Chapter 239: Going to Please with a Smiling Face

However, they did not dare underestimate Denise. Denise was different from them, as she came from Nemmington. The Taylor family had a small status in Nemmington. Not to mention, over the years, the market value of the Taylor Group in her hands kept rising, naturally increasing Denise’s net worth.

The Stark family actually managed to invite Denise… Celia frowned, but her chest relaxed a little afterward, as she let out a sigh of relief. She really didn’t want to come today because Stephanie had made her sick at the hospital before, and on top of that, Stephanie had caused them to offend the Larson family for no reason. She had been living in fear during this period, afraid that the Larson family would retaliate against them.

Fortunately, the Larson family went to the hospital every day, and after more than a week, there was no sign of them causing any trouble. She gradually let go of her anxieties. I came over today because I couldn’t resist my son’s nagging, plus Stephanie did well and won a decent award—second place. Lawson also said that the Herring family would come over to show their respect. She reluctantly made this trip.

Celia watched Luther and Stephanie approach Denise as they got off the car, and felt a sense of relief. It seems that she came at the right time. Myrna, ultimately, was not to be feared!

“Denise,” Stephanie called out sweetly, following behind. Denise frowned, glanced at them, holding something in her hand and a phone in the other, as if talking to someone.

Luther still had a smile on his face as he said, “Ms. Taylor, it was just a child’s birthday. You came; that’s enough. There’s no need to bring a gift…” Stephanie also saw the bag that Denise was holding. Sparkling Gems’ pocket was bulging, and she didn’t know what was inside, causing her to be filled with anticipation. The Taylor Group was the parent company of Sparkling Gems, and Denise wanted to easily get a new model. It would be even better if it was the latest limited edition series from S.

Stephanie’s eyes were watery and shimmering, reflecting a gleam. She thanked Denise first, saying, “Thank you, Denise.”

Rachel and the others saw that Stephanie seemed to have encountered an important person, and they felt uneasy and increasingly uncomfortable.

“Myrna, how about I pretend to have a stomachache, and later you can say that you need to take me to the hospital!” She couldn’t think of any better solution, so she could only come up with the idea of faking illness.

“No need, the person I was waiting for has arrived.” Myrna picked up her phone, ready to answer the call. Rachel wondered why she hadn’t seen any cars coming. “Myrna, are your guests walking here?” she asked. That would be better than the solution she just suggested. They pretended to be sick to avoid Stephanie’s dog barking again later. She was not afraid of embarrassing herself, but she was worried that Myrna couldn’t handle it.

Myrna had already seen the person surrounded by the Stark family father and daughters, standing there, and picked up the phone: “Hello, Denise.”

“Ms. Taylor, you look tired carrying those things. Let me have someone help you with that bag,” Luther offered to have someone assist with carrying the items.

Who knew, at that moment, Denise saw the phone connect, a smile appeared on her face, and she put the phone to her ear: “Hello, Mya, I’m here, where are you? Why didn’t I see you?”

Mya? Stephanie’s face turned pale, and her heart thumped loudly, almost jumping out of her throat. Could it be Myrna?

Luther’s face turned pale, alternating between shades of green and red. His hand froze in mid-air, and the air itself seemed to solidify, creating an incredibly awkward atmosphere.
