Chapter 58 To the Party
Time flies. In blink of an eye, it was Sunday.
The Lewis family had long become a bustling city and all the wealthy families were giving Old Man Lewis face, for his birthday.
Jonathan and Adeline stood at the door to welcome the guests. They wanted to see what gifts these people brought. Perhaps they would be lucky enough to work with these business tycoons.
Elena looked at the cars coming and going in front of her. Most of the people here were trying to please the Lewis family, hoping that there family would be protected by the Lewis family. Ryan turned around and saw Elena staring at these people. A smile appeared in his face.
“When you saw these people, what were you thinking in your heart?”
“Flattery.”
“The world is like this, everyone admires the strong.” Ryan had been mocked and ridiculed by many people in the past few years, especially when he fell from the being the President to such a position today. He had probably seen through the world a long ago.
“I am afraid today’s banquet will not be simple, get ready.” Since he already came here, he shouldn’t be afraid of troubles.
Elena wore a gorgeous evening gown and pushed Ryan, who was wearing a suit, into the Lewis family. When Jonathan and Adeline saw Elena and Ryan, Adeline’s originally happy face revealed disdain, “The two of you really come over. Elena, look at you like this. This gown is also rented, right? Then you have to be careful, lest you get it dirty and can’t get rid of it.”
Elena smiled and held Ryan’s hand. “Aunty, did you forget? I have already married Ryan. I am the Young Mistress of Monor family. Does aunty thinks the Young Mistress of Monor family can’t even afford a formal dress? Don’t you take the Monor family seriously at all?”
“Elena, how dare you! Do you know what day it is today? Let me tell you, if you mess up with the banquet today, I will never let you go! And also I will never let your mother go!” Adeline threatened once again.
This woman actually dared to offend the Lewis family and say such words to her. It could be seen that she had been grown up and wanted to do something.
“Ah Aunt, do you really think you can threaten me with my mother? Oh right, I forget to tell you, my mother has been transferred into another hospital. As per where she has been sent to, I won’t tell you. And also you don’t need to pay for my mother’s medical expenses anymore. So don’t try to use my mother as a weapon to threaten me again in future.”
Jonathan frowned when he heard Elena’s words. The reason he didn’t want Adeline to provoke Elena was because he was afraid that Elena would be useful in the future.
But he did not expect Elena to directly transfer her mother to another hospital. If it was not for her mother’s coercion, he was afraid that there would be many things which would not be easily handled in future.
“Elena, your mother has been transferred to another hospital? Why didn’t you tell your uncle? The First People’s hospital is the best hospital center in our Hai city. If it was transferred, it will not good for your mother’s condition.”
Ryan narrowed his eyes and laughed, “Mr. Lewis really values relationships and loyalty. I’m just curious, why didn’t Mr. Lewis treat my mother-in-law well before this? On the contrary, he only cared when he heard that my mother-in-law has been transferred to another hospital.”
“Ryan, you must be joking. Elena’s father is my elder brother. It is my duty to take care of my sister-in-law. Before this, I have been paying for my sister-in-law’s medical expenses. You can’t say that I didn’t do my best.”
A hint of evasion appeared in Jonathan’s eyes. He knew it was inappropriate to say such things.
Ryan smiled faintly, “Mr. Lewis is thoughtful, but the boat has already come to an end. In the future, I don’t need the Lewis family to pay for my mother-in-law’s medical expenses anymore. Elena’s mother is my mother, so it is only right for me to take care of my mother-in-law. Don’t you think so?”
Ryan still had a smile in his face.
“Yo, why is it so crowded at the entrance? Isn’t the Lewis family welcoming guests anymore?”
Jackson and Isaac came to the scene and said when they saw the situation here was not right. Jackson continued, “Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, we are here today to congratulate the old master Lewis. Aren’t you going to welcome us?”
“Both of you have good intension. Quickly go in and enjoy the banquet.” Both Jackson and Isaac were from the top wealthy families of Hai city, so Jonathan’s attitude was very polite.
“Sigh, Mr. Lewis, you are saying this now. No, that’s not right! We saw the commotion from afar and wanted to rush over to take a look at what was going on. We didn’t expect the two of you were making things difficult for Ryan and Elena.”
“How can you say that it was difficult? Elena is my niece. How could I not treat her well? As an uncle, I naturally have to do my best for my niece.”
“I wonder if dear uncle can let his niece and son-in-law enter?” Ryan asked. He could ignore Jonathan’s face but he couldn’t ignore Elena’s.
“Of course. You are family. You don’t have to be so polite. Quickly go in and take a seat.” No matter how unwilling Adeline was, Jonathan had already spoken so she could not give up.
It was all thanks to Ryan.
Isaac and Jackson walked in when they saw there was no show to watch. Although Elena was Mason’s granddaughter, she was not favored. She was afraid that if she stayed for a long time, it would cause Mason to be unhappy.
She knew that she only owed a chance. As long as she had a chance to prove her ability, no one would look down on her.
Ryan looked at Elena and smiled, “Are you still thinking about what happened today? Don’t worry, there won’t be any problem.”
“Yes sister-in-law, there is nothing he can’t do. You don’t have to worry about these things.”
“Shut up. You’re everywhere. You have to intervene in the matters between husband and wife.”
After Jackson finished speaking, he was scolded by Isaac. Isaac then looked at Elena apologetically, “I am sorry, sister-in-law. He is always like this. I forgot to give him medicine today. You must not get angry with him. I will call the best mental center in the Hai City and ask them to take him in.”
Elena smiled. The others treated Ryan with ingratiation and disdain. They were not as sincere as the two of them.
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a man and a woman in a gorgeous dress walk into the hall. That dazzling light and impressive figure, who else could it be other than Roman and Amara?
Elena and Ryan looked at the two of them. It had to be said that Amara and Roman were very compatible. When the two of them stood there, the light would be attracted to two of them.
“Why do I feel like an old fox with a pheasant?” Jackson asked. Elena laughed it loud. “I didn’t expect you to be so humorous.”
“Sister-in-law, in the future, we must get to know each other more. I also really like your personality. When the time comes, the two of us must talk all night long.”
As long as Jackson finished speaking, Ryan looked at him with a killing gaze. Jackson was frightened and shut his mouth immediately. Ryan coughed and reminded him that Elena was already a married woman and it was best not to have a long talk at night.
Amara was wearing a gorgeous blank dress and her pretty makeup made her look like a queen in the banquet as if she was the female lead of the banquet.
After that the two of them walked in front of Mason and gave him a gift. “Grandpa, this is a gift that Roman and I have chosen together. I wish you good fortune like the long flowing water in the East Sea and longevity like the pine trees in the South Mountain.”
Mason opened the gift. He didn’t expect it to be an ancient painting from hundreds of years ago. Mason widened his eyes, “Amara, where did you find this?”
“I knew an old master painter. I accidently saw this painting and did not expect it to the real one. I bought it that time for your birthday, so I can gift it to you. I hope you like it…”
Amara had a big smile on her face and her proud expression was overflowing with words.
Mason nodded with satisfaction. “You have a filial heart. Not bad. Not bad. Your parents have taught you very well in these few years, and you have your own career. Grandpa also wishes your good will.”
Elena frowned and looked down at the painting in her hands. “Whose painting is the real one?”
“What’s wrong?”
Ryan saw Elena was muttering something and asked.
“I just saw the painting Amara gave to grandfather. It was exactly the same as our painting… One of us must be fake.” Elena could not help but frown. How could there be such a coincident? Or was it that Amara came prepared?
“Of course, it is not a coincident. If Amara says that her painting is real, then she is digging her own grave. This painting has been brought by an invisible tycoon few years ago. Coincidently, I met the invisible tycoon three years ago and bought this painting in a high price for my personal collection. However, during this period of time, I have never shown it to anyone. How could it fall into Amara’s hands?”
Ryan analyzed bit by bit. If Amara’s painting was real, then the painting in Ryan’s studio was either stolen or replaced.
