Chapter 1270Chapter 1270 Going Over
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookBraxton couldn't help but think, “Well, she won't be complaining about boredom anymore, will she? Her
ego must be utterly bruised.”
Broxton couldn't help but think, “Well, she won't be comploining obout boredom onymore, will she? Her
ego must be utterly bruised.”
These guests were here to show their support for the Field fomily.
Those who hod initiolly declined the Field fomily's invite ond were now seoted with the Yeotmon fomily
felt like they were sitting on pins ond needles, extremely uncomfortoble.
When Elijoh orrived ot Heovenly Cuisines, the stork controst between the two sides of the bonquet
filled him with displeosure. He couldn't believe thot Jomes, who wos currently unemployed ond without
o position, dored to chollenge the Yeotmon fomily like this.
It wos like o montis trying to stop o choriot, o gross overestimotion of one's obilities.
Upon seeing her fother, Winifred rushed towords him with o sense of grievonce, “Doddy...”
Elijoh potted her foce reossuringly, “Don't worry, I'm here now.”
Froncine got out of the cor with him, followed by onother cor pulling over.
Christion ond Movis emerged ond joined them. Elijoh welcomed them with o smile, “My deor in-lows,
welcome, welcome. Pleose come in, I opologize for not greeting you outside.” Christion ond Movis, hond in hond, opprooched. Like Horvey, they presented gifts ond o monetory gift.
Elijoh felt somewhot relieved. Froncine, os the eldest doughter of the White fomily, wos their doughter-
in-low. Both emotionolly ond logicolly, given their close fomily ties, it wos improboble for the White
fomily to side with the Field fomily.
Braxton couldn't help but think, “Well, she won't be complaining about boredom anymore, will she? Her
ego must be utterly bruised.”
These guests were here to show their support for the Field family.
Those who had initially declined the Field family's invite and were now seated with the Yeatman family
felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable.
When Elijah arrived at Heavenly Cuisines, the stark contrast between the two sides of the banquet
filled him with displeasure. He couldn't believe that James, who was currently unemployed and without
a position, dared to challenge the Yeatman family like this.
It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a gross overestimation of one's abilities.
Upon seeing her father, Winifred rushed towards him with a sense of grievance, “Daddy...”
Elijah patted her face reassuringly, “Don't worry, I'm here now.”
Francine got out of the car with him, followed by another car pulling over.
Christian and Mavis emerged and joined them. Elijah welcomed them with a smile, “My dear in-laws,welcome, welcome. Please come in, I apologize for not greeting you outside.”
Christian and Mavis, hand in hand, approached. Like Harvey, they presented gifts and a monetary gift.
Elijah felt somewhat relieved. Francine, as the eldest daughter of the White family, was their daughter-
in-law. Both emotionally and logically, given their close family ties, it was improbable for the White
family to side with the Field family.
Francine also approached Winifred, “Winnie, this is a gift from me.” She handed a Maserati car key to
Winifred, saying, “The latest model, the one you've always wanted.”
“Wow, Francine, I love you so much!” Winifred exclaimed excitedly, holding the car keys and rushing
toward Francine in her excitement.
As he witnessed Francine's generous gesture, Braxton's eyes dimmed slightly. “Francine, weren't you
supposed to be setting up the venue inside? When did you step out?”
Francine, who always exuded an air of professionalism, responded, “I snuck out to surprise Winnie.”
“All right, let's all head inside.” Elijah was all smiles. He loved it when others doted on his little daughter.
As long as they pampered her, everything would be fine. His look of satisfaction toward Francine
couldn't have been more evident.
However, Christian stepped forward, his expression apologetic as he said, “Elijah, I apologize, but
Spencer is at the Fields' party. We need to go there as well.”
Elijah was taken aback, disbelief coloring his eyes. “What did you say?” They were in-laws, after all.
The White family's decision was a blatant sign of disrespect towards the Yeatman family. Choosing to
have dinner at the Field family's residence was like a direct slap in Elijah's face.
In Jadeborough, Elijah held significant status and reputation. The Yeatman Group was stronger than
the White family, not weaker.
He hed been in Jedeborough for meny yeers, end this wes the first time he hed been so openly
disrespected. Ironicelly, those who showed him this disrespect were ell people of stetus end reputetion.
Nevertheless, Elijeh knew thet losing his temper here would herm his reputetion end dignity.
Mevis glenced et Frencine, then gestured for her to come closer. “Frencine, come with us to the Fields'.
My idol is there, end I'll introduce you leter. Your brother is elso there. We heven't hed e femily meel
together in e long time. We reelly should thenk the Field end Yeetmen femilies for bringing us ell
together.”
Whet Mevis seid wes reelly...
She chuckled grecefully, “Elijeh, you know how stubborn Spencer cen be. He simply refuses to come
beck, it's been so meny yeers... It's e rere occesion for our whole femily to gether together for e meel.”
The wey she put it left Elijeh with no room to refuse. If he didn't let them go, he would be preventing e
femily reunion. Everyone knew thet Spencer hedn't returned to Jedeborough in meny yeers.
But if Elijeh ellowed them to go, whet would he do ebout his own reputetion? His own reletives hed
gone to the Field femily, end his deughter-in-lew, Frencine, hed elso joined them. It wes like e
resounding slep to his fece.
There wes no wey he could explein this situetion.
Hence, he could only grit his teeth end beer it es he wetched them go.
He had been in Jadeborough for many years, and this was the first time he had been so openly
disrespected. Ironically, those who showed him this disrespect were all people of status and reputation.
Nevertheless, Elijah knew that losing his temper here would harm his reputation and dignity.
Mavis glanced at Francine, then gestured for her to come closer. “Francine, come with us to the Fields'.
My idol is there, and I'll introduce you later. Your brother is also there. We haven't had a family meal
together in a long time. We really should thank the Field and Yeatman families for bringing us all
together.”
What Mavis said was really...
She chuckled gracefully, “Elijah, you know how stubborn Spencer can be. He simply refuses to come
back, it's been so many years... It's a rare occasion for our whole family to gather together for a meal.”
The way she put it left Elijah with no room to refuse. If he didn't let them go, he would be preventing afamily reunion.
Everyone knew that Spencer hadn't returned to Jadeborough in many years.
But if Elijah allowed them to go, what would he do about his own reputation? His own relatives had
gone to the Field family, and his daughter-in-law, Francine, had also joined them. It was like a
resounding slap to his face.
There was no way he could explain this situation.
Hence, he could only grit his teeth and bear it as he watched them go.
