Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Chapter 429 How Did Jade Carlson Come_l

Dylan Summers intentionally raised his voice, wishing the entire banquet hall to know that Mr. Williams had come to attend the Summers Family banquet!

Lester Williams still appeared amiable, “I hope Mr. Summers doesn’t find my sudden visit presumptuous.”

“How could I?!” Dylan laughed continuously, “Your arrival truly graces us.”

Purple Summers remembered Jane McCain saying that Young Master Graves might like her, and now that Lester Williams had arrived, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Dylan couldn’t possibly invite Lester Williams himself, the difference in their status was far too great, and offering an invitation would be akin to humiliating himself, so… had Lester come on his own initiative today?

Lester Williams offered the gift box, saying, “This is Young Master Graves’s New Year’s greeting gift, wishing Mr. Summers great fortune in the New Year.” “Young Master Graves is too kind, even preparing a gift!” Dylan once again exaggerated his tone as he spoke loudly.

After delivering the gift, Lester Williams exchanged pleasantries with Dylan for a moment before taking his leave.

Dylan personally saw Lester Williams out, and upon his return, several of his colleagues immediately approached, raising their glasses and saying, “Dylan, you must remember to help us out once you’ve made it big.”

Dylan beamed, deflecting with modesty, “Please don’t misunderstand, I’ve only met Young Master Graves a few times.”

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, “You’ve met Young Master Graves?!”

In Clearwater City, there were only a handful of people who had the status to meet with Young Master Graves!

Several people praised Dylan even more.

Purple Summers, on the other hand, was relieved. Lester Williams’s visit had not involved giving her a gift or mentioning her name, sparing her from becoming the target of everyone’s envy.

Now that she thought about it, Jane McCain had probably been exaggerating on the phone.

Young Master Graves liking her? Ha, impossible.

Purple Summers laughed and shook her head.

The music paused for a moment, and shortly after, the band switched to a more upbeat tune. The banquet hall was filled with delightful music, as well as the scent of baked goods and wine.

Purple Summers paid careful attention, noting that the food and drinks, cutlery and plates, everything was of the highest quality. The floor was covered with luxurious wool carpets, vases bloomed with fresh flowers, and even the grand, retro crystal chandelier in the center of the hall shone more brilliantly than usual, with each crystal stone gleaming like a resplendent gem.

To host a spring banquet, Dylan Summers truly spared no expense.

But being someone who valued face above all, more than anything else, he would definitely go all out to ensure the banquet was a success to avoid being laughed at by his peers.

It was also fortunate that this was the Summers Family, for how could Dylan afford such a luxurious banquet on his modest income?

Unconsciously, Purple Summers’s thoughts drifted far away.

Before long, Zara Jameson and Jane McCain also arrived, with Zara coming alongside her mother and Jane arriving alone, accompanied only by her dog.

With a coat black and glossy, and eyes bright and alert, it was a very spirited Doberman.

Jane introduced him, “His name is Max, or you can call him Su Su. Let’s see later who’s smarter between him and Cleo!”

Purple Summers couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Forget it, he might as well compete with Tiny.” She had no expectations for Cleo’s intelligence.

“That’s fine,” Jane said with enthusiasm, “Let’s have all three of them compete together.”

Zara laughed too, “A bird, a dog, a snake – how will we compare them?”

With too many guests in front, Purple led Jane and Zara to the back garden, sparing the dog the confinement of the noisy banquet hall.

Just then, as the snow stopped, the three girls cheerfully headed outside, only to be met by the arrival of more guests—

Dylan Summers personally came out to meet them, his face full of smiles, “You’ve traveled a long way! Please, come in, come in!”

Purple’s steps involuntarily faltered.

She saw a group of people surrounding a noble lady as she slowly walked forward, with Jade Carlson accompanying the noble lady by her side.

Why had Jade Carlson come?
