Just as he was putting away the USD and preparing to turn around, he suddenly heard a ‘plop’ sound.
He turned his head in surprise, looking in the direction of the sound.
The next second, he hurriedly rushed towards the restaurant doorway, not even having time to put down the plate in his hand, “Sister!”
Wallace’s expression seemed somewhat panicked, his steps hurried, and he nearly stumbled and fell.
At this time, the restaurant was in an uproar due to Emily suddenly falling, and everyone stood up, looking towards the front door.
“Sister? Sister!” Looking at his older sister who had suddenly fallen, Wallace was somewhat at a loss and helpless, not knowing what to do in his anxious state.
The Boss Lady of the restaurant also came over with a worried expression at this time, “Quick, hurry up and send her to the hospital!”
Upon hearing the Boss Lady’s words, Wallace promptly picked up Emily, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the hospital.
Meanwhile, at Stuart Manor.
A ‘Hongmen family feast’ officially began, with the two families sitting together at the Stuart family’s dining table. Apart from Vivian Ferguson and Angela Reid, the other three men all had their usual cold expressions, emotionless faces.
Especially Baron Stuart, who had already known about his grandpa Zachary’s ulterior motives for tonight’s arrangement.
“Alright, we’re all family, so don’t be too formal, feel free.”,” Dinner began, and Grandpa Zachary spoke, breaking the serious atmosphere with his chopsticks.
Once he spoke, the others naturally smiled as well.
Except for Baron Stuart, who remained expressionless and silent from beginning to end.
It wasn’t until Zachary spoke up that he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat tonight’s dinner.
Grandpa Zachary, sitting at the head of the table, couldn’t help but frown at his indifferent attitude!
However, due to the presence of the Walker family members, he couldn’t possibly expose his indifferent attitude on the spot, so he had to cover up the embarrassment with a smile.
“Baron.” Just as Baron Stuart was leisurely eating dinner, Zachary glanced at him and spoke meaningfully, “As the younger generation, shouldn’t you offer a toast to your father-in-law?”
Although Zachary’s tone was light, there was an inherent authority in his voice, making it hard for most people to resist his deterrence.
Upon hearing this, Baxter Walker was also slightly stunned.
Although Baxter was the elder in terms of seniority, he had to be more respectful to Baron Stuart in the business circle.
It was only after the two families got engaged that Baxter began to call Baron Stuart by his name, after all, the Stuart family dominated the business world as the emperor, and no one dared to underestimate or casually cling to them.
Hearing Zachary’s words, Baron Stuart’s hand paused for a moment as he picked up the vegetables.
Then he lifted his ink-jade-like eyes, glanced at Grandpa Zachary, and then at Baxter Walker.
As Baxter made eye contact with his emotionless gaze, he calmly smiled and said, “No need, I’ll just…”
“Hey, there’s no reason not to accept a toast from a son-in-law to his father-in-law.” Before Baxter could finish speaking, Grandpa Zachary spoke again, then looked at Baron Stuart with a cold tone, “Baron.”
Baron Stuart pursed his thin lips, put down his bowl and chopsticks, then looked up at Grandpa Zachary with an indifferent tone that showed no sense of family affection between them.
“Grandpa, I think I’ve made it clear, and I’d like you not to make such arrangements without my permission in the future.” After finishing, Baron Stuart picked up a napkin to wipe his thin lips, stood up, and said, “I’m full, you all can continue.”
After saying this, he left the dining table.
