Overflow With Fake Love

Chapter 16: A Banquet 

"Good evening, Amy,’ Old Mr.Howard greeted in a gentle voice as if they were close to each other.

"Hello, Mr.Howard,"

Amy replied despite the confusion as to why he talked like this.

"It's so late now.So I'll invite you over for a meal someday.You're my appointed granddaughter-in- law.Just tell me if you feel wronged in the Howard Family,’ he comforted.

Amy could sense Old Mr.Howard's sincerity and delight even on the phone.

His kind and soothing words made Amy feel better.

She thought Old Mr.Howard was like her late Grandpa who had always protected her.

"By the way, today is your graduation day.I brought you a gift I picked abroad.You'll know it later"

Nicholas Howard giggled mysteriously.

Amy couldn't help but curl her lips into a faint smile.

"Mr.Howard, thanks,’ Amy appreciated.

She had thought that Nicholas was intimidating.

It turned out that he was so friendly.

After hanging up the phone, Amy heaved a sigh of relief.

‘Thank god, I finally have someone like me in this family.It's a silver lining for me”

Having checked her on-board information at the table, Amy intended to sleep.

But at this time, there was a knock at the door.

She hurried to open the door and saw Paul, which came as a shock to her.

She looked around, found no one else, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?"

"To give Grandpa's gift to you," Paul said coldly.

Amy was stunned for a while and then took over the gift.

"Please thank him for me."

The gift box was exquisite.

There should be jewelry inside.

It could be told that Old Mr.Howard put a lot of effort into selecting a gift for her.

"Do it yourself" Paul refused.

After saying that, Paul turned around and left.

He suddenly looked forward to the day when Amy knew his identity.

It must be interesting.

Amy was smart but stupid in some ways. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Amy closed the door, opened the box, and saw a beautiful hairpin, her eyes drenched with tears.

It was the first time that she was moved by a stranger she hadn't met yet.

The hairpin was decorated with a sparkling diamond and a pigeon-blood ruby like a small flower.

It could be told to be expensive.

As a result, she put it away and planned to wear it on important occasions.

When she was about to sleep, there was another knock at the door.

Amy couldn't help but feel annoyed, but she still went to open the door, only to see Jane.

"There will be a banquet tomorrow evening.Mom asked me to take you there.Do you have address?" Jane asked.

Amy's eyes flickered.

It seemed that the upper class did like such things.

Seeing her silence, Jane grabbed Amy's wrist impatiently and took Amy to her room.

"Judging from your poor background, I can tell you don't.Fine, there are all the new clothes that I got today.Pick one,’ Jane complained.

Jane's room was large, at least one hundred square meters.

There was a special cloakroom with shoes and jewelry hung on the whole wall.

To Amy's surprise, there were even two fridges there.

"Oh my god!"

"Why are you so shocked? You're really a bumpkin,’ Jane mocked as she rolled her eyes.

She then opened them.

There were all facial masks and various skincare products inside.

Amy was greatly shocked.

Not until now did she know how the ladies of the upper class lived.

"It's more comfortable to apply cool masks in summer.Your skin looks delicate.What skincare products do you usually use?" Amy touched her face.

Her skin had been delicate since she was a child.

Her face wouldn't get tanned even if exposed to the sun for a few hours.

"CeraVe,' Amy said calmly and closed the fridge.Jane was stunned and frowned in disgust.

‘'I didn't expect you to be so poor"

Amy responded to her contempt with a faint smile.

Just as she was about to go out, a dress was stuffed into her arms.

"If Grandpa hadn't asked you to attend this grand banquet, my mother wouldn't have cared about you.You'd better dress up, or you will be scolded again."

Amy looked down and found that a beige long gauze dress with exquisite embroidery from shoulder to waist, which would expose the curve of her waist.

"Thank you."

She took it over and went back to her room.

She had planned to go to the Grand Group tomorrow, but now it could only be delayed.

The next evening, Amy went to the banquet with Jane.

Not until then did she know how high-end and splendid it was.

The guests, all dressed up and looking quite noble, were happily talking to each other with cups of wine in their hands.

She was very eye-catching in the dress that Jane gave her.

She tied her hair up and put on the hair clip that Old Mr.Howard gave her.

Amy never wore makeup, but today she was forced by Jane to rouge her lips.

Unexpectedly, this style suited her well.

She looked elegant and special among a group of women with heavy makeup.

Myrna saw Amy the moment she entered the garden with Mia, her face stiff.

"Is that Amy?" Mia exclaimed with surprise.

"Keep your voice down!"

Myrna turned to scold her gently and looked around nervously, They were like ugly ducklings among white swans, afraid that they would lose face.

According to the status of the Turner Family in London, she was not qualified to attend such a banquet, but Myrna was good at socializing.

She made friends with one or two noble ladies.

One of the ladies was sick, so she gained this opportunity.

"John will be here tonight.Find a chance to chat with him later and make a good impression on him."

Myrna whispered in Mia's ear.

Mia curled her lips and looked at Amy who was walking through the crowd with jealousy.

Seeing her eye-catching appearance, many people were whispering about her identity.

She was not used to such an occasion, so she found a corner and sat down.

At this time, she saw a well-dressed lady socializing in the crowd.

What happened between her and that woman instantly came back to her mind…
