Mrs. Morgan was once the old lady of the Western Chamber of Commerce. She was quite resourceful in her youth and was also very famous in the business world. Although she retired to the backyard in her old age, she still held the power of the Morgan family for many years.
Mrs. Morgan's 70th birthday was expected to be very grand, with many relatives and friends attending.
The birthday party was held at the old house, in case Natalie arrived in the capital a day earlier.
Today, Mrs. Morgan was the main character of the birthday party. In order not to overwhelm the guests, Natalie deliberately chose a pearl-trimmed milk tea dress, exuding charm and elegance.
Her skin was already fair, but when wearing a milk tea dress, she looked even more like a porcelain doll.
Natalie glanced at her phone, just in time for Samuel to agree to pick her up.
Samuel's car was already parked downstairs at the hotel where Natalie was staying.
Natalie slowly walked out in her elegant high heels, and Samuel momentarily lost his composure.
The exquisite outfit, the elegant smile, and the confident and calm gestures were completely unlike the Natalie he knew. Or perhaps it was because he had never looked at Natalie seriously.
Natalie got into the car and sat next to Samuel, but tilted her head to look out the window with an indifferent expression, completely not intending to talk to him.
The same with Samuel.
The distance from the hotel to his old house was not too far, and the two of them did not speak along the way. The journey seemed to be getting longer and longer.
Finally arriving at the destination.
Samuel got out of the car first, went around to the other side, and opened the car door for Natalie politely. Natalie put her hand on his shoulder and got out of the car with a gentle smile on her lips.
Acting, she could do it too.
Samuel's second uncle, Jay Morgan, led his son Sebastian Morgan to greet the guests at the door. Sebastian had a sharp eye and had already noticed the situation here since Samuel's car stopped.
Seeing Natalie get out of the car, Sebastian's expression changed from surprise to delight. Something good happened today.
"Second uncle."
As Samuel approached, Jay also saw his eldest nephew.
Today was the old lady's birthday party; they were clearly all members of the Morgan family. Their family was having a hard time here, but Samuel came late as a guest; Jay's expression clearly showed dissatisfaction.
"Come in, the old lady is waiting inside."
The cousin Sebastian beside him also had no intention of greeting.
Samuel nodded. He raised his hand and entered the hall with Natalie.
The appearance of Samuel and Natalie attracted all eyes in the hall, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, truly a match made in heaven, standing out wherever they went.
Mrs. Morgan was surrounded by a group of ladies, and she also saw the two of them walking hand in hand.
She was both surprised and happy. She knew that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law would come, but she didn't expect them to come at the same time. Seeing the intimate scene between the two of them, she felt like she was dreaming.
"Grandma, Natalie, and I are happy for your birthday."
Mrs. Morgan regained her composure; Samuel and Natalie had already left before her.
"Grandma, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little." Seeing Mrs. Morgan, Natalie let go of Samuel, sat down next to her, and lovingly hugged her arm.
She really missed Mrs. Morgan a little.
"Okay, okay, okay." Mrs. Morgan was overjoyed to see the two of them getting along. She patted Natalie's hand and said hello three times.
"Natalie, I miss you too."
Samuel was her eldest son and her most beloved grandson, and Natalie was her chosen grandchild. She was very happy to see the two getting along well, but she didn't rush to ask how they got along.
Samuel looked at the intimate appearance of Natalie and her grandmother, grandfather, and grandson, and pursed his lips. Natalie was really good at coaxing the old lady.
Mrs. Morgan held Natalie's hand and introduced her to the relatives and friends one by one: "This is my granddaughter-in-law, Natalie, and I need you to take care of her in the future."
In the corner, Lily looked at Natalie sitting next to Mrs. Morgan, the young wife of the Morgan family, her hands clenched into fists, almost crazy with jealousy.
Natalie, why? Why are you still haunted even though you and Samuel are divorced?
Lily sneaked out of Crosby, and she didn't want Samuel to find out, because she wanted to confirm her identity in front of everyone, so she had to swallow her saliva first.
It turned out that Sebastian had intentionally created an opportunity for Lily to sneak into the birthday party. Just now, he had been secretly following Lily's movements and had covered for her many times without missing a trace.
Of course, he did not miss her distorted expression, and his heart was filled with laughter.
Lily did not disappoint him.
Mrs. Morgan's feelings for Natalie were known to everyone. They had heard about Natalie's background long ago. A nameless girl had luckily entered the Morgan family's door. Wasn't she a small family to the core? Just a few tricks could make the old lady happy.
Most of the guests were from noble families or senior families; they looked down on Natalie, and they couldn't get used to her being favored by the old lady.
Of course, no one understood what the old lady wanted; they responded enthusiastically on the surface, but in their hearts, they had other plans.
Natalie completely ignored their thoughts. Today, she only wished for Mrs. Morgan to be happy.
Mrs. Morgan sat on the left of the Hudson family's mother and daughter. The Hudson family and the Morgan family were considered close friends. Sierra Hudson, the Hudson family's daughter, had secretly loved Samuel for many years but had never received Samuel's attention.
She looked at Natalie with an unwilling expression and said, "Mrs. Morgan loves you very much. You can't disappoint her. I don't know what precious gift you brought to Mrs. Morgan today. Why don't you show us so we can broaden our horizons?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, looking at Natalie with teasing eyes.
Natalie had no background, so naturally, no one came forward to save her, and everyone's faces were written with 'it has nothing to do with me'.
Just as Mrs. Morgan was about to open her mouth, Natalie quietly pressed her hand down. Mrs. Morgan did not need to worry about this trivial matter.
Natalie looked at Sierra mischievously. The Hudson family and the Morgan family were close friends, but she called her sister instead of sister-in-law; this was not what to admit her identity as a young wife. She did not remember where she had offended this girl, perhaps because of Samuel's debt.
"Little sister, you may be young and ignorant. The most important thing about a gift is not the price, but its meaning." Natalie smiled mockingly.
Sierra immediately blushed. Natalie was scolding her for being young and ignorant.
However, after hearing Natalie's words, everyone understood in their hearts that with Natalie's status, there was definitely no gift that could be given.
At this time, Sierra didn't want to be humiliated, so she just kept quiet and asked directly: "Then, Natalie, why don't you quickly express your intentions to everyone?"
Sierra's words hit everyone's heart. Most people liked to see others make fun of, and the rich were no exception.
With a helpless expression, Natalie opened the bag she was carrying under everyone's expectant eyes.
