Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Birthday Banquet 2

"Oh, what could be more urgent now than the old man’s birthday banquet?" Amelia Bailey approached, her voice sharp and mocking with a sneer.

"Our Waylon surely knows the importance of the old man’s birthday banquet, but Little Hope already said Waylon went to handle an urgent matter. Do you think our Waylon is just like someone from your family, aimlessly idle and loafing around?"

Alitzel Williams always had a sharp tongue. She used to overlook it because of their relationship, but now she did not indulge her anymore.

"How is our Xavier idle and loafing around? Make yourself clear."

Alitzel scoffed sarcastically, "Yes! Your Xavier is not loafing around, he is busy drinking and having fun in clubs and bars every day, not idle at all, yes, yes, I was wrong, haha."

"You! Alitzel, I am your sister-in-law, how can you speak to me like that?"

Hope Williams glanced at her, smiled lightly and responded, "Aunt Bailey, you better not call yourself sister-in-law anymore. Our families have no relation."

"Wow, you two, on such a grand day as the old man’s birthday banquet, speaking so distantly about ’your family’ and ’our family’, aren’t you afraid of making the old man feel cold-hearted?"

Upon seeing this, Vivia Fuller and her sister stepped forward and spoke, "Miss Williams, what you said is indeed too impersonal, after all, we are family, how can you speak like that?"

Amelia’s expression turned grievous when someone spoke on her behalf.

Hope Williams glanced at them coldly and scoffed, "If the two of you are here as guests, please have a seat. If you’re here to meddle, please roll back where you came from."

"Enough, what are you arguing about at the old man’s birthday banquet?" Christopher Lewis came out frowning and scolded softly. Although he said ’you all’, Hope could tell how much was directed at her.

Hope wasn’t one to make a fuss, but when people came to cause trouble, she wasn’t one to suffer in silence.

She turned back to Christopher, her voice noticeably cold, "Do you think I said something wrong?"

Christopher frowned, meeting Hope’s aggressive eyes, and he snorted heavily, "Are you going to keep causing a scene?"

"I don’t want to make a scene at this kind of occasion, but some people do. If I compromise, they will only get worse, what do you think?"

Christopher gritted his back teeth, this woman really had a sharp tongue.

Seeing the standoff, Vivia stepped forward with a gentle smile, "Uncle Lewis, don’t be angry, this is a minor issue and not worth making an unsightly scene. I think the other guests are almost here, we shouldn’t linger on this."

Christopher’s expression softened slightly at Vivia’s graceful demeanor, and he nodded, "Hmm."

"What a poser of grace and elegance," Alitzel rolled her eyes disrespectfully and pulled Hope away.

If it wasn’t for the long-standing friendship between the Fuller and Lewis families, she really wanted to throw this disgusting creature out.

Vivia Fuller, "..."

Christopher gritted his teeth, "Don’t stoop to her level."

"The bad grandpa can’t differentiate right from wrong." Luke and Willow hummed in dissatisfaction and ran upstairs to complain to great-grandfather.

Christopher, "..."

Gradually the entrance of the Lewis family’s old mansion was bustling with guests, all notable figures from the Emperor Capital.

Hope Williams stood confidently with Alitzel at the entrance, welcoming the guests.

"This must be Young Madam Lewis? She is so beautiful and has such a great presence, Alitzel, your Waylon is really fortunate."

"Yes, Waylon is indeed very fortunate to have married Little Hope." Alitzel held Hope’s hand, endorsing the compliments from others towards Hope with a fully smiling face showing her satisfaction and fondness without hiding.

Seeing Alitzel so pleased with her daughter-in-law, naturally, everyone regarded Hope even more highly.

And they had all heard about last night’s events.

They knew this woman was not someone to be trifled with, and she indeed had the backing of Waylon Lewis and Alitzel Williams.

With this in mind, everyone’s attitude towards Hope was even more respectful, with endless compliments and flattery.

"Miss Hope Williams is really beautiful, her figure is so good too, her clothes look so pretty on."

"Yes, her figure really is enviable."

Some young ladies from other distinguished families came up affectionately calling her ’sister’, but their eyes were full of disdain and hypocrisy.

Hope observed all of this, nodding with a light smile, indifferent and not intending to cater excessively.

Alexander Knox and Old Lady Mrs. Knox arrived soon after, with the old lady showing an ever-welcoming smile towards Hope, seemingly very pleased with what she saw.

"Grandma Knox," Hope called softly.
