After returning home at night, Sonnet saw Maxwell trying on some clothes while getting Mrs. Wilson’s opinion. He was dressed in a dark-grey-colored tuxedo. The tuxedo had a slight shine to it. The black leather shows that he was wearing shone brightly under the light. “Are you going to attend an important event?” Sonnet asked in surprise. “Yes, it’s an extremely important event,” Maxwell replied with a nod. He took out an invitation and said, “I’m going to accompany you back to your family home, wifey.” Sonnet looked at the invitation. It was an invitation to Martha’s birthday banquet. Her expression darkened as she asked Mrs. Wilson, “Who sent this over?” “A chauffeur from the Cole family. They also told us that Martha has been looking forward to meeting Maxwell!” Mrs. Wilson replied. “Wifey, am I handsome?” Maxwell spread his arms in front of Sonnet and twirled around. There was a radiant smile on Mrs. Wilson’s face as she exclaimed, “Young Master Brooks has alwa
“You must be obedient when we visit the Cole family tomorrow, alright?” Sonnet told him. “I’ll be obedient.” “If anyone says something bad to you, act like you didn’t hear anything. I’ll protect you. Don’t be afraid, alright?” “With wifey next to my side, I won’t be afraid!” Not only would he not embarrass her, but he would help her prove all those people wrong! After getting off work the next day, Sonnet went home to get her makeup done. When they were about to head off, a luxurious Rolls-Royce drove over. The chauffeur got down and told them, “Mr. Pine sent me over to fetch you and Young Master Brooks.” Sonnet did not reject his offer. She got into the car with Maxwell. After getting clarification from the chauffeur, Sonnet found out that the car had been prepared for Maxwell’s marriage based on Old Master Brooks’s will. The car had just arrived. The chauffeur’s name was Benson Sun. He would work as Sonnet and Maxwell’s personal chauffeur in the future. Sonnet felt
Martha was momentarily stunned before returning to her senses. The woman standing before her was her biological daughter, Sonnet Turner!She looked like a completely different person compared to before.However, the ambiguous gaze in her eyes was filled with her usual contempt and sarcasm. Martha felt extremely displeased. “Oh, you’re here,” she said icily. The women standing beside them had curious expressions on their faces.All the women in her social circle knew about Martha’s two daughters. On the surface, they all followed Martha and acknowledged Jessie as the only young miss of the Cole family. However, they often badmouthed the Cole family for being unreasonable and not showing their biological child the slightest bit of love. Martha’s daughter from the countryside had now returned looking like a beautiful princess. She had even brought a handsome boyfriend along with her. They would love to see how the Cole family felt about this situation! “Hello, mother-in-law.” M
“Yes, my sister works as a teacher in the village. It’s an extremely meaningful occupation!” Jessie replied. She made it seem like she was extremely close with Sonnet. Louise nodded. She looked at Sonnet and asked,” One of my friends would like to work as a volunteer teacher. Are there any conditions for one to work as a teacher in the village? Are there any minimum qualifications?” “I don’t think the qualifications will be high,” someone interrupted. The woman then asked Martha, “What kind of certification does your daughter hold?” Martha waved her hands and said, “Oh, she doesn’t have high qualifications at all.” She looked extremely embarrassed to answer their questions. The more she said so, the more curious the women were. “She must have studied a lot. You’re always humble, Mrs. Cole!” “I only have a high school certificate,” Sonnet replied with a smile. Everyone fell silent after hearing what she said. The gazes that everyone had directed at Sonnet changed sligh
“I fell in love with my wife at first sight,” Maxwell said. Everyone burst out into laughter. They all agreed that Sonnet and Maxwell were a loving couple. “In that case, which university did you graduate from, Maxwell?” Louise asked. “The banquet is beginning. Shall we first have dinner and talk about this later, Louise?” Sonnet interrupted Louise, greeted the other women and young ladies politely, and guided them to their seats. The banquet was about to begin. Harold first went on stage to give a speech. He thanked the audience for attending the banquet to congratulate his wife on her birthday. He then presented Martha with a gift in front of everyone. Harold and Martha’s children then went on stage to make a toast to their parents. After making the toast, Louise called out, “Maxwell, you should say a few words to your father-in-law!” Everyone started cheering for Maxwell as well. Sonnet frowned and feigned a joking tone as she said, “That’s enough! Stop teasing
Harold immediately asked his son to vacate his seat for Kaiden. Kaiden exchanged a few formalities with Harold. He then turned around and caught sight of Maxwell. He was slightly stunned. “Huh? Isn’t that my cousin?” One of the women suddenly asked, “Do you know Mrs. Cole’s son-in-law?” “Of course, I know him. This is…” Before Kaiden could finish speaking, Harold got up from his chair suddenly. His gaze was fixed on a spot behind Kaiden. Kaiden turned around and caught sight of a man dressed in a white and silver-colored business suit. The man was walking towards them. His expression immediately changed after seeing the man. He nodded and bent down while greeting him. “Young Master Gunn is here!” The guest that had just arrived was Hayden Gunn! There was a shocked expression on Harold’s face as well. He made his way forward to greet him, “Young Master Gunn, why are you here?” Although they had mingled into Harbor City’s upper social circle with much difficulty, they
Harold and Martha agreed with Hayden at once. They emptied the main seats on the dinner table and let Hayden take this seat. Hayden did not mind. He sat down on the main seat. Harold nodded and had a drink with Hayden courteously. Ivan wanted to join in the conversation as well, but he did not have the opportunity to do so. Hayden looked at Kaiden and asked, “Why do you look so familiar?” Kaiden immediately replied, “I’m cousins with the Brooks family. You might have seen me with the Brooks family in certain events, Young Master Gunn.”Hayden nodded and asked, “Are you friends with the Cole family as well?” Kaiden glanced at Jessie. He chuckled and said, “Yes, I work with Mr. Cole on some business.” Hayden nodded and said, “What were all of you chatting about just now? You guys should continue chatting. Don’t let me disrupt your conversation.” Kaiden nodded and said, “We weren’t talking about anything important. You can continue talking, Young Master Gunn.” Althou
Logan was less polite than Hayden. He ignored Harold and Martha as he looked at Sonnet and asked, “Are they your parents?”“Yes.” “Isn’t your father hospitalized because of cancer?”“That’s my foster father.” Sonnet paused and added, “My foster father has raised me since I was small.” Logan nodded and told Fatso, who was standing behind him, “Bring the box of premium cigars over from the car. We’ll give it to Mr. Cole as his wife’s birthday present.” “Don’t be so courteous, Mr. Scott. It’s our honor that you’re even here today!” Harold immediately said. “It’s not expensive at all. You can light the cigars whenever you feel like smoking,” Logan said as he sat down next to Hayden. The Cole family felt even more out of place now. Logan and Hayden were now the main characters of the banquet. The guests of the banquet all came over to make conversation and greet them. They all tried to take the opportunity to get on Logan and Hayden’s good sides. Logan and Hayden did not ta
