SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 490 - 488: CHARITY BANQUET

With all the invited guests pouring into the hall, it wasn’t long before everyone was seated and the banquet was about to start.

Inside the hall, there were a lot of Gesalsi natives and a few foreign faces.

Among the few foreign faces, there were three striking people in the crowd, and it was Diamond, Wyatt, and Nolan’s group.

They were the only black people at the banquet and seeing them there, every person was curious as to who they were. What kind of business do they do and how much they were going to spend on such a day?

Such questions and curiosity were normal in places like these. After all, people tend to gather to make connections and make their networks wider.

Doing charity was another way of improving their image out there and also showing how fat their wallets were.

But for someone like Diamond, doing charity was a matter of life and death. By doing it for a long time, it had been ingrained in her bones that she couldn’t live without doing so. frёeωebɳovel.com

As long as there was a chance to help someone, she didn’t mind spending money.

Maybe it was because of that, that despite telling herself several times that she mustn’t do impulsive buying, she still ends up doing it.

The concept of spending and giving out money was just so much in her that it was becoming hard to stop it.

And when giving, it didn’t matter how much she gave out. As long as those receiving it were happy. She would also be happy.

At the table where the three were sitting, there were two ladies with them.

Looking at the two ladies, one of them was probably in her thirties while the other one was older. Diamond wasn’t sure how old but there was something very strange about this old woman. Her radar was screaming otherwise.

It was too bad that she didn’t bring her phone, so she couldn’t ask Andrea to help her find out more about her.

At the same time, she couldn’t telepathically communicate with Andrea, so she would have to wait until they were alone.

Although she wore an earpiece right now, she didn’t dare ask anything. She would keep a low profile. And if Andrea has something to share with her, she would listen and keep it in mind.

However, being at the same table, they just couldn’t sit without talking and, as the other lady at the table, the burden was on her to communicate with the ladies.

And that didn’t seem to be pretty bad. She had been doing it pretty well all this time, so she didn’t think that she would fail.

With a prepared mind and a smile on her face, she turned to look at the oldest and politely greeted in the universal language, since she wasn’t sure of what country the lady came from. "Hello. How are you?"

The lady, upon getting the greeting, politely looked at Diamond as she answered, "Hello to you, too. I am doing well and yourself?"

"Pretty much okay. Thank you for asking. I am Diamond. Diamond Perry and these two are my good friends, Nolan and Wyatt." she introduced the two to the lady, and the other nodded her head with satisfaction.

"It’s nice meeting you, Ms. Diamond, Sir Nolan and Sir Wyatt! You can call me Lady Aumbrey!" the lady introduced herself.

Diamond beamed when she heard the lady’s name. "Lady Aumbrey! Um, what a nice name!" she couldn’t help but praise it genuinely.

Lady Aumbrey, seeing Diamond’s reaction and her directness, couldn’t help but paste a smile on her face.

’She was indeed just like the rumors describe her!’ she mused inwardly.

"And this young lady here is my daughter, Lady Helen. She is accompanying me on this trip," Lady Aumbrey, introduced the fifth person at the table.

Upon hearing that, Diamond looked at Helen with a bit of a surprise on her face. She didn’t think that these people were mother and daughter at all.

They didn’t look the same at all and Lady Aumbrey looked too young to have such an old daughter. Not that she was calling Helen too old for her age. Just that her mother maintained herself pretty well, that it just didn’t seem that the two were somewhat related.

Diamond didn’t gaze for long as in the process she spoke. "It’s nice to meet you, lady Helen."

Helen nodded with a smile towards Diamond as she replied politely, "The pleasure is all mine, Ms. Diamond," and in her mind, she couldn’t help but wonder why her mother had to come all this way just to check on this person.

Was she really worthy of all the effort?

Diamond, unaware of what was running through Helen’s mind, encouraged her male friends to chat a bit with the two ladies, and shortly, everyone at the table was on good terms.

Diamond was a good talker, especially when she was with people she really liked, and with her as the bridge, the five of them enjoyed a lot as they waited for the host to start the banquet.

After waiting for a while, the MC finally appeared, and it was a pretty lady in a red dress wearing a lovely fur coat. Upon seeing the coat, Diamond’s eyes shone and her desire couldn’t be hidden.

Lady Aumbrey, seeing her like that, couldn’t help but chuckle as she asked her, "Ms. Diamond, do you like that coat?"

Diamond turned to look at the lady and nodded her head without shying away. "It looks very pretty and very white!"

Just seeing how milky white it was; made her think about the wonderful snow she had gotten to like. Having such a coat in her wardrobe would make her remember this place for a long time.

Lady Aumbrey, upon hearing that, nearly cursed out loud but still maintained a smile on her face.

"If you like it, I can part with one of mine. You will surely love it!" in the end, she couldn’t help but blurt this out, her statement taking Helen by surprise.

’Mom! What are you doing? That’s one expensive coat you want to give away!’

Diamond, being clueless of what was happening in these two’s minds, looked excitedly at Lady Aumbrey.

It wasn’t every day that she received gifts. So, whenever someone offers her something without being pressured into it, her joy levels would always increase.

"Really? But won’t that be too much for you? I mean, I can just go and buy one!" Diamond asked with a mixture of excitement and worry laced in her tone.

She didn’t want this to be problematic, especially when they just met.
