Chapter 1156 The McDaniel Family’s Conspiracy


    Erin was indeed very smart and immediately guessed Mr. McDaniel’s intentions. She excitedly


    laughed, "Grandpa, you intend to use this banquet to invite Julien over. This way, we will have a


    chance to meet him and improve our two families’ rtionship. We won''t be as helpless as we are


    now, unable to even meet Julien."


    "You’re right. That''s exactly what I mean," Mr. McDaniel smiled proudly at his granddaughter.


    In his opinion, his granddaughter was outstanding in every aspect.


    y frowned at this moment. "Dad, what if Julien doesn''t attend the banquet? Then we still won''t be


    able to see him, will we?"


    As soon as this question was raised, Erin became nervous as well. "Yes, Grandpa. What if Julien


    really doesn''te? I haven''t seen him for almost seven years..."

    "Erin, don''t worry. I will make sure you see Julien." Mr. McDaniel narrowed his sharp and shrewd


    eyes.


    Erin''s eyes lit up. "Grandpa, do you have an idea?"


    Mr. McDaniel nodded. "Yes, Julien will definitelye. In order to promote the rtionship between


    you and Julien, I need you to do something, which may require you to make some sacrifices, but in


    order to be with Julien and to make the McDaniel family be inws with the Flint family, you


    must make such sacrifices. Erin, do you understand?" He looked at his granddaughter.


    y and Glenda looked at Mr. McDaniel and then at Erin, feelingpletely lost.


    "Dad, what do you want Erin to do? Please don''t ask her to do anything rash," y said.


    "Yes, Dad," Glenda chimed in.


    The couple were worried about their beloved daughter, but neither Mr. McDaniel nor Erin paid them


    any attention.


    Erin only had her grandfather and the words he had just said in her mind.


    She was smarter than her parents and naturally understood the meaning behind her grandfather''s


    words and what he wanted her to sacrifice. Her heart beat faster with excitement.


    "I understand, Grandpa. Don''t worry, I''ll seed." Erin responded seriously. She sped her hands


    together on her knees, suppressing her excitement.


    Upon realizing that she understood his intentions, Mr. McDaniel smiled with satisfaction, "You are


    indeed my granddaughter. Well then. It''s gettingte. Let''s go for dinner."


    "Okay." Erin stood up, held Mr. McDaniel’s arms, and the two of them walked intimately towards the


    dining room.


    As for y and Glenda, they were left behind,pletely forgotten.


    The couple stood up and watched the two of them disappear from sight, then looked at each other.


    Glenda frowned with a worried look on her face. "Darling, what did they mean by saying that? Do


    you understand?"


    "No," y shook his head and said honestly.


    In this family, he was very self-aware and knew that his intelligence was inferior to that of Mr.


    McDaniel and Erin. Many times, Erin instantly understood Mr. McDaniel''s words, while he had to


    think for a long time.


    Because of this, Mr. McDaniel and Erin would always finish their conversation without exining the


    details to him.


    Over time, he got used to it.


    As long as Mr. McDaniel and Erin were confident about their n, he would believe in them.


    "Let''s go for dinner too." y held Glenda’s hand.


    But Glenda still couldn''t rest assured. "I hope your father and Erin won''t mess things up too much.


    The situation is already bad, and it will be troublesome if it gets worse."


    "It won''t happen." y nodded with assurance.


    Hearing him say this, Glenda forced a smile and stopped saying more.


    At the dinner table, Erin and Mr. McDaniel engaged in animated conversation, withughter filling


    the air.


    They probably felt that after the banquet, everything could be resolved. Therefore, the atmosphere


    in their family became particrly rxed, without the initial worry and tension about Julien’s


    alienation from them.


    During the meal, Erin learned about some things that had happened in recent years from Mr.


    McDaniel and parents.


    Now she understood more clearly about the emotional entanglement between Julien and Sydney.


    But she still held the belief that Julien''s reunion with Sydney was not driven by love, but rather by


    Sydney having some sort of leverage over him, leaving him with no choice but to reconcile with her.


    Not only her, but Mr. McDaniel and her parents also thought the same.


    In their opinion, Sydneycked a powerful family background and was merely an orphan who did


    not know the identity of her biological parents. They found it hard to believe that Julien could be


    genuinely attracted to her.


    In short, they believed that as long as Julien wasn''t sincerely in love with Sydney and was only with


    her because he had to, they would find a way to help him break free from Sydney''s control.


    By then, Julien would definitely be grateful to them.


    After dinner, Erin was preparing to return to her room.


    Just as she was about to go upstairs, Glenda suddenly held her back. "Erin."


    "What''s wrong, Mom?" Erin turned around and looked at Glenda with a cute, puzzled face.


    Glenda furrowed her brows, her face filled with worry. "Erin, I just want to tell you that apart from


    Sydney being a hindrance, there is also a rich youngdy from the Ward family who is trying to win


    over Julien."


    "The youngdy from the Ward family? Do you mean the one owning a seafood business?" Erin


    asked.


    "Yes." Glenda nodded. "Their business has been experiencing a recent decline, and they have been


    seeking opportunities to connect with more influential families. Their attention is now focused on


    Julien. Rumor has it that they have been inquiring about acquiring an invitation letter for the


    uingmercial banquet, which Julian has confirmed he will attend. While the true


    importance of this event for Julien remains unknown, the Ward family has caught wind of it and is


    making frantic efforts to obtain an invitation letter in order to introduce their daughter to Julien."


    Upon hearing this, Erin sneered, "That girl, who smells like seaweed, thinks she''s worthy of Juien?


    No way! Mom, did they manage to get the invitation letter?"


    "Yes, they did." Glenda nodded. "They apparently traded a dock usage deadline with someone else


    for the invitation letter."


    "What?" Erin''s face immediately darkened. "I can''t believe they actually seeded in obtaining it.


    Now they will have ess to approach Julien. This is not good. Sydney is already a hurdle, and we


    absolutely cannot afford to have another one. Mom, do we possess an invitation letter for the


    event?"


    "No, we don''t," Glenda said, looking unhappy. "The host of thismercial banquet didn''t invite our


    family. For one, our industries have no rtion to theirs, so there''s no point in inviting us. Secondly,


    our family status is notparable to theirs, causing them to hold a lower opinion of us and thus


    exclude us from the guest list.”


    "Are you kidding me? Don''t they know that my grandpa was Julien''s mentor? They should have


    invited us based on that alone,” Erin said through gritted teeth.


    "While their family may not be on par with the Flint family, they don''t need to invite us just to please


    Julien. Moreover, Julien won''t hold any grudges against them for such a trivial matter. After all, it''s


    their prerogative to invite whomever they want."


    "In that case, we won''t be able to attend the banquet and stop the Ward family?" Erin''s expression


    twisted with anger, making her normally cute, doll-like face look like a puppet from a horror movie.
