Chapter 971: Chater 979

Helen engaged in playful behavior, but she hesitated to avoid causing alarm to the Crawford family stationed at the entrance on the opposite side. Consequently, she refrained from making excessive movements.

Instead, she decided to continue talking to establish her connection to the Crawford family. She claimed to be a relative, specifically the grandmother of one of the young ladies in the Crawford family.

To validate her statement, she suggested seeking confirmation from someone else.

When asked for her invitation card, Helen explained that she had accidentally dropped it. Similarly, when requested her phone number, she claimed to be an elderly person unfamiliar with operating phones.

Witnessing Helen being pushed and about to fall, Blair promptly intervened and supported her, inquiring about the situation.

The hostess expressed her concern, stating, “This person wants to enter, and we allowed her, but she refuses to cooperate.”

In a gentle and persuasive tone, Blair addressed the situation, saying, “It’s not easy for an elderly person. If you have something to say, please take your time and speak calmly. There’s no need to push people.”

Although Blair’s appearance may not have been particularly attractive, he possessed a tall and slender frame, dressed impeccably, exuded an impressive demeanor, and spoke with remarkable gentleness and politeness. Consequently, a few individuals were drawn to him and agreed with his sentiments.

“Yes, you’re right. It’s not easy when one grows old. Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding.”

“She doesn’t seem like she’s lying, and she has been speaking here for quite some time. There must be a reason.”

“Young lady, don’t be so harsh on the elderly!”

Miss Etiquette intervened, feeling a sense of injustice.

Was it not challenging for her as well?

Her responsibility entailed verifying invitations and preventing unrelated individuals from gaining entry.

However, the man’s remark shifted the blame onto her, as if she had done something wrong, despite his kindness towards the elderly man. Who could understand such a sentiment?

Miss Etiquette bit her lip and stated, “During the work arrangement meeting this morning, the Crawford family explicitly stated that people without an invitation would not be allowed inside.”

Blair calmly responded, “I understand your work, but I have observed that the old man has been explaining his situation here, and he even mentioned that he can contact the Crawford family for verification. It doesn’t seem like he’s lying.”

“The attire worn by the old man consists of high-end garments, and his shoulder bag is a limited-edition piece from Hermes. Moreover, the necklace he’s wearing is made of emerald agate. These are not possessions that ordinary people would have.”

Blair’s gentle smile persisted as he patiently expressed his viewpoint. With a quick glance, he was able to discern the details of Helen’s outfit. Although it appeared a bit outdated, it still held significant value.

Eventually, Blair added, “If it’s a lie, why don’t we ask someone from the Crawford family to verify it?

What do you think?”

Miss Etiquette, in awe of Blair’s humble and polite demeanor, found herself momentarily speechless.

Helen’s expression underwent a slight change.

Miss Etiquette muttered, “But I don’t dare to contact the Crawford family. I want you to make the call.”

She regarded the Crawford family as authorities, and the idea of personally reaching out to them was intimidating. If anyone called for her manager, she would feel fearful.

Helen swiftly interjected, “It’s alright, there’s no need to call them. The Crawford family is very busy today. Just call my granddaughter, Hannah!”

Blair felt a twinge of curiosity, but it made sense when he considered it. The elderly often feared inconveniencing others. He could not help but think of his mother, who similarly avoided troubling others. Sometimes, when she returned from the market and could not find transportation, she would rather walk several miles than ask her nephew to pick her up.

This sense of empathy softened Blair’s heart.

He stated, “Alright, here’s my invitation. I’ll accompany this old man inside, and then I’ll confirm with the Crawford family whether he is a relative.”

Blair handed over his invitation to Miss Etiquette.

“I will take full responsibility for this matter. If there are any issues, please contact me. My name is Blair, and I am Mrs. Crawford’s wedding dress designer.”

Miss Etiquette was secretly astonished. The designer of the 80-million-dollar wedding dress?

Everyone present also glanced in surprise. Mrs. Crawford’s wedding dress was renowned, so if this person was indeed her designer, there shouldn’t be any problems.

The hostess had no choice but to reluctantly say, “Well… please come in…”

After all, this person claimed responsibility, and continuing to stop Helen would only reflect poorly on the hostess herself. Moreover, the valuable clothing and accessories Helen wore seemed unlikely to belong to a mere influencer trying to sneak in.

Helen triumphantly entered the venue as she desired.

In her heart, she praised Blair incessantly.

What a nice guy!

What a gullible fool! It’s so easy to trick him!

Unaware of Helen’s thoughts, Blair kindly asked, “Sir, let me take you to the Crawford family.”

Helen quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, they are all busy!”

Blair paused, momentarily taken aback.

Worried that Blair would grow suspicious, Helen sighed and fabricated a story, “I am Liam’s mother-in-

law. There are two young ladies in the Crawford family, one of whom is my granddaughter. You know her, right?”

Blair was not aware of the specific details, but he did know that Mr. Crawford’s second son had two children. However, he had mistakenly confused Helen with Lilly, the child he met earlier.

He had visited the Crawford family twice, and during his second visit, he had only met the eight sons of the family. Apart from Lisa, he had never seen another wife.

Recognizing that wealthy families often concealed secrets, Blair refrained from prying out of respect.

Blair nodded, hearing Helen sigh and continue, “My daughter divorced the second son of the Crawford family. She made a mistake and left on her own… but Hannah stayed behind.”

“Every time I want to visit my granddaughter, I fear that it will anger the Crawford family. After all, it was my daughter who first made the wrong choices…”
