"Nothing."

The whole dining fell into another round of silence. As they all tilted their heads towards Max in surprise.

The Matriarch revealed a calm expression, interest appearing in the depth of her eyes.

Whilst Max neutrally met their gaze.

After a few more moments, everyone seemed to realize he wasn’t joking or trying to put up a front. A hint of ridicule appeared in most of them eyes thinking he was ignorant of their grandmother’s identity.

"Hmm, you can think about it later and get back to me."

Nudging the edge of her lips with a napkin, she calmly placed it and revealed a slight smile.

"Hmm." Max replied with a curt nod.

Naturally his cold despondent attracted the irk of the other male youths but never seemed to care.

The Matriarch turned to Evelyn, smiling with motherly grace, the rest of her grandchildren were forced into another round of shock.

"You should come see me later Evelyn."

To her words, Evelyn gave a graceful nod.

"Grandma, we brought you something on our way since we couldn’t come empty handed." The green haired youth was the one to speak. Causing the Matriarch’s eyes to settle on him, while raising her brow in interest.

"I bought you a Pu-Erh tea leaf. I personally travelled to China yesterday to buy it at an auction. According to the test,it is aged twenty five years which is almost unheard of. Taking this would surely ease your heart in turbulent times." With a flattering smile, the green haired youth brought out a small box, behind him one of the maids had arrived and respectfully took it.

"Thank you Blake, that’s so thoughtful of you."

Next to pop out a box was the petite girl, the smallest among the small and the big amongst biggest.

"I crocheted this sweater with love for you. You know what they say; Love is priceless." With a cheeky smile she handed it to the maid behind her.

Following was the girl by her right, then the boy opposite her, then the girl beside him. Next to his sister, the plumpy girl being the most reserved amongst them also gave her a gift. The girl opposite his sister too.

’Ivy the oldest,Olivia the most active, Ava and Annabelle sisters, Daisy the most reserved, Noah often staring at Annabelle, Daniel relating to Ivy and Blake troublesome.’ Max inwardly noted, but then the dining settled into an awkward silence after everyone presented their gift.

At this moment Max exchanged glances with his sister, seeing her take a subtle breath. There was no hint of flattering in her voice, instead she appeared cold and composed just like Ivy had been before showcasing a smile.

"We’ve heard of your love for ancient old varieties, grandmother.

An art piece said to be a lost British treasure was recently discovered in Africa, said to have been left behind by a colonial master of the bygone era. Me and my brother did our best to acquire it, and it’s currently being shipped from Africa." Evelyn’s words caused the whole dining room to become silent, even the Matriarch sat upright with a vivid look of interest in her eyes.

Swiping the screen of her phone, Evelyn politely passed it to her. Adjusting her glass, the Matriarch began nodding her head commendably.

As one of the richest British families, she seemed to know the said art piece. Making everyone in the dining room overwhelmed with curiosity.

"Ok then, you’ve both done well. When I see it, you shall be rewarded."

But Evelyn politely shook her head in refusal,

"No grandmother, it’s a gift."

"Ok then if you say so I shall boldly accept your gracious gift."

Seeing how the Matriarch reacted there was a solemn exchange between the rest of their cousins not daring to imagine the price of the art piece.

’It should be at least $15 million right?’ some guessed in their heart.

’There goes a hundred million.’ Despite his expressionless look, Max felt remorseful without knowing his father’s reason for handing out such.

From the exchange between Evelyn and the Matriarch, it was noticeable that the Matriarch’s mood had been alleviated. Her usually stern face now has warmth to it.

Ding! Zzz Zzz!

Different alarms went off at the same time across the dining room. Everyone turned to their phone to see they had been credited about One Million shit.

"Holy-" Blake wanted to curse out in shock but timely reacted and held back. His face flushed in excitement.

Everyone similarly had their faces flushed in joy.

Seeing her almost emptied account refilled almost hundred times. Evelyn was shocked. Her cold facade broke, her face shone with similar flush like the rest.

However Max’s expression was the most minimal. He raised his brows slightly and kept it back.

"Thank you grandma."

"Thank you grandma."

"Thank you grandma."...

Voicing out one after another, the Matriarch silently stood up. The wheel chair was pushed closer and she sat on it.

The moment she was pushed out, the dining broke out into an excited clamour.

"Hahaha, yes." Blake broke out in joyous laughter.

Following the girls who cheered, slapping hands other than Ivy, his sister and Daisy the plump one.

"Well we should be thankful to these two cousins of ours." one finger at Max and the other at Evelyn, Olive the petite girl joyously said.

"Shit, it is indeed true, we would usually receive five hundred grand." Blake seemed to realize the same thing and quickly composed himself. His smile turned friendlier.

"Sis Evelyn is such a genius." He said walking forward to take Evelyn’s hand and kiss it.

"Hmmm." The rest agreed simultaneously. Their attitude towards Max drastically different since they were still struggling to confront the reality of his change.

Standing up, about to take his leave, he saw Olivia walk towards him.

"Are you really that fatty?" She inquired, making the others turn towards while he silently nodded.

"I am."

Hearing his voice, their expressions all changed.
