Other guests who came to the party were talking about Emma Johnson's late arrival. "To be late for such an important occasion is not taking the Carter Family seriously."
"As a junior, being late for such a long time is really uneducated."
The whispered discussions were subtle, but clearly audible to everyone in the room, and a smug smile appeared on Olivia's face, which was exactly what she had been hoping for! Emma gritted her teeth in embarrassment, knowing full well that she was indeed late.
Mr. Carter Sr. didn't seem to be offended by Emma's tardiness, despite the fact that many people were accusing her of being late. The crowd was not interested in saying anything else. Olivia's eyes were filled with jealousy.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"Grandpa, you are so embarrassed, I came to attend your birthday banquet, but ended up being late, look at the birthday gift I specially prepared for you, please smile!"

Three Years to Love
She thought about how she had no connection with the Carter Family for a long time, and whether it would be inappropriate for her to walk over to their relatives" table. Emma pursed her lips, and was about to say no when Mr. Carter Sr. said. "Emma, what are you standing there for? Come on over."
He slowly walked forward, pulling Emma to Ethan Carter's side.
again:
Olivia saw this and was instantly anxious, even her real girlfriend had no business walking over to that table, and Emma was walking over there.
Her eyebrows went up, and she stared at Emma with a pair of big round eyes, full of resentment, wanting to kill her a thousand times over with her eyes!
"Everyone, I'd like to proudly introduce to you all, this is our Carter Corporation's specially hired designer; Emma Johnson."
Mr. Carter Sr. not only dragged Emma to the Carter Family's relatives' table, but also introduced her grandly, which made Emma feel relieved that the old man didn't mention what happened between her and Ethan, avoiding embarrassment. Although Mr. Carter Sr. was no longer in charge of the company, his position was still
nshakeable and he had an absolute say in the Carter Family, and for Emma to be taken so seriously by him, no one dared to take her lightly, after all, that would be tantamount to slapping the old man in the face.
The different gazes from the crowd made Emma a little uncomfortable, but in order to make Mr. Carter Sr. happy, she put up with it.
As the party progressed, the dancing part came along, and the opening dance was naturally danced by Ethan, who was the first heir of the Carter Family.
Olivia gazed at him with affection, as if she had decided that the first opening dance would be hers and Ethan's. She fantasized that she would be a part of the party, and that she would be a part of it. She imagined she would be the center of attention at the party, but Mr. Carter Sr.'s next words left her completely dumbfounded.
"Why don't you ask Emma to dance, you little brat?!"
