Facade

Lilith, who had always been submissive, actually made such a request to Mildred today for the sake of Hera Giselle, once again, had a sense of crisis. 

“Really?” Mildred asked doubtfully, glancing at Hera without the disgust in her eyes as yesterday, 

She didn’t expect a bumpkin like Hera to be so intelligent that she actually scored full marks in the exam 

It had to be the Everetts‘ genes! Her genius first grandson was the best proof. 

“Mr. Larkin personally announced the results. All the teachers and students of Cavenridge know about it. I’ve decided to invite everyone in the academy to a banquet tomorrow and have also notified the reporters,” James said excitedly. 

Hearing this, Mildred felt distressed. “It’ll cost a fortune!” 

The current financial situation of the Everett family looked good on the surface but was 

optimistic in realit 

They could manage to hold a small party, but there were tens of thousands of people at Cavenridge. Moreover, for a school of Cavenridge’s level, they couldn’t just prepare 

ordinary meals 

After making a rough calculation of the cost, Mildred nearly passed out. 

“No matter how much it costs, we have to spend it! This is the best chance to prove our family’s financial strength and cultural level. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“After this banquet, I believe the Everett family can become one of the prominent families in Norburgh By then, we’ll naturally have more business!” James spoke enthusiastically. 

He had already thought about it. If there wasn’t enough money, he could mortgage the mansion and get a loan from the bank to hold a grand celebration banquet and invite a large group of reporters. 

In this way, the Everett family would become famous. Then, they could advertise Everett Group and wait for business to come. Within half a year, they would earn back the money and redeem the house from the bank. 

Mildred had spent half of her life as a farmer in the countryside. After the Everett family became wealthy, she became a rich lady who only knew how to show off but didn’t know how to run a business. 

To her, James‘ eloquent speech sounded like he would make a fortune soon. Since it was also for the sake of the Everett family’s reputation, she thought it might be a good idea. 

“Okay, let’s do as you say.” Mildred nodded at james and then looked at Hera. “I can give you Gino’s study, but you have to change your surname back to ” 

All of Hera’s glory at tomorrow’s banquet would truly belong to the Everett family only if she were an Everett instead of an adopted daughter. Mildred’s plan was flawless 

“Will I also have the identity as the Everett family’s daughter back?” Hera asked. 

Listening to them discussing holding a banquet for Hera, Giselle felt that her status in the Everett family seemed to be in jeopardy. Hera’s question further put her on the alert 

Sure enough, this country bumpkin still wanted to take back her identity as the daughter of the Everett family! 

The thought of the dilapidated house in the rural village was repulsive to Giselle. She would never return to that slum again in her life! 

Giselle quietly went out to make a phone call while nobody was paying a 

In the living room, Mildred choked at Hera’s question. 

attention 

“Didn’t I tell you before? The Gaskell family is interested in Gigi. The Everett family’s daughter can’t be changed!” James explained with displeasure 

The Everett family formed a marriage of convenience with the Gaskell family in order to maintain their business relationship. It just so happened that Zyler fell in love with Giselle. 

If Hera were revealed to be the real daughter of the Everett family, the Gaskell family would definitely not accept a country bumpkin to be their daughter–in–law. 

By then, if Zyler insisted on marrying Giselle, it would no longer have anything to do with the Everett family 

Therefore, 

Hera’s à identity couldn’t be disclosed before the Everett family’s business bloomed. 

“In that cas, it’s not necessary to change my surname. Anyway, I’m still the adopted daughter of the Everett family whichever surname I have,” Hera uttered in a calm tone 

The Everett family just wanted to have the reputation but was unwilling to take the risk. What a perfect calculation! 

For a moment, Hera’s words rendered James and Mildred speechless.
