Chapter 1669


    Frightened by his expression, I knew that I wouldn''t get the truth, and stopped asking.


    The car stopped after more than half an hour.


    The Forbes family was definitely well-known for being a real estatepany. The vi was located in a winery with the best scenery in the suburbs.


    and it looked like a castle from a distance. It was not yet seven o'' clock. The heatingmps around were turned on, and jets of water from the fountain


    were squirting in the light. They were like elves in the night, which made the whole castle seem mysterious and solemn.


    The Roberts were the richest family in Ucrebury. The vi was decent, even for Jarold City. But after getting out of the car, I could feel the solemnness

    When Valerie spotted us, she stood up and weed us. “You''re here."

    Not long after chatting. we sat at the table. Aaron insisted on sitting next to me that day and I didn''t know why, so Hendrix had to sit between Elijah


    and Pedro.


    The position of people''s seats at the banquet often determined their status. That day was obviously a party for the Forbes family, yet Eddison was


    sitting in the head seat. Obviously. the Forbes family respected him very much.


    After the wine was poured into the ss, Eddison picked up the small spoon in front of him and knocked on the wine ss. The clear tinkling sound


    immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    He said, “Here, let''s raise our sses together, for Mr. Roberts and Mr. Forbes’ friendship, and them resolving their argument."


    It was unexpected that he was the peacemaker.


    The Forbes family was under


    Eddison, so Elijah and his wife


    generously amodated him.

    Eddison''s face was full of emotion. He picked up his ss, walked to Elijah, and ttered him, "Mr. Forbes, I''m toasting to you. Thank you for your


    generosity!”


    Since he was Standing, Elijah

    As the two people were ttering each other, people who didn’t know the truth would''ve thought that this was their exclusiveplimenting banquet.
