Daisy walked up to her and looked at her outfit. She reached out and grabbed her hand and put the jade bracelet she took off her own hand on her hand. Arya was a little confused, "Mom..."
Daisy held her hand and patted it. "This was given to me by my mother-in-law when I married into the Jones Family. Now I'll give it to you."
"But..."
Arya felt that she couldn't take it and wanted to give it back. Daisy stopped her, "Just take it."
Arya looked down at the jade bracelet on her wrist and gave a soft okay.
After leaving the hospital and sitting in the car, Arya reached out to touch the jade bracelet. Because Daisy had taken it off from her own hand, it seemed to be still warm by her body temperature. She knew in her heart that Daisy was slowly accepting her.
She couldn't help but raise a smile.
Orlando drove the car and soon arrived at the venue of the XWX Group's anniversary party. It was held on a large cruise ship, and rows of luxury cars were parked at the dock.
The car stopped and Arya came out. Orlando came down and walked to her side. He raised his arm and motioned for her to hold his arm.
Arya glanced at him and held his arm. Orlando walked to the entrance and handed the invitation.
The receptionist was dressed in a white uniform and gestured to them, "Please come in."
There were a lot of people here today, all of them were not ordinary people. Because of Mr. Gates's relationship, there were also many people in the officialdom to support Rufus.
As soon as Arya stepped on the deck, Jacob walked towards her and whispered, "The Robinson brothers have arrived."
Arya bowed her head slightly to show that she understood.
Terrence, who was talking to Rufus, glanced at them and snorted coldly.
Rufus raised his eyebrows. "Do you know her?"
Terrence lowered his voice. "This is whom I told you about. Xavier's wife, the K&T Inc's..."
Before Terrence could finish his sentence, Rufus walked over and looked her up and down. Was this the woman Xavier was hiding?
Rufus stared at Arya's face for a few seconds and he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her, "Have we met before?"
Arya had no expression, "No."
Orlando lowered his head and said to Arya, "This is Rufus."
Arya looked at him.
"Xavier is hiding so deep that I don't even know." Rufus reached out his hand. "Nice to meet you."
Arya smiled, "Nice to meet you too."
But she didn't reach out her hand.
Rufus was not embarrassed and naturally withdrew his hand. "I was very sad to hear about Mr. Jones. You may not know that my relationship with Mr. Jones is quite close."
Arya's expression remained calm, "Really?"
Rufus opened his eyes, "Didn't he tell you?"
Arya remained silent.
Rufus smiled, "Then that's his fault. He didn't even introduce me to you."
"He only introduced his friends to me, it's just you were not one of them." Arya said with hidden messages.
Rufus paused and smiled, "I like your personality."
He took two glasses of wine from the waiter's tray and handed one to Arya.
Arya didn't take it, "Sorry, I can't drink."
