Chapter: 3240

"Kid, aren't you a bit too old to still be clinging to your mom like this? Haven't you grown up yet?" Alberto smiled warmly, his gaze as soft as a spring breeze, but his voice had a subtly condescending tone, treating Joey as if he were just a naive little boy.

He made it clear that Joey didn't matter to him at all.

Hearing this, Joey gritted his teeth. He loathed being treated as a child and not receiving the respect he felt he deserved.

"You're the one who hasn't grown up. Neither has your family." Jalen glared at Alberto, his frustration with the man reaching a boiling point.

This old man might appear gentlemanly, but to Joey, he was nothing more than a cunning fox putting on a show for his mother.
