Chapter 985
Daxton didn't like social activities, so very few people came to the Evans family's old house. This time, it was quite lively. Since
the morning, guests had been coming one after another.
Several of the Evans family's children were responsible for receiving guests. Dora's mouth was sweet and she was the only girl
in the Evans family. As such, she received a lot of attention. All the noble women scrambled to strike up a conversation with her.
This was the moment that Dora enjoyed the most.
Her biological mother was just a short-sighted woman from the countryside. Her biological father was a dull countryman. She
was born into a mud-like family and lived in the countryside. How could she see the prosperity of City W?
But today, she was standing here in the manner of a hostess, talking to rich women from all over the world. Even the haughty
noblewoman had to suck up to her. No one dared to mention that lowly family background in front of her, because she was the
Fourth Miss of the Evans family, and she was Harold's fiancee.
At this point, Dora was already very satisfied. As long as she and Harold got married, she would be able to do whatever she
wanted in Hallbury in the future.
But...
Dora frowned.
After all, there was a thorn in her throat.
Two years ago, she thought that this thorn had been removed quickly, but she didn't expect it to be so deep. It was so deep that
she couldn't calm down when she saw a person who was somewhat similar to that person.
"Fourth Miss?" Someone beside her asked with a smile, "Are you waiting for Master White?"
Dora was a little shy."... He has an important meeting today, so he will come a little late. I don't know what time he will arrive, but
I'm not waiting for him."
She did not lie. At this moment, the person she was waiting for was Poppy.
She couldn't wait to know what expression the Evans family would have on their faces when they saw Poppy.
But at this time, the banquet was about to begin, but Poppy hadn't arrived yet.
At this moment, someone said, "By the way, Fourth Miss, didn't you invite Poppy as well? Why haven't I seen her yet?"
Dora turned her head and saw that it was Jocelyn who was speaking.
Logically speaking, Jocelyn was not qualified to attend the birthday banquet tonight. At this time, most of the people present who
were not qualified to attend the banquet were holding the invitation cards sent by Dora. Jocelyn was very happy that she could
come. However, when she knew that Poppy was also invited, she instantly felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Yes, I invited Miss Ramsey." Dora frowned and said, "I thought that Miss Ramsey is not familiar with this place as she has just
flown back here, so I especially waited for her here. Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
"Not familiar with this place?" Jocelyn laughed. "She's probably afraid as she has never seen such a grand occasion before,
right?"
Daxton's birthday party was not on the same level as the charity party last time. The people who came today were all influential
people in City W. Many of the big shots were rarely seen before. Even an experienced person like Jocelyn was afraid. With her
ability to judge people, she naturally felt that Crystal was afraid of the scene.
"I heard that Poppy is just lucky to have such a little talent. Her family background is very ordinary. She is just an orphan. Her
adoptive parents and family conditions are just so-so. She is an embroidery worker. It's understandable that she is afraid of
showing up on such a grand occasion."
As soon as Jocelyn finished speaking, many people immediately laughed out loud.
It was very normal to exclude new people in every circle. It was not so easy for Poppy to make a name for herself as soon as
she came back.
Dora sighed softly."... Maybe I didn't think it through. I thought of inviting my friends over to have fun on my father's birthday. I
didn't expect that she had never been to such an occasion."
