Phoebe Perryne was surprised to find out that Flora Tiarks was only nineteen.
She was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's not much difference, our Norma is twenty-five this year."
Every three years constitute a generational gap.
Norma Augus was only 6 years older than Flora Tiarks, which didn't form three generational gaps.
Grace White nodded, "Indeed, not much difference."
With that said, she continued, "Let go get her, she can say hello to Norma."
Finished Grace White looked at the maid beside her, "Where is the mistress?"
The maid respectfully replied, "The mistress is welcoming her friends at the door."
Welcoming friends?
What type of friends would require Flora Tiarks to personally welco them at the door?
Hearing this, Norma Augus was naturally a bit displeased.
Her father and Flora Tiarks's father were old friends.
Flora Tiarks should respect them even more.
Moreover.
She might beco Flora Tiarks's aunt in the future.
But Flora Tiarks showed no respect for her at all.
She was willing to welco her friends personally, but they had been there for quite a while, and Flora Tiarks hasn't shown any intention of greeting them.
Grace White nodded, turned to Phoebe and Norma, speaking in a gentle tone, "Let's go inside and have a seat first. Purple's friends are always punctual, they should be arriving soon."
Norma was stunned.
Given this situation, shouldn't Grace White imdiately call Flora back?
Was Grace White implying that they should go inside and wait for Flora?
What kind of hospitality was this?
Although she was upset, Norma Augus didn't show it.
She let it slide considering Grace White was the sister of Marcus White.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have been so patient.
Phoebe Perryne followed Grace White's steps, looked around and then said, "Speaking of which, our Mr. Augus and Mr. Tiarks are truly sworn brothers! By the way, why haven't we seen Mr. Tiarks today?"
Grace White laughed, "He had so business to attend to, he should be ho soon."
"Mr. Tiarks is indeed a busy man." Phoebe Perryne said.
"He spends his whole day running around."
While talking, Grace White led the mother and daughter pair inside the hall, "Mrs. Augus, you and Norma can sit down first. If you need anything, just tell the maid. I'll step out for a bit."
Today, the Tiarks Clan had many visiting guests. Her husband wasn't at ho, Grace White had to personally welco the visitors.
Phoebe Perryne nodded, "Alright, you go on. We'll manage."
Grace White turned around and left.
Watching Grace White walk away, Phoebe Perryne squinted her eyes. After a mont, she sighed, "Out of sight, out of mind, indeed!"
Right after Mr. Augus passed away, the Tiarks Clan stopped treating them with respect.
Naturally, Norma Augus understood the implications of Phoebe Perryne's words. She laughed and said, "Don't be angry, mom. After I marry Mr. White, they'll regret how they treated us today."
The power of the White family was enormous. Even the Tiarks Clan had to rely on them to sustain their lifestyle.
Hearing this, Phoebe Perryne burst into laughter. "Why should I be angry with them? I'm just feeling a bit sentintal. Your father always told how deep his relationship with the Mr. White was. I see now, it was nothing special."
Norma Augus didn't respond.
Outside.
Flora Tiarks was welcoming her guests along with her mother.
Grace White curiously asked, "Purple, when are Viola and her friends arriving? Did you tell them the correct ti? Don't mistake the ti."
Flora Tiarks replied, "Don't worry, mom, even if I'm unreliable, I won't forget such an important day."
Grace White nodded, "Then Viola and her friends should be arriving soon."
Looking into the distance, Flora Tiarks seed to rember sothing and said, "Mom, did you forget about Uncle Marcus?"
Grace White glanced at her watch, "I just called your Uncle Marcus. He said he has got a tailwind, so he should be here in half an hour."
This made Flora Tiarks speechless. "Mom, why is Uncle Marcus so stingy?"
Usually being stingy would be fine.
But today was Grace White's birthday, and he was still thinking about making the most of it by traveling with a tailwind.
Grace White shook her head and chuckled, "Honestly, even I don't know why your Uncle is so stingy!"
Despite Marcus White being thrifty, he never lacked a broader perspective.
At the sa ti, he was a shrewd businessman.
As she finished speaking, Grace White turned to Flora, "Your grandfather once said, thriftiness is ingrained in businessn. This ans, your Uncle is born to be a businessman."
A thrifty person in business will never lose money.
