Chapter 109 The Wade Family
Banquet Tiana received a call the minute she left the Hilton residence. The caller was her younger cousin, Nicolette Wade. Why is she calling me today? She doesn’t talk to me much in the first place.
She ignored it, and the call eventually auto-declined. To her surprise, Nicolette called again. Tiana answered it reluctantly, “Yes, Nic. What’s up?” Nicolette was the youngest daughter of Tiana’s second uncle, Leroy Wade. She adored Elizabeth and stuck to the latter like glue. Consequently, Tiana disliked Nicolette. It did not help that Nicolette often referred to her as “the mistress’ child.” “Fels, it’s my birthday today. Why aren’t you here? Where’s my present?”
So she’s angling for a present. Tiana furrowed her brows in annoyance before replying flatly, “How old are you? Kids can’t celebrate their birthdays. Did Grandpa allow you to hold a party?”
Michael believed in the virtue of frugality. As such, younger members of the Wade family were not allowed to hold birthday parties. Tiana herself had never had-a birthday party, though she was already twenty-three. The thought filled Tiana with indignance. The socialites frequently gossiped about her, claiming that Michael disliked her.
Tiana’s protests fell on deaf ears because these socialites had attended a party held by Elizabeth for her eighteenth birthday. Nicolette merely insisted, “I’m eighteen, Fels. I’m an adult now. Anyway, be here as soon as possible!” With that, she hung up, and Tiana cursed out loud, “This brat! I can’t believe she-hung up on me. Where are her manners?” Then she received an address from Nicolette. Meanwhile, Elizabeth sat beside Nicolette at the latter’s party. Six years had passed, but her relatives hardly changed at all.
