Chapter 139
At the banquet, many guests from Macloria had come knowing that Rebecca – now formally known as Stacey Carter – and her two young children were part of the Edwards family. As they mingled and enjoyed the festivities, a realization dawned upon them – they had not seen any members of the Edwards Carily. Curious and somewhat concerned, they scanned the room, searching for familiar faces associated with the Edwards family.
Pondering over their activities for the past two days, which included flying and staying at hotels, they wondered, “Why haven’t we seen the Edwards family at all during this event? Why would the Edwards family not attend, especially when their daughter–in–law is from a distinguished family like the Caster faully?”
Among those unaware of the underlying tensions, confusion reigned Meanwhile, those in the know couldn’t help but chuckle at the situation. One of the guests couldn’t contain his amusement and laughed out loud, drawing curious glances
“Yohannes, what are you laughing at? It’s kind of creepy, remarked one of his friends, puzzled by his reaction.
With a smirk. Yohannes Larson raised his glass, took a sip, and teased, “Do you want to know why neither the Edwards family nor the Mitchell family showed up?”
“Come to think of it, we haven’t seen the Edwards or Mitchell families ever since we got here. Where are they? Darren Wilkins mused. Now intrigued by the mystery of their absence, be pressed, “Why didn’t they come!”
Yohannes exchanged a knowing look with Darren and chuckled softly. He leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, “It’s because they’ve practically sabotaged themselves with their anties”
Darren’s eyes widened with curiosity, prompting her to ask eagerly, “How did they manage that?”
Yohannes, ensuring they were not overheard, pulled Darren aside and after ensuring his loyalty with potential benefits from a cooperation project, divulged the juicy details. Darren was astounded by the revelations, his eyes widening with each word “So Rebecca- sorry, I mean Stacey is no longer tied to the Edwards family, correct?” he confirmed with Yohannes, his eyes sparkling with intrigue.
Yohannes nodded, his expression one of mischief as he revealed “Exactly. Why else would her children carry the Carter family name exclusively? Haven’t you heard? Lillian and Kevin are officially registered under the Carter family, and they have nothing to do with the Edwards family now.
Darren, intrigued, pondered the implications, They’re divorced. So, does that mean Ms. Carter is single now? There won’t be a problem if I ask my son to pursue her now, will there?”
Yohannes was taken aback by Darren’s forwardness. ‘Wait, we can do that?‘ he pondered, bewildered by the latter’s matchmaking plans. As he looked at Darren, Yohannes thought about his married son and then glanced back at Stacey on the stage, feeling like his family had missed out on a fortune.
However, the thought struck him that though his son was married, he had a nephew who was eligible. Perhaps, if my nephew pursued Ms. Carter and succeeded, our families could still be united in some way! Yohannes mused. Mulling over this idea, he felt as if a clear path had been laid out before him. He raised his glass to Darren, proposing, “That’s a great idea!” though Darren remained skeptical.
Darren stared at Yohannes, musing, “Why do I feel like there’s something off about his smile? Is he plotting something?
Yohannes and Darren were merely representatives of a broader sentiment that spread through the crowd at the banquet Upon hearing the Carter family’s declaration that not only their daughter but also her children were granted inheritance rights, many attendees began to entertain similar notions.
The banquet was set to be an all–day affair, offering everyone the opportunity to indulge in an array of foods and beverages to their heart’s content. Additionally, a special lounge had been prepared upstairs, featuring various entertainment options for those desiring a break from the main festivities. In the main hall, professional performances were scheduled throughout the day to enhance the celebratory atmosphere. Lillian and Kevin, particularly fond of such displays, positioned themselves up front. Their young faces lit up with wonder, and they were so captivated by the performances that they seemed glued to
