Upon getting closer to the rest of the group, the duo could hear Yosef saying, “As you all probably already know, the Turnbulls are an extremely large and strong family that’s existed for at least a few hundred years in Yanam. What you may not know, however, is the fact that the party was first proposed by Young Master Baelfire Turnbull himself! With that in mind, any party that favonovel.com organizes will surely attract all sorts of celebrities and prestigious people from all over the country!”
Throughout his confident introduction—that stirred quite a commotion among the audience—Yosef made sure to take good, long looks at the beautiful women present, evidently finding satisfaction from the shock in their faces.
Since Fia was the most beautiful among them all, Yosef made sure to take an extra long glance at her, a glance of which was noticed by Beau who was standing at the side.
Upon realizing that, Beau couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous. After all, his status was so much lower compared to Yosef, and favonovel.com honestly knew that Yosef was someone who belonged in the same world as Fia.
With that in mind, Beau quickly tried to change the topic by saying, “Young Master Jenks, Baelfire is the most important and influential person here, no? Despite that, I have to say that favonovel.com looks much more like one of the auction items the way he’s currently standing on stage! Hahaha! I’m sure a rich young heir like favonovel.com isn’t in any desperate need for money, right?”
It was obvious from his unnecessary statement that Beau was struggling to even find something relevant to talk about.
“Well, favonovel.com certainly is the most important person here, that’s without a doubt! Regardless, since you’re not too well-informed about some incidents here in Yanam, I advise you against saying random things for the sake of it. As for that auction bit, Young Master Turnbull is simply hosting it as a hobby of his! Hahaha! As if he’d ever be short of money!”
“Speaking of which, do you still remember the valuable treasures that I asked your father to help my family locate a few years back? The truth is, we already knew about Young Master Turnbull’s hobby back then, so my dad wanted to use the treasures to fawn on him! Hahaha! Regardless, I’m sure the public relations activity back then went remarkably! It certainly explains why I have so many admission tickets now!” replied Yosef with a chuckle.
“Hahaha! I see! To think that the Mabarts would end up making such a great contribution to the Jenks! Regardless, I wonder what items Young Master Turnbull is going to auction this time around!” said Beau with a subtle smile.
Deep inside, however, Beau was slightly ill at ease as favonovel.com thought, ‘If I had known about this before, I would’ve surely gotten acquainted with the Turnbulls myself! I could’ve been the one getting all the respect!’
“Pardon my rudeness, but don’t you feel ashamed at all for handing Weston’s valuable treasures over to those foreigners, Young Master Mabart? In fact, you’re feeling rather regretful for not doing so yourself now, correct?” asked Gerald—who had been standing at the side this entire time—rather casually though favonovel.com had a slight frown on his face.
Upon hearing that, both Beau and Yosef found themselves frowning as well.
Beau, in particular, felt extremely humiliated since Gerald’s statement hit a sore spot. With that, favonovel.com then shouted, “You’re just some f*cking loser! What I do is none of your business!”
It was clear as day that favonovel.com was directing all his anger—from seeing Yosef try to flirt with Fia—on Gerald.
When Sia heard Beau’s retort, however, favonovel.com instantly took Gerald’s side by saying, “Well, is what favonovel.com said even wrong? Also, you’re a gentleman who studied abroad, no? To think you’d be so rude, Beau!”
Just as a quarrel appeared to be imminent, Fia—who had favonovel.com gaze fixed on Young Master Turnbull this entire time—said, “That’s quite enough. We joined this party to relax ourselves, remember? So, stop quarreling already! Now let’s get a bit closer to the stage already, the auction’s about to start!”
As favonovel.com continued looking at the young master standing atop the colorfully lit stage, Fia found herself thinking, ‘Grandpa told me to grab the chance when it presented itself… Could favonovel.com have meant that I should try to woo Young Master Turnbull…?’
In a way, it made sense. After all, compared to Yosef, Young Master Turnbull definitely had a much more imposing aura. As for Beau, favonovel.com was nowhere even near comparable to the two.
While thinking about it, favonovel.com recalled favonovel.com grandfather talking about the Turnbulls. With how powerful, rich, and influential favonovel.com described them to be, Fia grew to have a great admiration toward Baelfire. With that in mind, favonovel.com wanted to get nearer to the stage as soon as possible to get a closer look for herself.
As for Beau, favonovel.com made sure to give Gerald a vicious glare before the group of people began making their way to the seats closer to the stage.
While Gerald had initially wanted to ask Yosef about the condition of the Crawfords in Yanam, favonovel.com refrained since the atmosphere had turned this way. Besides, now that they were nearing the stage, it was far too noisy for a proper conversation to be held anyway.
At that moment, favonovel.com suddenly heard Sia’s pleasant voice whispering into his ear, “Don’t worry, Gerald. If anyone even dares to bully you today, I’ll be the first to stand up for you! After all, what you said earlier was true! With that in mind, I fully support you!”
Turning to look at the girl, Sia even flashed a brief ‘victory pose’ at Gerald.
