Chapter 365 The Game of the Top Elite Families
As soon as Jenny spoke, the atmosphere around them instantly became awkward.
However, as the third generation of the illustrious Russell family, Jenny indeed had the capital to look down on everyone.
The declining Ellison family was simply insignificant in front of the Russell family, especially Xanthe.
However, she was Xanthe Ellison, who was determined to bring the Ellison family back to its peak. Jenny's arrogance towards her had to be reciprocated.
Paige slowly stood up.
She was even half a head taller than Jenny, and her entire demeanor was no less impressive than Jenny, who was born into a world-class elite family.
Coincidentally, the dresses they wore today were custom-made by the same designer and were the kind that money couldn't easily buy!
However, the designer's personal style was very distinct, making it easy to tell apart.
When Paige stood up, being taller than Jenny and wearing a dress from the same designer, Jenny immediately got angry.
But Paige didn't give her a chance to speak first.
Paige said, "Yes, I am Xanthe Ellison from the declining family. So, you are Jenny from the 'parasite' family?"
Jenny sounded good, but what did 'parasite family' mean? Was this a veiled insult suggesting that the Russell family achieved its current glory by leeching off other families?
Jenny instantly got angry and retorted to Paige. "How dare you speak about my family like that? The Ellison family isn't even considered a lower-tier elite family now, and you dare talk to me like this?"
Just as Jenny seemed about to tear Paige apart in the next second, Emory, standing beside her, suddenly laughed heartily. "This is the first time someone has made Jenny so angry. Ms. Ellison, you have a magical power that makes people unconsciously like you."
Paige's face darkened, and she glanced at Emory.
It had to be said that as a mixed-race individual, both Emory and Jenny had naturally superior looks.
With deep-set features and defined contours, Jenny's face was slightly rounder, while Emory had the refined beauty of an artist's sculpture.
Even Raymond was almost overshadowed by them.
The Ellison family indeed couldn't compare to the Russell family's power now.
But that didn't mean she couldn't be angry!
Although Paige also appreciated appearances, she knew that the top-tier elite families still standing were all ruthless and greedy.
She coldly smiled, "It seems you have your eyes on something I have today."
If it were anyone else, Emory would have already been angry.
But at this moment, he had a bit more patience with Paige. "Is Ms. Ellison always straightforward?"
Paige didn't beat around the bush. "Mr. Morgan, I didn't know you invited such distinguished guests today. It seems I shouldn't have come."
Saying this, Paige made a move to leave.
Emory didn't expect Paige to completely ignore him.
Was she openly declaring herself an enemy of the Russell family?
It should be known that even though Wesley had passed away, the Ellison family still retained some power.
But compared to the Russell family, it was insignificant.
So, anyone would see that opposing the Russell family now was unwise for the Ellison family.
But Paige seemed to be truly brainless, openly disrespecting Jenny and Emory in such a public setting.
Seeing Paige about to leave, Jenny furiously said, "Xanthe, no one can protect what the Russell family wants. You'd better hand it over soon, or holding onto something that doesn't belong to you will only harm you."
Jenny had probably been pampered since childhood, used to easily getting what she wanted.
So, she believed that everything she desired should belong to her.
Even if it belonged to someone else, they should hand it over respectfully.
But Paige didn't say a single nice word to her, let alone give her the clues she had.
Paige turned back to look at Jenny and said. "Really? Do you think if I beg for mercy now, the Russell family will spare the Ellison family? As far as I know, the only reason the Ellison family still has a glimmer of hope is that you always knew the Ellison family had surviving descendants. And we have something you want. Once we no longer have it, the Ellison family will truly be doomed."
After saying this, Paige walked straight out.
Raymond, standing on the second floor, took in everything.
As soon as Paige left, Raymond immediately followed from another side.
His identity was still inconvenient for meeting Jenny and Emory.
However, Raymond also knew they were after the secret funds Paige had.
But the reason Paige used this clue to co-host this party with Dylan was to set a trap and lure out those who wanted to seize the secret funds.
Unexpectedly, it worked.
The appearance of the Russell family was indeed a surprise.
But it was also a signal.
The fact that the Russell family came to such a small party for the clues indicated one thing that the competition between the Russell family and the Hamilton family had reached a fever pitch.
Among the once five great families, only two top-tier families remained after the struggles.
The other families had either perished or fallen.
As long as there were competitors, competition was inevitable.
There had to be a final winner for true victory.
And with the Russell family and the Hamilton family being evenly matched in every aspect, the secret funds became the key to the final battle.
Whoever obtained the secret funds would be the ultimate winner.
After Raymond followed outside and got into his car, Emory actually chased after Paige.
Raymond looked through the car window and saw Emory calling out to Paige.
Charles immediately asked, "Mr. Carnegie, should we send someone to interfere?"
Raymond replied, "Not for now. She can handle it."
He was watching nearby, so there wouldn't be any problems.
Given the current situation, with the Russell family and the Hamilton family at the top and the Ellison family on the rise, seemingly poised to reclaim the third position, the competing Russell and Hamilton families might not suppress the Ellison family. Instead, they might even try to win over the Ellison family!
Sure enough, after Emory called out to Paige and said, "Since Ms. Ellison is knowledgeable about family history, are you interested in rejoining the elite game?"
