But in front of everyone, how could she ask?
Wouldn’t that just cause discomfort for herself?
She endured for so long, pretending nothing happened, only to have it ruined by Erie.
Damn Erie!
"Erie, try this, the juice is quite nice," Benjamin quickly offered Erie a glass of juice, mindful of her heart condition, as she never touched alcohol.
"Sure." Erie wasn’t aware of any issue with what she just said, happily taking a sip, "It really is quite tasty."
Such innocent words almost made Ophelia grind her teeth in frustration.
How old is Erie now, can’t she be a bit more sensible?
Does she still think naivety is cute?
This is called stupidity!
Benjamin was trying to smooth things over, but those around them had heard Erie’s words, dealing with her was manageable, but what about Jas?
Ophelia glanced anxiously at Jas, internally resenting Erie for causing trouble for him.
"Ophelia, I’ve been too busy to ntion," Jas said smiling, "Grandpa and Grandma received another event invitation, so they can’t attend our engagent party."
Jas’ words brought a knowing smile to Ophelia’s face: "If Grandpa and Grandma have matters to attend to, surely their priority is their own affairs."
The surrounding guests also showed understanding smiles, polite yet maintaining decorum, outwardly posing no issues, but Ophelia knew they didn’t truly believe.
If it were her, she wouldn’t believe it either.
Skipping one’s grandson’s engagent party to attend another event?
This excuse is just too sham!
"Ophelia, don’t mind," Ethan supplented with a laugh, "There’s a big gathering on the ninth floor, insisting our family attends. It coincides with your engagent date, and the event can’t be postponed, so we had to let Jas’ grandparents go. That’s why they couldn’t attend your engagent party."
Ethan’s explanation changed the expressions of the surrounding guests.
They knew Ethan wouldn’t joke about a gathering on the ninth floor.
If that’s the claim... The Seymour family is really impressive, aren’t they?
Even being invited to the ninth floor’s event, it really is... solidifying everyone’s resolve to win favor with the Seymour Family.
On hearing this, Ophelia looked excitedly at Jas, her heart swelling with emotion: "Jas, you gave up that event just for , actually, we could reschedule."
"How could we?" Jas gently tapped Ophelia’s nose and replied with a smile, "Our engagent date was set long ago, and I don’t want to change it."
"Compared to that event, I find our engagent more important," Jas’ words imdiately caused a stir of envy among the won present.
Jas unhesitatingly ignored such an event just to be engaged to Ophelia, how deeply does Jas love Ophelia?
What a wonderful man, how did Ophelia manage to et him?
Watching Jas tie everything together so seamlessly, Ethan was secretly pleased.
That’s his son, truly clever.
They would never admit that the event had nothing to do with them, they received no invitation.
