Chapter 257 Ruined Reputation
Eudora George stayed home to finish her design for the next two days and she would fetch Juju to and from school.
Juju had gradually familiarized herself with the kindergarten. However, it seemed like she did not like Vincent Granger. She did not like to mention him at home.
It was a good thing for Eudora, since she had never wanted Juju to have a lot of contact with Vincent anyway.
At this moment, Auntie Valerie knocked on the door.
“Miss, the servant from the main building had come over and invited you, the Young Master, and Juju for dinner.”
Eudora was taken aback, “What’s the occasion?”
Auntie Valerie shook her head, “They did not say.”
Eudora nodded, “Okay.”
Eudora told Amos about this when he returned. He was not surprised and he said, “Let’s go then. Auntie Valerie, you should go back earlier then.”
…
Everyone was already there at the main building when the three of them arrived.
They sat in the same position as they did last time, while Tiffany Leon sat next to Eudora.
The Old Master spoke after everyone sat down, “Let’s have dinner since everyone is here. In fact, there is no special reason for dinner tonight. I just thought that we rarely have dinner together even though we are living together. So, I thought that it would be best for us to have a family gathering once every weekend.”
Ah, so this was the reason why. It was not a big deal. After all, the Old Master was seriously ill, so it was reasonable for him to request to eat with his family once a week.
Harry Granger suddenly said, “Brother, that’s such a simple request. If you want to, we can all have dinner every day!”
“That won’t be necessary. I will get annoyed if there are too many people!”
Bethany Hamilton added, “Your brother likes peace and quiet now. A family meal once per week is enough. We live in the same household and it’s not like we are unable to see each other. Let’s also have the two children visit the Old Master more often.”
Speaking of this, Harry suddenly said, “Actually, these two children have already proved their identities. Why don’t we make an announcement about it?”
Bethany was taken aback while Kaylene Yoder, who was next to her, nodded in agreement.
“That’s a good idea. The Granger family is not big. The Old Master must be in a good mood now that the family has two grandchildren.”
Eudora and Amos exchanged meaningful looks and they were a little unwilling.
What Eudora had in mind was simple. Being a child of the Granger family would bring forth too much attention and the pressure would be too much for a child. Moreover, she was not married to Amos yet, and announcing Juju’s identity to the public might not be a good thing for Juju.
Amos obviously had the same thought and he immediately said, “It’s a rush for Juju. She is my daughter. In the future, we will naturally make an announcement after Eudora and I get married.”
Harry nodded and said, “Amos is right but it’s different for Vincent. Hank left us early and it’s not good to have a child without an identity. Brother, why don’t you make an announcement about Vincent first?”
Harry’s words seemed to have stirred Bethany’s sadness. She lowered her head and reached out to wipe the corner of her eyes.
Seeing this, Old Master Granger immediately held her hand, “What do you think?”
Bethany said hurriedly, “You should decide about this matter! In fact, identity is not that important to me as long as the child is around. I’m just afraid that it would be hard for Vincent.”
It was indeed not a good thing for a child to not have a proper identity. They had to acknowledge him sooner or later since Hank Granger had already passed away.
Old Master Granger nodded, “Then, it’s decided! Harry, you should arrange this!”
Harry was taken aback, he looked visibly flattered. “Me?”
“I’m not in a good health and Amos is busy. You’re the only one who can do this, so I’ll let you do it!”
“I will make sure that everything goes well! You can rest assured!”
The event was set to happen in three days.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Everyone in Rosaville City knew that the Little Young Master of the Granger family was about to return to the family. After all, this was the Granger family, the backbone of the entire Rosaville City.
Furthermore, he was a little young boy, who was likely to be the future head of the Granger family.
Therefore, as soon as the news spread, every media and businessmen wanted to get close to him.
It was a grand ceremony in the Granger family’s new hotel, Rosaville City Hotel. Eudora did not like such an occasion but she had no choice but to go.
Eudora did not want to steal the spotlight, so she only wore a dark dress for the event and Juju had a simple dress on as well.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Tiffany in red and she looked dazzling. Everyone could see that she was in a good mood and she also wore a lot of jewelry.
Vincent was also dressed in a suit. He stood beside her and he looked like a young master.
Tiffany raised her chin to show off when she noticed Eudora staring at them.
Eudora pretended not to see it. Tiffany’s dreams were not what Eudora wanted.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, the Old Master had already made his way downstairs. He was wearing a formal suit too for such a special occasion. Behind him, Bethany pushed his wheelchair and she looked elegant in a gorgeous rose dress.
After exchanging pleasantries, the Old Master’s eyes fell on Tiffany.
The next second, his face darkened and he asked, “Why are you wearing such a bright-colored dress?”
Tiffany was taken aback. She probably did not expect the Old Master to say that. Bethany also frowned, “Aren’t you going to change another dress?”
Tiffany immediately lowered her head bitterly.
“It’s all my fault. Vincent said that I would look good in red, so I didn’t think too much about it. I’m going to change now…”
Bethany sighed, “You probably didn’t think too much about it. It’s alright. Hurry up and change. We are about to go!”
Tiffany’s face turned pale and she quickly turned to return to her room to change her clothes.
Bethany then glanced at Eudora, “Eudora is very well dressed today and Juju looks good too. Come on, Juju, come to Grandma.”
Tiffany, who had not gone far, turned back to glare at Eudora after hearing Bethany’s words. The anger in her eyes was clearer than ever.
…
Soon after, all of them rushed to the venue.
Harry had spent a lot of effort into the event. It did not only look magnificent on the outside but the interior was also heavily decorated.
Harry and Kaylene immediately went to greet Old Master Granger when he entered.
“What do you think, Brother?”
Old Master Granger looked around and nodded. “Not bad, you have done a good job. If there’s such an event in the future, I will ask you to hold it again.”
“Thank you, Brother! It’s great as long as you like it.”
After going through some of the agenda, Old Master Granger was tired and he went to the backstage to rest. After he left, Harry’s eyes finally fell on Tiffany. She had changed into a cream-white dress and looked much more low-key.
“Why are you dressed like this? Aren’t you taking the leading role today?”
Tiffany sneered, “What leading role? The Old Master didn’t like me dressing up like that. What could I do? They even liked Eudora’s dress more than mine! That stubborn old man!”
Upon hearing this, Harry was stunned, “It seems like my brother doesn’t think that highly of you.”
Tiffany’s eyes darkened, “He likes Eudora, doesn’t he? If Eudora’s reputation is ruined, would he still like her?”
