57: Chapter 57: Identity Exposed 57: Chapter 57: Identity Exposed Madeline Woods wiped her eyes, confirming she wasn’t seeing things.
She quickly ran over to Ivy River, “Ivy!
It really is you.
When did you return to the country?
Why didn’t you tell !”
“Madeline?
What are you doing here?”
Ivy River’s eyes burst with surprise.
Madeline was her best friend.
But she’s been living in Riverland long-term, why is she appearing in Seaton?
“I ca here to attend a design exhibition and, while I’m at it, attend Elder Harper’s banquet, but you!”
Madeline looked at her in shock, then at Edwin Blake.
Ivy River interrupted her, “We’ll talk later.”
Madeline looked anxious, she had matters to attend to, so she quickly added Ivy River on WeChat and left early.
Everyone’s thoughts instantly collapsed.
“Ivy River,” this was the rumored woman.
Did she just appear directly in front of them?
“Old Lee, if I rember correctly, Ivy River, isn’t she President Blake’s ex-wife?”
“Yes, I’ve never seen her before; it’s eye-opening.
So beautiful, who knows why President Blake never brought her out.”
“My god, with this comparison, Ivy River seems more elegant than Isla Sutton, plus she’s already remarried, and her second marriage is so good.”
Hearing this, sigh Edwin Blake couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness, biting his teeth.
His forehead veins popped out.
Isla Sutton listened to the whispers, noticing Edwin Blake’s subtle expressions, her eyes full of deeper hatred.
She intentionally looped her arm around Edwin Blake’s, pretending to be affectionate.
Edwin Blake felt uncomfortable, slightly stepping back, and said to Peterson Harper, “Elder Harper, please continue.”
Peterson Harper was also stunned; this was a full-blown drama scene.
With a probability of one in a thousand, it happened at his birthday banquet.
He scratched his head, and when he brought out the landscape painting, the scene was imdiately shocked.
Peterson Harper was overwheld with surprise, “President Wiles, you, you give such a valuable gift right away.”
Gale Wiles spoke calmly, “I heard Elder Harper loves collecting landscape paintings, so I prepared one.
As long as you like it.”
“Elder Harper, this painting was drawn for you by Master Konk, and he even wrote your na on the back.”
Ivy River’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it shocked everyone.
It also stunned Gale Wiles, who couldn’t help but glance at Ivy River, his eyes showing a hint of intrigue.
What else does this sister of his have that he doesn’t know about?
“What!
Did I hear it right?
And a personal signature!
Amazing, amazing.”
“Where did Gale Wiles get this from!
I’ve been looking for a long ti and couldn’t find a single one, let alone with a personal signature.”
“Master Konk has been retired for a long ti; it’s not easy to obtain his painting, truly admirable.”
Peterson Harper looked carefully at the end; indeed, it was a personal signature!
“Thank you, thank you so much, President Wiles.
I really like it.
This counts as successfully chasing a star!”
Gale Wiles waved his hand, “As long as you like it.
Hurry and open President Blake’s gift; everyone has been waiting so long.
I’m also curious about what President Blake gave.”
Ivy River stood a little tired, so she lazily leaned directly on Gale Wiles.
Gale Wiles adjusted his posture to support her comfortably.
Their intimate actions were glaring to Edwin Blake.
“Elder Harper, I didn’t find a Master Konk painting, so naturally, it’s not comparable to President Wiles’.
As long as you don’t mind.”
“President Blake, what are you saying?
How could Elder Harper hold a grudge?”
Gale Wiles and Edwin Blake had similar aura, neither giving in to the other.
Their speech was sarcastically toned.
Peterson Harper reflexively wiped his sweatless forehead, “Alright, alright.”
When the gift was opened.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, but there were no exclaims.
It was a piece of Imperial Green jade.
Peterson Harper looked at Edwin Blake, “President Blake, this is too valuable!”
“As long as Elder Harper likes it.”
“I like it, I like it.
I’m a person who loves two things, and today, on my birthday, I received both.
Thank you, President Blake and President Wiles.”
Peterson Harper was indeed a veteran in the business circle.
His words never offended anyone.
He said he liked both, without ranking them, very diplomatic.
But discerning people knew Peterson Harper preferred the landscape painting.
Edwin Blake glanced nonchalantly at Ivy River and spoke to Gale Wiles, “May I ask where President Wiles sourced this painting?
I’d like to get one for my grandmother.”
Gale Wiles smiled, “Master Konk forbids from disclosing his information, sorry.”
Ivy River scoffed internally.
Old Lady Blake doesn’t like landscape paintings at all; he just brings up anything as an excuse.
“Then I won’t trouble President Wiles, I’ll continue searching for Master Konk myself.”
Isla Sutton lightly bit her lip, glancing at Ivy River.
“Uncle Harper, do you like the design I gave you?
I also prepared a gift for you.”
Peterson Harper was taken aback, as if he hadn’t expected it.
Edwin Blake couldn’t help but frown.
When Ivy River heard about the design, she laughed.
Imdiately stood straight, lightly laughed, and said, “Does Miss Sutton also design?
Elder Harper, can you show us?”
Peterson Harper awkwardly laughed, “That would be wasting everyone’s ti.”
He hurriedly opened Isla Sutton’s gift.
It was a suit design.
Peterson Harper was stunned, and Isla Sutton’s voice instantly ca to his ear, “I rushed to finish drawing this overnight.
Not sure if you like it.”
“Like it, how could I not?
Miss Sutton’s gift is wonderful, thank you, President Blake, and Miss Sutton.”
Ivy River chuckled, “Elder Harper is sixty, not sure what’s Miss Sutton’s idea behind gifting a suit?”
Isla Sutton softly said, “Isn’t Elder Harper’s son at the marriageable age?
I’m giving this for Uncle Harper to wear at the wedding.”
“It’s your son getting married, not Elder Harper.”
“You!”
Ivy River mocked, “And this design of yours, garbage.”
Isla Sutton was so angry at Ivy River that she turned red with sha.
She was about to say sothing when Edwin Blake cut in, “Elder Harper, Isla ant no harm.
If you don’t like it, there’s no need to make it.
She also prepared another gift, please take a look.”
Harry Ross saw this and imdiately handed over the gift.
Peterson Harper opened it to find a fine quality bracelet, collectible level.
“This bracelet, the quality is excellent, thank you, Miss Sutton.
Miss Sutton is truly considerate, preparing two gifts, both deeply to my liking.”
Peterson Harper politely spoke.
In reality, he was incredibly nervous inside, with Edwin Blake saying so, could he directly say he didn’t like it?
Otherwise, Harvest Bank would be in big trouble.
Gale Wiles noticed Ivy River’s impatience, his eyes cold, “Elder Harper, since the gifts are opened and there’s nothing more, shall we go to rest?”
Isla Sutton was upset, feeling she lost face because of Ivy River, imdiately spoke, “Isla Sutton, you say my design draft is garbage, then what gift did you bring Elder Harper?
Surely you didn’t co empty-handed?”
“You are Miss Sutton, not Mrs.
Blake, of course, you need a gift, while I’m not Miss River.”
