Frightened by his expression, I knew that I wouldn't get the truth, and stopped asking.The car stopped after more than half an hour.
The Forbes family was definitely well-known for being a real estate company. The villa was located in a winery with the best scenery in the suburbs.and it looked like a castle from a distance. It was not yet seven o' clock. The heating lamps around were turned on, and jets of water from the fountainwere squirting in the light. They were like elves in the night, which made the whole castle seem mysterious and solemn.
The Roberts were the richest family in Ucrebury. The villa was decent, even for Jarold City. But after getting out of the car, I could feel the solemnnessbrought by the Forbes's villa, and it was then that the gap between Ucrebury and Jarold City occurred to me.
As usual, Aaron took my arm and walked onto the red carpet, with Hendrix following behind us.
Valerie and Pedro had arrived. When we entered the room, they were having a lively conversation.
When Valerie spotted us, she stood up and welcomed us. “You're here."
With her approaching, Aaron naturally let go of my hand and slowed down his pace to keep pace with Hendrix.
The others stood up one after another. They were well- mannered. After some introductions, I spotted Eddison, who was feared by Pedro andCharles.
He was sitting on the sofa opposite me, dressed in simple attire, with silver hair and a folding fan in his hand. He looked kind and amiable, smiling ateveryone, which was completely different from what I imagined. The manners and temperament of him being an elite were discernible.
Not long after chatting. we sat at the table. Aaron insisted on sitting next to me that day and I didn't know why, so Hendrix had to sit between Elijahand Pedro.
The position of people's seats at the banquet often determined their status. That day was obviously a party for the Forbes family, yet Eddison wassitting in the head seat. Obviously. the Forbes family respected him very much.
After the wine was poured into the glass, Eddison picked up the small spoon in front of him and knocked on the wine glass. The clear tinkling soundimmediately attracted everyone's attention.
He said, “Here, let's raise our glasses together, for Mr. Roberts and Mr. Forbes’ friendship, and them resolving their argument."
It was unexpected that he was the peacemaker.
