Chapter 116
“So you have difficulty choosing.”
Frank laughed, “No matter what clothes my sister wears, she can shine and dazzle the whole room.”
But he still helped his sister choose a dress. “Yemmy, wear this one.”
“Okay.”
Yemmy trusted her brother’s judgment and happily took the evening gown to change into.
When she came out after changing, Frank whistled a few times and praised, “My sister is truly stunning. Tonight, I’ll have to follow you closely, acting as your flower protector and driving away admirers.”
Yemmy blushed, “Brother, you’re teasing me again.”
Her birthday party was so grand, it also had the meaning of choosing a son-in-law for her.
She used to like Charles and pursued him relentlessly, even though Charles never responded to her. Her family tacitly approved of her behavior and even helped her create opportunities to be alone with Charles, hoping for a union with Winston.
Unfortunately, Charles had an accident.
He fell from heaven to hell in an instant.
For a man, not being able to be a man anymore was falling into hell.
Yemmy couldn’t let go of her feelings for Charles, but she didn’t want to marry him either. She didn’t want to be a widow for the rest of her life. When she was jealous of Charles’s special treatment of Zelda, she was crazy with jealousy. But on the other hand, she tacitly allowed her family to arrange for her, using tonight’s banquet as an opportunity to find a suitor among the young talents of River Town.
There was always someone who could match Charles, right?
For example, Vinson, the head of the Rovella family.
As soon as Charles had an accident, Yemmy set her sights on Vinson, but that man with the peach blossom eyes was just like Charles, difficult to approach.
Fortunately, tonight, Vinson will attend her birthday party.
“Brother, do you think Charles will come?”
Yemmy asked hesitantly.
“Yemmy, Charles is already like that. You shouldn’t think about him anymore. Even if he comes, so what? If he comes, will you spend the whole night by his side? He can’t bring you happiness now. You should forget about him quickly.”
After a moment of silence, Frank said again, “Charles won’t come. He didn’t like attending parties before, and now he won’t even anymore.”
Yemmy was very disappointed.
She was greedy, targeting Vinson, but couldn’t let go of Charles.
It would be best if she could have both men. Even if Charles couldn’t perform, just looking at his face would make Yemmy feel happy.
“Yemmy, Vinson will come. This is already rare. Seize the opportunity well.”
Rovella and Winston were archenemies. Although Winston didn’t participate in the war between the two major groups, they were somewhat biased towards Winston because of Yemmy’s affection for Charles.
This time, by sending an invitation to Vinson on Yemmy’s birthday, it was a proactive gesture of goodwill towards Rovella, and Vinson’s acceptance would mark the beginning of the exchange between the two major groups.
Of course, the cunning Winston wouldn’t truly join forces with the Rovella until Yemmy had married into the Rovella.
Leaving himself a way out.
“Frank, I understand.”
Yemmy nodded, then smiled, “I still need to do my makeup. You go downstairs first and see if Elle has arrived.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Frank said, “There are so many people greeting guests, no need for me to wait at the door myself.”
With that, he began to walk away.
“Frank is just being stubborn. Be careful, Elle might be stolen away by someone else. I think she and Burton are a good match. They knew each other first and have known each other for several years. Frank, you need to step up your game. First, you need to confess your feelings to her, let her know you like her.”
Frank confidently said, “The one I’ve set my eyes on, no one can steal her away unless I give up on her. Burton?”
Frank sarcastically said, “Isn’t Burton the one interested in Zelda? A woman as proud and intelligent as Elle wouldn’t like Burton.”
His social status is better than Burton’s, and he doesn’t look bad either. As long as he confesses to Elle, she will definitely agree to date him.
“Yes, yes, you’re the best. Go quickly and wait for my future sister-in-law.”
Yemmy teased Frank before focusing on her makeup.
The Roscente sisters didn’t speak much along the way. When they were close to the Granger family’s residence, Elle asked, “Zelda, what gift did you prepare for Yemmy?”
Zelda looked at the gift Elle had placed beside her and picked up the set of cosmetics she had prepared, replying, “I don’t know what kind of gift Yemmy likes, so I prepared a set of cosmetics. Most women like cosmetics, so giving cosmetics should be safe.”
Upon hearing this, Elle’s eyes flashed with mockery, but she smiled, “True, most of us girls like cosmetics and skincare products. You can’t go wrong with giving them.”
“As we arrive at the Granger family, there are many vehicles, and we’ll have to queue to get in.”
