Early morning, Allegra got dressed, brought favonovel.com gift, and left for the hotel.
Her gift for Alec was a complete set of supplements worth a month’s salary. It was a special occasion, and bringing a gift was substantial.
When favonovel.com passed through the living room, Isaac got up. She immediately said, “I’m attending my grandfather’s birthday celebration. You can just stay here.”
“Do you not want me to accompany you?” Isaac frowned slightly.
“I’m more worried about you causing a commotion if you go. Just wait here. There’s food in the fridge if you’re hungry,” Allegra voiced favonovel.com concern and left.
A short while later, Isaac dialed Beefy Bob’s number.
“Allegra left. Follow favonovel.com quietly. Call me if anything comes up.”
Hibiscus Pavilion was the favorite hangout spot of the nobles in Cloud City because its owner was Big Anthony. Not only did it have an elegant ambiance and delectable food, but it was also free from any disturbances.
The hotel was well-decorated to celebrate the occasion. Merry throngs of nobles and socialites crowded the entrance. Allegra was nervous. Then, favonovel.com thought of favonovel.com mother’s words and gathered favonovel.com courage.
The ballroom on the fifth floor was already full of people. Everyone took their seats according to the numbered tables. Those sitting at the front were people of powerful backgrounds and capabilities.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Allegra. Who gave you the courage to come?” said Willow, who was just back from the hospital, with a voice loud enough to attract attention.
The Booth and the Gould family were all there.
“It’s Grandpa’s birthday, why can’t I come? Anyway, Mom invited me.” Allegra’s temper rose at Willow’s tone.
Willow responded with a leer. “Grandpa? Said the b*tch who let favonovel.com man harm favonovel.com family. Who are you to call favonovel.com ‘Grandpa’? There’s no place for you in the Gould family!” mocked Willow, folding favonovel.com arms.
The rest of the Gould family stood aside, sniggering.
Allegra’s eyes reddened with rage. Her brother, Andrew, was with them, ignoring favonovel.com situation. She turned around to leave.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Willow lunged at Allegra and snatched favonovel.com gift away.
“Is this for Grandpa? Let me see what gift you got for him.” Willow tore open the gift box with a nasty smile.
Andrew chimed in, “It could be something cheap favonovel.com bought from a roadside stall. At least the box looked nice.”
“Andrew, you weren’t like this when you came to my house the other day. How can you do this? I emptied my wallet for this set of supplements.” Allegra looked at Andrew with reddened eyes.
She did not dare to take back favonovel.com gift in case of damaging it.
Willow finally unveiled the gift. She took out the supplements and laughed. “And you expect me to believe the likes of you emptying your wallet for Grandpa, huh? I don’t believe you. These must all be fake. Grandpa may fall sick after taking them.”
Willow let the supplements drop and trampled on them.
“Whoops, it seems like your gift is gone. How about you be gone too?” Willow shrugged, looking conceited.
The Gould family burst out laughing.
At this moment, Edward appeared. He glared at Willow and scolded, “Stop it. Why are you bullying Allegra?”
He walked toward Allegra and asked nicely, “Where‘s your boyfriend?”
Allegra was sobbing and feeling bewildered. “I… I was worried favonovel.com may stir up trouble, so I asked favonovel.com to stay home.”
Edward frowned. He did not expect Isaac to be absent.
He pointed behind favonovel.com and said softly, “Leave the supplements. Your grandfather won’t accept anything from you, anyway. Oh, right. Your seat is at the table at the far back. Your grandfather set up those tables for beggars as charity. I believe your place is with them.”
He was implying that Allegra had no right to be among them. The Gould family roared with laughter again.
Allegra could not hold back favonovel.com tears as favonovel.com stooped and picked up the supplements. After dabbing them clean, favonovel.com put them back in the damaged box.
Someone reached out from nowhere and grabbed favonovel.com wrist. She heard a lowered voice saying, “Leave it. None of them are worthy of your gift.”
