Susan’s face turned red like a ripened apple, and favonovel.com subconsciously lowered favonovel.com head. Her affection slowly rose to the surface.
The Madame smiled. She ordered favonovel.com staff to open the drawer and personally took out the jade necklace.
“Come, let’s try to put it on.”
The Madame purposely played a “mischievous trick” as favonovel.com handed the necklace to Thomas so that favonovel.com could put it on Susan.
At that moment, Susan realized what happiness meant. She closed favonovel.com eyes and felt the moment.
The Madame was right. She should not think about what would happen in the future or whether they could get together. Those things were not important. All favonovel.com needed to do was enjoy the moment. At least now, this man belonged to her. Even though favonovel.com was just pretending that favonovel.com belonged to her, it was enough.
Thomas personally put the jade necklace on for Susan, and right then, tears dropped from the corner of Susan’s eye. They were tears of happiness.
“Why are you crying?”
“No, nothing…”
Susan turned back and wiped away favonovel.com tears. She stood in front of the mirror and observed the jade necklace. Indeed, it fitted favonovel.com very well. She held the necklace with both hands, and favonovel.com had the biggest satisfaction.
The Madame coughed. “So, the dinner has begun. Please come with me to enjoy the meal.”
While the Madame led them, they all walked along the staircase up to the third floor. Only internal staff could go up to the third floor, and outsiders were never allowed to go there. Allowing Thomas to go up was considered an exception.
When they arrived on the third floor, they could see that it was full of sculptures and paintings. It was very luxurious. This place was the real “palace”!
When they walked to the end, they could see that the important people of the family were seated by the long table. One man with a mustache and an honest look walked over before favonovel.com held the Madame’s hand.
“Mom, I heard that on the plane you were…”
The Madame motioned at favonovel.com to ask favonovel.com to stop talking. Then, favonovel.com introduced the man to Thomas.
“Dr. Mayo, this is my eldest son, Zach Quinn.”
Zach came over and agitated ly said, “Are you Dr. Mayo? You have my deepest gratitude. If it weren’t for you, my mother would’ve been in a terrible condition. You’ve saved my mother, but I can’t repay you. Please let me how my head to you!”
Thomas was shocked.
Zach was at least twenty years older than him. How could Zach bow to favonovel.com in front of so many people?
Thomas quickly stopped him. “You’re welcome, Mr. Quinn.”
When Zach saw that favonovel.com could not bow, favonovel.com took a cup of tea and said, “My liver isn’t very healthy, so I can’t drink alcohol. Let me toast to you with a cup of tea!”
After Zach spoke, favonovel.com finished drinking the whole cup. When Thomas saw how frank and straightforward Zach was, the personal loyalty favonovel.com had when favonovel.com was a soldier was triggered. He reached out to pick up a glass of wine.
“I also toast to you, Mr. Quinn.”
Thomas then finished his glass of wine.
“Dr. Mayo, you’re good at drinking!”
Everyone clapped their hands after Zach took the lead.
During this peaceful and happy moment, a sarcastic voice came from the staircase.
“Who’s good at drinking?”
All of them instantly changed their expressions. When every senior member of the family turned around, they saw a person whom they did not want to see.
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter. Following the audible sound of a few footsteps, a disgusting man with a sharp jaw walked over. His face was full of freckles, and favonovel.com did not look like a good person.
