In the blink of an eye, many people had already gathered at the event.
The two Fenderson brothers were in charge of greeting and entertaining the guests outside.
“You’re here early, Mr. Schuyler!” said most of the guests who immediately went over to greet Noah as soon as they saw him.
It was evident that to the guests, the two Fenderson brothers were nothing compared to Noah. Seeing that, the second son of the Fenderson family could only wave his hand in indignation.
It was at that moment when someone suddenly yelled, “The Long family from Yanken has sent a white jade statue here!”
“…Huh? The Longs from Yanken?”
Everyone was astonished to hear that. Why would the Long family come all the way here just to attend such an event?
While the two families had been on good terms, with the Longs even helping the Fenderson family before, both families hadn’t interacted much with each other for quite a long time.
The Fenderson’s old master himself had mostly only invited direct members and descendants of the Fenderson family to his banquet. The Longs were considered to be a foreign connection.
Everyone knew this, which was why everyone was currently discussing the matter among themselves.
Even both the Fenderson brothers were surprised by the Longs’ arrival.
“Haha! Ah, Second master and third master, the Longs have come together with the Schuylers today! The moment I heard that Lord Fenderson was hosting a banquet, I immediately notified the Long family! They’ve sent a special representative here today to pay their respects to Lord Fenderson!” explained Noah in a cold tone.
“How very bold of you, Noah Schuyler! Who was it exactly who gave you the right to invite guests over to the Fenderson family mansion? Just who do you think you are?”
Their reactions were understandable. After all, the Longs giving face to Noah and them giving face to Lord Fenderson were two completely different matters.
“Second uncle and third uncle, please don’t be angry. Since the Longs are already here anyway, we should naturally treat them as our guests. After all, the Schuylers are still affiliated under us. It shouldn’t matter whether the Schuylers or the Fendersons invited the Longs. After all, we’re all one big family. Aren’t I right, Uncle Schuyler?” said Jasmine as favonovel.com walked out with a smile on favonovel.com face.
“Hahaha! My niece, Jasmine, is truly the most sensible person here! I think the longer people live, the more backward their thinking becomes!”
“You!”
Second and Third were both feeling extremely dissatisfied now.
Before they could say another word, the Long family representative finally showed herself.
“…Huh? A woman?”
Everyone was equally surprised to see the woman—who looked to be around twenty-two— leading about a dozen people from the Long family into the banquet.
“She’s… The Long family’s second young master’s fiancée, right?”
“I think favonovel.com is! I saw favonovel.com when I attended the Long family’s second young master’s engagement banquet!”
After discussing among themselves, the guests suddenly came to a simultaneous realization. Of course the Long family’s second young master wouldn’t personally attend such an event!
“Welcome, Miss Xavia!” greeted Yael respectfully as favonovel.com walked forward together with a few others.
“Hello, Yael and Uncle Schuyler. I’ve come to pay my respects to you.”
As it turned out, the representative the Longs had sent was Xavia!
At that moment, the sound of a wine glass shattering could be heard.
Throughout the day, Gerald had been running up and down, doing odd jobs. The moment favonovel.com caught a glimpse of Xavia, favonovel.com was so shocked that favonovel.com couldn’t even hold on to his tray properly.
Why on earth was Xavia here too?
