Everyone laughed themselves silly at Levi’s question.
“Do you think your family is qualified to get an invitation? Have you guys ever contributed to the Lopez family?” Shaun retaliated directly.
“Yeah! Dream on! Can you guys be any more shameless to expect to receive an invitation?” Henry questioned unabashedly.
Zoey and her parents had given up on all hope.
They looked at Levi with nothing but disgust in their eyes.
However, Levi let out a cold snort. “It’s for my sake that this invitation is given to you! I intended to give them to my in-laws, and they were given to you passingly.”
“Have some pride, Levi!” Fabian exploded. “Clearly, Samuel got these invitations through his connections. What the hell has it got to do with you?!”
“Yeah! Who the hell do you think you are?” Samuel’s anger mounted. “How dare you try to take credit for this?”
Soon after, Henry pointed at Aaron. “Just look at your son-in-law, Aaron! Do something about him, and don’t bring him to our next family banquet! We cannot tolerate such insolence!”
Levi was about to say something when Zoey pulled him outside. “Come with me!!!”
She couldn’t stand him any longer as hot torrents of grief coursed down her face.
“Levi, please, don’t embarrass me anymore. I really can’t hold on if you keep this up!”
Levi wiped away her tears and asked, “Do you want to attend the banquet, Zoey?”
“Who wouldn’t want to? Didn’t you see the look in Mom and Dad’s eyes?” Zoey said grumpily. “But there’s nothing we can do, even if we want to go. It’s not like you can get us in, can you?”
“I can!” Levi said decisively.
This was too much for Zoey to handle. Her temper sparked, and she turned on her heels, trying to leave.
“Zoey, why don’t you trust me?” Levi asked.
“How am I supposed to trust you when you’re behaving like this?” Zoey replied with a question of her own.
Levi chuckled. “I’ll definitely get you inside. I, Levi Garrison, am a man of my word!”

“No buts! We don’t need you here. Besides, your good son-in-law just came back from prison. I don’t want him to stain my place with bad luck!” Harry said, then left with the crowd.
Before leaving, Samuel, Melanie, and a few others stood before Levi, waving the invitation cards in their hands. “Don’t disappoint me tomorrow night. Don’t say you know me if you can’t get in. I can’t afford to throw my reputation down the gutters.”
Levi snickered. “You’ll never know who’s the one who can’t get in when the time comes.”
“Alright then. We’ll soon see about that.”
Everyone left happily with an invitation card in their hands, leaving Aaron and his family sighing and groaning.
Aaron cast a deep glance at Levi.
If only he could bring honor for the family…
It’s a pity that he just got out of prison. Even surviving is a problem for him.
After that, Levi followed Zoey home.
Compared to the Garrison family, this was his home—a home where a woman had been waiting for him for six years.
Back home, Levi took the initiative to lay a mattress on the floor, but Zoey let him sleep on the bed instead.
Thereafter, he lay on the bed while Zoey continued to draft a plan at the desk.
“What are you doing?” Levi asked.
“I’m drafting a proposal for an ecological park development project at West City. Even if the chance of success is not even one percent, I’m going to try my best to win this bid!” Zoey smiled.
Until the following night, not once did Zoey complain about him, nor did she show a long face.
But she couldn’t help it anymore as it was almost time for the welcome banquet.
“Levi Garrison, I trusted you so much and bet everything on you. But where’s the invitation? How on earth am I supposed to believe you now? I’d thought you would come up with ideas to get us in, but you didn’t step out from this house nor made a phone call the moment we came home last night. Do you think the invitation will just fall from the sky?”
Aaron and Caitlyn added, “What are you waiting for? Zoey had made a big promise last night. If you don’t make this happen, there won’t be a place for us to live in the Lopez family in the future.”
Levi glanced at the clock. “It’s almost time. Just follow me.”
Driving in Aaron’s Haval, they arrived at Paradise Villa, where the God of War’s welcome banquet was held.
“Zoey, I will prove to you now that I can do it!”
Levi pulled Zoey and headed towards the entrance.
