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 meeting 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 something serious, concerning the future of the Burtons. What exactly is it?" chimed 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 me who asked you all to come. It was Steve."
