Chapter 720: Chapter 720 The Roaring Drums and Gongs_1
When the firecrackers sounded.
Knox Ridge was truly startled.
She was pondering how to exin the situation to Mr. Radcliffe when unexpectedly, salutes began firing right in front of her.
Before she could collect her thoughts, a team of waiters dressed in festive red robes hastily approached.
“What’s going on?”
Burl Radcliffe also sensed something amiss and quickly ran over with Que Radcliffe.
“I have no idea! The firecrackers started going off just as I arrived.”
Knox Ridge waspletely at a loss.
“Excuse me, are you here looking for…” The waiter pulled out a card from his pocket: “Barrett Ridge, Mr. Radcliffe’s?”
“That’s right!”
Knox Ridge became even more surprised.
How did they know all about this?
“How do you know?”
She couldn’t help but ask out loud.
Could it be…
This was Mr. Radcliffe’s way of weing them?
But what on earth was this all about?
“We were instructed…” The waiter unprofessionally took out the card again: “To wait here and wee you as per Mr. Barrett Ridge’s instructions!”
After saying this, he shouted to the other waiters behind him, “The right people have arrived, begin!”
Bang!
The waiters pulled out wedding confetti canons from their pockets and twisted them forcefully!
A sky full of streamers!
At the same time.
Two rows of band members stood in order at the hotel entrance, beginning to y a joyous tune.
“Wee to The Star of the Prosperous Age!”
The waiters shouted in unison.
“Distinguished guests have arrived!”
“Top-tier, the dragon and phoenix auspicious private room!”
“Please!”
Knox Ridge was dumbfounded…
This was…
“Wife, what’s going on.”
Burl Radcliffe leaned in, equally confused.
Looking at this disy, it must cost a pretty penny!
“Could it be… Father has struck it rich? But there’s no reason for him to treat me this well…”
Knox Ridge had no idea!
In fact, she waspletely bewildered!
“Red carpet!”
With a loud cry.
Several waiters began to roll out the red carpet from the hotel’s main entrance all the way to Knox Ridge.
“Distinguished guest, this way please!”
“Alright!”
At that moment, Knox Ridge found her spirit.
She had just taken a step when she saw her family from her mother’s side frantically running out the door!
“They must have found out our son-inw is wealthy and want to cozy up to us!”
Seeing Barrett Ridgeing out personally, Knox Ridge was so excited that her body trembled.
“Burl Radcliffe, pull yourself together and show some spirit!”
She shouted, clutching her handbag, striding triumphantly down the red carpet.
But Que Radcliffe seemed to feel…
Something was off.
The Ridge familying back for the New Year and not causing trouble was already good enough, but to put on such a show?
What did they think this was, the imperial concubine returning to her hometown?
“It’s over…”
Immanuel Ridge copsed on the ground, her eyes conveying despair.
“Ah!”
Barrett Ridge was itching with anger, looking at the red paper left from the explosions of the firecrackers, and the band that was ying.
Especially when…
Knox Ridge was actually walking over with an air of arrogance on the red carpet.
“Forrest Ridge, when we get back, I’m going to y you!”
Gerrard Ridge, enraged, walked over and pped his son.
Smack!
Forrest Ridge, shocked and scared, was knocked to the ground.
“Forget it! When the son-inw arrivester and people see this, they’ll think there’s poor conduct in the Ridge family.”
Barrett Ridge said in exasperation as he tried to console.
“Unfilial child!”
Gerrard Ridge looked at Forrest Ridge on the ground, his heart bleeding!
The money they invested today was a whopping one hundred thousand!
“Now that things havee to this, let’s think of a solution first!”
Barrett Ridge looked at Elvin, who was sitting on the ground and crying, and tapped the ground with his cane, “Stop crying! If people see you like this, what would they think!”
“Dad, what are we going to do when Anna Harris’s boyfriend arrives?”
Elvin felt like she wanted to die.
Seeing Knox Ridge walk down the red carpet made her even angrier!
That was money she had borrowed!
To think that it all benefited her sister for nothing!
However, Knox Ridge was unaware.
Her heart was blooming with joy.
She thought that returning home for the New Year would earn her the scorn of friends and rtives.
But to her surprise, she came back to a huge unexpected delight.
“Dad, why are you all outside? It’s cold,e back inside quickly.”
Knox Ridge quickly approached Barrett Ridge, exuberantly saying, “Although I haven’t spent New Year’s at home for over twenty years, you didn’t have to go to such extravagances, right?”
It looked like today was going to be quite expensive.
“Don’t tter yourself.”
Elvin trembled with anger.
What did she mean by not going to such extravagances?
It wasn’t even prepared for her!
“What do you know about Dad’s thoughts!”
Knox Ridge snorted coldly and waved her hand behind her, “Mr. Radcliffe, hurry up!”
She believed it was Barrett Ridge’s idea and was even more delighted.
And it seemed that her siblings were all looking somber, probably jealous of the treatment she was getting.
“I’m here!”
Burl Radcliffe came running over, putting down the things.
“Dad, this is the ginseng I asked someone to buy for you, it’s very nourishing!”
Knox Ridge picked up the ginseng she had purchased and hurriedly presented it to Barrett Ridge.
The look she gave the others was full of show-off.
“Enough! Put the stuff away and we’ll talk about itter.” Barrett Ridge had no interest in ginseng at that moment.
The whole Ridge Family ced all their hopes on Quandarius Ridge.
The entire family was counting on Anna Harris’s super-rich boyfriend.
But to Knox Ridge’s ears, it seemed the old man wanted to spare the other children some embarrassment.
Though Knox Ridge didn’t have much money, she was still livingfortablypared to her siblings in the Ridge family.
This time, to buy a gift for the old man, she even went behind her family’s back and spent tens of thousands on a ginseng from a reseller.
Having spent the money, how could she not show off?
Wouldn’t that be a waste?
“Dad, take a look first.” She picked up the ginseng, held it close to Barrett Ridge, “This isn’t ordinary ginseng, I spent a lot of money and asked someone to buy it…”
“Enough!”
Barrett Ridge, annoyed and distressed, had no patience to deal with any ginseng.
Had Darnell Ridge and Bryson Ridge not insisted on Knox Ridgeing home for New Year’s, he would never have let this daughter return.
When the Radcliffe rtives asked Que Radcliffe to borrow money, Barrett Ridge also asked for two hundred thousand.
After all, Que Radcliffe was his father-inw, and he had no intention of repaying it; he even considered using the money to find a new partner.
He had promised a bride price of 200,000, but who would have thought that the day before the ceremony, a debt collector sent by Julius Reed woulde knocking?
Left with no option, he returned the still-warm money.
Naturally, there was no money left for a new partner.
The olddy left him, and not only that, she gave Barrett Ridge three ps on the face.
He had held a grudge over this until today!
“Dad, it’s fine, even though my sisters also show their filial piety, I still have a bit of money…”
“Shut up!”
Barrett Ridge roared, startling Knox Ridge into silence.
“Go ask the hotel staff, how long will it take to set up again?”
He asked Elvin, who was very distressed.
“Dad, even if there is time, we don’t have money left! This whole setup is quite costly!” Elvin was on the verge of tears.
“They’re here!”
Just at that moment.
Forrest Ridge shouted again.
“Scram!”
Whack!
Barrett Ridge pped him!
“They’re really here!”
Forrest Ridge said dejectedly.
Then, an Infiniti slowly drove in and stopped at the hotel entrance.
