Too Late for Regrets Chapter 68
The mansion was already filled with people. They were having a small birthday celebration for Arlo, nothing too grand. Patrick and Fiona stood to one side. Fiona looked displeased and pinched Patrick. Patrick winced in pain and asked, "What's wrong, Fiona?" Fiona snapped, "Just thinking about Mavis bringing that beggar back makes my blood boil! I'll never approve of this marriage!" Patrick smiled bitterly. "Fiona, there's no use for us to disapprove of it. Dad has spoken, what can we do?" He sighed and added, "Anyway, we still have a month. Let's see what kind of person this Timothy really is." Fiona rolled her eyes, her face full of disdain. "What kind of person could he be? He's just a filthy beggar! If someone like that becomes my son-in-law, I'll never be able to show my face in public again! "You know your older brother Hugh's family looks down on us. I was hoping Mavis would marry someone capable who could help her. But now, not only can't we vent our frustrations,

"I heard that Cassian has a thing for Mavis. He's also on good terms with the Jeffersons, so it's not surprising he's here." "Is that so? Then who's that guy standing next to Mavis?" Everyone looked at Timothy with confusion. They couldn't figure out his background. Fiona's face lit up with a smile when she saw Cassian. "Cassian, you're here! Come, have a seat." She eagerly welcomed him inside. These days, the Kramer family had been very successful. Although they weren't as powerful as the Six Great Families, they were arguably the strongest outside of that elite group. Moreover, the Kramer family had enormous potential.Fiona thought very highly of Cassian. In her eyes, he would be the perfect son-in-law. Her attitude toward him was completely different from how she had treated Timothy earlier. Cassian smiled and said, "Mrs. Jefferson, I came in a rush today and only had time to prepare a gift for Mr. Jefferson Senior. I forgot to get something for you, but I'll make it up to

There was an old painting inside the safe. A sense of antiquity washed over everyone present. Someone gasped softly, "Is that… 'The Nine Heavens Ascending' by Gregory Taylor?" Arlo approached slowly, his face filled with awe. Even his voice was trembling. "Indeed, is this… really 'The Nine Heavens Ascending'? This must be worth several million dollars!" Cassian smiled and said, "Don't worry about the price, as long as you like it, Mr. Jefferson Senior." Though Cassian appeared nonchalant, he was secretly thrilled. It seemed he had won over Arlo, which was the first step in winning Mavis' hand in marriage. Standing nearby, Fiona could barely contain her joy as she beamed at Cassian. She said, "Mr. Kramer, you're so generous! You're not only wealthy but thoughtful too. This is exactly the kind of young man I like!" She then rolled his eyes at Timothy in the corner with a face full of contempt. "Unlike some poor and bitter man who has the nerve to reach above their station! Di

Cassian looked at Timothy as if he was staring at a fool. Fiona's expression was also filled with scorn. The more she looked at Timothy, the more she despised him. Being poor was one thing, but being a braggart was intolerable!She couldn't fathom the idea of having someone like him as her son-in-law."Mr. Yeager, I used to think you were just a bit down on your luck, but at least you had decent character. Now I see you're not only poor but also a shameless liar! "No, this isn't just lying—you're spinning the wildest tales I've ever heard! I've lived for many years, but I've never encountered anyone who could stretch the truth like you," Fiona said, her tone dripping with mockery. Mavis's face flushed with embarrassment. She pinched Timothy and whispered, "Everyone here has seen their share of valuable things. I can understand exaggerating a little, but why make such outrageous claims?"Timothy turned to her, his expression serious. "Darling, you don't believe me either?""Tw

Even Mavis was stunned. As the CEO of Jefferson Group, she had seen her fair share of valuable items. But an eldergroot worth tens of millions? This was her first time witnessing such a thing.The hefty price tag sent a shiver down her spine.Timothy tilted his head with a sly smile. "I told you before, didn't I? I wanted to give Grandpa a special gift.""This gift is just too…" Mavis was at a loss for words. Her perception on Timothy shifted, filled with a strange new light.This man… Why did it feel like the more she got to know him, the more secrets he had? An eldergroot worth tens of millions—this wasn't something just anyone could possess.Arlo stood dumbfounded, staring at the two eldergroots. After a long pause, he finally picked them up, his gaze unfocused.Oswald snapped out of his shock and said, "Arlo, I never imagined you could get your hands on such a priceless treasure! Just seeing these red eldergroots with my own eyes is enough to fulfill me in this lifetime. You

Timothy's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a menacing air enveloped him. Hugh involuntarily took a few steps back.Timothy sneered. "That's more like it."With Scott in tow, Timothy wandered around the mansion, while Scott desperately begged, "Dad, help me!"Hugh clenched his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury. He wanted to intervene, but Timothy's formidable presence made him hesitate. The last thing he wanted was to be humiliated in front of everyone!The crowd followed Timothy, eager to see what he would do next. Scott continued to wail, "Cassian, save me! Help me!"Cassian's face turned pale. After a moment's hesitation, he stepped in front of Scott, facing Timothy. "Mr. Yeager, don't go too far! This is the Jefferson family's home, and Scott is one of the youngest members of the Jeffersons. Don't you have any respect for the Jefferson family?" Cassian said. Timothy raised an eyebrow and looked at Cassian with a smirk. "You can't control me, so you want to use the Jeffe

Cassian clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh. His gaze filled with bitterness, but he dared not speak up.Timothy stretched and turned to Arlo. "Mr. Jefferson Senior, you're not mad at me, are you?"Arlo forced a smile. "Tim, I'm not angry with you. Scotty definitely needed a lesson."Timothy smiled and glanced around the room. Everyone's perception of him had shifted drastically. Who they had initially thought was a poor, insignificant young man had just revealed himself to be someone who could buy tens of millions worth of eldergroot with ease. Furthermore, he had stood his ground against Hugh and Cassian and given Scott a harsh lesson.This was no ordinary person!Even Fiona's impression of Timothy had changed. Her previous disdain for him was now mixed with a grudging admiration for his audacity. It took guts to stand up to Hugh like that.Timothy's gaze then fell upon the statue in the mansion. Addressing Arlo, he said, "Mr. Jefferson Senior, ge

At the Jefferson Estate.As the party concluded, guests departed one by one, leaving only Oswald behind.The Jefferson family and Oswald sat in the grand hall. Arlo took a sip from his teacup and turned to Oswald with a smile. "Oz, what do you think of that young man, Timothy?"Oswald narrowed his eyes and said with a knowing look, "From my years of experience, I could tell that this man is not ordinary."Overhearing this, Mavis looked confused and asked, "Mr. Langham Senior, you said Timothy wasn't an ordinary man. What did you mean by that?"Oswald smiled at Mavis and said, "Mavis, my judgment is rarely wrong. Remember my advice—you must keep Timothy close. Also, be wary of Cassian."Mavis blushed slightly, biting her lip. Then, she quickly changed the subject. "What's wrong with Cassian?"Oswald shook his head. "From the moment I saw him, I had an uneasy feeling. He's deeply calculating. Also, that painting he gave Arlo is a fake.""A fake?"Arlo sneered. "I didn't expect
