Chapter 686



.

Even if it was to get favors, everyone praised the three children. In the midst of the praise, Mrs. Livingstone’s words were especially striking.

Everyone looked at her in unison.

Mrs. Livingstone coughed. She had already offended Justin anyway, so she had better go all out. “Why are you all looking at me, look at the three kids! Pete grew up with Justin and has had an elite upbringing since he was a little boy, what about Cherry? She grew up with Miss Smith, and everyone must have heard about Miss Smith’s past, right? She grew up in a small place in California, what kind of knowledge and horizons can she have? Cherry’s education is definitely not as good as Pete’s.”

At this point, he looked at Cherry. “Cherry, not that I’m criticizing you, but you need to study hard. The girls who play every day are terrible. However, this is not your fault. You can’t blame yourself for not having a proper environment to grow up in…”

Although Nora was the Smiths’ oldest daughter, she grew up in a small place in California.

Everyone knew it, but Nora was Anti and also Dr. Zabe’s disciple. Who could guarantee that they would never need her help?

Therefore, no one mentioned her past.

However, when Mrs. Livingstone said this, everyone couldn’t help but appraise Cherry.

The little girl stood gracefully. She wore a white princess dress and a pretty diamond tiara on her head. She looked lovely no matter how you looked at her.

Cherry blinked her dark eyes and her expression darkened.

She suddenly thought back to the time when her brother forced her to study every day….

Back then, her brother would always look at her and sigh. He would even tell her that she shouldn’t embarrass mom.

She felt she was pretty and charming, how could she embarrass her mother?

But now she understood.

So this group of people thought she and her mother had been living in a bad environment since she was young?

This was just too infuriating!

The little girl immediately stepped forward and raised her head to speak. “Grandmother, have you lived well since you were young?” Mrs. Livingstone was the daughter of a wealthy family. She immediately lifted her chin. “Of course.”

Cherry instantly shrugged her neck. “Then I don’t want to grow up in a good environment. I don’t want to be like you and stick my nose into other people’s business.”

With that, she suddenly covered her mouth. “I want to stay away from this woman, I’m going to catch it from you! Why are you pointing fingers at others! Mom says that’s not good!”

Not judging was the best virtue.

Among wealthy families and young women, this had always been the rule. However, where there were many women, there was much bickering and gossip.

The circle of wealthy ladies in New York was too dull. Therefore, they all gossiped often. It was not very good.

At this moment, Cherry’s words made everyone present respect her.

No matter, Cherry’s words alone proved that her education was not bad!

Mrs. Livingstone was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she still sneered and said, “Cherry, I am your relative. That’s why I care about you. Why should I care about other people’s affairs? If you look down on me for disciplining you, I’ll apologize to you! Gosh, kids these days are so sensitive. I can’t even say anything as their eldest.” He was branding Cherry as disrespectful to her elders!

Pete narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. Suddenly he smiled and said, “Mrs. Livingstone, what kind of family do you come from? Why hadn’t I heard that we were related?”

Mrs. Livingstone immediately replied, “Your great-grandmother is my aunt. I am definitely your relative.”

Pete looked stunned. He was very gentlemanly as he seriously asked, “Is that so? Then everyone here today is my family, right?”.

Those who were able to attend the banquet were all from deep-rooted New York families. Didn’t they have any kinship?

Pete was being sarcastic – where was he coming from?

These words were like a slap in Mrs. Livingstone’s face, making her even angrier.

However, come to think of it, her relationship with the Hunts really rested solely on Elder Mrs. Hunt. She instantly blushed and stopped talking.

Casually, Ian and Justin came downstairs.

Mrs. Livingstone instantly shut her mouth.

Ian and Justin had already arrived in front of the children and began giving them gifts.

Ian’s gift to Pete and Xander was his own shares in the company. Five percent was given to the two boys without further ado.
