All of a sudden, Faye’s body trembled and her gaze as she stared at Sophia was filled with terror. Why does Sophia know about me and Richard? It was as if her whole body stiffened and she didn’t dare to say another word.
When Sophia loosened her grip on her, Faye was in a daze and she guiltily glanced over at Xyla and Richard. Then, her expression instantly changed and with a smile, she said, “Now that it has come to this, if we ruin the banquet right now, the money that we spent would be wasted. If there is anything else to discuss, let’s talk about it after the banquet.”
I can’t let Xyla find out about me and Richard now! Xyla is the only child of the Huff Family. After Richard married her, he has part ownership of everything that the Huff Family owns and is slowly taking over the Huff Family’s businesses right now. I can’t let a swindler like Sophia ruin our plan at such an important stage!
Meanwhile, when Sophia held Faye in her arms and whispered to her ear, Faye’s deep and charming gaze passed over the crowd and focused on Richard, who stood in the corner of the room. He had not said a single word since the beginning.
All of a sudden, Richard felt his phone vibrate. He silently pulled it out of his pocket and saw that Sophia had sent him two screenshots of a video on Messenger. They were screenshots of what he and Faye did in Ido’s toilet the other day. I was right…
Instantly, the veins on Richard’s face bulged. If Sophia exposes us now, she’ll ruin my relationship with Xyla and I’m sure the Huff Family won’t let me go easily. I haven’t completely gained ownership over all of the Huff Family’s fortune yet and I can’t let all my previous effort go to waste! With that, Richard gave Faye a signal and the two immediately knew what they had to do.
Just then, they heard a knock at the door. A man entered and lowered his voice as he said, “The Fletcher Family has arrived and gave gifts to congratulate Sophia. Mr. Edwards and Miss Edwards, please hurry out and greet them!”
“The Fletcher Family?” Joe asked in surprise. “Which Fletcher Family?”
The man hurriedly replied, “The commanding general, Joel Fletcher, has personally come to hand you some gifts!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They never thought Joel would personally attend the banquet! When Sophia heard this, she fluffed her hair with her fingers and tidied her clothes as she stood up and said, “Dad, why did you ask such a strange question?
Of course it’s the founding father Mark Fletcher’s family. Who else in Bayside City would dare to take the Fletcher Family name? These are guests that I’ve invited so I’ll be going to greet them now. All of you can continue the discussion.”
As she spoke, she walked out the room and left Joe and the rest of the people in the room in a daze. I can’t believe this b*tch managed to invite the Fletcher Family!
There were several elders of the Edwards family and the daughter of the Mitchell family, Natasha, who attended the banquet. Joe already thought that was grand enough and never in a million years did he expect Joel from the Mitchell family to appear!
Joe didn’t even have a way to invite many of the guests that Sophia invited! Moreover, all the guests that Sophia invited had attended! Those from the Fletcher Family, the Edwards Family, the Winston Family, the West Family…
Joe made a split second decision and announced to the rest of the people in the room, “If there’s anything else to discuss, we’ll talk about it after the banquet.”
With that, he walked out of the room in a rush. As soon as he left, three elders of the Edwards family that hardly showed their faces immediately ran up to him and surrounded him.
They held onto Joe’s hand excitedly and said, “Oh, I didn’t know that you could manage to invite a precious guest like Linus Michel. You should’ve told us earlier. I would’ve asked the family head to personally attend this banquet!”
Joe was shocked. Back when he begged the three elders to attend the banquet, he almost fell onto his knees but at that moment, they were telling him that they should’ve invited the family head. One of the elders pointed at the corners of the banquet and said, “Look around.”
“That’s Joel, the young master of the Fletcher family! And that’s Natasha, the young lady of the Mitchell family!” “No, the most reputable person is the man sitting at the VIP table. Do you know who that is? He’s the second most powerful man of the Michel Family from Eastern Europe—Linus Michel!
“Let go of me! I want to expose that b*tch’s lies and let everyone know the truth!” Why should I let that b*tch enjoy the status of being the second daughter of the Edwards family?
“No! I won’t give up!” That sl*t is born to have a rotten life but now she’s becoming the daughter of the Edwards family. She even got 5% of the shares! Everyone was fooled by her! That b*tch! She’s such a sl*t! I will never allow her to change her destiny!
