A Trust-fund Baby novel Chapter 58

After entering the banquet hall, Diana walked up to Old Lady Shaw and greeted respectfully, "Happy birthday grandma, I wish you good health and all the best..."

After seeing Diana, Old Lady Shaw nodded and said, “Find a place to sit..." Old Lady Shaw just looked through Diana, and her attitude was completely indifferent.

Diana's second elder uncle Lennox scolded Diana, "Diana, What's the matter with you? Why are you here so late? Don't you know that today is your grandma's 70th birthday?"

Diana said apologetically, "Sorry, I just came back from SKY City today, and I packed my luggage for a long time..."

Lennox sneered, "Hmm, it seems that in your heart, your packing is more important than your grandma's birthday..."

Seeing Lennox’s constant criticism of Diana, Sally couldn’t help but smirked and replied, “Brother Lennox, how can we compare to you? Your family has a big business, and you are the second fiddle of Shaw’s company. But we are in a bad situation. After Mentog was dead, who cared about us?"

As soon as Sally finished speaking, Old Lady Shaw suddenly snorted, "Huh, Sally, you mean to imply that I'm partial and I'm doing something wrong, right?"

Sally sneered and pinched her nails, then said in an ironic tone, "Huh, Mom, how can I dare to speak ill of you? When Mentog was alive, I didn't dare to do that, let alone that he was dead. I am an outsider, who cares if we live or die..."

Old Lady Shaw narrowed her eyes. Lennox slapped on the table, “Sally! How can you talk to mom like that? If you don't want to attend mom's birthday banquet, don't come here, you can go now! "

Sally sneered, "Heh, I'm leaving now! My son-in-law, Judson, was said to be an outsider and was stopped outside by the Shaw Family. I am also an outsider, so I won't be embarrassed here anymore. I'd better be a little self-conscious... "

Sally left after speaking. Sally was a typical snob, who tended to be a follower of the rich and powerful. But despite her snobbery, she was not really stupid. Although Judson told her that he had no money, Judson still had a relationship with the dignitaries in society. He was friends with Bruce, president of Ray Group, and he also knew the boss of “Yanis” this afternoon. So even if Sally offended the Shaw Family now, she didn't panic at all.

Diana was stunned when she watched Sally contradict the others. Is this Sally she knew? Wasn't Sally meek and subservient in front of the Shaw Family before? And why did she defend Judson so much now? But despite doubts, Diana felt quite comfortable seeing Sally defending Judson now.

"Well, Sally, we are all a family, why are you making trouble like this? Today is Mom's birthday, you and Diana go and sit down..." Diana’s uncle Dexter tried to ease the atmosphere.

Dexter then spoke to Diana, "Diana, I heard that you sold your company. What are you going to do next?"

Diana hesitated and said to Old Lady Shaw, "Grandma, I... can I go back to work in Shaw's company?"

Old Lady Shaw frowned, "Diana, the company's current economic situation is not very good now. I welcome you back to work, but now the company does not have a suitable job position for you, and there are no vacancies for the management post. Grandma can't let you be a small employee, right?"

When Diana heard this, her eyes dimmed, and then she smiled and said, "Well, it's okay, thank you grandma, I... I will find a job by myself..."
