Alex was very satisfied with the word fake. He nodded and confirmed, “That’s right.”

The surrounding people were surprised. They looked at each other. After all this time, this Burton family had nothing to do with the war god, Alex?

The Old Master and Old Madam of the Burton family were getting more and more embarrassed. How could they say that they were not related? Weren’t they cousins? Alex Burton was no longer the same as before. They couldn’t let go of such a good grandson.

The Old Madam of the Burton family smiled and said to Alex, “Aiyo, look at you. How can you say that? They’re cousins after all. How can you say that it’s fake?”

The Burton family’s Old Master also said, “That’s right. We’re all people with the blood of the Burton family. Haha, young people love to joke. No matter what, we’re family.”

Alex sneered. “The blood of the Burton family? Unfortunately, you’re not worthy.” His eyes were cold and emotionless. “When my grandfather died and my parents died tragically, I returned to Bradford City to look for you. How did you treat me in the end?”

Alex’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Because you were afraid of being implicated, you got someone to chase me out when you heard that I was at the bus station in Bradford City. Then, you moved overnight to the coastal area and completely cut off my thoughts of looking for you.” Back then, he was only seven years old. The fear and confusion of losing his family made him subconsciously look for his family to seek protection. Unfortunately, his family avoided him and he had no relatives. Now, the tides had changed. Who would have thought that he would stumble and survive back then?

For some reason, Amelia felt a little sad as she listened to her father talk about the past calmly. It turned out that her father, who was taller than the door frame, used to be like her. He had no relatives or parents and was despised by others as a jinx.

Amelia pursed her lips and hugged Alex’s neck without a word. Alex felt Amelia’s soft body and stopped talking. Amelia’s soft hair poked his neck, making his heart soften.

Alex raised his eyebrows. Was his daughter feeling sorry for him? His heart warmed.

Alex had exposed what the Burton family had done back then. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say. They could only smile awkwardly. “This… There must be a misunderstanding.”

When everyone heard this, they finally understood. It turned out that the Old Master of the Burton family was cousins with Alex’s grandfather. Back then, when Old Master Burton found out that his cousin’s identity had been exposed, his family was taken revenge. He was afraid that he would implicate his family, so not only did he chase Alex away, but he also moved his entire family. When the Burton family first arrived in Buffalo, they didn’t say that. Every time they opened their mouths, they would say, “My brother is so pitiful”, “I wish I could replace my brother”, and so on… When they sent the invitation letter, they even said that Alex was the biological grandson of the Burton family, causing them, who didn’t know the details of the past, to really think that the Old Master of the Burton family was Alex’s biological grandfather.

Someone discussed in a low voice, “Nowadays, even biological brothers are not close, let alone cousins. There are so many seniorities between them. They can’t even be considered distant relatives.”

“Back then, the Burton family was afraid of being implicated, so they ran away so quickly. Later on, when they stole the credit, they weren’t slow. They didn’t look for Alex for more than ten years. When they heard that Alex had become a war god, they rushed to acknowledge him and called him grandson very intimately.”

“How shameless!”

“If Alex Burton is an ordinary person, do you think the Burton family will still acknowledge him?”

“That’s definitely not the case. Didn’t you see the Walton family bring Miss Mia over to acknowledge their relatives? They don’t even acknowledge her. The Burton family has eyes above their heads. What’s the use of the Walton family being rich? In the eyes of the Burton family, only those in politics are worthy of dealing with their family.”

Upon hearing everyone’s unconcealed discussion, the Old Madam of the Burton family felt her anger settle in her chest. Her face turned red from holding it in. The Old Master of the Burton family also blushed. It was as if the cloth that had always covered them had been ruthlessly pulled away, causing them to lose all their face.

Daniel reacted quickly and said, “Second Granduncle, it’s been hard on Cousin to come all the way here to attend the birthday banquet. Let’s go in first.” He looked at Alex and smiled gently. “Cousin, what do you think?”

Old Madam Burton hurriedly said, “That’s right, Alex.. Let’s go in first…”
