After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755

Mr. Mcguire smiled faintly, "Welcome, dear in-laws. Please come in. We're sorry for not greeting you properly."

Geoff and Mrs. Howlett walked over hand in hand, just like Adriel, and presented their gifts.

Mr. Mcguire felt a bit more at ease. Carolyn, the eldest daughter of the Howlett family, was the daughter-in-law of the Mcguire family. Logically and emotionally, with such a close relationship between the two families, the Howlett family would not likely go to the Wright family's banquet.

Carolyn also approached Katie, saying, "Katie, this is a gift from your me."

She directly handed over the key to a brand-new Maserati, saying, "It's the latest model, the one you've always wanted."

"Wow, my dear sister-in-law, I love you so much!" Katie exclaimed with excitement, hugging the car key and pouncing towards Carolyn.

Kareem, seeing Carolyn's generosity, had a slightly dim look in his eyes.

"Carolyn, weren't you supposed to be setting up the venue inside? When did you slip out?"

Carolyn seemed to carry herself with a perpetual air of a professional woman. "I snuck out secretly to surprise Katie."

"Alright, let's not stand around here. Everyone, let's go inside," Weston loved it when people spoiled his youngest daughter. As long as she was happy, everything was fine.

He looked at Carolyn with a very satisfied expression in his eyes.

"In-law, sorry, but Jasper is over at the Wright family's banquet, so we have to join them," Geoff stepped forward, standing in front of Weston with a slightly apologetic smile on his face.

Weston was momentarily stunned and looked incredulous. "What did you say?"

They were family!

The Howlett family was not showing the Mcguire family respect by going to the Wright family's banquet.

This was a blatant humiliation.

In Urgford, Mr. Mcguire had a lot of influence, and the Mcguire Group was at least on par with the Howlett family. It was rare for Mr. Mcguire to be treated this way in Urgford, and the people not giving him respect were all influential individuals. If Mr. Mcguire had a public outburst right there, he would lose face and his reputation would be damaged.

Mrs. Howlett glanced at Carolyn and waved her over, saying, "Carolyn, come with Mom to the Wright family's banquet. My idol is over there, and I'll introduce him to you later. Your younger brother is there too. We haven't had a family reunion dinner in ages, thanks to both the Wright and Mcguire families for bringing us all together."

Mrs. Howlett's words were skillfully framed. She smiled gracefully, "Dear in-law, you see, my son Jasper has a stubborn temper, you know. He flatly refuses to come back, and it's been so many years... It's a rare opportunity for our family to gather for a meal."

This left Mr. Mcguire with no way to refuse. If he prevented them from going, it would be akin to keeping them from a family reunion. After all, Jasper, who hadn't returned to Urgford for years, was well-known.

But letting them go would be a blow to his pride. Having his in-laws and even his daughter-in-law, Carolyn, head to the Wright family was an undeniable blow to his face.

He couldn't even explain this situation properly. Mrs. Howlett had skillfully put him in a difficult position.

Katie, looking bewildered, observed this scene. If she had merely felt humiliated before, she was now feeling sad and miserable. "Uncle Howlett, Aunt Howlett, aren't you coming to my party? Are you not having any of the cake?"

She then turned to Carolyn. "Sister-in-law, are you going to the Wright family's banquet too? I thought you were the one who spoils me the most."

Carolyn was feeling torn between her own family and her husband's family. It was a difficult situation.

Alondra and Paula, not much different from Katie, watched as more and more people went to the Wright family's banquet. Each of them had impressive backgrounds, and some were rarely seen at such gatherings.

"What's going on?" Alondra looked as if she'd seen a ghost. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Was Cody really capable of attracting so many people? It seemed impossible.

Now, the Wright family's Banquet had become an event where nearly all of Urgford's upper echelons were present. Alondra and Paula were so overwhelmed by the excitement that they couldn't find words to express their feelings.

Alondra felt deeply embarrassed, especially with Sabrina by her side. She could sense the plain mockery all around her.

"Blake! Blake is here!"

Paula suddenly gripped Alondra's hand tightly, her voice almost uncontrollably escaping her lips, "How did he get here?"

Alondra was taken aback and looked outside. She saw a young and handsome man in a discreet black suit. His aura of sophistication was undeniable.

The Rees family was the deepest-rooted family in Urgford. Moreover, their offspring were exceptional, and Blake was one of their most outstanding talents.

The Rees family remained highly discreet, never participating in social events or gatherings. However, their influence extended far beyond Urgford and had deep connections and ties in Aettosa.

So when Sabrina saw Blake, her expression changed. Others might not be aware, but Sabrina, being the daughter of Aettosa's Foreign Minister Lucille, knew how powerful the Rees family was in Aettosa. Blake's reputation in Urgford was legendary, known for turning things into gold. His top-notch analytical skills in the financial sector attracted the attention of numerous industry giants, all seeking to win him over. After all, the kind of cold, calculating insight that could turn investments into gold was a rare gift.

Despite his fame, Blake remained enigmatic, seldom appearing in public.
