The Real Heiress is Coming Back! Novel - Chapter 157

Chapter 157 These high-society parties were all about business deals and networking. Usually, families just sent one representative. But if a family like the Croft family showed up with all three of them, it was a huge honor for the host, a sign of respect. But the Scott family? They were nowhere near as influential as the Baker family in Brynlock, yet they showed up with all six of them, including the old folks and the kids. People might think the Scott family was so broke they had to bring the whole family just to get a free meal.

They had no clue about even the most basic etiquette or manners at someone else's party, yet they still dreamed of cozying up to the Croft family? They were just asking to be the laughingstock of the whole city. "This is the Scott family's annual party. How many people we bring is none of the Baker family's business, is it? Mrs. Baker, aren't you a little too nosy?" Hannah chuckled. "Scott family's annual party? Seriously? "Did you just wake up, or are you totally lost? This is the Baker family's annual party!" Gemma sneered "Honestly, Mrs.

Baker, I think you're the one who's mixed up," Hannah said, glancing at the sign by the entrance. "If you can't make out the words, maybe you need to grab your bifocals and take a good look." Everyone turned to check out the sign, and in huge letters, it said, "ChronoLink Group Annual Party." ChronoLink Group was the name of Arthur's company in Cynthoria. Gemma and Winston looked stunned. They'd been so busy greeting guests when they arrived that they hadn't noticed the words on the sign at all.

Now, they couldn't tell if someone had swapped it out or if it had been sitting there the whole time. 'If it's been there all along, then every guest who walked in saw it... Gemma thought, her expression growing even more grim. 'How could I mess up something so basic? This is beyond embarrassing,' she thought, feeling like she couldn't be more humiliated. "Goodness gracious, Mrs. Baker, can't you see those letters? I'm old, and even from way over here I can read 'ChronoLink Group Annual Party.' Is there something wrong with your eyes?

Maybe you should go see a doctor," Aurelia mocked, laying it on thick. "Grandma, my teacher says it's really rude to point out people's shortcomings in front of everyone. It'll just embarrass them. You know her eyesight isn't great, so no need to say it out loud," Lucian said earnestly. "Well done, Lucian. You really listen to your teacher. I'll give you a little extra allowance this month," Arthur said, ruffling Lucian's hair. Hannah thought, 'Is teasing people really that much fun for you guys?' Owen spotted the sign and felt secretly relieved.
