How should they think of Leila, the pride of the Irwan family?!
As one of the guests asked this question, many people imdiately agreed.
At this ti, Dennis and Caleb's expressions beca serious again. Caleb's eldest son turned his head towards the banquet hall with a loud tone. "Since that child is not the daughter of the Irwan family, naturally she is no longer should be treated as such."
"Today, I also want to convey one thing to the audience. From now on, the Mayer family will cut all ties with Leila. Even though this is a disgrace of the Irwan family, my family is not afraid to take firm action against Leila. The girl's behavior is very bad and only sees her own gain. She would justify any ans to achieve her goals!" He exclaid.
"She has been in the Irwan family for most of her life, she considers herself a little girl from the Irwan family, but the truth is, she had known her biological parents more than ten years ago."
As soon as the words were spoken, the banquet hall instantly fell silent, followed by faint gasps from the guests.
Could sothing like this really happen?
Who didn't know of Leila from the Irwan family? A knowledgeable, good girl with great character and ethics who was also the dearest granddaughter whom Simon always talked about?
Then how could the Irwan family not know the real descendant of their own family? Had they been cheated?
Currently, many people were looking at the Irwan family, who were sitting at the main table.
Simon shook his head and sighed incoherently, Richard and Janice also lowered their heads with indescribable facial expressions.
Their appearance couldn't help but make one wonder, had this big family been tricked by Leila?
How stupid was that?!!
Dennis was forced to stop his speech because of the constant conversation among the audience.
After a few seconds of silence, he cleared his throat and coughed. And after he caught the guests' attention, he began to speak again, "Does everyone think this incident is extraordinary? My family does not an to disrespect Irwan's family, but this is too much."
"Leila has enjoyed the magnificent life that Irwan's family has given her, and at the sa ti is enjoying the love that her real parents have given her. I want to ask, after knowing all that, how can my Mayer family accept such a savage as our descendant?"
"Mr. Dennis, has Leila returned to her real parents? Is she here today?"
The person's question caused Dennis to suddenly sneer. "How could that woman dare to show her face in my family's house? Of course not!"
"Since she found out about her biological parents more than ten years ago, the truth has been revealed now and she naturally wanted to return to where she ca. The Mayer family would never be willing to accept a wolf in a sheep's clothing like her," he firmly added.
"Even if Leila really wanted to be present at the Mayer family banquet, even if she had the ability to reach the sky, she would not be able to enter the borders of this military housing complex."
Dennis only spoke the fact. Their two extended families had been tricked by the child for years. Now releasing and cutting off all their relationships was a necessary move.
If the woman did not accept and had an evil plan in her heart, the Mayer family would happily respond with the way they know best— violence.
It could be ascertained that after tonight's big banquet, Leila's na had beco famous throughout Jakarta.
The Mayer family had cut ties with her, so even if she received a warm welco before this, it would be impossible for anyone to show the sa respect to her.
true origin beca known to everyone at this banquet, sparking a lot of discussions in cyberspace.
It wouldn't be a surprise if she would be everyone's topic of conversation for a long ti.
...
After Dennis finished speaking on the stage, he exchanged a few words with the guests at several tables.
In less than ten minutes, the banquet had started and at this ti, Lilia and llisa also returned to their seats.
Next to their seats, Jean and Leonard were sitting quietly.
Lilia looked at the man with her red eyes, and before she spoke, her fingertips were held by him under the table.
Her eyes were moist and their eyes t in the air. Lilia managed to catch the smile buried deep in her husband's eyes, then she pulled the corner of her mouth and muttered, "Has the problem been resolved?"
The man squeezed her soft fingertips and rubbed them gently, then said in a soft voice, "Almost done. After this banquet, I'm taking you sowhere."
Lilia looked at him and moved her lips, but in the end, she suppressed the suspicion in her heart. However, she still gripped Jean's fingers tightly under the table.
At this ti, people were busy eating while having their own thoughts.
Even though Dennis's explanation was sufficient to explain the problem, there were still people who were paying attention to the Irwan family at the main table.
They didn't know if the Irwan family would give them a proper explanation.
...
In the middle of the banquet, Simon slowly stood before everyone.
Caleb, who was conveying a few things to Dennis from the side, saw his movents and couldn't help but frown. "Simon, what do you want to do?"
Simon just glanced at him from the side, he then walked towards the stage without saying anything.
"Is he..." Caleb narrowed his eyes that were flashed with a dark light of contempt.
The Mayer family had forced him to openly face his family's mistakes. But even if he said so words to clarify the matter, it wouldn't help much with how people currently thought of them.
When Simon appeared on stage, everyone's conversation suddenly stopped.
Finally, the long-awaited man had appeared. They all wanted to know how the Irwan family would respond.
Simon stood in front of everyone in his black suit, the light from his white hair showing a hint of fatigue.
He let out a soft breath, his voice low as he spoke. "Sorry for interrupting your als. Just now, Dennis has said all that has to be said. But considering the problems can have far-reaching effects, let say a few words."
He took a deep breath then continued, "What Dennis said is true. The real daughter of our family is Lilia, not Leila. I have taught my children about etiquette, fairness and integrity, and learn humility throughout my whole life. Unfortunately my kindness has been exploited, I have failed to educate my family properly,"
At this point, Simon's appearance looked so pitiful, the expression he wore added to how feeble he was.
This highly respected person, his voice and appearance were worn by his old age.
At this mont, so people couldn't take it anymore. They couldn't help but give him comforting words. "Mr. Simon, it's not your fault! Leila is wrong for cheating and taking advantage of your kindness! No wonder such a cunning person can deceive you and your family, she doesn't have the graceful traits of your Irwan family."
"Yes, because she is not your real grandchild. Mr. Simon, you don't need to worry about it!"
Simon couldn't help shaking his head. He sighed and waved his hand sadly. "Thank you. Thank you. But I did not weigh too much on my mind because of that child. It's just that our family has been treating Lilia and llisa badly all this ti."
"Of course, today I also want to thank my old relatives for the banquet. Thank you for this kind of festive al and introducing Lilia to everyone," he continued.
"Unfortunately, my family have caused these two children to suffer and even caused llisa to suffer injuries. Therefore, I would like all of you to be the witnesses...."
"...I, Simon, on behalf of everyone in the Irwan family, will do my best to protect both our children from now on!" He said, giving his promise.
"As for Leila, since she is not a descendant of the Irwans, she does not have anything to do with us. From today onwards, the Irwan family will never recognize her as a relative. It is very unfortunate for the Irwan family to experience an embarrassing incident like this, I'm sure you all find it laughable.. Therefore, our family can only apologize to Lilia and llisa and endure this sha for the rest of our lives."
