Chapter 12 The Banquet
When Lily’s mind is wandering, the sound in the bathroom stops, and Jason is about to come out, she
puts back his phone and pretends to pick up the clothes.
“What are you doing here?” asks Jason. When he sees Lily is in his room, he is very surprised, but
after he knows that Lily is only picking up his clothes at that time, he seems to be at ease.
Lily looks as usual, she laughs and gives him back his clothes and says, “I did not see you in my room,
I just come here to talk with you of how much money do you think we should give to your cousin,
because he is going to hold a dinner party for his new born son.”
“We are in close relationship. What about giving him eighty thousand?”
It is a large amount of money.
Lily tries to hold back her surprise, but finally she says, “I think it is okay, but I gave all the money to
Janet, and you know that, Jason, my mother is staying at the hospital right now, I do not have enough
cash in my hand, maybe you should pay for it.”
Jason is surprised, and he says subliminally, “You earn a lot in your department, and I believe that it
does not take you much to pay for the treatment of your mother, right?” He suddenly realizes that Lily is
looking at himself directly and he knows he makes a big mistake.
He changes his tone and says, “Lily, what I am trying to say is you used to be in charge of all the
expenses in our family. I know nothing about it, maybe this time, you should be the one who pay for it.”
“Jason, I admit that I have a higher salary, but to be honest, I gave most of it to Janet,” Lily says, tries
to control her anger. “I think we should ask Janet to give us back the money so I could pay for it,
without her, I do not have any money.”
Jason is annoyed. He does not realize that Lily, who has been such a good wife, has a tough attitude
this time.
He is forced to agree with her and says he would take that money from his mother.
And he happens to see that Lily is holding some documents in her hands and asks her what that is.
After saying that, he intends to take it from Lily’s hands. But Lily steps back.
“It is nothing, only a translation document,” says Lily, “I was looking for a pen in my room, but I could
not find it, so I come here to look for another pen.”
Jason does not have any doubt and points to her, saying “My pen is over there, on the table.”
“I know, and I have already signed it up. You have a good rest and I am leaving.”
When she returns her room, she is heartbroken.
She thinks she was such an idiot before, because she thought she took advantage of the Smith Family
and got a lot of benefit, but in fact, she did everything with caution. When Janet wants to throw a party,
she would plan it herself. When it is someone’s birthday, she will pay for the bill. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Right now, her mother is in the hospital, she does not have any cash and tells Jason to pay for the
money, but she is turned down and condemned of not having any money.
How ridiculous!
Jason paid for everything that the woman wants, her money should just go into their bank account?
When she thinks about the conversation between her husband and that woman, and the attitude that
Jason shows her, she holds the divorcement document firmly, and her eyes are becoming fierce.
Jason and that woman tried to set her up, she should take revenge.
Soon, the day of the dinner party arrives. Lily dresses herself well up and goes to a restaurant with
Jason and Janet.
When they arrive, Lily finds out that Jason’s cousin is holding the party in a famous restaurant in the
city center. It must cost a lot of money.
Jason’s cousin runs a company, which also costs a lot of money, but he decides to hold the party in
such an restaurant, wouldn’t it be too expensive?
Janet knows that this is a fancy restaurant.
So, when she sees Jason’s cousin Jack and his wife Susan, she comes forward and says in surprise,
“You chose a nice place, but would it be too expensive for you two?”
“Janet, we are a family,” replies Susan with a big smile, “We are so delighted that you can come the
party. We do not care about the money.”
Lily shows a mysterious smile.
Family? She knows Susan well, she is such a woman, mean and arrogant.
After a few seconds, Susan says, “Actually, we do not want to hold the party in such an expensive
restaurant, but my husband Jack sent a message to Louis Smith, and he agreed to come here, which
surprised us a lot, so we had to choose this place not to embarrass ourselves.”
Janet is not happy.
Even Lily is very surprised.
Jason and Jack’s uncle, is he coming here?
It must be impossible, Louis is so busy, he does not have time to come here I guess. And, he did not
care about the family members, it is impossible for him to attend the party.
