Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Nipping It in the Bud
Translator: 549690339
It was only a few days into winter vacation when the Summers Family received an invitation: Dylan Summers’ superior’s daughter was getting engaged to the son of an energy company boss.
Yolanda Summers would not miss such a prime opportunity for social exchange.
However, Dylan was a little worried. Would people say he was biased if he only took Yolanda?
In the past, it wouldn’t have mattered, since not many people knew that the Summers Family had an adopted daughter. But now, Purple had started attending Grey International School and made friends with students from wealthy families. If Purple didn’t attend the event, people would definitely notice.
Yolanda was very unhappy, saying, “Dad, you have to think it through. With Purple’s discreditable background, won’t taking her to the banquet make us a laughingstock?!”
Either taking her out and being laughed at, or leaving her behind and being gossiped about.
Dylan was deeply troubled.
Why was it always so difficult when it came to his adopted daughter?
The engagement invitation was also sent to the Graves Residence.
Surprisingly, the groom-to-be was Gavin Graves’ cousin.
They were cousins, but their relationship was distant. Master Graves had many wives, resulting in a large number of distant relatives. The abundance of relatives made them less valued.
For such an engagement banquet, it would be a favor if Gavin attended in order to make the event more lively. No one would blame him if he didn’t go – the future family head of the Graves Family was busy with important matters. If he had to attend every cousin’s engagement banquet, he wouldn’t have any time for actual work.
However, Bella Foster felt it was a pity, as she had been waiting for such an opportunity. To attend a banquet, Gavin needed a female companion, and she believed he would be willing to bring her if she pleaded a little. She needed a chance like this to be seen together with Gavin – and for people to mistake her as Gavin’s woman.
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
But if Gavin didn’t go, she would have to keep waiting. After the new year, many families would be hosting parties, and even if Gavin only attended one, she would seize the opportunity.
Gavin asked Gerald, who was sitting next to him, “Are you going tomorrow?”
Second Young Master Graves was playing with his phone, head down, and casually said, “Me? If I go, wouldn’t I steal the spotlight from others?”
Gavin smiled at this, praising his younger brother for a rare moment of self- awareness: “At least you know yourself.”
With Gerald’s bad reputation, if he actually attended the engagement banquet, the guests would likely focus on him, overshadowing the newly engaged couple.
Gavin instructed Lester Williams, “You can attend on my behalf tomorrow and bring a gift.”
Lester nodded, then asked, “Young master, the Summers Family may also attend the engagement banquet tomorrow. If we encounter Ms. Summers, should I tell her about the information from before?”
Ms. Summers!
When Bella heard these three words, she immediately looked at Gavin’s face.
She was extremely sensitive to Purple’s existence!
After pondering for a moment, Gavin said, “There’s no need, I’ll talk to her in person another day.”
Bella’s heart sank upon hearing this!
In person?
…Did they still plan to meet alone?! What was the matter that they had to discuss face to face?
As Bella was having her inner turmoil, Gavin changed his mind, “Never mind, it’s not appropriate for me to invite her to our house either. I’ll go to the engagement banquet tomorrow and talk to her casually.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Lester nodded in agreement.

Bella bit her lower lip, her face turning pale green.
For the sake of Purple, Gavin was actually willing to attend an engagement banquet he initially didn’t want to go to…
“Bella, do you have time tomorrow?” Gavin asked her, “If you’re free, can you come with me as my female companion?”
Bella responded with a smile, “Yes, sure.”
She had finally received the opportunity she had been waiting for, but it was only because of Purple’s good fortune! There was no joy in her heart, only resentment and jealousy!
No, she couldn’t let Purple take Gavin away!
