Chapter1435PresentingGifts
“Is there such a thing?”
When Old Mr. Summerton heard this, he turned to look at Zaiden darkly.
Zaiden didn’t dare to meet his gaze.
Even Emmanuel could see that Julian’s demeanor was like his father’s, which was naturally gentle, but when Julian was
provoked, he released a formidable power. Emmanuel wondered if Zaiden possessed this power as well.
“Old Mr. Summerton, | think there are certain matters that you must personally address. Otherwise, the future of the Summerton
family will be uncertain. You’re on your own now!” Aidan’s words carried a sense of foreboding, and after delivering his message,
he returned to his seat.
“It seems that | will need to delve into the family’s affairs after the banquet.
You descendants simply can’t put my mind at ease!”
After reprimanding Zaiden, Old Mr. Summerton finally took his seat.
Lexi was also present at the event with her father, Mkai. However, Lexi remained silent.
Observing the interaction between her grandfather and Aidan, Lexi inwardly sighed. It seemed that the Quillen family would have
a hard time establishing a good rtionship with the Summerton family. She was afraid of being caught in the middle in the
future with neither side pleased!
Once Old Mr. Summerton took his seat, the banquet officially started.
Old Mr. Summerton’s birthday celebration was filled with ceremonial significance, seeing that he was from the prestigious
Summerton family. The first segment naturally consisted of the presentation of gifts and well wishes!This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
“Representative of Outstanding Enterprises presents a hand-painted scroll by Master Fuda. He wishes Old Mr. Summerton a
long life!”
“The Silverbane family of Onza presents a pair of intricately carved jade peaches, wishing Old Mr. Summerton good health!”
“The Eissen family of Gratz presents...”
Eachpany or family representative presented their gifts. Since the emcee was announcing the gifts, Roselynn felt anxious.
Although the prices of these gifts were not disclosed, attendees would discuss their approximate values.
After the first round where over a dozen gifts were presented, the lowest value exceeded 70,000, while the highest likely reached
several hundred thousand or even millions!
It was undeniable that the gifts received at this prestigious family’s birthday celebration were worth what an ordinary individual''s
ancestors might have struggled for generations to achieve!
Roselynn keenly sensed the disparity between her and Julian’s social standing, so she also understood her mother and family’s
reservations about their rtionship.
Their backgrounds were vastly different, making it seemingly impossible for her to integrate into the Summerton family. Even if
she managed to do so, their future together would be fraught with challenges.
However, Julian’s unwavering love for her and his silent sacrifices left her torn, unsure of what to do.
“The Tanner family of Onza is incredibly generous, aren’t they?”
“They presented an antique from the ancient times, valued at 4 million!”
“It''s obvious that the Tanner family and the Summerton family have deep connections.”
“But | heard previously that the Summerton family had disagreements with the Tanner family. Wasn’t there some discord?”
The surrounding exmations and discussions brought Roselynn, who had been lost in thought, back to reality.
Hearing these remarks only intensified her difort. Julian had actually stood against the Tanner family to assist her and the
Quillen family. If the attendees discoveredter that she was merely amoner, she didn’t want to think about the bacsh
they would direct at her.
She wasn’t concerned about herself, having endured theizens’ attacks and insults before.
Instead, she was worried about Julian, who should not have to endure the pressure and defamation on her behalf!
“Roselynn, it’s our turn to present the gift. Julian is also watching you!”
Emmanuel''s reminder caused Roselynn to tremble slightly.
Following Emmanuel’s gaze, she noticed that Julian had returned to the main banquet table and was smiling at her.
