Chapter 30 -30 The Protagonist of Tonight Has Finally Arrived
The Jennings family’s decor had an understated luxury. Once the glass doors connecting the front hall and the garden platform were opened, the entire banquet appeared semi-open.
The decorations, the flow of events, and the variety of delicacies were all arranged by a specialized planning company.
Even though the Garrison family often attended various parties, they couldn’t help but feel envious when they saw the Jennings family’s presentation.
Looking at the elites and socialites coming and going, Isolde Garrison straightened her back unconsciously as soon as she walked in, striving to showcase her most beautiful side to everyone tonight.
For this evening’s banquet, she specifically insisted on having her father spend a fortune on a new spring haute couture gown from Blue, a princess-style strapless tulle dress, paired with a small crown on her head, accentuating her as if she were a princess.
With the sweet smile she deliberately put on, indeed, she caught quite a few sideways glances as she entered.
But before Isolde could strike a more beautiful pose, the gazes that had initially lingered swiftly withdrew. In the corner of her eyes, she even caught some disdain.
Isolde was somewhat bewildered, unsure of what was wrong with her look.
Unbeknownst to her, after she and her parents left, a girl in a black dress quietly chuckled with someone next to her in the corner.
“Who was that lady just now? Doesn’t she know who the main star is today? Wearing a crown, does she think she’s the ‘princess’ of the night?”
Someone beside her added, “She seems familiar, but I can’t recall who she is.”
“Isn’t that the president of the Garrison Clan? How did the Garrison family make it onto the guest list today?”
Not to mention a few people at the banquet paid attention to the Garrison family, even Blaise Jennings became visibly confused when he saw the Garrison family approaching him.
Wasn’t that the Garrison family? Who let them in here?
Elder brother had repeatedly told everyone that the Garrison family mistreated their daughter from the Jennings family and barred any future collaboration with the Garrison family. The previous partnerships were all canceled, so how were these people here?
“Assistant Jennings, it’s so great to see you! I’ve always wanted to find a chance to meet with you again, but unfortunately, we never managed it. What a coincidence.”
At the moment he caught sight of him, Timothy Garrison effusively expressed his enthusiasm, as it was initially Assistant Jennings who contacted him for cooperation in the first place. Timothy’s first priority upon entering the Jennings’s event was, of course, to find him.
Blaise Jennings’s wife, who was the Third Mrs. Jennings, Flora Xalvadora, originally had her arm linked with her husband’s as they mingled in the banquet hall greeting guests, paused in surprise upon seeing the Garrison family, but maintained a gentle smile as she inquired,
“Yutong, who are these people?”
Flora Xalvadora hadn’t met the Garrison family before. Emma White had visited, but unfortunately, she was turned away before reaching the door, so Flora didn’t recognize them either.
Blaise Jennings explained, “Let me introduce you. This is President Garrison and his wife, and this should be their daughter.”
Upon learning their surname was Garrison, Flora Xalvadora’s expression became subtly nuanced.
Even though the Jennings Group was inherited by the eldest brother, Blaise Jennings always followed his elder brother’s lead, and the entire family was accustomed to taking his direction.
Flora knew well that the elder brother had no regard for the Garrison family.
In fact, neither she nor the elder brother thought much of them.
She later found out that although Scarlett from the Garrison family was officially the eldest daughter, she was actually raised as a companion to Isolde. Carrying bags and buying snacks for Isolde, checking in when she was hospitalized, Scarlett was always there.
Under the guise of an elder sister looking after her younger sibling, but the Garrison family could afford caregivers, couldn’t they? Was it necessary to make one child take care of another?
Scarlett was hit by a car and hospitalized while saving Isolde, yet the Garrison family showed no gratitude, even kicking her out empty-handed.
