To apologize?
Chapter 51
There was no such thing!
Then Caroline said calmly. “The child made an unintentional mistake. I’m willing to pay three times the compensation for the breaking things, but isn’t it too much to force a child who can’t speak to apologize?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many guests looked at the child strangely.
It seemed that the news online was right. Although Leon from the Ziegler family was good–looking, he was indeed mute!
Amelia and Romilly listened to the whispers of the people around them and felt very smug.
Caroline’s words were equivalent to confirming that Leon was mute. Everyone in Jipsdale would know that about Leon later.
How could a mute be worthy of being a future successor?
Caroline glanced at everyone coldly and then said, “If Leo has to apologize for accidentally breaking something, shouldn’t someone from the Xydias family who let a dog attack me and almost injure me be sentenced? Should we ask Captain Xydias to investigate it?”
Both Melody and Savannah felt guilty. The people around them were also curious about what had just happened.
Did someone in the Xydias family release a dog to bite people?
“I look into it. But it’s Zayden’s birthday today, and everyone should be happy. Leo was careless, so we should be more
tolerant.”
After Jayden said so, he glanced at Melody, hinting at her not to cause trouble.
How could Jayden not know that someone deliberately released the mastill?
However, if Jayden were to reveal it now, it would only cause more trouble and ruin the atmosphere of the birthday party.
Steven also said. “That’s right. It’s been taken care of. It’s fine now. It’s usual for children to be a bit naughty! Come on, let’s blow out the candles!”
Steven glossed over the matter. Melody and Savannah secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They would be in trouble if they really wanted to pursue the matter.
Caroline patted Mayson’s little head. She was sorry that Mayson had to suffer on behalf of Leon.
Mayson felt nothing. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him. However, he felt sorry for Leon. Leon was constantly being discriminated against and attacked by the outside world.
Soon, Jayden pushed a large three–layer cake over from outside. Everyone went forward and gathered around him.
They lit candles and sang the birthday song.
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…”
“Zayden, make a wish!”
The six–year–old Zayden was handsome and looked very much like his father. He was wearing a birthday hat and was being praised by everyone. The little guy’s face was filled with a happy smile as he closed his eyes and made a wish.
The blessings echoed through the villa as Zayden blew out the candles with the other children.
Everyone applauded. The children were all happy to eat the delicious cake.
Mayson didn’t eat it because he hated cream. But it wouldn’t arouse suspicion even though he didn’t eat cake. After all, Leon was usually picky.
The two brothers were alike in this respect.
After sharing the cake, one of the guests said to Lawrence, “Mr. Xydias, you’re the President of the National Calligraphy Association, and you’re also a famous lettering master. Would you like to show us all in public today?”
Everyone complimented Lawrence and said, “Yes. That’s right. Mr. Xydias, please show us!”
Lawrence waved his hand. “No, no. I’m old. Let Zayden, my great–grandson, write it for me!” he said with a smile.
Lawrence wanted to show off his great–grandson Zayden. Everyone was also supportive, shouting the student surpassed his master. They wanted to see the Xydias family’s little prodigy show off his skill.
Spon, the long table was covered with pens and paper. Zayden stood in front of the table. Bryan, Kent, and a few children from other families surrounded him.
Zayden had been practicing lettering since he was little. His handwriting was great. When he wrote it, everyone nodded and praised him.
Chapter 51
“He is terrific. Zayden is really outstanding. He is a prodigy!”
“He writes so well. My son is ten years old and can’t even hold a pen properly!”
Zayden indeed had skills. A child without skills could not write such beautiful words. When he finished writing, everyone picked it up and praised him.
“Mr. Xydias, you have a successor!”
When Lawrence heard that, he smiled and shook his head. “It is still immature!” said Lawrence.
In Lawrence’s heart, Zayden did not like practicing lettering and had been forced to practice it since he was little. Therefore, his writing carried a sense of restraint and suppression, lacking talent and spiritual energy.
What a pity!
It would be difficult for Zayden to achieve in lettering in the future.
“Is this still not good enough? Mr. Xydias, your requirements are too high!”
Everyone was still commenting on the words that Zayden had just written. They were all praising him for being a prodigy. Melody and Lilian were proud to hear that.
Who didn’t know that Zayden was famous in Jipsdale?
“I want to write!”
“I want to write it, too!”
At this moment, Bryan and Kent, the two brothers, were also clamoring to write. Lawrence asked Zayden to give them the pen and see how they wrote.
In the end, the two brothers could not hold their pens properly. The words they wrote were like earthworms crawling, which made everyone laugh.
Amelia and Romilly didn’t want their children to embarrass themselves on the spot. They wanted Bryan and Kent to stop. writing, but Bryan and Kent were having fun doing it.
They couldn’t just let Kent and Bryan embarrass themselves. They have to drag Mayson down with them.
Hence, Amelia told Catherine, “Mom, let Leo write, too! The kids are having fun together!”
Catherine looked at the silent Mayson and asked, “Leo, do you want to draw?”
Actually, Catherine wanted to encourage Mayson to fit in the group and not be so withdrawn.
At this moment, Mayson looked up at Mommy. Caroline said. “If you want to write, go over and do it!”
Hence, Mayson walked over. Amelia could not wait to drag Mayson down. She quickly pulled Bryan and Kent aside. “Leo. go ahead and write!” said Amelia.
Mayson walked to the table. The grown–ups had removed the dirty paper and laid a clean one on the table.
Zayden handed Leon his pen, but Mayson did not take it. Instead, Mayson took the thickest pen from the pen holder. Everyone didn’t take him seriously when they saw Mayson couldn’t even pick a proper pen. Lawrence raised an eyebrow and wondered what the boy planned to write with the thickest pen.
Mayson began to get the pen read but did not notice the pen fell on the ground accidentally. The people around him. laughed. It seemed that the child could not even hold the pen steadily. How could he write?
Amelia and Romilly had never seen Mayson write. Moreover, children are not taught lettering in their kindergarten. Just wait for Mayson to make a fool of himself!
Melody, Savannah, and Lilian were waiting to see Mayson embarrass himself. The more embarrassing Mayson was, the more outstanding Zayden would be.
Mayson’s handsome face was calm at this moment. After getting the pen ready, he began to write on the paper.
Everyone thought that Mayson would definitely not be able to write well. However, when the child began to move his pen, the smiles on everyone’s faces gradually disappeared. Then they revealed surprised expressions.
When Mayson wrote out the complete cursive lettering Tiger, a wave of exclamations could be heard at the scene.
“Oh, my god! He can write big letters!”
“Wow. He is great!”
The cursive lettering Tiger was written smoothly and in one go.
Then Mayson put down the pen and stood there quietly.
Everyone around him looked at Mayson in amazement. They all thought he was a pawn, but he had turned out to be a King!

Chapter 51
Oh, my God! He was awesome!
Amelia and the others were all dumbfounded. They were waiting to see Mayson make a fool of himself. However, who knew that Mayson was actually so outstanding?
“Good! Well written! The word is well written!”
Lawrence kept nodding in praise at the moment. His eyes turned excited when he looked at the child. He felt that Mayson was talented in lettering.
The people of the Ziegler family were so shocked that they did not regain their senses. Lawrence asked, “Did Leo learn it before? Who did he learn it from?”
He wanted to know which master the child had learned lettering from.
