Chapter 95 

Chapter 95 

Haley’s parents were too embarrassed to stay, so they took Haley and were about to leave

However, Haley was adamant about staying

In the end, Haley’s parents had no choice but to leave in embarrassment

Haley calmed down and went back into the hall

She thought, As long as Alex doesn’t realizethat the chain belongs to Ellie, I will remain his fiancée. No one is more qualified to stay here than me

While Haley was feeling uneasy, Layton came rushing in. Haley, has Alex been in touch with you?” 

Haley looked annoyed. If I knew where he is, would I still be here?” 

You can’t even keep track of your man. How dare you show up here?Layton scoffed as he turned to Ellie

What?shouted Haley

She almost lost control because of Layton’s provocation

yton pulled Ellie to a quiet corner and said, Ellie, can you give Alex a call?” 

Without a second thought, Ellie shook her head in refusal

67

Layton said, Ellie, this is your banquet, and Alex is the only heir of the Warren family, but he’s gone missing. You’ve heard how bad the gossip sounds.” 

Layton continued, If he’s not here, how will you take the family photo later? What will others think?” 

Ellie smirked and said after a pause, I don’t care.” 

She’d barely keeping herself together; she didn’t have time to worry about anything else

She actually hoped Alex wouldn’t show up tonight, so the adoption process could go smoothly. Just then, Nancy came over. Seeing Layton’s expression, she knew that Alex hadn’t been found. Nancy turned to Evan, the butler, and asked, Is there any news from the people who went out?” 

Evan replied, They haven’t reported back yet.” 

Nancy said, We can’t wait for Alex any longer. Let’s stick to the schedule.” 

At 8:30 p.m., the most important part of the banquet began

Carlos sat in the middle of the living room, and to his lower left seated Alex’s parents, along with several other elders of the Warren family

On the lower right of Carlos was Aaron, followed by the elders of the four prominent families in Jaslands

Chapter 95 

Everyone else was standing in the hall

Guided by the host, Ellie followed Evan and came up to Carlos

Ellie knelt beside Carlos, took the wine that Evan handed her, and greeted, Grandpa.” 

Previously calling Carlos Mr. Warrenbefore to Grandpanow, the slight change made Ellie’s eyes turn a bit red. I wish you all the best, with long life and happiness.” 

How nice it is!replied Carlos

In front of everyone, Carlos gave Ellie an envelope. Sweetie, keep it safe.” 

Ellie took it with both hands. Thank you, Grandpa.” 

Passing the envelope to Evan, Ellie was helped up by a servant.. 

Following the procedure, Evan opened the envelope and informed all the guests by saying, Mr. Carlos Warren’s gift to his adopted granddaughter is 2% of the original shares of Warren Capital.” 

Evan’s announcement exploded like thunder above everyone’s heads

Gasps echoed in the living room, mingled with the crowd’s voices of disbelief

The Warren Capital worth trillions of dollars, so it was easy to imagine the value of 2% of the original shares

Layton, Ellie’s struck gold.Lacey grabbed Layton’s arm, more thrilled than Ellie

Layton grimaced in pain. They’re not yours. Why are you so excited?” 

Haley, at the back of the crowd, widened her eyes in disbelief

She initially thought Carlos would only give Ellie some money as a greeting gift, but he actually gave Ellie a whole two percent shares of the Warren Capital just like that

Ellie looked at Aaron, who gave her a reassuring smile

Ellie took a deep breath, trying her best to block out the negative voices around her

The reason she was determined to be adopted by the Warren family was to protect herself

The Warren family had taken care of Ellie for over ten years. They supported her and Aaron through college. She hadn’t paid them back at all, so she definitely couldn’t really accept those shares

Ms. Thompson, please serve wine to your adopted parents,Evan quietly reminded her from the side

Ellie served wine to Alex’s parents one by one and addressed them as Dadand Mom

Nancy was grinning from ear to ear and quickly helped Ellie up. From now on, you are an adopted daughter of the Warren parents would.family, and we will take care of you just like your real 

After Nancy finished speaking, Todd presented Ellie with a document in front of everyone

Ellie took it with both hands. Thank you, Dad and Mom.

Chapter 95 

The document was passed to Evan, who routinely opened it

Amidst everyone’s anticipation, Evan announced the gift. The welcome gift from Mr. and Mrs. Warren is” 

Evan paused for a moment, looking at the people. 8% of the Warren Capital’s shares.” 

As Evan’s words ended, the room abruptly fell into an eerie silence

A few seconds later, a wave of shock swept through the crowd

One said, That’s 10% of the Warren Capital’s shares in total. How is that possible?” 

67%

Another said, Unbelievable. You must know that Mrs. Warren only holds thirteen percent of the shares after she has been part of the family for over thirty years.” 

Someone said, They gave so much for adopting her as their daughter. Could there be some hidden motive?” 

One claimed, I heard from Ms. Haley Owens that she once caught Alex and that girl going into a hotel room in Ameria. Could she be pregnant?”
