Chapter 109 What's the situation?
Evelyn's face turned cold as she glanced at the two people who had just spoken. She was about to speak when Grandpa Doyle, sitting in front, snorted and said, "Guests are always welcome. Everyone attending the birthday banquet today is here to give face to Dermot Doyle. Regardless of their status, we treat everyone equally."
"If anyone can't keep their mouths shut, don't blame me for not being polite!"
Instantly, the surroundings became quiet, and no one dared to say anything else.
Natalie stepped forward to ease the tension. "Grandpa Doyle, why don't you take a look at the gift Miss Peterson has given? I believe she must have put a lot of thought into it."
Grandpa Doyle looked at her, and Natalie quickly explained, "When I was choosing a gift for you, I happened to run into Miss Peterson who was also selecting a gift. Her friend claimed to know what you like, so I was curious."
Saying that, Natalie's gaze turned to Evelyn. "Isn't that right, Ms. Kyte? You did mention that you knew what Grandpa Doyle likes, right?"
Suddenly, Evelyn was pushed into the spotlight and had no choice but to step forward.
"If Grandpa Doyle likes it or not, you'll know once you see it," Evelyn smiled, not bothering to pay attention to Natalie's provocation.
Grandpa Doyle was surprised as well. His gaze towards Evelyn was very gentle. "Did you pick the gift on behalf of the Peterson family?"
"Yes," Evelyn nodded.
At this moment, not only Marina, but even the parents of the Peterson family beside her were extremely nervous.
If Grandpa Doyle doesn't like it, it wouldn't just be a failure, but it might also offend the old man .
"Well, I really want to take a look," Grandpa Doyle reached out his hand to Bruce and took the gift from him.
The gift box was opened, and everyone looked over.
When they saw that it was just an ordinary ornament inside, they couldn't help but chuckle.
"So it's just an ornament, how creative," Natalie restrained her laughter, complimenting on the surface but actually mocking.
Grandpa Doyle took the ornament out of the gift box and carefully examined it in his hand, then glanced at Evelyn after a moment, "Did you buy it from Mr. Adams?"
"Yes," Evelyn nodded.
"Good," Grandpa Doyle nodded, smiling at Marina, "Your name is Marina, right?"
"Yes," Marina nodded, feeling uneasy inside.
"I really like this gift. It's the one I like the most so far," Grandpa Doyle said to her.
After saying that, without waiting for Marina to react, Grandpa Doyle looked at Dermot beside him, "Make sure to have more interactions with the Peterson family in the future and don't just accept such a good gift for nothing."
"Okay," Dermot nodded.
For a while, everyone was shocked.
What's going on?
The ornament is actually Grandpa Doyle's favorite? Doesn't he like Natalie's crystal cross just now?
What's even more surprising is that Grandpa Doyle, who hasn't been involved in family matters for a long time, actually wants Dermot to have more interactions with the Peterson family. Everyone knows what that means.
The expressions of Marina and the Peterson family's parents changed. They all knew that after today, the Peterson family will probably step up to a new level.
Natalie was also shocked for a long time and couldn't recover. No matter how she looked at that ornament, it was far worse than her crystal cross. How did it please Grandpa Doyle?
After accepting Marina's gift, Grandpa Doyle smiled and looked at Evelyn, "Evelyn, I'm starting to look forward to the gift you prepared."
She helped the Peterson family choose such a good gift, so her own gift must be extraordinary. Grandpa Doyle was really looking forward to it.
What's going on? Everyone was puzzled.
Are Grandpa Doyle and Evelyn close?
Natalie also looked at Dermot beside her with surprise, feeling that there must be something she didn't know.
Which part went wrong?
