A few seconds later, everyone’s eyes turned green with envy!
Ten billion dollars was only an estimate!
How many jackpots did one have to win to earn that amount?
No one was as shocked as the Goulds.
A minute ago, Allegra was an unfilial granddaughter. But now, favonovel.com had become Watson’s foster daughter.
Allegra’s eyes widened. Her eyes sparkled as favonovel.com looked up at Watson, who was smiling at her. Then favonovel.com turned toward Isaac and realized everyone had their eyes on her. She was still letting the announcement sink in.
However, the guests had already come to their senses. They started walking toward Allegra, grinning, each holding a glass of wine.
“Miss Booth, I never believed that you were someone unkind. I’m the general manager of Hondes Mechatronics. Here’s to you!”
“Miss Booth, we used to study at the same university. It’s a pleasant surprise to meet you here. Cheers!”
“Miss Booth, please accept my apology. The Gould family was clearly misleading us moments ago. Damn, Old Alec! He made you sound like a monster. I’m at fault for believing him!”
In an instant, flattering words bombarded Allegra. It was the complete opposite of what favonovel.com had experienced just moments ago when everyone criticized her.
Edward gritted his teeth. He was bursting with anger.
Were these people not supposed to be celebrating Alec’s big day today?
How did that widow become the center of attention instead?
Damn these fickle-minded people!
“Old Alec, did you arrange for my foster daughter to sit with those beggars?” Watson looked at the dumbfounded Alec.
Alec shook his head. “Of-of course not, Mr. Kane.”
Randall frowned. Mr. Kane was acting weird today.
“Mr. Murray, do you have differing opinions?” Watson glanced at Randall.
“Most certainly not. I was just pondering.” Randall smiled.
“Old Alec, I think Allegra and favonovel.com friend should join me at this table,” Watson said casually.
Alec did not dare to refuse. He could only swallow his vexation. Then, Alec led the Gould family to the last table at the far back.
A few beggars were enjoying their meal but sprung up from their seats and stood aside.
Why was it so hard for them to eat in peace?
“M-Miss Allegra, please have a seat at the front table,” uttered Alec with much difficulty. He saw Allegra’s reddened eyes.
Margaret came before her, favonovel.com face full of smiles. “Sweetie, your grandfather is here to bring you to the table at the front. Come on, let’s go. This table is too messy.”
“Allegra, let’s enjoy the feast together! How can you sit among these beggars?” Andrew understood his mother’s intention and smiled flatteringly at Allegra.
It was not until now that Allegra had a deeper understanding of how fake and ironic favonovel.com mother and brother were. She took favonovel.com hand out of Margaret‘s grasp and looked at Isaac.
“Well, since they’re so earnest, why don’t we join them?” Isaac smiled.
“Let‘s go, then,” said Allegra. She held Isaac’s hand and got up.
Hand in hand, they moved from the back right up to the front, with the Goulds following behind them without a word. They took their seats beside Watson.
Allegra was nervous. It was favonovel.com first time being so close to a big shot like Watson.
But soon enough, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com was not the only one feeling nervous. Mr. Kane’s hand was trembling as favonovel.com held his glass. In fact, the calmest among them was Isaac.
