Alexia wan humiliated, and her face boned and with embarrassment.
Victor glared at Calvin and snapped, “Keep you mouth that if you have nothing prodito say! Even if besi bought in last minute, I still like it.”
Calvin merely shoved his hands into his pocket, looking unbothered.
Alexia bit her bottom lip and said in embarrassment, “Grandpa, I didn’t lay it. Lactually knitted these for my mom. Her birtheday comer a month after yours. I only learned that today in your → birthday, so I didn’t have time to get a gift. Hence, I gave you what 1 prepared for her instead thope you don’t mind ”
She didn’t have money and couldn’t afforda present at all.
Victor’s expression softened, and he shook his head gently. “This just shows that I hold the same place in your heart as your mom I’m delighted. Don’t worry, your mom will definitely wake
up
Upon hearing his words, she forced a smile. She hoped that Christine would wake up soon as well.
Just then, Teenjamin approached and announced, “Mr. Reed Senior, the banquet will start in hall an hour. You can start your speech.”
Victor nodded and walked to the middle of the ha
Instantly, the lively crowd fell silent, and all eyes turned toward him.

First, I’d like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt gratitude to everyone for coming! appreciate the sincere and heart–warming wishes that all of you gave to me, and your presence made the event more enjoyable.

Hailey’s jealousy grew even more intense, and she wanted nothing more than to storm over and rip Alexia apart
She turned to Maya and erupted, “Didn’t you say that Mr. Reed Senior wouldn’t like that little wench? wat he openly acknowledges her in front of everyone, inchiding asking her and Mr. Reed to perform the opening dance. Aher tonight, the entire Airedale would know she’s Mrs. Reed!”
Maya didn’t say a word but felt a rush of terror. She had always assumed that Victor welcomed Alexia out of gratitude
But now it seemed that he really liked her and was eager to officially acknowledge her position.
Hailey gritted her teeth in rage: “He must be blind. What’s so appealing about that little tramp? He’s just an old fool with poor eyesight!
“Halley!” Maya hissed softly “Lower your voice before someone hears you.”
Meanwhile, Alexa’s thoughts went blank, and she froze.
She wondered if Victor had made an error by asking her to dance with Calvin
After finishing his speech, Victor walked back down with a joyful smile,
Alexa cushed up and whispered, “Grandpa, I don’t know how to dance. I don’t want to to laughed at Let’s forget it”

She nodded.
After Benjamin brought her to the lounge, he left.
