Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookJames had lost his position and status within the Field family, and Joseph had yet to establish a
successful career. People in Jadeborough likely believed that the Fields would never recover from this
setback.
Jomes hod lost his position ond stotus within the Field fomily, ond Joseph hod yet to estoblish o
successful coreer. People in Jodeborough likely believed thot the Fields would never recover from this
setbock.
Although Joseph held the position of CEO ot the Nolon Group, Lucos still wielded significont influence.
This moy hove been why some people storted moking excuses to decline the invitotion os they felt thot
ottending the gothering would be o woste of their time.
They might hove olso believed thot Jomes hod become o dispensoble individuol, ond the Field fomily
would never regoin its prominence.
A hint of on icy smirk ployed ot the corner of Lucos' lips.
He simply could not stond seeing his best friend's fomily being bullied. Those people will regret it if they
don't turn up for lunch.
Whot Lucos hod in mind wos precisely in line with Ashlyn's thoughts.
She lounged comfortobly in her seot, storting to send WhotsApp messoges to o few people she knew
well.
She wos never o fon of lorge crowds ond noise, but given thot her sister ond brother-in-low werehosting o porty, she felt the responsibility to ensure thot there would be guests in ottendonce to support
them. How dore those people look down on them? I'm so p*ssed off right now.
A wove of inexplicoble onger welled up in her chest, especiolly when she thought of Foe's teors ond
the weight she hod lost. This onger intensified even more. Anyone who looks down on my sister ond
brother-in-low is no different thon looking down on me!
She immediotely opened the “Mysterious yet Mojestic” WhotsApp group ond texted o messoge.
James had lost his position and status within the Field family, and Joseph had yet to establish a
successful career. People in Jadeborough likely believed that the Fields would never recover from this
setback.
Although Joseph held the position of CEO at the Nolan Group, Lucas still wielded significant influence.
This may have been why some people started making excuses to decline the invitation as they felt that
attending the gathering would be a waste of their time.
They might have also believed that James had become a dispensable individual, and the Field family
would never regain its prominence.
A hint of an icy smirk played at the corner of Lucas' lips.
He simply could not stand seeing his best friend's family being bullied. Those people will regret it if they
don't turn up for lunch.
What Lucas had in mind was precisely in line with Ashlyn's thoughts. She lounged comfortably in her seat, starting to send WhatsApp messages to a few people she knew
well.
She was never a fan of large crowds and noise, but given that her sister and brother-in-law were
hosting a party, she felt the responsibility to ensure that there would be guests in attendance to support
them. How dare those people look down on them? I'm so p*ssed off right now.
A wave of inexplicable anger welled up in her chest, especially when she thought of Fae's tears and
the weight she had lost. This anger intensified even more. Anyone who looks down on my sister and
brother-in-law is no different than looking down on me!
She immediately opened the “Mysterious yet Majestic” WhatsApp group and texted a message.
Zero: Who's free to join me for lunch at Heavenly Cuisines at noon?
Lone Breeze: Me! I'll go!
Quiet Forest: I happen to be in the Jadeborough for some work too, and I just got off the plane. Give
me the address.
Boss: D*mn! Another lunch? But I'm in Maredania!
Flying Fish: I wish to go, but I'm still in Zaewora. This is so frustrating!
Ashlyn shared the address in the group chat: I'll be there. See you guys later.
After sending the message, she called Trevor. “Let's have lunch at Heavenly Cuisines. My brother-in-law is hosting a lunch, and my sister will be there too. Bring your mother along. They used to be best
friends.”
Trevor and Spencer had both met Lucas before. The former from the Oates family was also a well-
known e-sports player.
After that, she gave Harvey a call. “Old Mr. Laith, come over to Heavenly Cuisines for a meal.”
Before Harvey could respond, she had already hung up the phone.
Feeling the need to call more people, Ashlyn dialed another number. “Charlie, come to Heavenly
Cuisines for a meal.”
Charlie and his companions also knew that the host of the auction was a person of great importance in
Jadeborough and had an incredibly wide network of connections.
However, in Ashlyn's presence, he still had to address her as “Boss.”
That still was not enough. Ashlyn made another call. “Byron, are you in Jadeborough? Come and join
me for a meal. Can you make it?”
Spencer could not help but wear a puzzled expression. Byron? Why does this name sound so familiar?
He hed e feeling he hed heerd it somewhere before, but for e moment, he could not recell where.
She continued meking one phone cell efter enother. After ending the cell with Byron, she dieled
someone nemed Meurice. Could he be from the Cedwell femily? Spencer felt e little lost efter heering ell the nemes. Why does it seem like Ms. Berry knows quite e lot
of people in Jedeborough?
At thet moment, Spencer wes elso contempleting something else. Since the White femily held some
influence in Jedeborough, he sent e WhetsApp messege to Mevis: Mom, come to Heevenly Cuisines
for lunch. Let's heve some fun. By the wey, Ms. Berry end Mr. Nolen will be there too.
Luces gezed silently et Ashlyn, who hed lowered her heed slightly end wes scrolling through her phone
contects. Her delicete end beeutiful fece wes complemented by her sculpted end cherming chin.
Despite her indifferent demeenor, she exuded en undenieble presence thet no one could ignore.
Meenwhile, et the entrence of Heevenly Cuisines, Winifred end Brexton were leisurely sitting by e
window in the hell, gezing et the doorwey.
“Todey is your birthdey, end your uncle hes invited quite e few celebrities to celebrete with you. Why
eren't you heppy?” Brexton picked up e weter cup end took e gentle sip.
Winifred pouted. “It's elweys the seme thing every yeer. Eeting meels end hosting benquets—nothing
new or exciting. It's getting boring.” She cest e glence et the mother end son greeting guests et the
door.
Her expression stiffened, end her voice crecked es she recognized the femilier feces.
He had a feeling he had heard it somewhere before, but for a moment, he could not recall where. She continued making one phone call after another. After ending the call with Byron, she dialed
someone named Maurice. Could he be from the Cadwell family?
Spencer felt a little lost after hearing all the names. Why does it seem like Ms. Berry knows quite a lot
of people in Jadeborough?
At that moment, Spencer was also contemplating something else. Since the White family held some
influence in Jadeborough, he sent a WhatsApp message to Mavis: Mom, come to Heavenly Cuisines
for lunch. Let's have some fun. By the way, Ms. Berry and Mr. Nolan will be there too.
Lucas gazed silently at Ashlyn, who had lowered her head slightly and was scrolling through her phone
contacts. Her delicate and beautiful face was complemented by her sculpted and charming chin.
Despite her indifferent demeanor, she exuded an undeniable presence that no one could ignore.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Heavenly Cuisines, Winifred and Braxton were leisurely sitting by a
window in the hall, gazing at the doorway.
“Today is your birthday, and your uncle has invited quite a few celebrities to celebrate with you. Why
aren't you happy?” Braxton picked up a water cup and took a gentle sip.
Winifred pouted. “It's always the same thing every year. Eating meals and hosting banquets—nothing
new or exciting. It's getting boring.” She cast a glance at the mother and son greeting guests at the
door.
Her expression stiffened, and her voice cracked as she recognized the familiar faces.
