Chapter 353: Nipping It in the Bud
Translator: 549690339
It was only a few days into winter vacation when the Sumrs Family received an invitation: Dylan Sumrs’ superior’s daughter was getting engaged to the son of an energy company boss.
Yolanda Sumrs would not miss such a pri 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 wouldn’t have mattered, since not many people knew that the Sumrs Family had an adopted daughter. But now, Purple had started attending Grey International School and made friends with students from wealthy families. If Purple didn’t attend the event, people would definitely notice.
Yolanda was very unhappy, saying, “Dad, you have to think it through. With Purple’s discreditable background, won’t taking her to the banquet make us a laughingstock?!”
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 ca to his adopted daughter?
The engagent invitation was also sent to the Graves Residence.
Surprisingly, the groom-to-be was Gavin Graves’ 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 engagent banquet, it would be a favor if Gavin attended in order to make the event more lively. No one would bla him if he didn’t go – the future family head of the Graves Family was busy with important matters. If he had to attend every cousin’s engagent banquet, he wouldn’t have any ti for actual work.
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 – and for people to mistake her as Gavin’s woman.
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
But if Gavin didn’t 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, “Are you going tomorrow?”
Second Young Master Graves was playing with his phone, head down, and casually said, “? If I go, wouldn’t I steal the spotlight from others?”
Gavin smiled at this, praising his younger brother for a rare mont of self- awareness: “At least you know yourself.”
With Gerald’s bad reputation, if he actually attended the engagent banquet, the guests would likely focus on him, overshadowing the newly engaged couple.
Gavin instructed Lester Williams, “You can attend on my behalf tomorrow and bring a gift.”
Lester nodded, then asked, “Young master, the Sumrs Family may also attend the engagent banquet tomorrow. If we encounter Ms. Sumrs, should I tell her about the information from before?”
Ms. Sumrs!
When Bella heard these three words, she imdiately looked at Gavin’s face.
She was extrely sensitive to Purple’s existence!
After pondering for a mont, Gavin said, “There’s no need, I’ll talk to her in person another day.”
Bella’s heart sank upon hearing this!
In person?
…Did they still plan to et alone?! What was the matter that they had to discuss face to face?
As Bella was having her inner turmoil, Gavin changed his mind, “Never mind, it’s not appropriate for to invite her to our house either. I’ll go to the engagent banquet tomorrow and talk to her casually.”
Lester nodded in agreent.
Bella bit her lower lip, her face turning pale green.
For the sake of Purple, Gavin was actually willing to attend an engagent banquet he initially didn’t want to go to…
“Bella, do you have ti tomorrow?” Gavin asked her, “If you’re free, can you co with as my female companion?”
Bella responded with a smile, “Yes, sure.”
She had finally received the opportunity she had been waiting for, but it was only because of Purple’s good fortune! There was no joy in her heart, only resentnt and jealousy!
No, she couldn’t let Purple take Gavin away!
