Secret Marriage, High-Profile Pampering!-Chapter 753: Not a Single Simple Member of the Walyons
Summer Sutton finished the fruit on her plate and, feeling a chill in her stomach, calmly went to the buffet area to get a steaming bowl of soup to drink slowly.
So many things happened throughout the banquet, yet her mood seemed untouched from start to finish. How strong must someone like that be inside?
Lorraine Hughes couldn’t imagine.
Lorraine watched Summer Sutton quietly for a moment, suddenly thinking this woman might be much harder to deal with than her appearance suggests.
Not far away, a pair of eyes watched the scene from beginning to end and coldly sneered...
Diana Wood left a bunch of guests behind to go upstairs, and for the rest of the evening, she disregarded everything at the banquet.
Summer Sutton finished her hot soup slowly, stood up, and alongside Sophie Walyon, walked through the banquet venue as if nothing had happened, even helping her greet guests.
"Everyone who came to the Walyons tonight is a guest of the family; if any hosts fell short, we hope for your understanding."
She walked through the crowd, smiling and conversing with the guests around her, calmly dealing with various situations, her demeanor gracious and composed, fulfilling all obligations of a host.
Lorraine Hughes, standing by, was momentarily dazzled by the sight.
Was she asserting her status as the lady of this house? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The banquet ended at nine-thirty.
Summer Sutton escorted all the guests out of the Walyon Family’s door.
Usually, she had almost no presence in the Walyon Family; in Diana’s circle of friends, everyone treated her like a pushover, rarely hearing Diana mention her.
But after tonight, all the guests who came here remembered her name.
No one in the Walyons is simple, indeed!
Lorraine Hughes was the last to leave. As her car drove away from the Walyon family’s mansion and approached a nearby bus stop, a vehicle blocked her path.
The car door opened, and someone stepped out from the car in front. Seeing the face clearly, Lorraine Hughes widened her eyes in astonishment...
...
Diana Wood had been sulking these few days, almost never showing up at the dining table for three meals a day, deliberately avoiding Adrian Walyon and his wife.
Summer Sutton never said much at the banquet the past couple of days; just mentioning moving back to Morning Garden had already sanctioned Diana Wood.
Diana was not as meddlesome as before these days, noticeably more well-behaved, occasionally running into Summer Sutton at home, only glaring at her, stifled with words but saying nothing.
She was truly impressed by Summer Sutton.
The mother-in-law conflict isn’t particularly severe now, but if it worsens, she’s afraid Summer will take the child abroad after it’s born.
After all, the Morningview Group is already overseas, and the family moving to the United Kingdom makes work convenient.
Now Diana Wood is somewhat apprehensive about Summer Sutton.
The day after the banquet, Adrian Walyon still went to work at the Walyon Clan Group.
In the afternoon, he received an invitation; it was a call from Lorraine Hughes’s father.
The two companies have been cooperating, and previously, any business matters from the Hughes Family were always handled through Adrian Walyon.
Father Hughes arranged to meet Adrian at a mountain resort hotel, the time being five in the afternoon, just right after work.
Adrian handled affairs at the company during the day, then after work drove straight to the agreed resort.
He didn’t explicitly tell Summer Sutton whom he was meeting, only mentioning over the phone that he’d be home late and arranged for a driver to pick her up.
