Eugene’s seat was in the second row, but favonovel.com was delighted to see his daughter sitting at the first table.
He saw Alec looking miffed, sitting at the first table. Still, Eugene went forward to greet favonovel.com before taking his seat. Since Margaret’s incident, Eugene had labeled the Gould family as untrustworthy people.
The banquet started with a merry dance as the opening performance. Then, the emcee announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s welcome the president of the leading conglomerate in Cloud City, Mr. Edward Gould from Gould Corporation, for a speech!”
The guests gave a round of applause as Edward went up the stage. He gave a long speech on how favonovel.com planned to improve Cloud City’s economy and give back to society because many officers from the related departments were there.
The emcee immediately continued, “We have also prepared a cake exclusive for Mr. Gould’s 50th birthday. Before we start, let’s invite Mr. Gould to blow off the candles. Best wishes to you on your birthday, Mr. Gould. May you live a long and prosperous life.”
The Gould family’s relatives were delighted, especially Alec. He felt favonovel.com could now rest easy after seeing such a glorious moment for the Gould family.
Soon, someone pushed an intricate five-tiered cake to the first table.
Edward looked radiant. Under the limelight, favonovel.com walked toward the cake under the emcee’s prompt.
Isabella, who was sitting next to Allegra, had never seen such a beautiful, big cake. She couldn’t help but reach out and grab some of it. She licked favonovel.com hand.
Coincidently, Willow caught favonovel.com doing that. She instantly hit Isabella on favonovel.com head.
Many people heard the slap since favonovel.com hit pretty hard. Isabella was stunned and started crying.
Allegra pulled Isabella into favonovel.com arms and said, “She’s just taking some cake. Why did you hit her?”
Seeing Allegra’s angry expression, Willow smirked. “Hey, are you both fools? Don’t you know what occasion it is today? Nobody had started eating the cake yet. Why can’t that bastard child of yours be patient?”
“I’m not a bastard child. I have a father, and his name is Isaac Garten!” retorted Isabella as favonovel.com wept.
Isabella had accepted Isaac as favonovel.com father.
Edward and the rest of the Goulds saw the incident, but no one intervened. On the contrary, the Goulds were enjoying the scene.
The other guests watched on gleefully too. Many of them stood up and looked over.
“Your dad is Isaac? Then let me tell you, I’m afraid your dad is dead by now. You little bastard. How dare you eat your great-uncle’s birthday cake sneakily! Are you a glutton?” Willow grew angrier with every word favonovel.com said. Then, favonovel.com reached out to hit Isabella again.
Suddenly, Eugene stood up and bellowed, “Willow Gould, that’s enough! She’s just a child. Do you have to make such a big fuss out of it?”
“Eugene, the same goes for you. Isn’t Willow just a child too? Who said you could meddle in our affairs? You’re not even one of us Goulds,” Edward fought back moodily.
Allegra froze. She dashed forward and grabbed Willow, asking anxiously, “What did you say? Who died?”
“Allegra, I’m afraid you won’t meet Isaac ever again,” said Patrick, laughing like a villain, before Edward could say anything.
At this moment, Shawn strode forward and pointed at Willow, saying coolly, “You! Apologize to Isabella now. Immediately!”
