Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Then I’ll’Sleep On The Floor

Gilderoy said in a low voice, “Master, you’re only going to be 80 years old next year.”

Samuel said, “There’s a reason our ancestors celebrate their birthdays early.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately,” Gilderoy immediately said.

Albert and Christopher looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

They thought that a birthday celebration would be a good thing, as that would mean gift presentations and showcase of talents.

When the time came, they would invite all of Jadeborough’s reporter friends over for a live broadcast. Annalise was neither rich nor talented. She would be a disgrace to Julian.

If Julian lost face, his popularity in Jadeborough would decrease. At that time, if they secretly fanned the flames, some expiring contracts might not be renewed.

Julian was currently the general manager of Parks Group, acting as president.

Half a year ago, the important figures in their family sat down for a meeting. Samuel said that Julian had been the general manager of Parks Group for two years. His performance was for all to see, and Samuel wanted to push Julian directly to the president’s position.

The act faced opposition from the families of Samuel’s brothers. Their reason was that Julian had done well in the first two years because of the good market. Now that the global economy was affected, if he could do well within the year, they would approve Julian and let him be the Parks Group’s president.

They figured that as long as Annalise would bring shame to Julian in Samuel’s banquet, the collaborators would definitely consider carefully whether to renew their contracts. After all, if the wife of a group leader was useless, it meant that the ship could sink at any time.

Albert immediately said, “Yes, Samuel, the birthday banquet should indeed be held this year.”

Christopher added, “That’s right. Our family hasn’t been so lively for a long time. This time, we have to make it a big one.”

Samuel looked at Julian and Alexander. “What do you think?”

Alexander smiled and said, “Grandpa’s 80th birthday celebration should be grand.”

Julian said, “I’ll go with Gilderoy tomorrow to make the arrangements.”

Albert and Christopher immediately said, “We’ll also let Timothy and Jaime come along.”

Albert asked again, “Samuel, what day of the week would it be?”

Samuel suddenly shouted, “Get lost!”

Albert was stunned.

Christopher immediately pulled him back. “Samuel’s birthday is at 10th of July. It happens to be next Saturday.”

Albert apologized awkwardly. “Samuel, look at me. I’m old and getting senile. I guess I got your birthday mixed up or something. Please don’t hold it against me. Oh, right, I also promised to buy toys for my great grandson. I have to go pick it up now. Goodbye, Samuell

Christopher also found an excuse to leave.

At their age, they didn’t care much about food anymore, but they were very obsessed with power and status. They always felt that they didn’t have much life left to live at their age. They had to seek benefits for their descendants.

After the two old men left, Julian and the others soon finished eating.

Samuel said, “You guys rushed over early in the morning. It’s been hard on you. Go and rest.”

“Thank you, grandpa!” Abigail immediately smiled and tried to make her presence known.

“Thank you, grandpa!” Annalise sounded much calmer.

Samuel’s teachings were stili vivid in her mind. It did not matter what happened in private. When there were outsiders present, she had to act distant. She did not want to let Samuel down for protecting her.

Everyone went to rest.

The Parks Residence complex was very big. Alexander lived in a house next door with his parents.

Samuel and Julian lived in the house where they were eating at the moment.
