Chapter 68 Keep Humble
At night, the Dutt’s house was brightly lit and guests arrived one after another.
Anaya, dressed in a white dress, looked noble and elegant. She stood beside Adams and greeted
the guests who came and forth.
Today, many of Adams’ old friends came over one by one to greet Adams. Occasionally, they would talk to Anaya, and Anaya only responded politely and wouldn’t say too much.
Previously, when Joshua withdrew his investment, Anaya had come to these people.
Anaya could understand their difficulties, but it did not mean that she was willing to be close to
them.
There were some connections that only needed to be maintained on the surface.
It was not worth it to be too intimate,
When the Tarleton family entered, Anaya noticed that Yarden was also with them.
Catherine and David exchanged greetings with Adams, and the juniors gathered together.
“Why are you here with Aracely?” Anaya asked Yarden.
Aracely and Yarden had nothing to do with each other, and Anaya really couldn’t figure out how
they got so close
Yarden grinned. He was full of youthful vigor. “Of course, we agreed on it.”
Aracely explained, “That time when you went on a trending topic, I united with him and fought with a lot of righteous’ haters on the Internet. Then I found that we were quite compatible and often hung out together.”
Aracely raised her hand to put it on Yarden’s shoulder and Winston quietly came up and stood
between them.
Aracely mistakenly put her hand on Winston’s shoulder, but she did not think too much about it She took the opportunity to hold Winston’s hand and found a comfortable position. She lazily leaned on Winston
Aracely was so comfortable that she narrowed her eyes and continued to say to Anaya. “He was reported and had more than 30 accounts banned that day. Even a few more than me.”
Anaya could not help but laugh.
She thought that Aracely and Yarden were quite persistent
Anaya looked behind Yarden. Kim did not seem to come with them. “Where is Mr. Simpson?”
Yarden said, “My uncle has work to do. He has to go back to Canada first.”
“When are you leaving?”
“I shall wait until the start of the semester. There’s still more than half a month left.”
The three of them chatted for a while, and someone came in from the door.
Anaya raised her head and looked over.
They were Joshua and Robin.
The preparations for the birthday banquet were all done by Frank, and Anaya only glanced at the guest list roughly.
She did not expect that Frank would actually invite Joshua.
Adams had always disliked Joshua. When he saw Joshua, he stopped smiling and asked Frank, “Why did you invite Joshua?”
‘Although Anaya has already divorced Mr. Maltz, we still have to show some basic etiquette. I just sent an invitation letter to the Maltz family out of politeness. I didn’t expect that he would really come…”
Although he said that, Frank in fact wanted to watch a show.
Adams frowned slightly, not blaming Frank.
Joshua came over to greet Adams.
“Mr. Dutt, I heard that you were discharged from the hospital, so I especially came to visit you. I prepared a small gift for you. It is a token of my respect.”
He handed over a flat gift box. No one knew what was inside.
Judging from the size, Anaya remembered the “compensation” Joshua had given her a few nights ago
Was Joshua trying to give it to her in a different way because he couldn’t get her directly?
In front of everyone, Anaya didn’t want to embarrass Joshua, so she didn’t say anything. She planned to wait for all the guests to leave before letting Adams return the gift.
As she was thinking, she heard Adams say, “I can’t bear to accept the Maltz family’s gift. Mr. Maltz,
you should take it back
Adams was traditional and old-fashioned.
But if it was related to his granddaughter, he wouldn’t care about so much courtesy, integrity, and
Adams snorted and lowered his voice, “It was indeed quite festive, but now that you‘re here, it
Adams continued to say, “Mr. Maltz, since you’re already here, it’s not good for me to chase you out, but please stay away from Anaya and me. Don’t talk to us. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to hold it in and really throw you out.”
Joshua thought, do they really think that I can‘t do anything to them?
How dare they both say things like that to me?
I have already condescended to lower my head, but they actually did not accept it!
Although I have done something wrong, Anaya has also separated me and Lexie for a whole year. We‘re even now. I don‘t owe her anything at all!
Joshua walked away with a sullen face, and Robin chased after him. “Joshua, what did you say to Mr. Dutt? You haven’t sent this out yet…”
Joshua threw the gift box containing the property ownership certificate and contract to Robin, “He and Anaya are both unwilling to take it, so why should I keep humble?”
He did not expect that Adams would not even accept the birthday gift.
You did the wrong thing first. What are you angry about?”
Adams’ precious granddaughter was bullied. If it were him, Robin would have killed Lexie and
