Chapter 861: Gentle enough to drown
"His name is Hector."
Edgar's voice was not too loud, but just loud enough to be heard by both of Farabee and Devona's families, as well as the nearby guests.
Hector, these three words could be heard like a thunderbolt before.
It was only as he left the country and the Rogers family was taken over by Rupert that his reputation slowly faded.
But there are still some people who remember Hector fondly.
So, as Edgar spoke the name, everyone was shocked.
Farabee and Devona's family were even more shocked.
"Ken, Hector? Is it hard to be that Rogers family?"
Farabee's voice was shaking as he gulped and asked another follow-up question.
Edgar was delighted to see Farabee's discomfiture, his lips grinned and he nodded in response with great gusto, all the while taunting, "Is that the Rogers family that would look at your family's fortune?" The punch to the face came unannounced.
Farabee Devona's two families only felt a burning pain on their faces, in front of so many people.
They could not wait to find a hole in the ground into which they could burrow.
But more than that, it was shock.
How could they not have expected that?
Eloise actually married into the Rogers family!!!
The daughter of their most despised sister has leapt to become a phoenix on a branch!!!
"Come on this is a misunderstanding."
"I told you how Master Khan dared to recognize the offspring of his daughter who had been missing for years, it turns out that they have someone backing them up."
"With the Rogers family as his backers, he doesn't care about his little family fortune."
A noisy discussion, muttering, reached their ears.
The two families blushed for a moment at the remark.
Clemon was the first to react, and she put away that ugly expression.
Instead, he came over to Eloise with a smile on his face.
"Eloise, right? You're still unfamiliar with our Khan family after your rare trip back."
Clemon said and even reached out her hand attentively to take Eloise's hand, enthusiastically continuing, "Let me show you the rest of your relatives later!"
Eloise dodged aside, avoiding Clemon's outstretched hand, and then tugged at the corners of her mouth with a detached smile.
This change in attitude made her feel sick to her stomach.
And right from the start, she had no love for these two families.
Silvia also reacted and hesitated when she saw that Clemon had touched a nail.
I don't want to let go of the opportunity to get in touch with the Rogers family.
"Eloise, your second uncle has actually been thinking about your mother all these years, why don't you ..."
"It's not necessary."
Eloise curled her lips and interrupted Silvia decisively, "Aunt-in-law said earlier that she would take me with her."
Clemon and Silvia's faces froze at the same time.
It was the first time they had both been rejected so bluntly in public.
Someone around the room sniggered out and it was very obvious that it was mocking.
But isn't it.
The guests around the room had just seen clearly how much these two families disliked Hector before they knew who he was.
This was a slap in the face, trying to butter people up and being rejected.
"Oh, yes, is that so? Then forget it."
Clemon forced a smile on her face, only that smile couldn't be more fake.
"Eloise, don't be a stranger, from now on, if you need anything, just call your great aunt."
"We're all family, let's not talk about family."
In the face of Clemon's and Silvia's obvious scene-stealing remarks, Eloise indifferently curled her lips into a smile and made no reply.
Then she took the two children with her and walked directly to Baggott and Shang Ying.
The couple were still in a state of bewilderment.
Clearly not over the shock of what had just happened either.
Thinking that her sister's daughter was just living a normal life, who would have thought that Eloise would not only marry the Rogers family, but also show him both. Shang Ying couldn't help but look at Eloise standing in front of her a little nervously, not knowing what to say.
Although the Khan family is not much less powerful than the Rogers family, the Rogers family is united, unlike their Khan family, who are all playing their own game. So, really, they are no match for the Rogers family.
Eloise saw this and curled her eyes in a pure and harmless smile, "Auntie, we're all family, aren't we?"
"You're right, it's all family."
Shang Ying was relieved and very happy at the same time when she heard the words.
With this little farce at an end, the feast was officially underway.
The party was even more lively than earlier.
Hector and Yun Jingheng went to the side to talk, while Edgar and Master Khan joined them.
When talking with a few young people, Master Khan was all smiles.
He has great admiration for several of them.
The most outstanding leader of the younger generation is the husband of his granddaughter.
And what is there not to be satisfied with when your own grandson is so good too?
As for Eloise, she took the two young children and Shang Ying to find a quiet corner to sit in.
With Solomon in her arms, Sheung Ying sat on Eloise's lap as Sweety enjoyed being fed by her mummy herself.
"Eloise, what a surprise that you would be the daughter-in-law of the Rogers family."
Gazing at Eloise, who was gently feeding Sweety a cake, Shang Ying sighed.
Eloise carefully wiped the cream off Sweety's lips and smiled at the words, "It does seem dignified to outsiders, but all I care about is whether he cares about me or not." With that, Eloise looked up, her eyes passing through the heavy crowd and landing with a glance on Hector's body.
In her eyes, he was like a luminary, and she could find him at a glance wherever she was.
As if by telepathy, Hector looked sideways at Eloise from a distance.
The eyes were steeped in gentleness, gentle enough to drown.
Seeing this, Yun Jingheng and the others at the side made a joking remark.
"Brother Chen, come on haha, don't abuse us single dogs like this."
"That's right, knowing that you and your sister-in-law are in love!"
Edgar couldn't help but laugh, but he was met with a sharp knock on the head from Elder Fang, "What are you laughing at? So you're not single?"
The three of them, Yun Jingheng, laughed nonchalantly.
Shang Ying also took in the scene, and she smiled as she rubbed Solomon in her arms.
"Your husband naturally cares for you too, you have two children."
The hardest part is having children.
Moreover, it is clear from Hector's every move how much he cares for Eloise.
Eloise smiled and withdrew her gaze, responding as if she had eaten honey, "Yeah."
Sweety in her arms was still clamouring for cake when Eloise pressed her little hand and warned, "Solomon, Sweety, you mustn't eat too many sweets tonight, they'll spoil your teeth!" And Farabee Devona's two families looked at each other as if they had been ostracised, both seeing remorse in the other's eyes.
Their guts are now blue with regret.
"Look at it, look at it."
Clemon, her eyes red with anger, pointed at Eloise and Hector.
"Would all this have happened if you had taken the initiative to show your affection earlier?"
Clemon lowered her voice and added, "With the support of the Rogers family, are we still afraid that the Khan family won't fall into our hands?"
It is not clear whether this comment is a complaint against Farabee or his own son.
All in all, very regrettable.
