Chapter 78 Don't Mention My Mother! You're Not Worthy
Gianna and Lloyd pushed open the door of the private room, and everyone turned to look at them.
Brenna immediately stood up and angrily scolded Gianna, "You brat! Don't you know what day it is today? So many people have been waiting for you, and what kind of attitude is this?"
"That's right, this is just an engagement banquet, but you are so disrespectful, not even considering your elders. If you really marry Mr. Finley, you'll be too arrogant even to raise your head!" Naima never liked Gianna, and after waiting for her for so long, she was bursting with anger.
Gianna glanced at them indifferently and asked, "Did I invite you here?"
When Damian and Sherman discussed the engagement, they agreed on two tables for the banquet, and the Geller family members were not included.
Now she just took a quick glance and saw that the Geller family had reserved three tables. They came uninvited and still blamed her.
"Do you have any manners? Can't you accept criticism even when you make mistakes? Is that how your mother raised you?" Brenna angrily said.
Gianna's face darkened. She took a step forward and coldly said to Brenna, "Don't mention my mother! You're not worthy!"
"You!" Brenna felt a sharp pain in her chest from anger.
Seeing this, Sherman quickly stepped between the two of them. "Mom, if you came to attend the banquet, we welcome you. But if you're here to cause trouble for Gia, please leave. Today is her engagement banquet, and I don't want to ruin everyone's mood."
"Slap!" Brenna slapped him with anger on her face. "You heartless thing! I'm your mother! I came to attend my granddaughter's engagement banquet, and how dare you to drive me away in front of so many people? Do you think flattering the Finley family will give you confidence? Let me tell you, as long as I'm alive, the Geller family is not under your control!"
"Old Mrs. Geller, are you hitting my father-in-law in front of me? Do you think I'm already dead?" Lloyd's eyes narrowed, and his voice was cold and unconventional.
Brenna trembled, but still justified herself, "Mr. Finley, he may be your father-in-law, but he's also my son. I'm disciplining my own son, and it's none of your business, right?"
She didn't want things to get too ugly today. The main issue was that Gianna had kept them waiting for too long.
She has made several apologies to the Finley family because of this and was afraid that the wedding would be canceled.
She said a few words to Gianna in order to keep this marriage, was she wrong?
Now Gianna didn't take her seriously, and Sherman also showed no respect for his elders. Even Lloyd embarrassed her in front of everyone. She was very angry and couldn't care about her dignity anymore.
"I don't care about you or your son. Today is my engagement banquet. By hitting my father-in-law in public, where does that leave the face of the Finley family?" Lloyd calmly interjected with his hands in his pockets.
"I..."
Brenna wanted to say something, but Alisa suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Finley, I'm sorry. Grandma was just caught up in the moment and spoke harshly. The engagement banquet has already been
delayed for too long, so let's get started. Everyone has been waiting for too long... Mr. Finley, your leg?"
As Alisa's words reached halfway, she suddenly realized something and looked towards Lloyd's leg. She was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
How was it possible that Lloyd could stand up?
Brenna, who was still angry, also followed Alisa's gaze towards Lloyd's leg and froze on the spot. "This... Mr. Finley, is your leg healed?"
Just an hour ago, Lloyd was still in a wheelchair. How did his leg suddenly get better after going out?
When Lloyd was disabled, Damian treated him so favorably, practically giving the entire Finley family to him. If his leg was healed, wouldn't he be even more favored?
The rest of the people were also stunned, unable to utter a word.
Lloyd ignored them, holding Gianna's hand and went straight to the main table.
Brenna and other direct relatives from Sherman sat at the same table with the Finley family.
As soon as they entered, the Finley family noticed Lloyd's leg. Alivia stood up abruptly, looking at him in shock. "Lloyd, is your leg healed?"
The rest of the Finley family also shifted their attention. Their expressions varied, and their internal emotions were rich.
Lloyd glanced at them and said, "Thanks to Gia, I met an extraordinary person on my way to find her. Just with a simple acupuncture, my leg was cured."
Everyone was astonished. "Who is this remarkable person? Just a single acupuncture can cure a disability!"
"Could it be a Northey? I've heard that this person's medical skills are incredible, capable of reviving the dead and treating even disabilities."
"Lloyd is really lucky to encounter such a miraculous doctor. It's said that the doctor's whereabouts are elusive. Many people have paid a fortune to seek treatment from him but couldn't find him."
Alisa listened to everyone's discussion, and her fingers tightly clasped together.
She couldn't believe that Lloyd's leg had been healed.
And it happened at the engagement banquet.
If Lloyd's leg was healed, he would no longer be considered worthless. Perhaps Damian would make him take over the Finley family business.
With the extent of Damian's favor towards Lloyd, it was possible for him to be designated as the successor of the Finley family. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
She was secretly annoyed. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have declined this marriage proposal. If Lloyd became the successor, she would be the true mistress of the Finley family.
Alivia was the most excited. She held onto Lloyd for a long time, crying, "Your leg is healed, really healed. My heart can finally be at ease."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and turned to Damian, "Dad, since Lloyd's leg is healed, then this wedding..."
Before she could finish her words, Damian coldly interrupted, "It's a great thing that Lloyd's leg is healed. It shows that Gia is a fortunate child. In the future, when she marries into the Finley family, the Finley family will prosper even more."
"But..."
Alivia opened her mouth, and Damian glared at her, making her shut up!
Damian didn't pay any more attention to her and turned to Sherman, saying, "Sherman, the engagement ceremony can begin."
Sherman nodded and said, "Old Mr. Finley, you are the elder, so it's better for you to officiate the wedding ceremony."
Damian nodded in agreement, not refusing. He stood up and said, "Today is the engagement banquet of my grandson, Lloyd, and Gianna from the Geller family. First of all, I wish them eternal harmony, a hundred years of happiness, and a blissful life together."
After Damian finished speaking, he had someone bring up the betrothal gifts and said to Sherman, "These are the betrothal gifts worth 15 thousand dollars. You can check them."
The betrothal gifts were arranged on a tray, tied with red silk.
Sherman was about to say there was no need to check, but suddenly, Brenna stood up abruptly, her emotions highly agitated. "Betrothal gifts worth 15 thousand dollars? How can this be? We clearly discussed a betrothal gift worth ten million dollars! Old Mr. Finley, isn't this a bit too much?"
"That's right. Gianna is, after all, the Ms. Geller of the Geller family. the Geller family also holds a prestigious position in Rheinsville City. Giving only 15 thousand dollars as a betrothal gift is an insult to us," Chace chimed in.
"I see that the Finley family never had any intention of marrying into our family. Since that's the case, let's cancel this wedding," Enrique also said.
