Chapter 216 Was I invited by Abigail?
As the Johnson family kept mocking Sarah, Casey, next to Sarah, could no longer bear it.
She furrowed and spoke sternly, "What are you saying? Who told you that we were attending the Johnson family's housewarming banquet?"
"What?"
Matthew was stunned and sneered, "If she isn't attending the housewarming banquet, why else would she be here? I've seen her, the wretched woman, growing up. She's a sly one. She just wants to attend the housewarming banquet and achieve some ulterior motives!"
Abigail also chimed in, "Devious woman! Don't think that by attending the housewarming banquet, you can fool outsiders into thinking that you can move into the Platan Heights mansion and become a socialite? Have you even considered if you're worthy?"
They dared to mock Sarah like that simply because they didn't know Casey's identity!
After all, Casey didn't have the reputation that her uncle Andrew had built over the years in Houston!
Otherwise, they would never have had the courage to speak in such a tone if they knew Casey's identity!
Casey's gaze swept over the Johnson family, unable to help but lament to Sarah, "Now I finally understand how you have been burdened by such an unreliable family for over twenty years!"
Frankly, it's not worth arguing with these people. Let's go in!" She pulled Sarah's hand and tried to enter the neighborhood gate.
Andy stepped forward and blocked their way. He scolded with a stern face, "I'm telling you, Sarah Johnson! Your thick-skinned tactics don't work anymore, do they? We've emphasized multiple times that you have no relationship with the Johnson family. Furthermore, our housewarming banquet is not something you can attend! Do you also want to attend a wedding anniversary of the owners of Villa No. 1? It just occurred to me that it is your three-year wedding anniversary today! The difference between these two events is huge, isn't it? Look at all the influential people attending that three-year wedding anniversary, then have a look at yourself. Tell me, what gift did your husband, Ryder Clark, the loser, give you?"
Sarah was left dumbfounded by Andy's provoking words. September 1st was her three-year wedding anniversary, and she had always remembered it. As a woman, she had sensitivity to such special days. Especially recently, her relationship with Ryder had been steadily improving. For that reason, she had been wondering if Ryder would make some kind of gesture today. Perhaps, he take her out for a candlelit dinner and give her a small gift. It would be so warm and romantic. But what was the reality? Ryder had been busy since early morning, and there was still no news from him. She felt awkward bringing it up herself. So she spent the whole day feeling distracted. She even doubted whether Ryder had forgotten about their three-year wedding anniversary. Upon seeing Sarah speechless, Andy became even more aggressive. "I guessed it right, didn't I? Let me boldly assume the reason why Ryder is hiding today is because he was affected by the recent scandal on the internet. Well, any man would try to stay away if he found out his wife was that kind of person. Let alone talk about a wedding anniversary, he'd want a divorce within minutes!" The statement was hitting a nerve with Sarah. She had been staying out of the public eye for the past few days, trying to control her emotions and not let the private photo incident affect her. But Andy intentionally kept bringing it up, showing his malicious intent. Casey sternly rebuked Andy, "Step aside! Don't delay us from attending the banquet. Otherwise, you might not be able to bear the consequences!" "What?"
Andy spread his hands and wore an arrogant expression, saying, "It's a joke! Let's see what consequences there could be. It's too early to play tricks on me!"
Just as Andy said so, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a row of people running toward them on both sides of the main road in Platan Heights villa community.
There were over a hundred of them!
Each one of them was a strong man in suits and sunglasses, exuding a powerful aura!
The group of strong men stopped on both sides of the main road.
They stood in a straight line at a distance of about 10 yards from each other.
They had an invincible and imposing presence!
Soon, several people wearing Platan Heights villa work uniform appeared.
These people were carrying a roll of red carpet.
Wow!
Starting from the community entrance, they quickly laid out the red carpet leading inside!
After the 30-yards red carpet was laid out, they quickly followed and continued to lay the new red carpet toward the community!
It was repeated several times!
The direction was facing the luxurious villa area of Platan Heights!
The grand scene stunned the Johnson family for a moment.
Damn! What... what was going on?
When they were shocked, a leading man in black sunglasses walked forward and respectfully asked, "May I ask who is Miss Johnson? The owner of the villa No.1 invites you to a banquet. Please walk on the red carpet. He said he's waiting for you at the other end of the red carpet!"
Uopon hearing that, everyone present finally reacted!
Such a grand setup was actually for someone to walk on the red carpet!
It was so cool!
One should know that even Jake and the others had never been treated like this before!
It could be seen how much Miss Johnson was valued by the owner of the villa No. 1.
Wait a minute!
He was waiting for Miss Johnson?
At the same time, Abigail suddenly raised her hand, took two quick steps forward, and excitedly shouted, "It's me! I'm Miss Johnson!"
Yes. The Johnson family had only one Miss Johnson, and she was such a pretty beauty!
Abigail couldn't hide her excitement and turned to the Johnson family, saying, "My wish has come true! The owner of villa No. 1 has finally learned about me from various sources and must have been captivated by me at first sight, so he invited me to the banquet! It must be like this!"
Upon hearing that, Lawrence's face instantly showed great joy and said, "So that's how it is! My daughter! This is a rare opportunity. You must seize it!"
Grandpa Johnson trembled with excitement and said, "Abigail! I could see your unlimited potential a long time ago! This is the Johnson family's lucky day! When you meet the owner of Villa No. 1, make sure to speak highly of the Johnson family in front of him. And it would be even better if you could invite us together!"
The rest of the Johnson family looked at Abigail with envy.
Abigail, who witnessed all of this, felt indescribably excited.
She promised, "Just wait for my good news! I will win over the owner of Villa No. 1!"
Then she behaved proudly, ready to walk on the red carpet.
Just then, Casey suddenly asked the man in sunglasses, "May I ask if the owner of Villa No. 1 mentioned which Miss Johnson specifically, and what her name is?"
The man in sunglasses slapped his forehead and quickly replied, "Oops, I almost forgot. The name of Miss Johnson is Sarah Johnson!"
