Just thinking about her daughter Milly getting Mr. Lucas’s favor made her beam.
Old Madam Gray’s face instantly creased into a smile from ear to ear.
“Milly, you must make us proud on this opportunity!”
“With such a great opportunity, if you could soar into the sky and become a phoenix… Don’t forget to take back the Gray family for your grandmother!”
“Enough, Mom. We’re way past talking about the Gray family. If Milly does get Mr. Lucas’s favor, not just one, even ten Gray families can be retrieved.”
Upon hearing Rowena’s words, Madam Gray’s eyes turned into thin lines with laughter, “Yes, yes, indeed. Our Milly is the capable one. I knew I doted on her for good reason.”
“Of course.”
Rowena nodded in agreement.
“But Mom, don’t forget the purpose of our visit today. If that little slut Lily Gray comes to mess things up later, you have to show her your authority as a grandmother and suppress her.”
“If you handle this well, Mrs. Lucas will surely look at us with new eyes!”
“I know, don’t worry… As long as that losing bet dares to cause a scene, I’ll make her kneel down and serve tea to Mrs. Lucas to apologize!”
Just as the mother and daughter finished their conversation, a waiter appeared, leading more guests in.
Rowena glanced back inadvertently, and saw the two men and two women being led to the table behind theirs.
She silently counted in her heart, “One, two, three…ten…”
Oh, the tenth table.
When Rowena saw Austin Lucas’s family at Table 10, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
She hadn’t expected Lily Gray’s ex-husband’s family to be assigned to the tenth table.
She couldn’t help but snicker at the thought of their haughty and arrogant demeanor towards her family in the past.
Rowena and Madam Gray exchanged amused glances.

Austin Lucas’s family, who were seated at the tenth table, had yet to realize that their former in-laws were sitting at Table 2.
This time, it was Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas’s first time attending such a grand banquet.
In the past, they had attended a few small banquets at the Lucas family residence, thanks to the fact that Madam Lucas had taken a liking to Lily Gray.
However, today was their first time attending a banquet on such a large scale.
Especially for Michelle, this was the first banquet she had attended with Brandon Lucas since she had been promoted from mistress to wife.
From the moment she arrived at the hotel, her chin had never been lowered.
It was held high, as if afraid that others would not know that she was now an official member of the Lucas family.
“Our table will be shared with members of the Lucas family’s side branch. You and Zara should be quiet and behave yourselves.”
After the four of them settled down, Brandon furrowed his brow and whispered the order.
“Husband, don’t worry. I promise to perform well tonight and not embarrass you. As for Zara, you don’t need to worry at all. The etiquette teacher praised her and said that she has been making great progress recently.”
Michelle fluttered her eyelashes at Brandon, a warm, romantic gaze full of tenderness in her delicately painted eyes.
Upon seeing this, Brandon coughed twice uneasily, “Just make sure you and Zara perform well. Later, I will introduce Austin and Zara to the other families.”
At this point, Brandon turned to look at Zara, who was sitting next to Michelle.
“Especially you, Zara. Some of the guests tonight are wealthy heirs of a marriageable age. You must seize this opportunity to perform well!”
Zara obediently nodded, “Yes, Dad, I understand.”
Brandon frowned, “How many times do I have to tell you to call me Daddy? Your current identity is my daughter who just returned from studying abroad. These habits and details can easily reveal the fact that you have never been abroad.”

I recommend a book, “Evil Phoenix World: Beastly Black Ghost Emperor Abduction”, which is worth reading if you’re interested in books.
