Chapter 721: Chapter 721: I Have Triplets (11)
The servants filled everyone’s teacups with expensive tea from their teapots, constantly refilling their cups.
Apart from Chinese New Year, it was rare for the Burton’s Mansion to host such a gathering like this evening.
As soon as Madam Burton and Steve entered the eting room, impatient voices started to push for answers.
“Sister-in-law, please don’t keep us in suspense. You called us here in the middle of the night, so what’s going on?” The one who spoke was Steve’s third aunt.
“Yeah, big sister, you said on the phone that this is sothing serious, concerning the future of the Burtons. What exactly is it?” chid in Steve’s second uncle.
Madam Burton had simply played the role of a convener, and she still had no idea what her son’s intentions were. She gave a dry laugh in response to everyone’s urgency, glanced at Steve, and confessed, “Actually, it wasn’t who asked you all to co. It was Steve.”
“Pfft…” Upon hearing Madam Burton’s words, Olivia Foster, the eldest cousin of Steve’s fourth branch of the family, chuckled before saying in a neither salty nor bland tone, “Steve? And it concerns the future of the Burtons? Will Pristine’s Enterprises go bankrupt? How co I didn’t hear any wind about Pristine’s stock market having any accidents like last ti when it invested in Gregory’s Enterprises, causing the stock market to crash?”
The sarcastic tone of the fourth sister-in-law was evident. Steve hadn’t even started speaking yet, and Wenny Burton first waved at the child Steve was holding in his arms, waited for her son to slide down and handed him over to a nanny to soothe him to sleep, before speaking unhurriedly, “Fourth sister-in-law, you’ve been married to our family for so many years now, do I really have to remind you constantly that you’re one of us?”
Wenny’s words were still sowhat tactful, but when it ca to Steve, he didn’t spare any face as he said, “Fourth sister-in-law, rest assured, if Pristine’s Enterprises were ever to go bankrupt, I will inform you at the first opportunity. But I think, in your lifeti, you won’t see that day, after all, I, Steve, am so much younger than you.”
“Cough, cough…” Before Steve could finish, his father, sitting in the main seat, coughed and covered his mouth. Steve obediently closed his mouth. Madam Burton saw this and imdiately stepped in to diate the situation, “Everyone’s here, and it’s late. We all have work tomorrow, so, Steve, stop keeping us in suspense.”
Steve saw the servant with the teapot enter the eting room and refill everyone’s tea, so he reached out, took the teapot, waved the servant away, and waited for them to close the door behind them.
He then stood up, carrying the teapot, and thodically poured tea for everyone present. He then returned to his seat, picked up his teacup, took a gentle sip, and looked up. His gaze scanned every face in the room before he finally spoke, “The reason I called you all here so urgently tonight is to inform everyone that our Burton family has added three new mbers.”
After Steve’s words settled, the entire eting table erupted in noise.
“Three new mbers added? Which female mbers of the Burtons are pregnant?”
“When did this happen? How co there was no news or indication? Who is it?”
As the questions flew, everyone circled the female family mbers, guessing at who it could be.
Steve took another leisurely sip from his teacup, and then continued calmly, “You can stop guessing; it’s .”
