Layla glanced at Margaret and said, “Christopher, Ken is looking for you. Go and see him.”
Christopher said, “Joyce, Layla, please keep Mrs Jenkins accompanied for a while. I’ll go find Ken.” Christopher was going to see Kendrick, so it wouldn’t be good if Margaret followed him.
Margaret was not familiar with these people in front of her They were chatting, but she couldn’t engage in their conversation and couldn’t understand much of what they were saying
Staying there for a minute or even a second was torture to her. She couldn’t wait to find an excuse to leave Finally, she saw Scarlett.
She smiled awkwardly and said, “Joyce, Layla, I saw my friend. I’ll go to her for a while!”
Layla glanced at her and said nothing.
Joyce smiled and nodded “Go ahead.”
Margaret sighed with relief and went to Scarlett.
Harry was on a business trip and didn’t come to attend the birthday party hosted by the Solace family Scarlett came with her parents
She had seen Margaret and the matriarch of the Solace family together. Looking at Margaret standing beside the matriarch cautiously like a clown, she felt it was ridiculous.
Margaret claimed that Christopher was going to get engaged to her. But what Scarlett saw was that the Solace family didn’t take her seriously.
Seeing Margaret walking towards her, Scarlett smiled and said, “Marge, you look so beautiful today!” Margaret smiled proudly. Standing in front of Joyce and the others made her feel uneasy. She felt much more comfortable in front of Scarlett. Especially when she heard Scarlett’s flattery, she was even happier
“Joyce and Layla were talking to me just now. That’s why I didn’t come to you immediately. You wouldn’t be angry, right?
Scarlett smiled and said, “Why would I?”
Margaret glanced at the time and found that it was almost half past twelve, and the banquet was about to
start
According to her mother, the Solace family would definitely announce the engagement between her and Christopher during the banquet. She had to touch up her makeup and receive everyone’s attention in her most beautiful state.
“Scarlett, can you accompany me to the restroom?”
Scarlett nodded. “Sure!”
They went to the restroom, but there were too many guests today. The restroom on the banquet hall floor was basically full. Moreover, there were too many people inside, so it was not hygienic. Margaret didn’t want to step into it while lifting the hem of her dress.
Scarlett suggested, “How about going upstairs to the lounge’s restroom?”
Birthday banquets like that usually have lounges, which were not only convenient for the host and his acquaintances to rest but also to prevent emergencies.
Margaret nodded and said, “Let’s go to the lounge!”
Scarlett asked the hotel waiter to take them upstairs
Margaret went to the lounge to touch up her makeup and tidy up her hair. After resting for about ten minutes, she came out of the lounge when the door of the other lounge opened, and Xandria walked out
Margaret and Xandria knew each other, and they were on bad terms.
Margaret’s expression darkened, and she asked, “Why are you here?”
Xandria had also heard of those rumors. Now she looked at Margaret and felt funny, but she didn’t intend to break it to Margaret now. Wouldn’t it be nice to surprise Margaret later?
She closed the door as she didn’t want to let Margaret see Yuliana in the lounge. She smiled and said, “Why can’t I be here? If you could be here, so could !!”
In Margaret’s eyes, Xandria and Yuliana were jackals from the same lair!
Margaret snorted coldly and said, “Xandria, aren’t you good friends with Yuliana? Why didn’t you bring her with you?”
“If Yuliana was here, she would be able to see and hear in person the Solace family announce my engagement to Christopher,” she thought.
Xandria smiled mysteriously. “Do you want to see Yuliana that much?”
Looking at Xandria’s expression, Scarlett became alert. Thinking of Xandria deliberately closing the door, she couldn’t help but look at the door behind Xandria
Margaret didn’t take Xandria’s words seriously and sneered, I do want to see her, but I guess she can’t even get into the hotel!”
All the distinguished guests from Juxshire came today, and every session was subject to strict scrutiny With Yuliana’s status, even Xandria couldn’t bring her in
But she didn’t have time to talk to Xandria.
The banquet was about to begin. She had to go downstairs and get ready now!
She glanced at Scarlett and said, “Scarlett, let’s go downstairs. It should start soon.”
Scarlett withdrew her thoughts and said, “Ms. Yeager, I’ll go down with Marge first!”
Xandria and Scarlett exchanged looks..
She knew Scarlett. When she was downstairs in the banquet hall, her friend pointed Scarlett to her from a distance
Scarlett was in a relationship with Harry now
If nothing goes wrong, they will get married.
At the same time, her friend also hinted that Harry divorced Yuliana soon after Scarlett returned from abroad There was something between them.
Although Xandria could be careless, she still understood certain rules in the circle.
It was reasonable for Harry to choose Scarlett. The Lynch family only had one child and an adopted son. But the adopted son wasn’t blood-related, so the future heir of the Lynch family was still Scarlett..
After Harry married Scarlett and when her father passed away, everything in the Lynch family would belong to him.
Until then, no one in the Ziegler family could stop him.
Xandria judged people intuitively. She didn’t like Scarlett, although Scarlett was quiet and graceful, always looking well-educated.
Speaking of which, Scarlett’s temperament was somewhat similar to Yuliana’s.
The difference was that the feeling Scarlett gave her was superficial and fake.
Besides, she didn’t like anyone who could get along with Margaret.
Seeing Margaret and Scarlett leave, Xandria walked in the opposite direction with her phone.
At half past twelve, the banquet began.
As the main character today, the emcee invited Zachary to the stage for a few words after the opening remarks
Zachary held the microphone, put his hands together, bent down slightly to the audience, and then said with a smile, “I’m delighted and honored today to have so many friends and relatives here to celebrate my birthday.”
It had been nearly ten years since Solace Corporation was handed over to Kendrick. In the first two days, it was in the transitional stage. Occasionally, he would help Kendrick. After Kendrick officially got on track, he completely left the corporation in Kendrick’s hands
A few years ago, Winnie was in poor health, so they traveled the world. During that time, they made many
new friends from the other circle, thus, they hadn’t kept in touch with their previous circles for a long time.
Standing on the stage speaking at that moment, he looked different from when he was the head of Solace Corporation.
He’s very easygoing and friendly, just like an ordinary and kind elder.
After Zachary said a few words briefly, there was a burst of applause from the audience.
Then Kendrick, Joyce, Layla, and Jared came to the stage with their sons and daughters to wish Zachary a happy birthday.
Kendrick and Joyce prepared a painting, which was the work of Zachary’s favorite artist. It took them a lot of effort to get it.
Layla and Jared bought a fishing tackle as a present because Zachary liked fishing.
Finally, Christopher came to the stage.
