Lucas helped Beatrice organize the birthday banquet with the hope of bringing joy to his grandparents. At their age, they often stayed at home and did not have many friends. As they themselves admitted, they were losing their friends left and right to old age.

Lucas did not want them to be confined to their home just because of their age. He also hoped to bring more liveliness to the old mansion by having a gathering. In fact, Lucas did not need to give any face to the guests of the banquet. However, for the sake of Cedric and Beatrice's happiness, he quietly followed behind them and acted as their dutiful grandson.

Sometimes, he knew what his grandparents liked to hear. Especially when others praised them for having such a successful grandson like Lucas, their faces would light up even more. Melody had been with Beatrice for a while, and he glanced in that direction with some concern.

At that moment, Thalia and Quinn approached gracefully. Cedric's expression faded a little when he saw Thalia. He had not expected her to still be in the country. Previously, he and Lucas had agreed to send her away.

However, after Lucas and Melody had moved out, Thalia no longer hovered around them, so it was easier for Beatrice to accept her staying in the country. Otherwise, given what Thalia had done and Beatrice's personality, Beatrice would not have tolerated her staying.

During the birthday banquet, Thalia behaved tactfully. She simply raised her glass toward Cedric.

"Grandpa Cedric, I was foolish before, so I made some mistakes. But now, I understand my place and know what I should and shouldn't do. By the way, do you know where Grandma Beatrice is? I'd like to properly apologize to her too," said Thalia.

Cedric smiled faintly. "It's enough to have the thought. She's feeling a bit tired, so she's resting upstairs. You young people don't need to worry about us. Go and have fun with others."

Cedric was well aware that his wife was probably very happy at that moment, especially with Melody by her side. However, her mood might change if she saw Thalia.

Thalia's smile faded slightly, but she managed to maintain her composure. After exchanging a few more words with him, she left with Quinn.

After they turned away, Quinn complained, "Why did you call me over? I was having a good time talking to those guys over there."

Thalia rolled her eyes. "Is there anything else in your mind besides men? How can you only think about getting to know those guys on such an important occasion? Do I need to remind you that knowing any one of the people here will be beneficial for your future?"

Quinn rolled her eyes back at her. "Different strokes for different folks. You say my mind is filled with nothing but men, but aren't you the same? We all know why you're here today."

Moreover, who was to say who was more noble between the two of them? After all, Thalia was still trying to get on the Riveras' good side. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Has she forgotten that when she went to greet old Mister Rivera just now, Lucas didn't even spare her a glance? He obviously only cares about Melody,' thought Quinn. Thalia gritted her teeth, unable to maintain her smile any longer.
