NovelReadingChapter 214 "Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's eat first. I'm starving! | heard there'd be sgood food today, so | made
sure to cwith an empty stomach," the woman chuckled. "Otherwise, the food would be wasted if it's left
unfinished."
Her eyes darted around the room as if it was the first tshe'd stepped in the society. She kept saying, "This
place looks so fancy! Must've cost a pretty penny, huh? Didn't mean to make you go all out for us!" Yvette,
frowning, called out to her mother. "Mom, let's just eat, okay? Anyway, the wedding plans are already in motion.
Today's just a chance for everyone to meet and get to know each other."
If it weren't for Eamon insisting on this family meeting, Yvette wouldn't have asked her family over. She had
even planned to exclude them from her wedding.
They were mere embarrassment. People would tell she cfrom the sticks once they met them. She had
longed for becoming a lady from a wealthy background, even attending a few etiquette classes. But now, here
she was, at risk of having her carefully constructed facade crumble.

haven't given us anything yet. Your family has money, right? I'm sure you won't be stingy." "Mom!" Yvette hadn't
anticipated her mother bringing this up. Gideon had already given them smoney to keep things under
wraps, promising that they'd sort out the wedding gifts later.
"Why are you yelling?" the woman snapped at Yvette. "Wedding gifts are something that needs to be settled.
"Yeah, sis, you're marrying into wealth. Can't skip out on that part, can you? Otherwise, it's like we're sending
you off with nothing! They're loaded, and while we're not, we can't let them look down on us to the point where
they skip the gift part, can we?" her half-brother chimed in with a cold smirk. "I did sasking around - | know
what the going rate is!"
"It's not like we're selling livestock! What do you mean, going rate?" Yvette shot him a glare, her voice low but
seething with frustration. "Ivor, just shut up and eat. We can talk about this later."
Ivor ignore Yvette's instruction; head tilting, he continued in a nonchalant tone, "We can't eat if this isn't sorted."
The whole family seemed to be in on this, their attitudes bristling with entitlement.
Eamon and his family were visibly uncomfortable.
Fleur flicked an interrogative glance at Gideon, silently urging him to smooth things over. She was on the verge
of losing her temper.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jansen, rest assured,
the wedding gifts will be taken care of," Gideon soothed. "Let's enjoy meal first shall we? The food's

otherwise!", "Yeah, let's eat first," Yvette echoed. "We can sort that out later!"
Verena eyed the dishes laid out on the table and swallowed. "Alright, let's eat. I'm really starving."
With that, she made herself at home, her manners all but forgotten as she dove into the food, digging in without

"Con, dig in! Don't just sit there watching us eat," Verena urged after a few bites, her words punctuated with
flying bits of food as she gazed up at Eamon and the others.
Calliope had been about to serve herself, but after witnessing Verena's less-than-sanitary display, she silently set
her fork down.
