William laughed helplessly. “Were you thinking about this when you were watering the plants just now? I’ll tell you since you want to know so badly, but you have to keep your mouth shut. You’re not allowed to tell this to anyone, including Abbie!”
Valeria immediately promised, “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I promise I won’t tell anyone, including Abbie!”
William looked around and lowered his voice. “Dear, Braelynn is the biological daughter of my uncle and Emily! She’s my cousin!”
“My gosh!” Valeria stared at William with her eyes wide in shock. Braelynn was actually William’s cousin and she was the real daughter of the Floyd family. Valeria was surprised and happy when she heard this. “Dear, this is great news! My gosh, Braelynn is your cousin. Should I address her as my cousin too in the future?”
“You’re so silly. She’s obviously my younger cousin sister. Although Braelynn is older than you, she is younger than me.”
“You scolded me again! Since this is such good news, I won’t argue with you. I’m so excited just thinking about it, haha!” Valeria was extremely happy.
“It’s a happy event, but it’s not a trivial matter. You can’t tell anyone about it. If someone with ulterior motives knows about it, it will cause trouble to Braelynn.”
“I know. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. But what’s the matter with Angel? Do you know what family she’s from?” Valeria immediately asked.
“I don’t. Anyway, it has nothing to do with the Floyd family.”
“Grandma and uncle must be very sad when they know that Angel is not a member of the Floyd family. I’m a little worried! To tell the truth, I really want to uncover Angel’s true personality, but I’m worried about Grandma and Grandpa. She turned out to be an imposter after they raised her for so many years. It’s heartbreaking!”
“Yes, I’ve also thought about this! I have another thing to investigate as well, so I need to trouble Braelynn for the time being. Let’s not disclose her identity now, and we should wait for a suitable time to talk about it.”
“Braelynn is beautiful, capable, and she is a million times better than Angel. My grandparents will be very happy if they know that Braelynn is their real daughter.” Valeria was angry when she mentioned Angel.
They wanted to deal with Angel previously because she was Callum’s daughter. However, they felt guilty because they would have to explain it to Fandrey and Deborah. However, everything was settled now and there weren’t any problems. “Nothing can hinder us anymore once we deal with Angel.”
“Hahaha!” William was amused by Valeria. “Don’t worry about dealing with her, and you can let her fight against Azalea. You can just be a witness!”
“By the way, there won’t be any problem since the party was planned so spontaneously tonight, right?”
“Of course! You don’t have to worry about this problem at all. You will know when you go there tonight!”
“Where is the gown? Ask Richard to send it over immediately to me so I can meet Braelynn. I have a lot of things to do today. I have to accompany Braelynn to dress her up beautifully. I want her to familiarize herself with the venue’s process as well. In short, Braelynn will be the most beautiful and brightest star of the event tonight!”
“You can meet Braelynn first and Richard will send the dress directly to the hotel later. The makeup artist has been arranged to wait in the hotel, so you can take Braelynn to the hotel later.”
“You’ve arranged everything?” Valeria suddenly sighed. “Hubby, I suddenly feel a little jealous! I feel jealous of Braelynn. I think I’ll be pampered more if I was your sister.”
“Don’t I spoil you enough?” William pinched her face. “Don’t be too greedy. If I take your words seriously, I might as well keep you by my side and spoil you every day.”
“Have you ever held a party for me in Wolf Group?” Valeria retorted.
“Well, it’s my fault. Shall I arrange a party for you now?”
When Valeria saw William pick up his phone to make a call, she stopped him. “Are you serious? I’m not the kind of person who wouldn’t know your priorities. To be honest, I’m glad that Braelynn is your cousin because I’ll have a younger sister!”
Lucian’s call came a few minutes after Braelynn arrived at the company. “Braelynn, I just saw the report. Did you accept Hayden as your godfather? Is that true?”
Lucian, who had been on the trending list yesterday, realized that things were a little weird. However, Braelynn didn’t know what she meant. She didn’t call Lucian to inform her because she wanted to see Lucian’s reaction. She replied calmly, “Yes!”
Lucian didn’t care at all when she sensed Braelynn’s cold attitude. She said in an extremely intimate tone, “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter? I’m so happy for you!”
Lucian clearly wanted some benefits from this and Braelynn didn’t like it at all. She frowned and said, “It’s not a big deal, is it? In fact, I don’t want to be his goddaughter anyway.”
“Don’t be silly. The Howard family is second to none in B City. Since you’ve become Hayden’s goddaughter, you’ll be protected in the future. No one will ever look down on you.”
Braelynn heard Lucian’s words and felt uncomfortable. “Mom, you know I don’t care about this and I don’t want to gain any advantages from others. It’s better to be independent.”
“I know you’re a determined child, but I’m still happy for you. By the way, have you prepared the dress and jewellery for the party tonight?”
Braelynn tried to keep calm. “Valeria prepared it for me!”
“Valeria? You can call her your sister-in-law in the future!” Lucian joked. “By the way, can you let me go to the party tonight?”
The purpose of Lucian’s call was to get an invitation. Braelynn smiled bitterly. “Mom, William was the one who planned and arranged everything. I can’t get the invitation for you.”
Braelynn’s refusal made Lucian obviously unhappy. “Why don’t you ask Valeria to give you an invitation card? I’m sure William will listen to Valeria. It’s just an invitation card…”
Braelynn interrupted before Lucian could finish her sentence, “Mom, your daughter, who you’ve worked hard to raise, will soon become someone else’s goddaughter. Why is this something worth celebrating? Don’t you feel sad at all? My dad is very sad because he wants me to be his only daughter. When he found out that Hayden acknowledged me as his goddaughter, he was angry with me.”
“Your dad is a blockhead. I’m doing this for your own good…”
“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll feel awkward? To be honest, I feel very embarrassed. I’m just an ordinary worker, but I’ve gotten involved with such a rich and powerful family. I feel so out of place!”
Lucian’s expression changed when she heard what Braelynn had said and she hung up the phone angrily.
Braelynn was clearly disregarding Lucian and she had gotten bolder than before.
Lucian picked up her phone and sent a message. “She rejected me and she didn’t want to send me an invitation. I can’t go to the banquet!”
