Chapter 64

Chapter 64 With that thought, Holden picked up his phone and called George, the general manager of a branch in Sivro George said. “Mr. Evans, what a day to grace me with your call. He had a flattery smile.

Holden said, “George, I do have a favor to ask”

George said, “Mr. Evans, please, nume it. If it’s within my power, I’ll do it without hesitation.”

Holden said, “I’d like you to deliver a birthday gift on my behalf to a friend in Sivro, under the name of the Evans family”

George asked, “Who is this friend you speak of?”

Holden said, “Mc Flysia Rosewood”

George replied, “Consider it done. Il take care of it right away!

Holden said. “The birthday gift will be sent over shortly. The banquet has already started, so I’d appreciate it if you could hurry?

George replied, “You can count on me. After hanging up, he looked puzzled, He picked up an invitation from the side table. He thought. It seems that Mr. Evans and this Ms. Elysia Rosewood have a rather close relationship It was said that the Davis family had quietly spread the word to undermine the Rosewood family for this birthday banquet.

George hadn’t planned on attending, but he didn’t expect Holden to step The banquet had been going on for a while, and the number of guests arriving at the Rosewood residence could be counted on one hand Coupled with the sudden news that broke online, no matter how Scott tried to control his emotions, a clear displeasure was evident on his face.

Scott thought. Is the Davis family so eager to make my family the laughingstock of Sivro? What a cunning plan!”

Bella had been hosting guests in the hall, but after enduring the open mockery and veiled insults from several wealthy ladies, she felt too ashamed and found a quiet corner to hide in early on. She couldn’t help but blame Elysia.

She thought. If it weren’t for Elysia, why would the Davis family act this way! And why would I have to endure the ridicule of these ladies? In her subconscious, she also thought that Elysia marrying into the Davis family was an overreach.

Yet, Elysia had chosen to reject the marriage proposal. Bella blamed Elysia for not knowing herself well enough. Initially, Bella was happy when Elysia rejected the engagement as it meant Emma would have a chance to marry into the Davis family.

But after the dream shattered, she felt that Elysia was being ungrateful, bringing such a blow to their family.

At this moment, Emma was holding her phone, grinning as she looked at the viral article online. She scrolled across the screen.

Seeing another critical comment about Elysia, her joy knew no bounds. The more blunt the criticism, the happier she became.

She never thought there would come a day when Elysia would be the target of public criticism. She thought. The taste of being overwhelmingly criticized by public opinion is unpleasant. I once went through such a cyberstorm. This time, it has finally come to Elysia As Emma looked up, she happened to see Justin, dressed in a white suit. She paused for a moment; she didn’t expect Justin to attend Elysia’s birthday banquet In the past, when it was her birthday, Justin always used the excuse of being busy with studies and having no time to gently decline her invitations.

Although Emma knew these were all excuses, since Justin treated everyone the same way, she didn’t feel any disparity in her heart.

She thought, Justin attends Elysia’s birthday party. He treats Elysia differently. Why everything is different when it comes to Elysia? What is so special about Elysia?

Thinking of this, Emma averted her gaze and slowly walked towards Justin. As she approached, she smiled and said, “Justin, I didn’t expect you to come to Elysia’s birthday party. I thought you wouldn’t have time to attend”

Upon hearing this, Justin merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment, without saying a word.

Emma sensed his distant demeanor, and it felt as if her heart was brutally stabbed. She thought. He didn’t treat me like this then we were little. When do we start drifting apart?”

Download 12:05 PM Chapter 64 As this thought popped into her mind, Emma was unwilling to believe it. After forcing herself to calm down, she pretended to be fine. With a faint smile, she said, “Why haven’t I seen your parent?”

Hearing this, Justin furrowed his brows. He thought, ‘Robert and Emma have a good relationship How could she no know the Davis family suppressing the Rosewood family and making things difficult for Elysia Although they are sister, they are not blood related Justin had heard some of the gossips from school before. He didn’t think Emina was as innocent as she appeared to be in all of this Seeing Justin’s silence. Emma had no choice but to continue, Didn’t they come?”

Justin nodded, then bypassed her, not giving her the chance to ask any more questions.

Emma watched his retreating ting figure, a bit dated. He was close to her, but she felt like there was a great distance between them.

At this moment, Scott’s expression was struggling to remain composed. The guests present were also restless, looking for an excuse to leave.

Just as they were pondering what pretext to use, they saw Paul rushing in and whispering into Scott’s ear, “Mr. Zane Hartley has arrived Upon hearing this, Scott’s eyes widened in shock. He looked at Paul with a horrified expression and asked. “You mean the Mr.

Zane Hartley from the capital Paul quickly nodded and said. “Yes”

After a moment of astonishment, Scott instructed Paul, “Quick, usher Mr. Zane Hartley in He deliberately raised his voice.

Hearing his words, the guests present had varied expressions. They wondered, “Which Mr. Zane Hartley! The one from the capital But then they thought it impossible. It was said that Zane never attended banquets, they didn’t believe Zane would come to a birthday party like this. In other words, they didn’t think the Rosewood family have that much influence However, they were quite curious about who this big shot was that could make Scott show such a demeanor. So the guests who had been looking for an excuse to leave instantly dropped that thought. They decided to see this important figure first.

Before Scott could even reach the door, he saw Zane walking towards him. Upon recognizing Zane, his face was all smiles. He greeted. “Mr. Hartley, your visit is an honor. I apologize for not being there to welcome you earlier.

Zane said. “No need for that. I heard that your daughter is celebrating her birthday today. I happened to be passing by and thought I’d come in and share in the joy. I hope you won’t think me presumptuous.”

“Not at all! Your presence at my humble abode is an honor for my family Scott said, ushering Zane in The guests present were all taken aback upon seeing Zane. They didn’t expect it to really be Zan. In the business circles of Clusia, Zane was a well- known figure. They never thought that a person like Zane would attend the Rosewood family’s banquet They thought. ‘Zane has always been known for his keen business acumen. His choice to support the Rosewood family now, could it mean he sees potential in them?
