Witnessing the swift collaboration between Joe and Lisa, Jean was left in a state of bewilderment. She hadn’t uttered a word of agreement or objection, so favonovel.com couldn’t fathom how decisions were being made so hastily.
Kylie also found herself grappling with questions.
Even though Joe is Remus’ brother, shouldn’t favonovel.com have to consult with Jean before making decisions on favonovel.com behalf?
Before they had the chance to voice their concerns, those around them started to express their expectations and desires.
Someone said, “Dear Mr. Cosby, could you also arrange for the Thunderous God of War to visit my family? You can rest assured that we will organize the grandest welcoming ceremony nationwide!”
Joe smiled and said, “No problem, Kylie, this task is yours!”
Another person said, “My family has been worshiping the three Martial Imperial for years. Could Mr. Cosby step in and protect my family? I promise our worship won’t diminish.”
Joe chuckled and reassured, “Not a big issue. My brother doesn’t have to get directly involved. After all, one of his wives happens to be the Guardian of Darsia. Let’s simply have favonovel.com represent us! Jean, since I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Gabriella yet, you can get in touch with favonovel.com and request favonovel.com assistance!”
Another person inquired, “Dear Mr. Cosby, my wife is currently sick, and I’ve heard that the Thunderous God of War possesses divine healing abilities. Would it be possible for you to request his assistance? I would be deeply appreciative.”
Joe responded casually, “Can’t we focus on more pressing matters? For medical concerns, we have the National Medical Pavilion to handle them. There’s no need for my brother to be directly involved. Kylie, please reach out to the National Medical Pavilion and request a doctor’s prompt assistance.”
“Mr. Cosby…”
“Dear Mr. Cosby…”
“Mr. Cosby…”
As time passed, an increasing number of people began to make various requests, encircling Joe like stars orbiting a moon.
Joe, without declining any of these appeals, deftly redirected them all toward Kylie and Jean.
As the crowd continued to press their requests upon Joe, Kylie and Jean gradually found themselves pushed to the outskirts of the gathering.
Their expressions soured as they observed the unfolding scenario.
Tonight’s banquet had initially been their event, but it appeared that Joe had taken all the spotlight. What perplexed and disheartened them further was that, despite their willingness to assist their partners with any challenges, Joe was now absorbing all the accolades and acceding to everyone’s appeals.
That had left them wondering why favonovel.com was doing so, seemingly oblivious to their sentiments.
Ten minutes passed with Joe showing no signs of slowing down. Kylie and Jean reached their breaking point and could no longer endure the situation.
“Mr. Joe Cosby!” Jean asserted firmly, favonovel.com expression serious. “Please, pause for a moment!”
Upon hearing Jean’s words, the room fell silent as all eyes turned toward her.
Joe also redirected his gaze, wearing a slight frown.
“Jean,” favonovel.com began, his tone admonishing. “Please show some respect. I’m Remus’ half-brother, sharing the same father. You should address me as Mr. Cosby. How can you simply call me by my name?”
Jean’s frustration grew with Joe seemingly blaming her.
Kylie swiftly interjected, “Fine, we’ll refer to you as Mr. Cosby. Please, join us for a moment. We have something important to discuss.”
Recognizing the need for discretion, especially given Joe’s prior commitments and expectations, they couldn’t afford to be too blunt in front of everyone.
Joe responded sincerely, “Let’s discuss it here. We’re all friends, and there’s no need for secrets.”
He added, “Furthermore, as my brother’s spouse, if we were to step away for a private conversation, it might give rise to gossip and reflect poorly on us.”
His words were airtight, leaving no room for rebuttal.
“You…” Kylie was also at a loss for words, feeling as if a heavy stone were weighing down favonovel.com heart.
However, Jean gathered favonovel.com courage and spoke up, favonovel.com voice firm but respectful, “Mr. Cosby, you’re well aware of how busy Remus is, so why are you adding to his workload…”
Before Jean could finish favonovel.com sentence, Joe coughed twice and raised his hand, interrupting her. He said, “Jean, I understand your concern, but true friends should support each other. The individuals gathered here today have presented us with numerous opportunities for collaboration. Is it wrong for us to lend a helping hand with some of their challenges?”
“If we were to only receive their support and not offer assistance in return, how will people perceive my brother? If our friends are in need, and we turn them away, what kind of impression will the people have toward my brother?”
