Sometimes, women can be so unreasonable. Purple Summers had only interacted with Gavin Graves two or three times, but it made Bella Foster extremely cautious.
However, sometimes, a woman’s intuition can be frighteningly accurate.
Bella Foster was certain that Gavin Graves had taken a liking to Purple Summers. She was unsure how long this affection would last, and whether it would later ferment into love, but she had to nip this in the bud!
After learning about the engagement dinner from Dylan Summers, Purple Summers refused to go, as she had no interest in attending such social events.
However, on the day of the engagement dinner, when Yolanda Summers was dressing up and preparing to leave, she found Purple Summers already sitting in the car.
“Pretentious!” Yolanda cursed Purple in her heart.
She clearly wanted to go but pretended not to care. Yolanda felt very disdainful of Purple, thinking she was small-minded!
Actually, Purple didn’t really plan to go initially…
But later, she received a call from Jane McCain. With her well-informed sources, Jane knew that the Summers Family had been invited and asked if Purple would go.
Since Purple hadn’t been able to attend Jane’s Christmas party during the holidays, she felt she owed it to her friends. Hearing that Zara Jameson would be there too, she agreed to attend the dinner, thinking it was a chance for a long overdue reunion.
That was all, nothing as complicated as Yolanda had assumed.
The engagement dinner for Gavin Graves’ cousin was held at Inscription Grand Hotel in Clearwater City.
Both families involved in this marriage alliance were wealthy and influential. Almost all the celebrities in Clearwater City were invited, and luxury cars filled the hotel entrance, attracting many media reporters. The scene was as lively as a red carpet event in the entertainment industry.
Upon arriving, Dylan Summers got out of the car, pondering how to offer his congratulations with warmth but without appearing obsequious.
At that moment, a man and woman approached. The man was tall and slender, wearing a light grey suit and exuding an elegant aura, while the woman was beautiful with an ethereal appearance.
Dylan was first stunned, then his back straightened nervously!
It was Gavin Graves!
As the future family head of the Graves Family, Gavin was the most respected and promising man in Wheatley, without a doubt!
As for the Howard Family’s family head…Dylan took him as just a man in his fifties. Half-dead people, no matter how prominent, couldn’t be said to have a future and were no match for Gavin!
Gavin walked up to Dylan, smiled and said, “Mr. Summers, nice to see you.”
Gavin didn’t shake hands with Dylan, just greeted him simply. But even this was enough to shock everyone!
Dylan was stunned, his heart pounding!
He’d only seen Gavin in the news before. When Lester Williams visited the Summers Family last time, Dylan had been extremely nervous. He never expected that such a highly esteemed person would take the initiative to greet a small director-general like him!
What was happening? Was the Summers Family tomb producing green smoke?!
“…Young Master Graves, hello, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Because of his nervousness, Dylan’s voice was dry.
Gavin’s gaze swept past Dylan and said, “Ms. Summers is graceful, virtuous, and intelligent. It’s obvious that the Summers Family has a profound background, worthy of being a hundred-year-old family.”
Yolanda was delighted by these words, almost unable to stand still!
Dylan hurriedly replied humbly, “Not at all, Young Master Graves is too kind.”
Uninformed people might think Gavin was praising Yolanda, but anyone with discernment would notice that Gavin was saying “Ms. Summers” instead of “young lady.”
Dylan’s boss, father of the bride-to-be, upon hearing that Gavin had arrived, rushed out to welcome him without the slightest delay.
He also invited Dylan in.
Seeing his usually arrogant boss act like a grandchild in front of Gavin, Dylan couldn’t help but feel proud. At the same time, he felt a sense of loss: If only the Summers Family had such a powerful marriage ally, how great would that be…
Purple Summers followed Dylan and glanced thoughtfully at Bella Foster, who was standing beside Gavin Graves.
