If Brad hadnât introduced himself, they would have wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them.He was a bigwig with tens of billions of dollars in assets. With just a sneeze, he could unleash a massive cascade of effects.What were Skylar and Yulia?How did they manage to gain Bradâs respect?
Could Brad have wanted a piece of the action with Kareem Fashionâs anti-blemish cream project?
However, this explanation seemed a little far-fetched.They werenât the only ones who were shocked.
Even Calvert, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.He had no idea that Skylar would have such a strong reputation.When Skylar told Brad to pay Old Mr. Sue a courtesy visit in the living room, his heart shook. He rushed to Brad and exclaimed, âMr. Brad, wait!ââYou are a distinguished guest among the honored guests. It is truly an honor to have you grace our home here at the Sue residence. Is your visit for a specific reason? Iâll get Grandpa to come out and meet you right away!âIf Homerâs appearance earlier today flattered the Sue family, Bradâs visit immediately ignited a fire in Calvertâs soul.Before today, he thought that, given Bradâs standing, Old Mr. Sue might not even be able to meet him even if he went to his place, let alone the idea of Brad visiting Old Mr. Sue to wish him a happy birthday.Bradâs heart started to race as soon as he heard Calvertâs words. He kept dismissively waving his hands and saying, âThatâs unnecessary, Mr. Calvert! Why should Old Mr. Sue come out to meet me when he is my elder?âHe had no idea who Old Mr. Sue was at first.However, because of Yulia, even Skylar had to address Old Mr. Sue as grandpa, so how could he allow Old Mr. Sue to come out to greet him?Wasnât that against his original purpose for coming here?Brad didnât care how Calvert reacted at the moment. He quickened his pace and made his way into the Sue familyâs living room.
Except for Skylar and Yulia, everyone present had their mouths agape and a look of disbelief on their faces.Anyone with eyes could see that Brad had come to celebrate Old Mr. Sueâs birthday out of respect for Skylar and Yulia, and he was also acting exceptionally humble.Now, Yvonne and the others were at a loss for how to atone for their actions.âSkylar, Yulia, whatâs up with Mr. Brad?â Calvert couldnât stop himself from asking.Yulia, too, looked at Skylar, puzzled.Skylar smiled helplessly.His plan to maintain a low profile today seemed to be completely foiled.Since Homer and Brad were able to learn of the news and show up uninvited, how many others must have heard about it as well?Given how eagerly those people toasted him at Old Mr. Shepardâs birthday banquet the day before, today was only going to get worse.With that in mind, Skylar addressed Calvert directly, âCalvert, hurry up and request that the event organizer add more seating. More uninvited guests will undoubtedly arrive soon to celebrate Grandpaâs birthday.âCalvert was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, âOkay!âAs he was about to turn around and leave, he asked tentatively, âWhat do you think about adding another table? That should suffice, right?âSkylar smiled and shook his head, saying, âAdd ten more tables!ââWhat? Ten tables?âEven the ever-composed Calvert couldnât help but exclaim when he heard that number.Skylar looked down the long corridor where the banquet was being held and said, âI think all the long corridors combined can only add ten tables.ââFirst in, first seated. Finally, when no more seats are available, accept their gifts and give them a bottle of wine in exchange. That way, at the very least, they wouldnât have come in vain.ââThisâ¦âCalvert was so shocked by Skylarâs words that he was at a loss for words.Yvonne and the othersâ faces alternated red from rage and pale from dread.Ten tables?Thatâs one hundred seats!
