Cheyenne lowered her head gloomily. Of course, she knew that Lucas would not be able to afford such exorbitant jewelry, and she was just sometimes jealous of such a relationship.
Realizing that her mother was a little strange, Amelia pressed her soft and gentle face against Cheyenne's face and said gently, “Bu, don't be sad. One day, I will buy you those beautiful stones. ”
Seeing the nervousness in his daughter's big eyes, who seemed to be afraid she would get angry because she had not received any jewelry from Lucas, Cheyenne could not help but pinch her cheeks gently and smile. “Yes, I will wait. ”
At this moment, a woman dressed as a waitress walked over to Cheyenne, bowed, and whispered into her ear, “Miss Carter, sorry to bother you, but someone is looking for you. ”
Cheyenne frowned. “Who is looking for me?”
The voice of the servant became softer. “She said her last name was Gray. ”
Grey? Lucas Gray? Cheyenne thought for a moment and realized that Lucas seemed to be the only person she knew by the last name ‘Gray. ‘
Oh yes, our family was invited to the Intercontinental Hotel today, and it was quite an impromptu event. Lucas happened to be away from home at the time, and Mom didn't want him to come to the engagement party because she thought he was incompetent, so no one told her.
Now that Lucas is here, has something happened?
Thinking of this, Cheyenne hands Amelia over to Charlotte and leaves with the maid, using the excuse of going to the restroom because she was afraid her mother would start making a fuss again after hearing Lucas' name.
However, the waiter did not take Cheyenne out of the hotel and instead took her to the elevator and pressed the button to the top floor.
Seeing the confusion and vigilance in Cheyenne's eyes, the waiter smiled and explained, “Mr. Gray is waiting for you upstairs in the hotel. Rest assured . There's a surveillance camera in the elevator. I'm not gonna lie to you. ”
Cheyenne couldn't hold back then either, but he kept his guard up.
Soon, they arrived at the top floor of the Intercontinental Hotel.
At this moment, Flynn Davis was giving his final speech in the banquet hall. “At first I wanted everyone to give their blessing to that loving married couple, but the mysterious man was very adamant about not putting himself out and just wanted to spend this unforgettable wedding anniversary with his wife quietly today. Therefore, for the rest of the evening, please enjoy the wine and food we have prepared and enjoy the entertainment program. Have a good night. ”
The waiters moved smoothly, serving drinks on trays, along with pastries, and there was a buffet.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall was much more relaxed and lively.
Of course, since everyone present was a leading figure of the various industries in Orange County, they were certainly not just sitting at the table and eating. They each held wine glasses and went around to socialize with their acquaintances and the people they wanted to know.
Instead, Carters was in an awkward situation as no one came forward to talk to them. Even when Dominic Carter took the initiative to talk to others, they would only patronize him nonchalantly before leaving and avoid Carter like the plague, he said, it was as if they were afraid the Carters would start to bother them.
Bryce was furious when he happened to see Karen and Charlotte chatting merrily with some people nearby. Unable to hold back his anger anymore, he stormed.
Although the woman did not know why the Karen family was set to sit at the front desk, she thought there was no harm in saying some good things, since she might be able to establish some connections with him!
With this in mind, the woman continued to caress the back of Charlotte's hand, as if she loved her dearly.
Bryce snorted coldly and walked forward. “Some people like to brag, lie, and show off! He even said that his daughter was engaged to Ethan Sawyer's son today, but what happened? Where's engagement? Where's Sawyers? ”
Charlotte's pretty face flushed. Previously, they all thought tonight's event was an engagement party, but it wasn't. He felt very embarrassed now that Bryce had exposed the misunderstanding.
Not wanting to look weak, Karen replied cynically, “Well, at least we can sit at the main table in front, while some people can just sit at the door and watch!”
Bryce jumped as if his tail had been stepped on. “Can you sit here today if it wasn't for Carters? You bunch of ingrates! “
Exasperated, Karen placed her hand on her waist and was about to hit her, but an officer walked over and interrupted. “Nona Carter, New. Carter, Mr. Sawyer has specially reserved a private room for you to rest in. Do you want to go there? ”
Pak . A sawyer? That must be Ethan Sawyer!
Karen was naturally very happy as she planned to ask Sawyers when they would officially make the engagement.
“Ya of course . Our in-laws were very attentive to having prepared a private room for us. We can't let their good intentions go to waste. Karen insulted Bryce with disdain. He then took Charlotte and Amelia to a private room on the second floor while everyone watched with envy.
Bryce's face was pale yet reddened, but he no longer dared to say anything. He repeatedly felt embarrassed during the party, and he really could not stay any longer!
When Karen and the others arrived at the door of a private room on the second floor, she happened to see Ethan Sawyer passing by with a few people.
He hurriedly ran to greet her. “Halo, Sir. Sawyer!”
After glancing at her, Sawyer naturally recognized her as Lucas' mother-in-law, so she returned the greetings politely. “Halo, you must be Miss Carter's mother. ”
Karen nodded. “Yes, yes, we will soon be a family, but this is the first time we have met each other. This really... ”Taken a big grin, he pulled Charlotte over. “This is my youngest daughter, Charlotte. Charlotte, hurry up, greet your father-in-law. ”
Charlotte is very shy and shy. Who would give such an introduction? We're not engaged yet, and this is our first meeting, but he's already called her my father-in-law. How can I force myself to do that?
Upon hearing Karen's words, Sawyer was stunned. The family? In-law? Father-in-law? Whahuh?
Therefore, Sawyer asked carefully, “Ny. Carter, did you make a mistake? ”
