NOVPUBChapter 1321: 608 Trend_1 Chapter 1321: 608 Trend_1 “Edward, this is Miss Philbert of The Philberts.
Here’s my grandson, Edward, who just returned to The Drakes after studying in Pethkids.”
Granny Drake introduced the two to each other.
Nicholas Drake displayed the perfect blend of aloofness and polite head nod, “Ms.Philbert.”.
His gaze focused intensely when observing people, yet his eyes would not reveal any emotions.
As his voice trailed off, he subtly diverted his gaze.
That fleeting glance, however, stirred an ocean of emotions in Nichole Philbert’s heart.
“Granny Drake, my name is Nichole.
...
You can call me Nichole directly.
Edward, may I address you as brother?”
Granny Drake turned to look at Nicholas Drake.
Remembering Ayana Philbert’s tragedy, she would never force Edward.
But as for the thoughts of this little girl…
she hoped Edward would handle it tactfully without sabotaging the mutual good wishes between the two families.
Nicholas Drake nodded his head, “Ms.
Nichole, as you please.”
Nichole Philbert pouted, “Brother Edward, you should call me Nichole.
All this talk about Miss sounds so distancing.”
“Nichole, do not be presumptuous,” Arwin Philbert came over, greeted Granny Drake, discretely pulled Nichole Philbert behind him, and cast an indifferent gaze at Nicholas Drake.
“As expected of Granny Drake’s grandson, he is really charming, so much like Jayden Drake.”
Although his words were praising, the tone was sarcastic.
The rift between the Drake and Philbert families was long-standing, but Granny Drake did not care, “Mr.
Philbert, Edward is new to Pethkids and knows few people.
Hope that in the future you could take care of him.”
He’s that powerful.
The Drakes have already defeated The Callums.
Does he need any help from me?
Despite his inner sarcasm, his expression demonstrated no desire to pick a fight.
He responded insincerely, “Granny Drake, you are joking.
Mr.
Drake is so talented, I’m afraid I’ll need his help in the future.”
With a chuckle, Granny Drake refrained from saying more and walked into the hall, led by a servant.
“Brother, what are you doing?
Your disrespectful words were an insult to an elderly person.” Upon seeing Nicholas Drake walk away, Nichole Philbert broke free from Arwin Philbert’s hand and protested unhappily.
“You wicked girl, have you forgotten our Auntie’s grievances?
I’m telling you, we and The Drakes are irreconcilable.
You better give up on your little scheme,” replied Arwin Philbert.
“Let the previous generation resolve their disputes themselves.
What does it have to do with me?
Besides, Brother Edward is a nice person.
I won’t let you hurt him.
Or else, you won’t be my brother.” Nichole Philbert ran into the hall after finishing her sentence.
Arwin Philbert was furious and helpless.
The arrival of Granny Drake only added to the significance of the banquet, with everyone eagerly coming forward to greet her, expressing their respect.
In Coral Island, Granny Drake is a respected figure.
Despite her reclusive lifestyle in recent years, she managed to maintain her influence among the island’s residents.
Moreover, her charitable deeds after converting to Buddhism, such as organizing relief efforts after disasters, have earned her a good reputation.
Regardless of her identity as Granny Drake, she truly deserves respect in her own right.
Everyone at the event was captivated by the young man by her side.
Recent rumors of Jayden Drake’s son returning to The Drakes and the coincidental issues concerning The Callums caught the attention of the most astute individuals.
It seemed like Granny Drake had been biding her time, ready to make a strong move when necessary.
The young man’s elegant and refined demeanor, radiant looks, towering stature, and noble elegance portrayed an extraordinarily unique prince.
There were many ladies at the banquet, and it was inevitable that their interest would be piqued by his extraordinary demeanor.
Granny Drake publicly announced, based on a decision from the Board of Directors, that Dustin Drake had violated company interests, had been dismissed from his position, and exiled from the company.
She publicly announced Nicholas Drake to be the successor of The Drakes Group.
Despite his youth, he proved to be extraordinarily capable and, with the guidance of the company’s elders, was expected to manage the company successfully and lead it toward greater achievements.
The whole hall fell into dead silence.
Although they had predicted this, they did not expect it to happen so quickly.
In just three days, the wind direction throughout Coral Island had completely shifted.
Everyone looked towards the silent young man, could he be the next Dustin Drake?
Would he once again plunge Coral Island into dire straits?
No one knew.
The sharp, piercing noise of high heels tapping against the floor broke the silence of the room.
Someone recognized the woman who entered, and gasped, “It’s Ms.
Grant, why is she here?”
“The Drakes have eliminated Dustin after all, and Mr.
Iver has toppled The Callums.
It seems all of this is not a coincidence.
Should we say that Granny Drake is still as shrewd as ever or that this young master is incredibly competent?
Just three days and everything was cleaned up.
At such a young age, he is extraordinary.”
At the moment Ms.
Grant appeared, many of the questions lingering in people’s minds were answered.
Dallyn tutted, “That woman wanted to kill me last time to keep me quiet.
Thankfully, Miss, you had the foresight to let Jayden Moore follow me, otherwise I might not have been able to return.”
Aubree Groove sat in the shadows, an island of tranquility in the midst of glitter and excess.
Her elbow supported on the armrest of the sofa, her fingers resting on her forehead, eyelashes slightly drooping, deep in thought, an outcast in this luxuriant scene.
Dallyn despised this woman.
According to the information she had, this woman was Mr.
Iver’s mistress.
Mr.
Iver was very smart and cautious, fearing that his enemies might use this against him to ruin his career, so he hid his mistress away, killing two birds with one stone: he cleared Ms.
Grant’s name and turned the tables on the opposition.
Poor Mrs.
Iver, kept in the dark, still thinking that her husband was faithful to her.
Dallyn couldn’t wait to expose these hypocritical scoundrels, but in Miss’s plan, this Mr.
Iver still has a purpose
“Congratulations to Granny Drake on gaining such an outstanding grandson.
On behalf of Mr. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Iver, I bring you and young Master Drake a gift as a token of our appreciation.
I hope you will accept it.”
Ms.
Grant’s frown and smile are quite captivating.
In her conversation, she shows her facets, revealing nothing, demonstrating the qualities of a top-secretary.
As she spoke, Ms.
Grant’s eyes subtly scanned the guests around the room.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted.
In the corner shadows, she caught sight of a familiar figure.
She wanted to get a closer look, but Granny Drake blocked her view.
“I’m honored by Mr.
Iver’s consideration.
Edward, haven’t you thanked Mr.
Iver and Ms.
Grant yet?”
Nicholas Drake politely expressed his thanks.
Ms.
Grant stared at the face before her, her pupils deep.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.
A woman rushed in, several security guards unable to stop her in time.
“Trixie Philbert, you vile woman!
You won’t even spare your own grandson, are you even human?”
Nicholas Drake immediately stepped in front of Granny Drake, frowned at the crazed woman who had burst in, and barked, “What are you standing there for?
Disrupting the order here, aren’t you going to take her away?”
The security guards were about to move forward, but the woman pulled out a knife and pointed it at her own neck.
“Who dares to come over?”
Everyone naturally dared not act rashly.
The once prominent socialite of Coral Island, Mistress of The Callums, and Madam of The Drakes, has now fallen to such a tragic state.
It was indeed sigh-worthy.
Jobelle Callum’s gaze shifted, and she spotted a familiar figure.
She suddenly shrieked as she charged over, “It’s you, it’s you!
You and that woman can’t hide behind the scenes.
You ruined my husband and The Callums.
I will never let you off.”
Her goal today was not to seek justice from The Drakes.
With the tide turned, pursuing these matters would be pointless.
But that woman, she was the root of all evil.
She would never let her off.
