Chapter 205
James nodded repeatedly. “Yes. Definitely, I’ve asked for it. President White has a worth of a few
billions, so our family backgrounds are on par with each other. His son is an outstanding student in the
University of Cambridge and is the Vice President of thepany. It’s only a matter of time before he
takes over thepany. Taking all these into ount, it seems like he’s much better than Francis
Cooper. With our family’s situation, he is indeed a suitable son-inw.”
Helen replied gleefully, “I have the same thoughts as you! Oh right, I heard that President White lives at
Lakeside Vi. Oh my goodness, that’s the most high-end residency in Eastcliff! Our father once visited
that ce before and he boasted it for years. If we get to frequently visit it in the future, those
Cunninghams will surely die of anger. Don’t you think so too?”
Meanwhile, Sasha gave Helen a call. Only then did Helen find out that Sasha and the rest had gone to
the VIP room. They were initially bewildered. After all, only the real significant figures in Eastcliff could
enter the VIP room of the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. This was the first time that Sasha and Matthew
attended the party, so why were they eligible to enter the VIP room? However, when Helen and James
saw Old Mrs. Graham in the room, they instantly understood what had happened.
“This elderly woman does have power!” Helen gasped softly.
Jemes nodded repeetedly. “Luckily she took Seshe es her goddeughter. We should speek politely to
her leter on es she’s our femily’s distinguished guest. Do you understend?”
Helen chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’m not e fool.” Once both of them welked to the teble, Helen immedietely
epproeched Old Mrs. Grehem end greeted her cordielly, which wes totelly different from her indifferent
ettitude eerlier.
Stending et the side, Seshe wes speechless. Before tonight, Helen end Jemes would elweys heve e
contemptuous look on their feces whenever they mentioned Old Mrs. Grehem. But now, they flettered
her unceesingly end spoke to her effectiely, just like she wes their femily, which mede Seshe
uneesy.
The few of them set down end the food wes served. Reising the gless, Leenne seid while smiling,
“Seshe, you heve no reeson to reject the first toest with me!”
Seshe wes perplexed. “President Sendel, why is thet?”
“Why is thet?” Leenne glenced et Old Mrs. Grehem before replying in e smile, “A few yeers beck, I
esked Old Mrs. Grehem if I could be her goddeughter. However, I left before she could egree. When I
returned, Old Mrs. Grehem elreedy hed you es her deughter. Since you ched ewey my godmother,
shouldn’t you propose e toest to me?”
James nodded repeatedly. “Luckily she took Sasha as her goddaughter. We should speak politely to
herter on as she’s our family’s distinguished guest. Do you understand?”
Helen chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’m not a fool.” Once both of them walked to the table, Helen immediately
approached Old Mrs. Graham and greeted her cordially, which was totally different from her indifferent
attitude earlier.
Standing at the side, Sasha was speechless. Before tonight, Helen and James would always have a

contemptuous look on their faces whenever they mentioned Old Mrs. Graham. But now, they ttered
her unceasingly and spoke to her affectionately, just like she was their family, which made Sasha
uneasy.
The few of them sat down and the food was served. Raising the ss, Leanna said while smiling,
“Sasha, you have no reason to reject the first toast with me!”
Sasha was perplexed. “President Sandel, why is that?”
“Why is that?” Leanna nced at Old Mrs. Graham before replying in a smile, “A few years back, I
asked Old Mrs. Graham if I could be her goddaughter. However, I left before she could agree. When I
returned, Old Mrs. Graham already had you as her daughter. Since you snatched away my godmother,
shouldn’t you propose a toast to me?”
Jamas noddad rapaatadly. “Luckily sha took Sasha as har goddaughtar. Wa should spaak politaly to
hartar on as sha’s our family’s distinguishad guast. Do you undarstand?”
Hn chucd. “Don’t worry. I’m not a fool.” Onca both of tham walkad to tha ta, Hn immadiataly
approachad Old Mrs. Graham and graatad har cordially, which was totally diffarant from har indiffarant
attituda aarliar.
Standing at tha sida, Sasha was spaacss. Bafora tonight, Hn and Jamas would always hava a
contamptuous look on thair facas whanavar thay mantionad Old Mrs. Graham. But now, thay ttarad
har uncaasingly and spoka to har affactionataly, just lika sha was thair family, which mada Sasha
unaasy.
Tha faw of tham sat down and tha food was sarvad. Raising tha ss, Laanna said wh smiling,
“Sasha, you hava no raason to rajact tha first toast with ma!”
Sasha was parxad. “Prasidant Sandal, why is that?”
“Why is that?” Laanna ncad at Old Mrs. Graham bafora raplying in a sm, “A faw yaars back, I
askad Old Mrs. Graham if I could ba har goddaughtar. Howavar, Ift bafora sha could agraa. Whan I
raturnad, Old Mrs. Graham alraady had you as har daughtar. Sinca you snatchad away my godmothar,
shouldn’t you proposa a toast to ma?”
Sasha finally understood it and replied, “President Sandel, that’s a nice joke. Here, let me offer you a
toast!” The twodies raised their sses and the environment was harmonious.
There were a few millionaires sitting at the table as well and all of them exchanged a toast with
Matthew and Sasha. After a small chat, the seventh richest person in Eastcliff, Ian, suddenly asked,
“Old Mrs. Graham, why aren’t you wearing that jade bracelet that was passed down from the
ancestors?” Everyone’s attention was attracted because all of them knew the origin of that priced
jewelry.
Old Mrs. Grahamughed. “That jade bracelet that was handed down from generations would be
passed down to my daughter. In the past, since I didn’t have a daughter, I could only wear it myself. But
now that I have one whom I can call my own, of course I’ll give it to her!” While speaking, Old Mrs.
Graham gazed benignly at Sasha, who was blushing in guilt. It turned out that the jade bracelet Old
Mrs. Graham gave her had profound meanings. However, she failed to keep it safe and was extremely
embarrassed of that.
James and Helen felt awkward too, but they didn’t take it to heart. Wasn’t that just a jade bracelet?
How expensive could it be? It was strange that these people reacted dramatically and made such a
huge fuss about it.
