“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, I 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 I 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.

significance, seeing that he was from the prestigious Summerton family. The
first segment naturally consisted of the presentation of gifts and well wishes!
“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

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 I 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.

He clearly desired Roselynn to make a dignified appearance in front of his
family, formally introducing her to them!
“I think we should just forget about it…”
Roselynn, who was usually bold, was now contemting withdrawing.
Firstly, she felt that her gift was inadequate. It was a pill that they made
themselves.
Secondly, while she had pondered the idea, she had not yetmitted to
formally meeting Julian’s family. She was torn between desire and fear.
“Roselynn, do you think this is fair to Julian? Even if you see him as just a
friend, you should still present a gift to his grandfather today, shouldn’t you?”
Emmanuel reprimanded her.
Ultimately, Roselynn took a deep breath, nodded, and stood up.
