Chapter179
Bethany showed up here today, all dressed up and looking so
pretty, was Terrence okay with that?
Is Terrence going to make their marriage public?
Bethany gave Krista and Rigoberto a cold glance, then her gaze
landed on Lucian. She nodded and smiled at him as a greeting
before walking away.
“Whatever.” Rigoberto snorted coldly, sarcastically saying,
“Lucian, Mrs. McConnell was so nice to you, I really don’t
understand. After all these years with Kyson and Krista, you
guys met her once and all sided with her. It’s really ridiculous.”
“What are you talking about, Rigoberto?” Krista advised, “Beth
is Terrence’s wife, Lucian and Kyson treat her well, not just
because of Terrence’s sake. You better not say such things
again.”
Lucian didn’t say anything.
Three people walked into the banquet hall to wish Sir Duarte a
happy birthday.
Chapter179
Just now Bethany went to the bathroom for a bit, and after a
while Kyson saw her going to the banquet hall, worried that she
wouldn’t be able to speak comfortably, so he looked for her
everywhere.
Bethany typed on her phone, “Mr. Duarte, can you find two
people to help me carry some things? This is a birthday gift I
prepared for your grandfather!”
Kyson immediately arranged for the servants at the door to
come and carry the birthday gift.
Then, they walked in together.
In the banquet hall, many people were giving Sir Duarte
birthday presents.
Evangeline had originally intended to confront Kyson in front
of Sir Duarte, but seeing that Sir Duarte was busy, she had to
swallow her grievances and keep them to herself for the time
being.
In the blink of an eye, Krista, Rigoberto, and Lucian came in
together.
Evangeline saw Krista, and her face didn’t look good either.
However, things between Krista and Terrence came to a halt
Chapter179
with both the McConnell family and the Gilbert family.
Except for Terrence’s three best friends, no one else knew.
In public, Krista was still Ms. Gilbert, the aunt of Terrence.
Rigoberto and Lucian, representing their families, gave Sir
Duarte a birthday gift.
When it was Krista’s turn to give a birthday gift, Kyson politely
walked in with Bethany.
But right now, everyone’s attention was on Sir Duarte.
Evangeline was the only one who saw it.
I was so annoyed, didn’t know what got into Kyson, being polite
and gentlemanly to a mute.
Because Sir Duarte usually likes to smoke cigars with a pipe,
Krista specially bought him an emerald pipe.
“Sir Duarte, this is an old jadeite piece from my father’s
collection. I found a craftsman with nearly a hundred years of
heritage to specially make it for you. Give it a try, see if you like
the feel?”
Emerald green, almost as transparent as glass, even a small ring
face is valuable, let alone a pipe.
Chapter170
“You girl, now that you’re here, you even brought such a
valuable gift.”
Jameson liked it a bit, holding it in his hand and playing with it.
After all, it was an old piece, with a deep flavor that came from
the passage of time.
“What matters most is that you like it. Wishing you have today
every year, and have this moment every year. Stay healthy!”
Jameson kindly said, “You’re such a sensible girl. When you see
your dad, say hello for me. Please have a seat!”
Although Krista was adopted by the Gilbert family, because
Terrence’s mother passed away early, the Gilbert family valued
Krista and treated her almost like their own daughter, carrying
her carefully and treasuring her, so no one in the circle looked
down on her status.
She was another lady raised by the Gilbert family.
A lady like her, who is intelligent and elegant, is the type that
elders really like.
The birthday gift I gave, it really touched Jameson’s heart, many
elders praised Krista.
Krista was always smiling gracefully and handling things
Chapter179
smoothly.
Bethany felt a bit out of place, she had married into a wealthy
family but had never attended any parties. She could clearly
feel that she didn’t belong here.
Kyson seemed to sense her awkwardness and shouted towards
Jameson, “Grandpa, the important guest I invited has arrived.”
Kyson’s voice was loud, instantly catching everyone’s attention.
Jameson also raised his confused gaze.
In the banquet hall, there was a sudden silence for a few
seconds. After the silence, someone suddenly spoke, “Whose
daughter is this? I’ve never seen her before, she’s so beautiful.”
“Yeah, she’s got such a great personality. Could she be Kyson’s
girlfriend?”
Evangeline instantly got annoyed, “What are you guys talking
about?”
She had a problem with Bethany, but Bethany is Terrence’s
wife, so how can she just blame other men.
Kyson politely said to Bethany, “Come with me to Grandpa.”
