A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 771

With Samantha gone, the responsibility of hosting the family banquet naturally fell on Noman.

Norman was deeply fond of Quintis and Samantha, but that didn't mean everyone else felt the same.

Quintis was the second eldest in the family. He had a younger brother, Augustine, and a younger sister, Josie.

Still, blood runs thicker than water. The family made an effort to catch up with Quintis, inviting him to sit and talk about the past few years.

The Lycan family had grown large over the years. So, the older generation had taken up all the chairs. Jack, therefore, was placed at the table with the younger generation.

That table, too, was full. Among them was Greta, who had described Jack as a country bumpkin.

Tristan wasn't present as he was currently busy taking over operations at the Quintis Sandalwood Group and usually worked in Alnewgo.

Having been away for so many years, even the cousins Jack used to play with as a child now seemed distant.

To make matters worse, Greta had stirred up the group beforehand, urging everyone to make things awkward for the country bumpkin.

So, the moment Jack sat down, the previously full table suddenly echoed with the screeching sound of chairs being dragged away.

The seats around him were quickly vacated. The others preferred squeezing in together rather than sitting next to Jack. It was as if he were a stinking fly from the countryside.

This was clearly premeditated; everyone knew who was behind it.

Norman's son, Maverick, was nearing thirty and already held the position of assistant-director level. Word had it he was about to be promoted again.

Like his father, Maverick was a source of pride for the family and had become a leading figure among the younger generation.
