Chapter 110 The Wade Family Banquet 2
Nicolette refused to let Celine get away with her snide comment. I invited Lizzy to my party, and I won’t let anyone bully her.
Nicolette asked, “Aunt Celine, when is your daughter coming? Did she claim she was busy because she didn’t want to give me a present?” She changed the conversation topic to divert attention from Elizabeth’s affairs.
She had been too young to understand what had happened back then. Over the years, she pieced things together from gossip by the other Wade family members. Nicolette learned the Ashtons kicked Elizabeth out of the house over her teenage pregnancy. Her elder cousin went missing shortly after that. Nicolette would have remained in the dark if her mother had not mentioned Elizabeth’s return. She and Francine tracked Elizabeth down and invited her to the party. Nicolette had been ecstatic to see Elizabeth again. She missed the latter dearly over the years.
Meanwhile, Celine eyed her husband, whose displeasure was palpable. She had spent years hadmouthing Elizabeth, ensuring his support for her and Tiana. Richard firmly believed that Elizabeth was a shame to him and the Wade family. He would never help her out of such an awkward situation.
Celine replied to Nicolette, “Tia went to her boyfriend’s place. She’ll be here after their dinner.” She grinned from ear to ear, looking like the cat that ate the canary.
Her response piqued the Wade family’s curiosity. “Tia has a boyfriend? That’s fast.” “Weren’t we talking about shortlisting some potential in-laws for Tia? How did things progress so quickly?”
Elizabeth’s third aunt, Christina Woods, chimed in, “Who is he? Why didn’t she bring him over to visit us? We should help Tia to vet this man.” “Yeah! Does he come from a rich family? If he’s from an average background, it would be prudent to give her relationship a second thought.”
