"Boss, we're here" the front driver warned.
Vanessa woke up in a daze at the sound of the voice and turned her head to look out the window at a huge fountain with a goddess holding a cute baby in the center of it, surrounded by well-manicured bushes in the courtyard.
"Wait, just stand next to me without talking and smile." Ethan pinched Vanessa's cheek.
"Got it!" Vanessa nodded in response.
By now the party was buzzing with excitement, guests in the ornate birthday ballroom were enjoying a glass of wine.
Vanessa strolled into the banquet hall with Ethan's hand on his arm, the girl's coquettishness and the man's handsomeness intertwined to create a beautiful scenery, instantly attracting everyone's eyes.
Many people in the crowd began to whisper.
"Who's the girl next to Ethan Blackwood, the head of the Blackwood family? Which family's daughter, why haven't I seen her before?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of any family that can keep their daughter under wraps for 20 years."
"Oh--"
The women in the back can not help but look at each other with a scornful smile, yes, in New York which noble person they have not seen?
On the stage, Lily Chambers, dressed in a gorgeous gown and princess tiara, saw the incredibly handsome Ethan Blackwood and her eyes lit up, but when she saw Vanessa Monroe beside him, her eyes piled up with venom, bitch!
'How dare you come in here with Ethan on your arm. '
Lily Chambers' haughty face flushed red with anger as she stormed off the raised platform and walked right up to Ethan Blackwood and Vanessa Monroe.
"Ethan, who is this?" Lily Chambers inquired with a puzzled look on her face as she pretended not to know who Vanessa Monroe was.
Ethan Blackwood raises an eyebrow, what the hell are the Chambers family selling?
"Vanessa Monroe, my secretary lady and the guest of honor specifically invited here on your invitation."
"What? My birthday party, inviting this bitch? No way!" The disguised ladylike mask on Lily Chambers' face broke at this moment and she roared out.
The ballroom was silent, and the chattering crowd turned their heads to the place where the sound was coming from.
The crowd swept over Vanessa Monroe with a measuring as well as a jesting look.
Vanessa was surprised for a moment, then a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes, and she took out the gold invitation from her handbag, her mouth full of panic, "Boss, could it be that the Chambers family's invitation was wrongly written? Then we'd better leave."
"Hmph, since the Chambers family is not welcome, it's time to leave!" Ethan Blackwood sneered and turned around with Vanessa on his arm, ready to stride away.
"Wait, Ethan! My daughter's memory is not good, the two of you are indeed the honored guests of this banquet!" A middle-aged man hurriedly came out from the crowd, this person was the current head of the Chambers family-Giovanni Chambers, also Lily Chambers' father.
"Lily, no rudeness! Apologize to Ethan!" Giovanni Chambers glared at Lily Chambers.
"I apologize, I was momentarily surprised, after all, my fiancé was holding a strange woman..." Lily Chambers apologized with a hard look on her face.
"Interruption! I don't think I'm in a relationship with Lily Chambers, let alone an unmarried couple." Ethan Blackwood interrupted Lily Chambers with a cold face.
"Miss Chambers, I'm still single, so please don't say anything that will make anyone misunderstand." Ethan Blackwood warns.
Chambers family, this time inviting him here, not only to test the waters, but also to give an inch to make the relationship between the two families directly default to a marriage.
It had turned out to be just gossip, after all, the two had never had an engagement ceremony, and the two families' businesses didn't interact.
But now, if he didn't make it clear, the whole country would know tonight that the Blackwood and Chambers families were joined in marriage.
"But . . grandpa Blackwood said we were going to get married!" Lily Chambers stared at Ethan Blackwood incredulously.
Ethan Blackwood didn't care about Lily Chambers who seemed to be about to cry out in front of him, and turned his head to look at Giovanni Chambers, this old fox, did he think that he would acquiesce to this?
Or does he think that by joining hands with Marco Blackwood, he will have the strength to bring him down and make him the puppet head of the Blackwood family?
"Mr. Chambers, not only does your daughter have a bad memory, she also has delusions of grandeur, the psychiatric department of Blackwood Hospital specializes in treating this condition, so it is recommended to let her go for a visit to avoid affecting her subsequent life."
"The Blackwood family and the Chambers family have no business dealings, not now, and even less in the future, so Mr. Chambers won't have to bother sending an invitation over next time."
Ethan Blackwood didn't give him any good looks and directly pulled Vanessa out the door to leave.
Ethan Blackwood, from the age of 21 when he took office as the head of the Blackwood family, the impression he left on the crowd was that he was iron-blooded and cold, it wasn't that there were no families that wanted to unite against him, but his ability was too strong, and the families that offended him almost disappeared in the whole of the United States' power very quickly.
The banquet hall to see these hilarious people can not help but cover their mouths and snicker, this time the Chambers family lost face lost a lot!
So hardly had the party officially begun when one after another the guests bid farewell to Giovanni Chambers, leaving behind the empty hall and the ill-faced members of the Chambers family.
"Snap!" At this moment, Giovanni Chambers with a very ugly face directly slapped his favorite daughter Lily Chambers in the face, "Stupid!"
Lily Chambers covered her swollen and painful cheek, her eyes were tears of aggression and anger, "Daddy? You hit me?!"
"Doing things impulsively without regard for the consequences! How did I give birth to such a stupid daughter like you! Don't go out this month! Stay home and reflect!" With these words, Giovanni Chambers left.
"It's all you! Vanessa Monroe, bitch! I won't let go of you and Natalie Rivers! Ethan can only be mine! And the Blackwood family will be in my hands!"
Lily Chambers yelled out as she looked at the closed door, hatred and viciousness in her eyes.
