Chapter 657 The Memorial Dinner Speaking of the Memorial Dinner of the Faulkner Family, it had been going on for a long time. In the beginning, it was just to remember a respected elder of the Faulkner Family. Later, it gradually evolved into the only public dinner party of the Faulkner Family. Their family had always kept a low profile in public, so every dinner party was crowded with celebrities. This year’s dinner party was even more eye-catching because of the sudden appearance of Charlotte. No one knew whether the daughter of Congreve, who had proved her identity after many years, would attend the dinner party or not, and what identity she would have. The Faulkner House was already brightly lit even in the afternoon. The branch family members of the Faulkner Family didn’t look well. They looked at the door from time to time with inquiry and vigilance in their eyes. They all hoped that Charlotte would never appear at the banquet and wouldn’t appear forever. Viola hated Charlotte even more. That day, she thought that Charlotte was very kind, but after the people of the second branch were bailed out, she found that she was wrong and didn’t know why they suddenly changed their attitude and no longer respected her so much! She was so pissed off! Huxley did not care about what the members of the branch were thinking. He walked onto the stage in a dark blue and golden velvet suit with a smile and said, “Thank you for coming to the dinner party. Just like in previous years, I hope you can have a good time. I will introduce an important person to you later.” The sound of discussion immediately rang out. Enter title… The movie invested by Charlotte was still being released in the cinema. It had even attracted a lot of attention because of its special theme, and the box office income was actually not bad. “Since she wants to recognize her ancestors, she should have come earlier.” Viola complained in a voice that was neither too loud nor too low. “Do we elders have to wait for her here?” This time, no one echoed what she said. The people of the second branch even pulled away from her at the same time.
She was stupid but the others were not. Since Huxley had said so, it was obvious that he wanted to recognize Charlotte. Did Viola really think that she could stop this matter? Sandra stood below the stage with a terrifyingly gloomy expression. If she hadn’t begged desperately, her parents wouldn’t have allowed her to attend this banquet. Why did Charlotte become the focus of the whole audience without even showing up? “Sorry, I’m late.” The cold female voice attracted everyone’s attention. Charlotte was wearing a long red dress. Her hair and skin had been carefully maintained, and her makeup was even more exquisite and flamboyant. With her outstanding appearance and refined temperament, her beauty was shocking. The members of the Faulkner family, who had never seen Charlotte before, were stunned. They didn’t feel much when they saw the photo before, but when Charlotte appeared in front of them, they were surprised to find that she really looked like Congreve. It was not only similar in appearance but also had a kind of temperament, which made people unable to forget at first sight. “No, you’re not late. You came at the right time.” Huxley smiled at Charlotte and motioned for her to stand beside him. The eyes of the branch family members were about to pop out! For so many years, no one from the collateral branches had ever been able to stand by his side at the Memorial Dinner since Huxley took over! Never!
Did Huxley really not mind that Charlotte was about to take away his money at all? Viola and the other elders exchanged glances. They all thought that Huxley was deliberately putting on a show for everyone to see and would dislike Charlotte in private. Many people from the collateral branches of the Faulkner Family began to waver. They didn’t know whether they should build a good relationship with Charlotte or be enemies with her.
