her daughter could be so careless.

Although she currently wished for her daughter to divorce and find another wealthy husband, one must be discreet with such intentions. How could she leave evidence for others to grasp?

"Well, this cannot be hidden anymore."

Nancy's expression changed, and she sneered mockingly, "Adulterer, why don't you say something?"

"I would also like to interview you, how could you buy a luxury car for a woman who is not your wife?"

As she spoke, she smiled meaningfully, looking at Luis.

Hela's heart immediately sank, suddenly feeling extremely uneasy, because Nancy did not look panicked at all.

"Brother in law, Auntie, you all, ah!"

Luis thought for a moment, then took a document folder from his bag and handed it over. Daniel opened it and found a complete car purchase contract inside, including the vehicle's registration certificate which had already been issued.

There were two Porsche keys. Looking at the documents, they were indeed registered under Nancy's name.

Daniel immediately became excited, but then said, "That is not right. Why is it you? Why did you buy a car for Nancy?"

"There are other things inside, keep looking."

Luis lit a cigarette and smoked, casually mentioning that he had not offered Daniel a cigarette this time out of courtesy.

Hela felt a pang of alarm seeing this. She stepped forward and rummaged through the folder herself, pulling out another transfer contract.

The transfer contract was printed, and judging by the date, it had been prepared nearly a week in advance...

and it was stamped with the official seal of the Store. The stamp was completely dry, so it definitely was not done temporarily.

The content of the transfer contract was very clear, Nancy was transferring the Porsche under her name to her mother, Ruth, free of charge. It only awaited Ruth's signature to proceed with the ownership transfer directly.

"Impossible! Fake! It is fake!"

Daniel's eyes widened in disbelief.

Luis said nonchalantly, "Aunt Hela is an educated person. You should be able to tell if this can be faked. The date on the tax invoice is right there."

Hela picked up the other receipts and saw the dates were all from three or four days ago. All the procedures were completed, just waiting for a signature to finalize the transfer.

"This, this..."

Hela was momentarily speechless. Gritting her teeth, she asked, "Buying a car, why make it so complicated?"

"I said long ago I wanted to buy a good car for my Mother in law, so I asked my eldest sister to help make contact, she knows the salesperson at the Store."

"I figured I would hide the car first, to give my Mom a surprise birthday gift, so I temporarily registered the car under my eldest sister's name."

This explanation left Daniel and his mother completely speechless.

Luis smiled and teased, "Brother in law, you are truly baffling."

A deathly silence fell. Now holding the moral high ground, the Wood family mother and daughter's gazes were murderous.

Luis, having stirred the pot, was certainly going to enjoy the show. He smoked his cigarette comfortably, waiting for the others to take action. Nancy was the first to attack, grabbing the papers from the table and throwing them at Daniel, angrily shouting:

"Daniel, are you satisfied with this explanation now!"

"It was originally a carefully prepared birthday surprise for Mom, and now look at this mess you have created. How are you going to make up for this?"

Narrowing her eyes, Nancy asked, "Daniel, confess truthfully, where did you hear all this ridiculous nonsense?"

"Poke from your class told me."

Daniel's confidence was completely gone now.

Upon hearing this, Nancy reacted as if she had swallowed dynamite. She lunged forward, ready to scratch her, but fortunately Leah noticed early and grabbed her eldest sister around the waist.

"Daniel, you have shit for brains! You believe a prostitute's words over your own wife's!"

"You have really grown some nerve, able to afford such expensive nightclubs now. Mother in law, your son is quite something."

Hela's face flushed red as she asked, "Daniel, that was a prostitute?"

"Yes, yes!"

In his panic, Daniel did not dare to deny it.

He had heard about this matter and had even entertained lustful thoughts about visiting such a place, but his financial constraints had never allowed him to realize it.

"Mother in law, it is a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding."

Hela's mind was working quickly. She promptly pulled her son along and put on an apologetic smile, saying, "I said there was something suspicious about this and we needed to clarify it. Both the second son in law and daughter are so filial, Mother in law is truly blessed."

"Yes, fortunately my second daughter has good taste. If she were like my eldest daughter, I would be absolutely furious to death."

Ruth crossed her arms, speaking angrily, "Mother in law, you specifically came to cause trouble on my birthday, was it intentional? Daniel, if you didn't want to come, you could have said so."

"No, no, this child is foolish and was deceived, Mother in law, please don't take it to heart."

Hela continued to explain.

Ruth sneered coldly. Given her personality, once she had the upper hand, she would never show mercy, and she mocked, "That can't be right. He held it in all the way here. If he weren't so impatient and couldn't hold back anymore, was he planning to embarrass me once my relatives and friends arrived?"

"Tsk tsk, that would have been so satisfying. Not only would it disgrace my eldest daughter, but I, as her mother, would also lose all face."

Lily snorted beside them and said, "And my husband, this adulterer, should he also be drowned in a pig cage?"

"Mom, it is all a misunderstanding. I was tricked by that bitch."

Daniel lowered his head. However displeased he felt inside, he now believed he had been played.

"Yes, Mother in law, my Daniel was just bewitched and deceived by someone."

Hela also had to lower her head.

They had originally come to demand answers, but now it had turned into the mother and son incessantly apologizing. Even if they wanted to make unreasonable trouble, they truly could find no grounds. Now, facing the triumphant Wood mother and daughter, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

Looking at Daniel before him, Luis, who had been silently smoking, suddenly had his eyes light up.

Some of his props that only worked on males hadn't been tested yet, and now they could come in handy.

LUST SYSTEM: HAREM OF BEAUTIFUL WOMENC211: Mother Is Law Is Really Ruthless In Talking

Chapter 211: Mother Is Law Is Really Ruthless In Talking

He opened the System backpack. The 'Dad Cheat' was absolutely impossible. The 'Aphrodisiac Incense (Male)' seemed rather pointless; not knowing what to use it for over two hours felt somewhat wasteful to use on him.

There was only one left: 'Character Label (Male)'. Glancing at the arrogantly proud celestial sister in law, then looking at the greasy, powdered face of Daniel, a wicked idea slowly formed in his mind.

"Ding... Whether to use the prop 'Character Label' on male: Daniel."

Luis mentally recited: "Use."

With a ding, three blank labels appeared above Daniel's head.

"Please, Host, fill in the label content. Once filled, it cannot be changed. The cheat skill will activate immediately, implementing comprehensive changes to the target's physiology, psychology, thoughts, and genetic chain."

There were actually three labels, which he hadn't expected. Luis originally thought there was only one; this was an unexpected surprise.

The first label was one Luis had already chosen. With a single thought, the word 'Homosexual' appeared on the label.

After all, the eldest sister was definitely his exclusive property; naturally, he couldn't let Daniel touch her again.

Even though their relationship was very hostile now, they were still husband and wife at the core, and the emotional foundation remained. Who could guarantee they wouldn't reconcile one day?

This move was to completely sever that possibility. Luis was a normal man with strong possessive instincts. Since it was a woman he had his eyes on, he absolutely could not let this brother in law touch her again, even if he was the legitimate husband.

After some thought, Luis recalled those depraved and lewd scenarios from adult videos and online stories.

The second label naturally emerged: 'Cuckold Fetish'.

But to prevent him from becoming psychologically twisted and harming others, Luis carefully considered and very prudently chose the third label: 'Cuckold'.

Homosexual, Cuckold Fetish, Cuckold.

Looking at the three labels floating above Daniel's head, Luis smiled with immense wickedness.

This was practically exploiting a bug. Being homosexual, liking men, yet having a cuckolding fetish, and lacking the nerve to proactively do anything evil, he could only obediently degenerate into a cuckold.

No screenwriter would dare write it this way. Stacking these three buffs created arguably the most tragic character. Remembering his previous arrogant attitude, Luis felt a secret thrill of satisfaction.

"Ding... Labeling completed. Skill consumption successful. Transformation initiated."

The three labels suspended above his head abruptly shot into Daniel's body.

He seemed to be stunned into a daze, but it was only for an instant, and no one noticed.

The Wood mother and daughter, having gained the upper hand, continued their verbal assault.

Nancy said coldly, "You specifically chose Mom's birthday to make us uncomfortable, didn't you?"

Daniel snapped back to reality and explained, "Mom, I truly didn't mean that. If it's a misunderstanding, clearing it up is fine. I didn't specifically pick this day to tell you; I just found out myself."

"Hah, easier said than done!"

Leah suddenly spoke up, "Eldest brother in law, since it's Mom's birthday, what gift did you prepare?"

Daniel, having been pampered since childhood, was already feeling humiliated and angry, especially since the youngest sister in law of the Wood family dared to question him like this.

His expression began to darken, and he suddenly shouted at her, "Leah, why are you interrupting when adults are talking? This is no place for you to speak."

Nancy often scolded her two younger sisters, but now the family was united against a common enemy. Furious, she said:

"Daniel, what the hell are you shouting for? Little sister just asked what birthday gift you brought, it's a perfectly normal question. Just take it out, that's all."

Lily also chimed in, "Exactly. The surprise we prepared for Mom was ruined by you. Can't we even ask?"

Leah was somewhat frightened by the shout but bit her lip stubbornly.

As the current bottom of the family's social hierarchy, she hated most being scolded and treated like a child.

Often, even when she was clearly in the right, her mother and sisters would scold her like this, which was what Leah resented the most.

No one paid attention to her feelings at that moment. As she welled up with aggrieved tears, Luis reached over and placed his hand on hers.

"It's alright, Leah. You're concerned about Mom, we all know that," Luis comforted her gently.

The action was very natural. The others saw it and didn't remark, instead thinking Daniel's shouting at a young girl was rather tasteless.

"Understood, brother in law!"

Leah flashed Luis a sweet, charming smile.

Looking at the lecherous yet gentle and considerate second brother in law before her, and then at the infuriated and utterly useless eldest brother in law, the comparison in her mind clearly showed who was superior.

Luis should actually thank Daniel at this moment. It was precisely because of such a stark contrast that Luis now appeared tall and perfect in the hearts of the four Wood women, mother and daughters.

Hela, seeing her son's unruly temper about to flare, quickly said, "Daniel, didn't Mom tell you to prepare a proper gift? Just take it out and let your mother in law see."

Daniel's face grew redder and redder with anger. Humiliated and enraged, he slammed the table and said, "Stop asking! My mind is full of catching the adulterers! I didn't buy one, alright!"

"Didn't Mom give you money?!"

Hela was dumbfounded upon hearing this; her son had specifically come to ask her for 5,000 dollars.

Moreover, her son had vowed that no matter the outcome, the Zester family still upheld proper manners and etiquette. One thing was separate from another; after all, it was his mother in law, and the due courtesies shouldn't be neglected.

At that time, Hela had been quite pleased; regardless, her son was showing maturity, so she immediately transferred 5,000 dollars to him.

"I, I..."

Daniel was stammering incoherently.

Nancy watched coldly and snorted, "Mother-in-law, the money was probably spent long ago. Don't put him on the spot. I think you know very well what your own son is like."

Mother-in-law Ruth also let out a sarcastic snort and said, "Mother-in-law, the Zester family's manners are truly impressive. I've certainly gained some insight today."

"I don't have your good fortune, having three daughters but no filial son."

"At least my three daughters have been raised to be somewhat sensible, and they know a little about human relationships and worldly customs."

"Perhaps the Zester family's children are just more precious. We can't really complain if they come empty-handed to wish their elder a happy birthday, but arriving without even a pleasant expression and then stirring up trouble with completely baseless accusations is another matter."

"If a young couple has problems, they should resolve them properly, but they shouldn't take their frustrations out on us elders, don't you agree? If this gets out, people will laugh at you, mother-in-law, for lacking proper upbringing."

"Take what just happened, for instance. You dismissed it as a simple misunderstanding, but if word spreads, my daughter's reputation will be ruined."

"If all the relatives and friends had arrived, they would have been laughing at me."

"Look at Daniel, it's fine if he didn't help, and I don't mind if he didn't prepare a gift, but he really shouldn't spoil the mood like this, right?"

"And especially, accusing my second son-in-law of having an affair with my eldest sister-in-law—our family's morals aren't that degenerate. Daniel, did you see something going on at home that gave you such an idea?"

When it came to top-tier sarcasm, Ruth was absolutely a master.

Once she started her verbal assault, Nancy could only stand aside. Not a single vulgar word was spoken, yet her words cut deeper than outright curses, all while maintaining a veneer of indirect mockery.

Luis almost felt like giving a thumbs-up; his mother-in-law's skills as a shrew were truly maxed out. On the surface, she presented herself as reasonable and understanding, yet she managed to subtly mock every point that deserved ridicule.

Hela's face was flushed bright red. No matter how strong-willed she was, being in the wrong left her unable to muster a single retort.

Daniel had been spoiled since childhood and had never endured such humiliation. Even though he was clearly in the wrong, he simply couldn't swallow such an insult.

He abruptly stood up and yelled, "Fine! If you can't stand the sight of me, I'll just leave, alright? Damn it, when is this ever going to end?"

LUST SYSTEM: HAREM OF BEAUTIFUL WOMENC212: Reason Of Conflict

Chapter 212: Reason Of Conflict

With that, he stormed out. Hela immediately chased after him but turned back to say, "I'm sorry, mother-in-law. I've spoiled this child.

I'll come by another day to apologize properly for this matter."

"It's alright, it's alright. Go keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't do anything foolish,"

Ruth said magnanimously.

The mother and son had completely lost their appetite for the celebration. They hurried out one after the other, having come to demand answers only to be thoroughly humiliated.

Luis went over and closed the private room door, then turned back and quipped, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. No need to hold it in anymore."

Giggles erupted one after another. The victorious Wood family mother and her four daughters laughed heartily and unrestrainedly, their joy evident in their radiant, delighted expressions.

Luis watched the scene of these charming women before him, swallowing hard. Now, the four of them—mother and daughters—had even more allure, making it impossibly difficult to choose. Together, they formed a visually stunning picture worthy of a world-famous painting.

Lily's figure was now similar to her sister Nancy's—both quite proportionate—so the visual impact wasn't as striking.

But his mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law were both petite and delicately built, yet each possessed impressively large breasts of different types. Their laughter made their chests bounce and tremble, creating a truly dazzling spectacle.

Luis walked over and sat down, lit another cigarette, and sighed in a regretful tone, "What a shame. Originally, the whole family gathering together should have been a harmonious and joyful occasion."

His words sounded mature and carried a dignified air, even hinting at the authority of the family head.

Nancy immediately said guiltily,

"Mom, it's all my fault. Daniel is truly worthless. I knew he was up to no good when he was so eager to pick us up."

Lily affectionately wrapped her arms around Luis's arm, her face full of adoration, but she sighed and said, "What a pity. My husband's carefully planned surprise was completely ruined by him."

That hug stirred complex feelings in the other three Wood family women—a mix of emotions they couldn't quite put into words.

After all, Lily was his wife in the truest sense. At this moment, everyone could feel the pride radiating from her, and they all understood why she was so happy and blissful.

Leah pouted cutily, looked thoughtfully at Luis, then turned to tease her eldest sister, saying, "Eldest Sister, your judgment just isn't as good as Second Sister's. Comparing my two brothers-in-law side by side—there's simply no comparison."

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to say such a thing and would have been scolded severely.

But this time, Nancy merely blushed, glanced at the young couple beside her, looked at her gentle and handsome brother-in-law, and for the first time, lowered her head in shame and unease.

"Should we go try to talk to brother-in-law?"

Lily asked kindly.

"Talk some sense into that bastard? Talk him into dying!"

"Let him die, save us the embarrassment of having him around."

Nancy and Ruth cursed simultaneously. Lily stuck out her tongue sheepishly, "Don't take your anger out on me!"

"Son-in-law, you, you really bought a Porsche?"

Ruth couldn't help but ask.

Luis smiled and said, "Mom, of course he really bought it. Otherwise, how could I inexplicably become my eldest sister's adulterer?"

Hearing this, Nancy's face flushed slightly. Ruth, however, snorted and said, "If your eldest sister could actually find an adulterer like you, I'd be happy for her. She should just file for divorce if she needs to."

"Even being blind would be better than ending up with someone like your eldest sister did—what kind of trash is Daniel? If she could really find someone like you, I could close my eyes in peace even after I die."

This made Nancy's face turn even redder. Lily giggled but didn't say anything yet.

Leah was the first to laugh, "Mom, my second brother-in-law is a live-in son-in-law, and my eldest sister is a married-off daughter—like spilled water. You've said that many times before."

"Shut up! No one thinks you're mute!"

Nancy, irritated, immediately shot her a glare.

Leah shut her mouth, not daring to provoke her eldest sister's wrath. Lily quickly interjected,

"Mom, don't worry about this anymore. Today is your birthday, it's the happiest occasion. Luis and we have put so much effort into preparing for this—you mustn't be angry."

"Alright, alright, Mom understands!"

Ruth's gaze softened, and she didn't press further about the car, feeling utterly sweet and content inside.

In fact, behind the so-called curtain in the private room was the car, gift-wrapped in a large box. At the moment, no one except Nancy had noticed it.

Just then, Ruth's phone rang, "Hello? Yes, it's the Gestor Palace. Just give them my name, and someone will bring you in."

Luis sprawled casually on the sofa, looking at his mother-in-law Ruth with immense satisfaction.

Mother-in-law Ruth: Favorability 95%.

Emotions: Overjoyed, Expectant, Euphoric.

This was the first time the emotion display used a four-word description, letting Luis know just how happy his mother-in-law was at this moment. What pleased him even more was the sound of the System echoing in his mind.

"Ding... 95% Favorability achieved. Mission 4 for the Voluptuous and Alluring Mother-in-law updated. Favorability requirement met. Reward: One Blind Box."

Luis vaguely understood that 95% Favorability meant they could absolutely have sex and engage in even more shameful activities.

If this threshold wasn't met, sex might still be possible, but there would always be some psychological barriers preventing it from being fully enjoyable.

But once this value was reached, as long as the setting was appropriate, any kind of play should be possible—which was why the System specifically emphasized this point.

"Number of Blind Boxes: 3."

"Ding... Favorability of the Voluptuous and Alluring Mother-in-law satisfied. Unlocking Mission 5: Mother-in-law's Creampie Orgasm.

Mission Reward: 400,000 dollars, One Blind Box, and the incubation of the Ultimate Mission Line reward."

"Auntie is here!"

Nancy's cheerful cry snapped Luis back to reality instantly, and he quickly stood up to go greet her.

As the private room door opened, the first thing he saw was not her face, but a pair of huge breasts concealed beneath her clothing, so prominent they seemed ready to burst free, their outline sharply defined and in no way inferior to those of his Mother-in-law.

Of course, her height was equally unremarkable and not tall. His sister-in-law, Eloise, lacked the mature charm of her older sister.

Her facial features were undeniably delicate, her hair thick and black, neither dyed nor permed. Her gentle smile carried the grace of a virtuous wife and loving mother, a completely different type from the fierce tigress that was his Mother-in-law.

Her gentle, spring-breeze-like smile was very pleasing, placing her in the same category as the gentle-natured Lily.

"Auntie, I've missed you so much!"

The three Wood sisters stepped forward and hugged her one by one. Eloise smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I know. You girls just never seem to grow up."

Eloise was a few years younger than her eldest sister, Ruth. She wasn't married yet when Ruth got married, and she had helped take care of all three Wood sisters.

Especially the eldest sister, Nancy, who was practically raised by her single-handedly. Back then, Ruth was busy trying to conceive a son to compete for status within the family, and the household relied entirely on this younger sister to manage everything.

She didn't spend as much time with the other two as she did with the eldest, but she still looked after them for considerable periods.

Nancy had even joked that while her mother, Ruth, was responsible for giving birth, it was her unmarried aunt, Eloise, who ended up with postpartum depression.

Later, she and Ruth had many conflicts, likely stemming from the frustration of childcare duties, but this never affected the love she showered on Nancy, whom she treated as her own.

As for the main source of the conflict, the person who entered behind her was an old man who appeared nearly 60 years old.

His suit trousers and old-fashioned shirt looked shabby and outdated. Peering over his thick glasses, he just glanced up and snorted, "What are we doing in a place like this? It's all showy extravagance, vanity driving this. You have money with no proper place to spend it."

The so-called Uncle-in-law, Logan, was an obstinate, rigid, and stubbornly unyielding man.

It was said that back then, Aunt Eloise had dropped out of school during junior high. Introverted and socially anxious, she was the complete opposite of her sister. After entering society, wherever she worked, she easily found herself ostracized.

Later, she specifically helped her sister raise the children. Once the children were in school and her help was no longer needed, she went job-hunting again. By then, already in her early thirties, she was introduced to this Uncle-in-law.

The old man was a widower, fortunately without children. Eloise, thinking him honest, married him. They had a daughter together, whom Luis vaguely remembered as a little snot-nosed kid.

The two sisters, who had once relied on each other for survival, originally had a very good relationship.

However, they grew distant after each started their own families.

The main reason was the conflict between the two brothers-in-law. Logan was a teacher at a township middle school. He prided himself on coming from a scholarly, cultured family, believing he possessed the refined bone of a literati, and he looked down on Arthur, who came from a humble, muddy-legged background.

Chapter 213: Argue With Idiot, He Will Lower Your IQ

Even though Arthur was a small-scale contractor, in Logan's eyes, he was still just a peasant.

Arthur similarly looked down on him. A poor teacher constantly proclaiming his literary refinement, dirt poor yet still putting on airs. What kind of virtue did he possess to be worthy of the gentle, wise, and capable Eloise?

Frankly, on this point, Luis strongly agreed with his cheap Father-in-law's viewpoint.

Just based on the remark he made upon entering, he was lucky not to get slapped. A literati? A rural teacher, desperately poor, yet finding fault with everything. One could only say that civilized society had saved his wretched life.

Logan looked around and snorted, saying, "What's the purpose of coming to a place like this? You have money to burn, is that it?"

Arriving and immediately being such a killjoy, Ruth's temper flared up instantly. Just as she was about to erupt, her sister Eloise held her back, offering a subtle, pained smile and shaking her head slightly.

Although some estrangement existed between the two sisters, seeing that bitter smile made Ruth sigh and suppress her anger.

Logan stepped forward to inspect the table, tapped it, and said, "Passable. It's a solid marble table."

Seeing his pretentious demeanor, the three Wood sisters were furious. All three were seething, but seeing their aunt's pleading look, they dared not speak up.

"Uncle!"

Luis followed behind him, offering a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said, "The cultural circles are quite lofty, something we simply cannot access.

But if the Gestor Palace's standard isn't high enough, does Uncle have any better places to recommend?"

"Everything you say reeks of money, it's all filthy lucre. Your awareness is far too low."

Logan snorted, brimming with pride, and said, "I know a place nestled among mountains, waters, and bamboo forests, where every detail holds subtle delight. Spending money here just makes you seem like a vulgar, money-grubbing philistine. You'd be better off going there instead."

"Okay, next time I'll go and buy it."

Luis made a note of it, stating it casually and without emphasis.

Logan turned back, startled, and asked, "What did you say?!"

Luis chuckled and said, "No matter how money-grubbing and vulgar that place might be, everything has its price. If Uncle likes it, I'll just go and buy it, that's all."

"You scoundrel! You are insulting refinement and civility itself!"

Logan's face instantly flushed a deep red.

Luis said with a laugh, "I'm a vulgar man. To be perfectly honest, I rather enjoy the idea of using filthy money to insult civility."

"Enough from you! Haven't you said enough?!"

Eloise could no longer maintain her composure. She glared angrily at Logan and said, "We're here for a meal today, and you're picking faults and finding flaws. What exactly is your problem?"

Logan settled down a little, sat down, snorted, and asked with a sullen expression, "Where is Arthur? Why hasn't he come?"

Forgetting that it was his own brother-in-law, even addressing a stranger older than himself by his full name was disrespectful.

Nancy, looking after her dearest aunt, put on a smiling face and said, "My dad is busy."

"Auntie, why didn't Aisha come?"

Leah pressed further.

Her aunt's only daughter was her best playmate. A year younger than her, they always got along famously. Whenever they got together, they were like a pair of wild girls.

"She..."

Before Eloise could finish her sentence, Logan snorted and said discontentedly,

"Studying at home, of course. Her exam results were a complete mess. I don't know who she inherited that pig-like brain from."

"If she took after me, she would have mastered her studies long ago."

This sarcastic, veiled criticism was aimed at Eloise. Ruth could no longer listen quietly and lashed out,

"less of your insinuations! With your character, you possess not a shred of true culture. You are a complete and utter failure."

"Who are you calling a failure?"

Logan's expression changed instantly.

"You. I'm talking about you."

"What a pathetic specimen! For thirty or forty years, stuck in a township school, you couldn't even manage to become a head teacher. Those who graduated with you are probably all school principals by now."

This remark struck directly at his most vulnerable spot. Logan, with his extreme, literary-minded personality, was usually taciturn, but when he did speak, his mouth was exceptionally foul.

His cynical, misanthropic attitude hadn't softened even at his age. While others used connections and sought opportunities to move to cities with better conditions, or at least secured minor official posts to earn higher salaries...

If he were truly content, genuinely principled and willing to dedicate his life to teaching and nurturing others, that would be one thing, and at least somewhat admirable.

In reality, he was self-righteous, loved meddling in others' affairs, and was consistently sidelined at school. He was always left holding the bag when things went wrong, while benefits never came his way.

Forget about interpersonal savvy, he was too proud to lower himself and build good relationships with colleagues. He acted superior all day long, fond of lecturing others, and couldn't even manage relationships with his own relatives, let alone anyone else.

"That is because I am unwilling to associate with those corrupt people."

Logan said, his face flushing red.

"Oh, oh, it is because others look down on you. You would need their willingness even if you wanted to associate with them."

Ruth continued with her sharp tongue, "Brother in law, you really need to start saving that meager salary of yours now. Otherwise, if Aisha tests into a high school in the city, you will not even be able to afford the tuition fees."

Eloise quickly grabbed her sister's hand and said, "Elder Sister, I am working too, that will not happen."

Eloise was introverted and completely socially anxious. Finding a stable job was difficult for her, and she was currently working as a part time domestic cleaner. It was said she was already studying, preparing to take the exam to become a certified postpartum nanny.

"That is still better than that Arthur."

Logan's face turned red with disdain as he said, "He is just a country bumpkin who earned a few stinking dollars, then abandoned his wife to find a mistress."

This was a case of getting hit while lying down. If the father in law knew about this, he would probably be utterly confused and curse, asking what the hell it had to do with him.

Ruth sneered coldly and said, "So what? Arthur has more responsibility than you. The living allowance he gives me every month is more than your entire salary."

Luis watched from the side with great relish. Indeed, fights between relatives who knew each other inside out were the most brutal.

If it were Daniel being confronted, Luis would be itching to jump in.

But when it came to this uncle, Luis simply had no interest.

Firstly, there was no grudge between them, and secondly, arguing with such an idiot felt like it was lowering his own IQ. Besides, now that he had his Mother in law under his control, no, under his command, having such a fierce general like her was enough.

"Alright, Mom, stop talking."

Nancy was closest to her aunt and immediately stepped in to mediate.

Eloise hung her head with a deeply wronged expression, looking as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Luis carefully observed this aunt. She was not as stunningly beautiful as his Mother in law, Ruth, but she had the delicate charm of a lady from a modest family, a gentle and enchanting mature beauty.

He remembered her as being very quiet and not speaking much. Her pitiable appearance evoked a sense of protectiveness, but one look at her voluptuous figure and full, ample breasts, almost an exact copy of his Mother in law's, and Luis could not control himself from swallowing hard. An evil desire rose within him, a wish to make her cry while she knelt between his legs giving him a blowjob.

"Fine, I will not say anymore!"

Ruth was also exasperated by this man's foul mouth. Back then, her younger sister had thought he was quiet and honest, and had taken a liking to him. Who would have known his mouth would be so vile and cheap, only capable of ruining the mood.

Luis also stepped forward to smooth things over, offering Logan a cigarette and saying, "Uncle, please sit down first. The others will arrive shortly."

LUST SYSTEM: HAREM OF BEAUTIFUL WOMENC214: Get Up!!!

Chapter 214: Get Up!!!

Logan took the cigarette and glanced at it. Originally, Luis smoked cheap, everyday cigarettes.

Perhaps because it was his Mother in law's birthday, or perhaps because Lily had become more thoughtful under her elder sister's guidance, she had specifically bought several cartons of soft China cigarettes for him to smoke at home.

Logan snorted dismissively and said, "So young and already so wasteful and extravagant. Your father in law smokes the hard packs, yet you smoke the soft ones. What kind of propriety is this?"

Luis chuckled lightly and could not be bothered to argue with him. He knew this guy was just a contrarian, and talking to him was a waste of breath. If he really could not hold back, slapping him a few times would be more satisfying than haggling with him over every little thing.

Saying this, he shuffled a few steps and found a chair to sit down. Lily, sharp eyed, said, "Uncle, that is the seat of honor."

"I know it is the seat of honor!"

Logan said brashly, "If Arthur were here today, he would sit there. Since he is not, then naturally, I should sit there."

Leah could not help but say, "Uncle, today is my mother's birthday. The seat of honor is reserved for her."

"You have no sense of propriety at all."

Logan sat down on his own accord, looked up, and rolled his eyes, saying, "How old is your mother? She has not even reached sixty, it does not count as a major birthday. It should not be such a lavish affair in the first place."

"According to custom and rules, unless it is a major birthday, the seat of honor is definitely where the man sits."

He shook his head with a know it all attitude, his pedantic scholar act so irritating it was almost laughable. One really wanted to crack open his brain and study what was inside.

Ruth was also angered into laughter, saying, "Logan, this is not a lavish affair. The main point is, my son in law has money and is willing to spend it."

"Exactly!"

Nancy could not help but say, "Uncle, it is my mother's birthday, not yours. When you have your own major birthday celebration, you can even sit on the table for all I care, let alone the seat of honor."

"Do you even understand how to respect your elders?"

Logan frowned.

Ruth swore and grumbled, "You are the one who does not understand. I am your wife's elder sister. How can you be so presumptuous as to steal the host's role?"

Luis secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking that his Mother in law, this shrew, was even using idioms now. She had definitely toned it down a lot today.

If it were her old explosive temper, not only would Logan have been subjected to a torrent of abuse by now, but Daniel would also have scratch marks all over his face.

"Elder Sister, it is not your major birthday..."

Logan was just about to spout his old feudalistic nonsense.

Lily immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle, even if the seat of honor must be for a man, since my father is not here, it should be for my husband to sit. How could it possibly be your turn?"

"That is right, the man of our family is my brother in law. Uncle, you certainly do not count."

Leah chimed in from the side, saying sarcastically, "This is basic common sense. Uncle, as an educated person, you could not possibly not know this."

Luis watched with sheer schadenfreude. The combat prowess of the Wood family women was truly formidable.

When encountering such verbal battles in the future, he could just fan the flames and then sit back and watch the show. Now, even his sister in law was starting to awaken.

"He, he is a son in law, not a son."

Logan's face flushed red as he said, "Moreover, he is a live in son in law. What right does he have to sit in the seat of honor?"

"Oh, so are you my son or my son in law that you have the face to sit here?"

Mother in law Ruth came over and hugged Luis's arm, carefully watching her son in law's expression, afraid that the term 'live in son in law' would anger Luis.

Seeing Luis smiling as usual, Ruth felt more confident and said even more acerbically, "Logan, even if Arthur were dead.

This seat would still not be your turn to sit."

"A son in law is half a son. Since he is my live in son in law, he is my son. He would not dare to fight with me for it, so what gives you the right?"

Nancy also had no patience for this uncle and snorted, "Mom, perhaps Uncle wants to pay for the meal. Then let him sit there."

"Oh, Uncle wants to treat everyone?"

Lily played along with her.

"This meal is not expensive, just a few thousand dollars. Uncle is so self righteous about it, I suppose that amount is nothing to him!"

Nancy snorted.

Ruth also said, "My son in law is paying for it and he does not even dare to sit in the seat of honor. Where on earth do you get the nerve?"

The onslaught from the Wood family mother and daughters made Logan's old face unable to bear the shame.

Although this rigid angry young man liked to nitpick, he was not someone who would make trouble without reason.

"Get up! If my elder sister's friends see this, they will think she has remarried you."

Eloise was also a little angry. She went over and pulled at him. Logan conceded and stood up, found a random seat to sit down, and began to sulk.

Luis and the Wood sisters exchanged glances, utterly speechless. Sometimes they really could not understand where such people got their confidence.

This kind of person was different from Daniel. He was a classic, ultimate moron, with appallingly low emotional and intellectual intelligence. Getting angry with him felt like a waste of time. Just thinking about it made them feel sorry for the aunt and her daughter.

"Wow, you are here. There are greeters at the door. Please, come in quickly."

The door opened, and a formidable group of nearly ten young married women arrived. They were all old neighbors and long-time card partners, every one of them a familiar face.

Their looks were all quite similar; some were middle-aged beauties, some still retained their charm, and of course, there were some plain ones too. Naturally, the most enchanting among them was the pretty widow Yana. It was said she rarely wore makeup or used skincare products, but she paid more attention to wellness than anyone else.

Her skin was fair and flawless, practically wrinkle-free, plump and as tender as her daughter's. Now, with a slightly more refined appearance, light makeup, and a well-fitting dress, her charm was truly captivating, even rivaling Nancy's.

"Aunt Yana, you look so beautiful today," Lily said, her eyes lighting up.

"Am I not beautiful every day?" Yana replied. As she spoke, she glanced secretly at Luis, her expression a mix of shyness and a subtle, flirtatious sparkle in her eyes.

Luis responded with a sly, lecherous grin. Yana rolled her eyes at him before going to talk to the others.

Their arrival instantly filled the private room with a cacophony of chattering voices and laughter. Luis and Logan exchanged a look, mutual annoyance at the headache-inducing noise clear in their eyes.

Luis simply went over and sat next to him. Logan looked somewhat startled but still managed a smile, saying, "Why didn't Daniel come?"

"Him? He's busy with something!" Luis couldn't be bothered to explain further. Someone like Logan, who thought so highly of himself, looked down on everyone else; he acted like he was second only to heaven itself, and he certainly looked down on Daniel, that idle loafer living off his parents.

Strangely enough, he actually respected Luis. Even without much education, Luis was hardworking and didn't talk much. Though they didn't communicate often, they had never actually had a falling out.

"You and your smoking, you should really save some money. Expenses get much bigger after you have a child," Logan said, frowning and adopting a paternalistic tone. "And this place, why such an extravagant production? Wouldn't it be better for just the family to have a meal together behind closed doors?"

LUST SYSTEM: HAREM OF BEAUTIFUL WOMENC215: Guests Arrived

Chapter 215: Guests Arrived

"Just a little luxury once in a while!" Well, it seemed they still had little common ground for conversation.

It wasn't a child's birthday where gifts were expected, nor was it an elderly person's birthday requiring money, so before coming, Ruth had made it clear that no one needed to buy any gifts.

The intermediary, Aunt Kiara, said with a laugh, "Sister Ruth said she was treating everyone at the Gestor Palace. I thought she was joking at first, never expected it to be real."

"What's there to joke about? It's the children's filial piety," Ruth replied.

"Oh my god, do you know what the Gestor Palace is? The aquarium at the entrance has so much seafood I've never even seen before!!"

Amid the casual chatter, they were full of envy. Ruth smiled, radiant as a peach blossom in March.

Lily sat obediently to the side, somewhat mesmerized by her husband's calm and collected demeanor. Softly, she asked, "Honey, did you really buy a Porsche?"

"I'll buy you an even better one later," Luis said gently, taking her hand.

Lily blushed, then said happily, "Don't, it's too expensive. I wouldn't dare drive it."

"You two, stop flaunting your love," Nancy said as she walked over, spreading her arms to hug both Luis and Lily from either side.

She was wearing denim shorts and a sleeveless top today. When she bent over, a hint of her beautiful cleavage was faintly visible, and her breasts brushed against Luis's face, though it was unclear whether it was intentional or not.

Such a gesture among family wasn't considered over the top. Lily rolled her eyes at her and giggled, "We'll flaunt it if we want to. Can't Big Sister stand it?"

Nancy kissed her on the cheek and teased, "Feeling jealous? But I need to borrow your husband for a bit now."

"What do you mean, 'borrow my husband'?" Lily found the wording a bit strange.

"It's perfectly legitimate. He's my illicit lover, didn't you hear earlier?" At this, both sisters covered their mouths and snickered. Lily also found it somewhat amusing when she thought about it. But this was a family scandal that shouldn't be spread.

Nancy secretly gave Luis a seductive glance, took his hand, and said to Lily with a mischievous smile, "Well then, the illicit lover is coming with me. We need to choose the wine for tonight."

"Adulterous scoundrels!!" Lily laughed and scolded, completely treating it as a joke.

Many guests at high-end hotels preferred to bring their own drinks, bringing wines that suited their taste or some aged vintages. Generally, paying a corkage fee was still cheaper than buying from the hotel.

In front of the Gestor Palace was their own operated storefront, a very large liquor specialty shop. Whether it was white spirits, imported spirits, or red wine, the variety of brands was arguably the most comprehensive in the city. The liquor prices were never inflated, just a 10% service fee added, so there was no need to go through the trouble of bringing your own.

"Mom, what do you think of this Port?" Nancy brought an iPad over to ask her mother's opinion.

Ruth, thoroughly enjoying the flattery, didn't even turn her head. "Whatever."

Yana took the iPad, looked at it, and stuck out her tongue. "Over two hundred dollars a bottle! Luis, you must have struck it rich."

"It's Mom's birthday. We can't skimp," Luis said. Seeing his mother-in-law's spring-like, vanity-satisfied smile, he felt any amount of money spent was worth it.

"Mom, what about the white spirits? sorghum, or something else?" Nancy asked again.

Luis finally understood: his sister-in-law had pulled him aside specifically for further bragging rights. Naturally, he had to play along. "Mom, you should at least pick something. We don't know the aunts' preferences."

"Let's all choose together," Ruth called everyone over to help choose. Seeing that all the wines here started at over fifty dollars, with some even costing thousands, they gasped in admiration.

This group of women gathered together, chattering noisily, was a real headache. Luis, feeling overwhelmed, decided to make a quick escape.

They finally settled on sorghum. The private room was attended by three well-trained service staff. After opening the bottles, they moved like butterflies among flowers, pouring for everyone. Each person was also provided with a glass of orange juice.

The private room door opened, and a very formally dressed server entered pushing a cart.

On it was a dreamy three-tiered cake.

Though not particularly large, it was exceptionally delicate and exquisite, so beautifully crafted it seemed something only seen on television. An ordinary bakery definitely couldn't produce such a style or level of craftsmanship.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Leah's eyes lit up, and she, like the others, gathered around and began taking pictures.

A bunch of women were extremely excited. Luis quietly offered a cigarette to Logan. At this point, as the only two men in the private room, they stood to the side, not wanting to speak.

The group of women chattered away while taking photos, and Yana exclaimed in admiration, "This cake must be very expensive, you'd never see something like this in a regular store."

Nancy couldn't hide her pride as she said, "It's not that expensive, just 200 dollars. You have to get it custom-made from a specialized high-end store."

"Wasting money again, your mother isn't so particular."

Though Ruth said this, her heart was already blooming with joy.

The atmosphere was excellent. The waiter was very tactful and dimmed the splendid lights of the private room. After the candles were lit, Luis personally placed the birthday crown on his mother-in-law's head.

"It's not made of paper?"

Everyone, with their sharp eyes, noticed this wasn't the usual paper crown provided by cake shops.

"This??"

Ruth was also a little puzzled; it had some weight to it.

"Mom, make a wish first."

Ruth made a wish and blew out the candles amidst everyone's cheers. The opulent lights of the private room promptly brightened again.

The cake was cut and served, each person receiving just a small piece as a token gesture.

However, you truly get what you pay for; it was genuinely delicious, and everyone was full of praise. Leah even proactively suggested taking the leftovers home.

"Where was this crown bought?"

Just then, Nancy informed the waiters they could start serving the dishes. Everyone returned to their seats, and only then did Ruth pick up the crown from her head, speaking with some astonishment.

"Mom, the box is right here, you must keep it safe and not misplace it."

Luis casually handed over a jewelry box. Everyone then realized this exquisite crown was actually made of gold. It was certainly valuable, but more importantly, it represented a heartfelt gesture.

"Brother-in-law, when it comes to flattery, you're the master."

Nancy whispered.

Seeing their mother's utterly delighted expression, Lily, hearing her sister's words, giggled and said, "Big sister, my husband is very shrewd. From now on, with Mom backing him, he can pretty much do as he pleases at home."

"That's right, just scraping by, don't laugh at me, big sister."

Amid the conversation and laughter, the waiters entered pushing a meal cart. Each person received an appetizer, shark fin soup, accompanied by coriander and aromatic vinegar, making it very appetizing, and the presentation was undoubtedly refined.

The large round table, seating over ten people, had an automatic rotating center. The first dish was placed before Ruth, who occupied the seat of honor, showing great attention to detail.

"Boston Lobster Simmered with Blue Cheese, please enjoy."

Nancy was the first to raise her glass and stand, calling out, "Happy birthday, Mom."

"Happy birthday, Sis."

"Happy birthday, Sister."

Everyone raised their glasses and stood up.

This time, Logan couldn't possibly spoil the mood; he likewise downed the wine in his glass in one go.

They were using small liquor cups specifically for baijiu, each person had a set in front of them. Only Lily, being pregnant and not wanting to drink today, was having juice.

Luis proactively poured wine for Logan, hoping this esteemed guest would stay in good spirits today and not say anything to dampen the occasion.

After all, this was a birthday banquet he had meticulously prepared.

"Uncle, let me propose a toast to you, wishing you smooth sailing in your work."

To boost his mother-in-law's favorability meter and successfully win over the beautiful, voluptuous mature woman, Luis naturally had no qualms about flattering Logan, this unstable element.
