Female Novel
Chapter 409 Unwelcome
A few hours later, they arrived at the Arlington Airport.
No one from the Maxwell family came to receive them, so they took a cab there.
After a tumultuous two-hour ride, they finally arrived at Leah's family home, the Arlington Maxwell
Mansion.
The Maxwell family was a reputable family in Arlington. There were two stone statues by the door,
giving it a majestic feel.
The porch was already filled with several luxury cars. Even the cheapest ones were Mercedes Benz,
Porsche, or Range Rovers.
There were several Bentleys and Rolls-Royces as well.
In fact, the majority of the cars were sports cars.
Penny exclaimed, "Mum, I didn't know grandpa is so rich!”
Leah stroked her hair and sighed, "Yep, they're considered a rich family in
Arlington."
That day was Butch Maxwell's seventieth birthday. He was wearing a ceremonial dress and holding
onto his second wife, Sasha. Several family members were at the door welcoming the guests as well.
When Leah saw her father, she knelt down and sobbed. "Father, happy birthday."
Suddenly, the entire venue turned their eyes toward Leah and Nathan and started to murmur between
themselves.
Butch only allowed them to attend his birthday celebration because he heard that Leah's daughter was
successful.
He had not expected them to come in a cab. His face fell.
Everyone else had come in luxury cars.
The fact that his own daughter had come in a cab was shameful to him.
He glanced at Leah and commented indifferently, "No need forthat. I have many guests today, so I
probably won't have the time to entertain your family. Just head inside and find a seat."
Leah's stepmother, Sasha, snorted. "Tch, a bunch of street rats! Stop screaming as though you want
the entire world to know that you're here. I'm feeling embarrassed for you!”
Leah's face flushed red with embarrassment.
Nathan and Penny were enraged and wanted to lash out at them, but Leah stopped her daughter and
son-in-law. She whispered, "Penny, Nathan, let's register and give them our gift before taking a seat
inside."
Penny and Nathan did not want to make life difficult for Leah, so they held themselves back. After
presenting their gift, they followed Leah into the hall.
There were many guests in the hall who were chatting with each other in clusters.
None of them talked to Leah. Some of them could not recognize her anymore, but most of them
despised Leah and did not even bother to say hi.
Leah and the others took a seat at an unassuming corner.
When she saw these familiar yet distant people, Leah was filled with lament.
At this point in time, they were approached by a man in his forties and two subordinates.
That man was Jericho Maxwell, Leah's stepbrother.novelbin

Leah got up and greeted him, "It's been awhile, brother."
Leah bit her lip. "Dad told me to attend his birthday celebration."
