55: Chapter 55: Encounter at the Birthday Banquet
55 -55: Encounter at the Birthday Banquet
The year she married Edwin Blake, she had made a three-year agreement with the old man.
If after three years there were no feelings, she would divorce and return to Riverland.
Yet, when the time came, not only were there no feelings, but divorce rumors were flying everywhere.
She was worried that Jonah Wiles might take action against Edwin Blake, so she left after leaving a letter.
Thinking about it, Ivy River couldn’t help but tear up, “Tell him when you go home that I will definitely go back to see him soon.”
“Just don’t cry when you go home.
These years, the old man’s hair has turned quite white; he’s more concerned about you, an outsider, than about his own son.”
Gale Wiles said, a little jealous.
“It’s because I never make him worry, have been since I was a child.”
When Ivy River was ten, she came to the city from the village and had nowhere to go at the bus station when she accidentally met Jonah Wiles.
Jonah Wiles thought she looked inexplicably familiar at first glance.
After investigating, he found that Ivy River was an orphan, and her only relative, her grandfather, had also died.
Her background couldn’t be traced, so he just began supporting Ivy River.
No one on the outside knew that Jonah Wiles was behind Ivy River.
It was because she was low-key since childhood and didn’t want outsiders to know she was supported by the Wiles Family.
Gale Wiles sneered, “Just this one thing has worried him sick, coax him yourself next time.”
“It’s getting late; you can leave my house now.”
Ivy River didn’t want to listen to this and directly showed him out.
“Fine, Ivy River, this is how you’re treating me!”
Gale Wiles cursed as he spoke, handing Ivy River an invitation before leaving.
“I have a banquet tomorrow.
After it’s over, I’ll return to Riverland.
Join me.”
Ivy River frowned, “I’m not going.”
“Your son took the ring and watch from others to sell and keep as a little treasury to marry a wife.
If you don’t go, who will?”
Ivy River fell quiet.
You can’t bite the hand that feeds you.
She understood this all too well.
“Fine then…”
Gale Wiles confidently spoke, “You still look so helpless, don’t forget, if Fatty hadn’t taken the things, we wouldn’t have to go.”
“You were the one who let Fatty take it; Fatty doesn’t care for these things at all.”
Ivy River was annoyed and directly pushed Gale Wiles out of the door, locking it.
…
Late at night.
Edwin Blake sat in his study, gazing out of the window.
In front of the computer screen was a bunch of code; he was investigating the identity of the hacker who had blacked out the Blake Clan Group.
He had originally found some clues, but they all disappeared suddenly. ƒreewebɳovel.com
And Gale Wiles had recently been crazily attacking him, causing Blake Clan to lose several businesses.
When did Gale Wiles extend his reach to Seaton?
Edwin Blake frowned, with a tinge of anger in his eyes.
It couldn’t be that Ivy River was behind it, could it?
Damn it!
Why did he think of that woman again!
At this moment, the phone rang.
The caller ID showed Isla Sutton.
“Edwin, could you accompany me to a banquet tomorrow?”
Edwin Blake pondered for a moment, “I have a banquet tomorrow too; is it Old Master Harper’s?”
Isla Sutton was overjoyed, “Yes, it’s the Harper’s.
Uncle Harper has been nice to me, so I want to attend tomorrow.
Are you going?”
“Alright, then you don’t need to prepare gifts; I’ll have Harry Ross handle it with me.”
Isla Sutton was thrilled, “Okay, thank you, Edwin.
Old Master Harper seems to like my designs a lot; should I draw a design and give it to him?”
“No need, you can’t make it in time even if you prepare the design overnight.
It’s getting late; you should rest.”
“I’ll listen to you then.
Where are you now?
Are you at home?
Can you accompany me?”
Edwin Blake pursed his lips, looked outside the window, “I’m working overtime at the company; there are a lot of things to handle these days.”
“Alright then, come home and rest early, don’t stay up too late.”
Isla Sutton’s voice was slightly disappointed.
“Okay, I have to handle things first.”
Edwin Blake hung up the phone.
His thoughts drifted far.
…
The next evening.
Edwin Blake arrived at the Harper Family with Isla Sutton.
Many guests had already arrived one after another.
Edwin Blake got off the car first, followed closely by Isla Sutton.
She looked stunning tonight in a black sequined dress, with a diamond ring on her hand and a pearl necklace.
Her whole person exuded a glamorous sheen, very enchanting.
Isla Sutton smiled, holding Edwin Blake’s arm, enjoying the gazes everyone cast upon her.
It was only in such settings that she felt perfect.
The position of Mrs.
Blake belonged to her without a doubt!
Someone came forward to greet them.
“President Blake, Miss Sutton, you’re attending as well?”
Edwin Blake nodded casually and headed into the banquet hall.
Isla Sutton said to Harry Ross, “Give me the gift, I’ll deliver it to Uncle Harper.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to give it together later?”
Isla Sutton shook her head, “No, I must give it to Uncle Harper personally!”
She took the gift and walked away elegantly.
Edwin Blake frowned, saying nothing.
Meanwhile.
A commotion arose at the entrance.
“Oh my, who is this, what an aura.”
“I don’t know, whose debutante is she, she’s so beautiful, even better than Isla Sutton’s aura.”
“The man I know, the CEO of the Wiles Clan Group, the sole heir of the Wiles Family, a prominent figure indeed.
His companion shouldn’t be mediocre.”
The arrival of Ivy River and Gale Wiles drew everyone’s attention.
Her cold face was too striking.
Especially in a wine-red strap dress, with exquisite collarbones exposed, fair skin, she was stunning the entire room.
Gale Wiles spoke softly, “Don’t wander around later, there are many people here, lest you get lost.”
“I’ve lived in Seaton for three years; I won’t get lost.”
Ivy River coldly spoke, glancing around.
Everyone here was either rich or noble, all significant figures.
Today, the Harper Family clearly spared no effort in hosting the banquet.
After all, it was to prepare for Jason Harper’s arranged marriage, so it had to be done well.
Only then could there be a chance of finding the most suitable candidate for marriage.
Ivy River wasn’t particularly interested, “Since I’m here, I’ll find a place to sit for a while, it’s boring.”
“Meet Old Master Harper with me before you go to rest.”
Gale Wiles knew well that Ivy River disliked this kind of gathering.
When she was in Riverland, the Wiles Family often hosted banquets, but Ivy River never attended.
She didn’t like it, so no one forced her.
If it weren’t for receiving gifts this time, she wouldn’t have attended.
“Let’s go.”
Ivy River then called over a staff member, “Excuse me, where is Old Master Harper?”
The staff member quickly replied, “Miss, hello.
Old Master Harper is in the main hall ahead.
You can find it by following this road.
If you still can’t recognize the way up front, just ask us staff.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Ivy River politely thanked him, then headed straight towards Old Master Harper.
Along the way.
She coincidentally met Isla Sutton who was delivering gifts to Old Master Harper.
Seeing Ivy River, a trace of malice flashed in Isla Sutton’s eyes.
She walked quickly, pretending to meet by chance, “Ivy, you’re attending Uncle Harper’s birthday banquet too?”
