“Understood.”
Zachary decided to let Jonathan tire himself out first.
After all, the birthday banquet for Niel was currently underway, and it wouldn’t be good to dampen the mood.
He had plenty of time now.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Cecilia arrived at the banquet one after the other.
Not wanting to draw the attention of the rest of the Rainsworth family, Cecilia deliberately waited. a while before going over, only after Nathaniel entered.
Nathaniel noticed her subtle intentions, yet he chose to remain silent.
After weathering a minor storm, Stella had finally managed to win over the reporters present.
Upon seeing Nathaniel approach, she quickly recollected herself and walked over to him. “Nathaniel, the banquet has already started. Everyone’s wishing Old Mr. Rainsworth a happy. birthday. Why are you just arriving now? I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time.”
Nathaniel had no inclination to report his actions to others.
He said nonchalantly, “Then you don’t have to wait any more from now on.”
Stella was taken aback.
She was unwilling to accept it, but upon seeing Cecilia enter, she seemed to understand something.
She couldn’t help but clench her fists.
As soon as Nathaniel entered, all eyes in the room were drawn to him. Most people saw this as an opportunity to curry favor with the youngest head of the Rainsworth family.
Elena felt an exceptional sense of pride.
Nathaniel first encountered Niel, who had a head full of white hair and leaned on a cane, but still had a twinkle in his eyes, and wished him a happy birthday.
Stella also wanted to seize this opportunity to make a name for herself in high society.
“Grandpa, I’ve also brought a gift for you today.”
Even though Niel didn’t particularly like her, just like Elena, he simply wished for Nathaniel to settle down soon.
In addition, a few days ago, the song written by Stella proved that she was more than just a pretty face.
Hence, he received the gift.
Stella gifted a piece of high–quality nephrite, which was practically insignificant to the Rainsworth family.
However, the fact that Niel accepted it confirmed that Stella had gained the approval of the Rainsworth family.
Cecilia stood amidst the crowd, listening to the people’s discussions.
“She’s really gone from rags to riches.”
“Yeah, an orphan rose to stardom, and now she’s set to become the future daughter–in–law of the Rainsworth family.”
“It wasn’t just luck on her part, you know. Have you heard her new song? It’s truly amazing.”
Cecilia listened quietly, her expression unchanged, because soon, the grand gift she had prepared for Stella was about to arrive.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Stella was oblivious to it. She gradually made her way to Cecilia. As she listened to the flattery of those around her, her eyes were filled with pride and satisfaction.
“You saw it, didn’t you, Ceci? The world has changed. Now, it’s me who stands by Nathaniel’s side.”
A smile tugged at the corner of Cecilia’s mouth. “Is that so?”
“Be careful, extreme joy often leads to sorrow.”
Stella simply thought she was just jealous of her, oblivious to the fact that the conversations of those around her had already shifted.
“Guys, check out the news! It turns out that Stella’s new song, Ray of Light in the Dark, was actually plagiarized from a foreign composer!”
One person read the news, and the others quickly went over.
Discussion erupted everywhere.
“Oh my God, this isn’t plagiarism. It’s copy–pasting, isn’t it? The tune is exactly the same. She just added some lyrics.”
“Goodness, I really didn’t expect this…”
“How could the Rainsworth family accept such a daughter–in–law?”
The murmurs of the crowd gradually caught Niel’s attention.
He summoned someone and asked about it.
