Chapter 287
Sabina said, “Though our Macclain family isn’t as prestigious as the Lamont family, we’re not some
nobodies either. It’s just an invitation, so just send it openly. No need to look for any excuses!”
Natalia nodded slowly, “Your grandparents are more conservative, but you’re much more open–
minded.”
Sabina just smiled faintly without replying.
Natalia chuckled, “Even though it’s your grandmother’s birthday celebration, I still hope you can invite
Jonathan. If he comes, wouldn’t it show your status in the Lamont Group?”
Sabina suddenly remembered the scene she saw in the CEO’s office this afternoon and was a bit
dazed, only replying after a while, “I think grandpa’s right. It’s grandma’s birthday, and most of the
guests are wives. It’s not quite appropriate to invite Mr. Lamont. Besides, he doesn’t seem to like
attending these kinds of events.”
“Oh, is that so!” Natalia was a bit disappointed but immediately smiled, “Alright, as long as someone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom the Lamont family comes, it’s fine. If Cathrine Lamont comes, it would be such an honor for us!”
“Hmm!” Sabina absentmindedly nodded.
“A month ago, I already ordered a dress and jewelry for you. If Cathrine comes, you have to dress
appropriately and make a lasting impression on her!” Natalia proudly said, looking at her daughter.
Sabina’s face turned a bit red, but she replied sarcastically, “Mom, what kind of girls haven’t they seen?
Are you trying to make me a laughingstock?”
Natalia realized her mistake and nodded regretfully, “You’re right. How could I be so confused? Thank
goodness you reminded me!”
Sabina smiled faintly, “Don’t worry about me. I’m going back to my room if there’s nothing else.”
“You go ahead!”
Watching her tall daughter leave, Natalia felt more and more certain that her daughter would become
the future Mrs. Lamont of the Lamont Group.
The next day, Cathrine received the invitation from the Macclain family.
She discussed with Norah, “We don’t usually have much contact with the Macclain family. Should we
go or not?”
Norah was binge–watching a show on the couch and casually said, “It’s simple. If you want to go, then
go. If you don’t, then don’t!”
Cathrine shook her head, “Have you forgotten? We were once in–laws with the Macclain family!”
Norah suddenly realized, “I’ve totally forgotten about that!”
Cathrine pondered, “Even though the marriage has been dissolved, we still had that relationship, so it’s
awkward whether we go or not.”
“Why don’t you ask my uncle?” Norah suggested.
Cathrine snorted, “Jonathan couldn’t care less about social interactions like this! I’ll just not go and
have Millard prepare a gift to be sent.”
Norah looked up and asked, “Why send Millard?”
Cathrine glanced at her, “Jonathan is the one who married their daughter, and Millard is his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsubordinate. He knows how to handle what kind of gift to send!”
Norah wasn’t convinced, “Our marriage with the Macclain family was a business deal anyway. It
doesn’t matter what we send, since we won’t have much to do with them in the future!”
“That’s true, but we were once in–laws, so we can’t just let the Macclain family think we’re unreliable.”
As Cathrine spoke, she picked up the phone and called Millard, telling him about sending a birthday gift
to the Macclain family.
Millard respectfully responded that he would arrange it.
Although he had to obey Cathrine’s orders, after hanging up the phone, Millard couldn’t help but frown.
Cathrine and Jonathan both thought that their marriage with the Macclain family had been dissolved,
but only he knew the marriage still existed. More importantly, Estelle, who Jonathan thought, had
nothing to do with him anymore, was sleeping in his own bed every day!
Estelle would definitely attend Elizabeth’s birthday. Millard thought about it and decided that even for
Estelle’s sake, he should prepare a generous gift for the Macclain family.
After inquiring about Elizabeth’s preferences, Millard learned that she liked watercolor paintings. So, he
went to an auction house and bought one as a gift for the old lady
