Karine James used her imagination to cook up a believable lie.
As expected, Lucy Williams flared up the moment she heard that. “Did she really say that?”
“Of course, Grandma.”
“No, I have to call her. Who does she think she is? Does she think she can look down on us just because she’s earned a bit of money now?” As Lucy Williams said that, she whipped out her phone and was about to make the call.
Just then, Karine James snatched the phone away. “Let me help you, Grandma.”
Then, she pretended to make a call. After a while, she turned to her grandma. “She’s not picking up..”
Weston Shaw added, “Grandma, Yvette Larson is too much! She’s just the Larson Corporation’s CEO. How could she ignore your calls?”
Weston Shaw couldn’t help but fan the flames.
Then, Karine James even said that the signal was poor, so she left with the phone.
About ten minutes later, she returned and handed the phone back to her grandmother. “Grandma, I’ve tried calling her a few times, but she’s not picking up.”
“Forget it. Why should we try calling such an ingrate?”
Of course, Karine James hadn’t gone out to make a call to her cousin. It was to remove the SIM card from her grandma’s phone.
Now, she wouldn’t be able to make any calls at all, much less to Yvette Larson.
Lucy Williams fumed but could only accept the fact. She put away her phone.
“Grandma, don’t get upset. Think about Nathan Yeats. He’s so young and capable. He already has his own company and earns hundreds of thousands every year. When the time comes, I’ll make sure he’s filial to you! Oh right, Nathan was the one who reserved a spot for us at La Lune Hotel tomorrow too. Chloe Yeats is the boss there.”
“Nathan is a VIP at La Lune Hotel—we’ll definitely be treated well there. Tomorrow, we’ll head to the top floor of the hotel for a meal and enjoy the scenery of Los Angeles.”
Karine James’s words pleased the old lady. “Alright, alright. Karine, you really found a good son-in-law for our family. That kid is pretty impressive—he already has a company at such a young age. Once you get married, I’ll hand over the position of family head to you two.”
The old lady made it seem as though the James family was a prominent family and that she was handing over something precious.
…
In Chloe Yeats’s villa.
Linda James rushed over to her son-in-law’s room with her phone.
Thankfully, Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson were merely chatting. Otherwise, it would’ve been awkward.
“Mom, what are you doing? Can’t you knock?”
Linda James didn’t say much before handing her phone over. “Hurry up and take a look. Is my phone spoiled? Why can’t I get through to your grandma?”
Finn Taylor took it over and tested it.
It was true.
He then tried making a call to himself—it got through.
“I don’t think it’s a problem with your phone. Something is wrong with Grandma’s phone.”
“Something is wrong with Grandma’s phone? What do you mean?” Linda James was still confused.
“Mom, I’ll be honest with you. Your amazing brother told Grandma that we never came to Los Angeles and isn’t intending on attending her birthday celebrations. Moreover, they intend on holding the celebrations at La Lune Hotel tomorrow, not at home. Even if we go to their house, we won’t catch them.”
Linda James was stumped. She had never thought that her brother would be so brutal. “That won’t do. I must go over to tell Mom all about this now!”
“What’s the point in doing that? We’ll naturally have our ways of dealing with them tomorrow.”
Linda James was still in a daze. “What do you mean?”
“You’ll see tomorrow.”
Linda James took her phone back. Although she still didn’t understand what was going on, she chose to trust her son-in-law.
What Finn Taylor had done in the past had left a deep impression on Linda James. Now, she had full trust in his abilities.
The next day, the James family arrived at the old lady’s house.
Nathan Yeats had arranged for several cars, and they all got in.
The cars quickly arrived at La Lune Hotel.
As Nathan Yeats brought the drivers to the parking lot, the James family decided to head into the hotel first.
However, they were stopped at the door. “I’m sorry. Our hotel has been reserved for the day. We’re not open to outsiders.”
The James family glanced at each other.?‘What’s going on?’
“Oh, I know. Nathan must’ve reserved the hotel for us. Didn’t Karine say that Nathan is a VIP here? That must be it.” With that, he walked up to the security officer. “That’s right. We’re Nathan Yeats’s guests.”
The security officer stared at him and asked, “Who’s Nathan Yeats? Why have I never heard of him?”
Those words angered the entire family. In their eyes, Nathan Yeats was terribly outstanding, and the James family’s circumstances would only get better under his leadership.
Yet, this lowly security officer was saying that he had never even heard of Nathan Yeats!
“F*ck! Of course, you’ve never heard of him. You’re just a security officer! Get your manager here.”
Just then, someone walked out from the hotel lobby. “Hello, I’m the manager here. Are you looking for me?”
“We’re the guests of the one who reserved this hotel today. He’s gone to park the car, so can’t we enter first?”
The manager glanced at them. “That can’t be. That guest said that he was only inviting four other guests, so why do you guys have so many people?”
‘Four?’?The James family was stunned.?‘What is Nathan Yeats trying to do? Is he not intending on letting the old lady eat with us?’
Just then, Nathan Yeats walked over from the parking lot. “Why are you all standing here? Why don’t you head in?”
Before Nathan Yeats understood the situation, he saw everyone waiting outside and thought that they were too embarrassed. As such, he urged them on.
“Nathan, you’re here. Hurry up and explain it to the manager. Why can only four people enter?”
Nathan Yeats was confused. “Mr. Hadley, you’re here too. We’re here for a meal. What’s wrong?”
