It was only a few days into winter vacation when the Summers Family received an invitation: Dylan Summersâ superiorâs daughter was getting engaged to the son of an energy company boss.
Yolanda Summers would not miss such a prime opportunity for social exchange.
However, Dylan was a little worried. Would people say he was biased if he only took Yolanda?
In the past, it wouldnât have mattered, since not many people knew that the Summers Family had an adopted daughter. But now, Purple had started attending Grey International School and made friends with students from wealthy families. If Purple didnât attend the event, people would definitely notice.
Yolanda was very unhappy, saying, âDad, you have to think it through. With Purpleâs discreditable background, wonât taking her to the banquet make us a laughingstock?!â
Either taking her out and being laughed at, or leaving her behind and being gossiped about.
Dylan was deeply troubled.
Why was it always so difficult when it came to his adopted daughter?
The engagement invitation was also sent to the Graves Residence.
Surprisingly, the groom-to-be was Gavin Gravesâ cousin.
They were cousins, but their relationship was distant. Master Graves had many wives, resulting in a large number of distant relatives. The abundance of relatives made them less valued.
For such an engagement banquet, it would be a favor if Gavin attended in order to make the event more lively. No one would blame him if he didnât go â the future family head of the Graves Family was busy with important matters. If he had to attend every cousinâs engagement banquet, he wouldnât have any time for actual work.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, Bella Foster felt it was a pity, as she had been waiting for such an opportunity. To attend a banquet, Gavin needed a female companion, and she believed he would be willing to bring her if she pleaded a little. She needed a chance like this to be seen together with Gavin â and for people to mistake her as Gavinâs woman.
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
But if Gavin didnât go, she would have to keep waiting. After the new year, many families would be hosting parties, and even if Gavin only attended one, she would seize the opportunity.
Gavin asked Gerald, who was sitting next to him, âAre you going tomorrow?â
Second Young Master Graves was playing with his phone, head down, and casually said, âMe? If I go, wouldnât I steal the spotlight from others?â
Gavin smiled at this, praising his younger brother for a rare moment of self- awareness: âAt least you know yourself.â
With Geraldâs bad reputation, if he actually attended the engagement banquet, the guests would likely focus on him, overshadowing the newly engaged couple.
Gavin instructed Lester Williams, âYou can attend on my behalf tomorrow and bring a gift.â
Lester nodded, then asked, âYoung master, the Summers Family may also attend the engagement banquet tomorrow. If we encounter Ms. Summers, should I tell her about the information from before?â
Ms. Summers!
When Bella heard these three words, she immediately looked at Gavinâs face.
She was extremely sensitive to Purpleâs existence!
After pondering for a moment, Gavin said, âThereâs no need, Iâll talk to her in person another day.â
Bellaâs heart sank upon hearing this!
In person?
â¦Did they still plan to meet alone?! What was the matter that they had to discuss face to face?
As Bella was having her inner turmoil, Gavin changed his mind, âNever mind, itâs not appropriate for me to invite her to our house either. Iâll go to the engagement banquet tomorrow and talk to her casually.â
Lester nodded in agreement.
Bella bit her lower lip, her face turning pale green.
For the sake of Purple, Gavin was actually willing to attend an engagement banquet he initially didnât want to go toâ¦
âBella, do you have time tomorrow?â Gavin asked her, âIf youâre free, can you come with me as my female companion?â
Bella responded with a smile, âYes, sure.â
She had finally received the opportunity she had been waiting for, but it was only because of Purpleâs good fortune! There was no joy in her heart, only resentment and jealousy!
No, she couldnât let Purple take Gavin away!
