Chapter 429: Chapter 432: Dog Bites Dog (1)

Finally, a hint of a smile appeared on Brandon Lucas’s face.

“Do you think just anyone can sit at these front tables? Only those who are close to the Lucas family get such treatment.”

Seeing Brandon happy, Michelle Carter immediately chimed in, “I thought so…since we’re sitting so close to the front, it’s a good opportunity for me to get close to Mrs. Lucas and Young Lady Lucas.”

“From our table to the main table, there are just a few tables in between… one, two… ”

Michelle laughed as she started counting the tables.

When she counted to the second table, her smile immediately froze.

“Did… did I see that wrong?”

Michelle suddenly raised her voice, “Austin, look… at the second table, are those people from the Gray family?!”

Upon hearing the words ‘Gray family,’ Austin Lucas turned his head immediately.

At the same time, Rowena Gray and others at the second table also happened to hear Michelle’s sharp shout.

They, too, looked over.

Eye contact was made between the two parties in the open air.

Upon receiving the not-so-friendly gaze from the Lucas family members, the corner of Rowena’s lips curled into a smirk.

“Come on, Milly… let’s go and say hello to our old friends.”

During their previous collaboration to set up Lily Gray, Madam Gray and Rowena had crossed paths with the Lucas family members quite a few times.

Seeing Rowena and Milly Gray stand up, Madam Gray couldn’t help but advise, “Rowena, this is the Lucas family’s banquet… please don’t cause any trouble! If you upset Mrs. Lucas, my Gray family may not get any of this back.”

Rowena gave her mother a rather annoyed glance.

“Mother, relax… We’re sitting at the second table, after all, and one way or another, Milly will be taken care of by Mrs. Lucas tonight. Rest assured…I’ll be back after a short while.”

Finishing her sentence, Rowena stopped talking to Madam Gray.

With Milly in tow, she sashayed proudly over to the tenth table.

Humph…

Rowena herself had grown up as a well-bred lady with a golden key.

Had she not made a poor choice in marriage, picking a good-for-nothing husband who died prematurely, she wouldn’t be collaborating with the likes of Austin Lucas, the bastard child.

Furthermore, she had to endure being humiliated repeatedly during the previous collaboration by the uncultured Michelle Carter.

Now, the tables had turned.

Rowena and her family sat at the second table, while Michelle Carter and the other members of the Lucas family branch were relegated to the tenth.

It was high time to return the favor.

Tonight, Rowena wore a dark red body-hugging dress.

Though her youthful charm was no match for young girls, her well-bred upbringing was undeniable.

When she walked up with grace, her slender figure looked very elegant.

Additionally, her daughter Milly, who followed her, was dressed in a youthful and sweet pink outfit.

Mother and daughter, one in dark red and the other in pink.

As they walked together towards the Lucas family, they appeared quite like a pair of young sisters.

“Mr. and Mrs. Lucas IV… long time no see.”

Rowena took the initiative to say hello while specifically emphasizing the ‘IV.’

Though reluctant to engage, even Brandon couldn’t help but stand up and greet her with a smile.

Prior to this, he had held the Grays in low regard, considering them to be nothing but a burden.

However, now that they had the means to sit at the second table, it meant that someone influential must be supporting them.

Regrettably, he had just boasted to Michelle about his position in the Lucas family only moments ago.

In the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face by these formerly inferior relatives.

At this moment, Brandon’s face flushed red with embarrassment.
