Chapter 104
Elaina and Theodore talked on the phone for a long time. They discussed where to start with the Lory family before hanging up the phone.
In the blink of an eye, it was already four in the afternoon. There were only two hours before Elaina left for the birthday party at six. Instead of sitting on the sofa, she got up, went into the cloakroom, and began to dress up.
Tonight’s birthday banquet was held in New York’s most luxurious hotel, the Royal Hotel. The Halton family rented the entire hotel.
As the organizer of the birthday banquet, Jalen came to the hotel early to supervise. It was Nitzan’s 70th birthday, and of course, he had to pay attention to every detail.
“Mr. Jalen, you may get some rest. I’ve got it covered.” Jalen had been busy the whole day. Seeing that, Takvor could not help but suggest.
Jalen did not leave but asked, “Where is Grandpa?”
“Mr. Halton is resting upstairs. Are you going up to him?” Takvor asked.
Jalen thought for a while and nodded. “Yes. I’ll leave everything here to you then.”
“Sure. Don’t worry.”
Jalen left the banquet hall and took the elevator upstairs to the lounge.
In the lounge, Nitzan was leisurely drinking coffee.
Jalen pushed open the door and entered. Hearing the sound, Nitzan looked over. “Are you done downstairs?”
“Yes. Things are almost done. Takvor is keeping an eye on the rest. I guarantee that you won’t be embarrassed.” Jalen didn’t know why Nitzan insisted on making a big deal this time. For years, Nitzan’s birthday had been just a family dinner.
Nitzan smiled and nodded. He then said, “Then don’t stay here. Go fetch Ella.”
“Grandpa…” Jalen looked reluctant.
Nitzan was immediately unhappy and said angrily, “You brat! You said you’d give it a try. Then you should be more active. Do you really think you are that irreplaceable for Ella?”
“That’s not what I meant,” Jalen sighed. Then he said slowly, “She wouldn’t give me the chance anyway.”
Nitzan was surprised. He stared at Jalen for a long time before saying, “You have already met?”
Jalen nodded. “Yes.”
“What does Ella think of you?” Nitzan asked.
Jalen was silent for a while before he said, unwilling to admit it, “She hates me very much.”
Although it seemed that they had talked it out last night, Jalen knew that Elaina still disliked him. It was just that she hid her emotions well. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nitzan went silent and a little serious. He thought, if Ella does hate Jalen, things might get tricky.
He looked up and was about to say something when he suddenly saw the strange expression on Jalen’s face. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
“So, you said you’d give it a shot, because you had met Ella, and now you regret divorcing her?” Nitzan felt the urge to laugh, thinking that Jalen deserved it.
However, Jalen was his grandson, after all, so he shouldn’t embarrass Jalen. He had to hold back his laughter.
Jalen did not speak, but his silence had already made everything clear.
Nitzan sighed, “I told you Ella is a good girl. You just wouldn’t believe me. Now you regret it, don’t you?”
“Nitzan, do you know her well?” Jalen suddenly said. He didn’t think Nitzan knew Elaina well. At least Nitzan did not know about those mysterious identities of hers.
Nitzan thought for a moment and said, “I am friends with her grandfather. Back then, they moved
there. to the countryside because of certain things, and then Ella grew up
“However, I have to remind you that don’t look down on Ella because of that. Although she grew up in the countryside, she is as outstanding as those ladies in New York.”
Nitzan was worried that Jalen would look down on Elaina, because she grew up in the countryside, so he said so much to Jalen. However, it wasn’t what Jalen cared about at all.
