Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: The Two Daughters Are Like Water and Fire
Husa Hotel entrance.
Jeffrey Hughes drove Xenia Jaak over and casually asked, "Miss Joy, you and Yigol Mamet are inseparable, so why didnât he come today?"
"Yigol is busy managing the company! He really doesnât have time."
"I heard Yigol is very talented in music?"
Upon hearing this, Xenia immediately became proud: "Yes! Youâve heard about it too! Yigol was raised as a playboy from a young age, he was ignorant and incompetent, never learned any musical instruments, but he could play the piano perfectly the first time he touched it. After a few months of learning, he has already reached the level where he can perform in concert halls!"
Speaking of Yigol, Xenia went on and on, while Jeffrey Hughes revealed a smile, whispering, "I see."
There are not many people in the banquet hall indeed, and upon entering, Jeffrey Hughes immediately spotted Xaviera Evans, but he seemed a bit displeased: "Why arenât you wearing the necklace I gave you?"
Xaviera gave an awkward smile and subconsciously glanced at Caleb Mamet. Jeffrey instantly understood and said, "Mr. Mamet, Iâm her brother."
Is he implying that heâs jealous?
Xaviera quickly changed the subject: "Wouldnât it be trouble if you donât go to Lisaâs side? They must be unhappy."
"Itâs fine." Jeffrey Hughes smiled, "Now that Iâm in charge of the Hughes Group, even if my grandmother is angry, she wonât do anything to me."
Meanwhile, at Totaste Restaurant.
In the lavishly decorated banquet hall, Lisa Hughes wore a pink princess dress and a diamond crown, slowly walking to Madam Hughesâ side, with the entire Hughes family celebrating her birthday.
Arm in arm with Madam Hughes, Lisa spoke coquettishly, "Thank you, granny, for hosting such a luxurious birthday party for me. I really love you! I wonât get married, and I will stay with you forever."
Madam Hughes, with a loving expression, pinched her nose: "Silly girl! Even when you get married, you will always be our little princess."
With a glance around, Lisa suddenly asked: "Granny, where is my brother? Weâre about to cut the cake; how come he hasnât come yet?"
Madam Hughes scanned around the room and realized Jeffrey wasnât there, wondering how he could miss his sisterâs birthday today?
Lisaâs eyes welled up with tears, and she spoke, feeling wronged: "Granny, did my brother go to my sisterâs banquet? He must still blame me for the incident with the room, so he refuses to come to my birthday party."
Madam Hughes snapped back to reality with a somewhat strained voice, "This... How could Jeffrey go there! He..."
Lisa cried, "Granny, no matter how busy my brother was in all these years, he has always attended my birthday parties. But ever since my sister came back, my brother no longer cares about me."
Seeing Lisa cry, Madam Hughes hurriedly comforted her: "Lisa, donât cry, we should be happy on your birthday. Even if Jeffrey goes to Xavieraâs side, we canât stop him. There are still so many friends and relatives here to celebrate your birthday; we donât need him."
The people in the banquet hall began to discuss that these two daughters hosting banquets simultaneously meant that Xaviera and Lisa would always be at odds, causing turmoil within the Hughes family in the future.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Madam! Miss, outside..."
"Young Master Hugh Winsletâs car is parked outside!"
The surroundings instantly quieted down.
Hugh Winslet! Thatâs the heir of the Winslet Family! Itâs already confirmed that he will be the next head of the Winslet Family, and his status in the Imperial City even surpasses Jeffrey Hughes. He came to attend Lisa Hughesâ birthday party?
Madam Hughes couldnât help but feel proud. With Hugh Winsletâs arrival, it meant that the Winslet Family recognized Lisa as the legitimate daughter of the Hughes family. If Hugh happened to like Lisa, maybe the two families could form a marriage alliance. That would be fantastic!
"Quick! Lisa, go greet Young Master Winslet!"
Lisa was extremely delighted and shyly pursed her lips, "Why would Young Master Winslet come? Iâm not even prepared!"
"Silly child, hurry up and go, donât be impolite."
The noble ladies enviously watched Lisa holding up her dress and running out. Not to mention Hugh Winsletâs prestigious status, his handsome face alone could make anyoneâs heart race. If they could marry a man like him, they would have no regrets in this life.
Everyone followed Lisa out to the entrance, but they didnât see Hugh Winslet. Madam Hughes asked anxiously, "Where is Young Master Winslet?"
The attendant at the door replied with a smile, "Young Master Winslet said he had important matters, so he left a gift and left first."
