Bad luck

Betty Brown wanted to marry Gordon Moore immediately and be an admirable couple.

But she was a person who cared a lot about commitment.

She must abide by what she had promised.

Besides, when she was still young, she was influenced by ancient traditional culture and advocated ancient etiquette, so she suppressed her impulse.

“Betty Brown, I didn’t expect it either. I tried to hand over my calligraphy works this year, but I didn’t expect it to qualify with just one try.” Gordon Moore said that his face blushed a little, and his heart as if suddenly stopped beating.

“I envy you. When you were only 25 years old, you have already been specially recruited by the provincial calligraphy association. I want to learn from you and strive for a good place in the traditional Western painting competition held by Saint John University.”

Betty Brown did not doubt the truth at all, because people who grew up with Gordon Moore were supposed to be the kind of modest gentlemen.

Not only Betty Brown thought so, but almost all the people in the province and cities share the same view.

In the eyes of the people in the provincial capital, they were a pair of golden boys and jade girls, both can play piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

“Betty Brown, you can certainly do it. The results of the Saint John University traditional Western painting competition should come out soon. Maybe today, with your skills, at least you’ll be in the top three.” Gordon Moore smiled and comforted Betty Brown softly.

“I will work hard to catch up with you.” Betty Brown said, “All right, let’s go to the Hudson Building to entertain the guests.”

Today, the Brown family reserved the Hudson building.

Hudson Building was a century-old restaurant in the provincial capital.

Although it had long been renovated a couple of times, the gold-lettered signboard “Hudson Building” had always been there.

When people from the provincial capital got tired of five-star hotels, they would go to Hudson Building to feel the charm of time-honored restaurants.

When people eat here, they eat not only good food but also culture.

Betty Brown and Gordon Moore went to Hudson House together. Although they were not close to each other, the Brown family had regarded Gordon Moore, as their future son-in-law.

The Moore family had also regarded Betty Brown as Gordon’s future wife.

Both families acquiesced to this point.

The marriage for Betty Brown and Gordon Moore will be held by the end of the year at the latest.

At the birthday banquet, only the Moore family of the four major families in the provincial capital attended, while the Wibowo family and the Carter family were not on good terms because of their competitive relationship in the business world.

However, apart from the big family, Donald Brown had a lot of friends from all walks of life.

What worried the Brown family most was the emergence of Leon Williams.

If the engagement between Betty Brown and Leon Williams was known to the Moore family, it would be difficult.

But the Donald Brown birthday banquet was known to all the rich and powerful in the city, and even if they wanted to hide it, they can’t.

Now, Donald Brown just wanted Leon Williams not to show up at his birthday party.

Even if he would appear, he was hoping that Leon Williams would self-knowledge and understand the truth that he can’t be involved in their family.

But just two hours later, Leon Williams appeared in Hudson Building.

At that moment, Donald Brown was chatting with Pual, the head of the Moore family.

Pual, the grandfather of Gordon Moore, was proclaimed as one of the four elders of the provincial capital together with Indra Wibowo, Alex Carter, and Donald Brown.

“My in-law, today’s birthday party is very grand. There are a lot of friends here. A 70th birthday is a big event. You should drink two more cups.” Pual narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

“With the same joy, I heard that your grandson Gordon Moore has been recruited as a member of the Provincial Book Association. Gordon Moore is only 25 years old, the youngest member, and has a bright future.” Donald Brown smiled and congratulated.

“It’s our Gordon Moore.” Pual smiled from ear to ear.

“Yes, yes, it’s our Gordon Moore.” Donald Brown was so happy that his old eyes narrowed in a line.

But the next moment, Donald Brown’s smile came to an abrupt end.

Leon Williams was standing not far away and was walking towards him.

“Old Brown, I have come to wish you a happy birthday today. May you be as happy as the East Sea and live longer than the pyramids.” Leon Williams, out of politeness and for the sake of Candra’s mandate, formally wished Donald Brown a birthday.

However, Donald Brown was too lazy to raise his eyelids. He only nodded his head gently but did not answer.

“This is my gift to you.” Leon Williams was holding a wooden box in his hand.

The wooden box looks very old.

And there was no decoration on the outside of the box.

Donald Brown only took a faint glance, but his eyes did not stay any longer.

Although he tried to hide it, there was still disdain in the corners of his eyes.

In his eyes, a broken wooden box could not be seen by him at all.

And he felt that Leon Williams was so humble that he couldn’t come up with any valuable gifts. It was just a glance.

“Well, leave it with the housekeeper.”

Donald Brown nodded, gently waved his hand, and motioned to Leon Williams to send the birthday gift to the housekeeper of Brown’s house.

On one side, Pual, was curious about the dilapidated wooden box.

“What’s in this box, young man?” Pual pointed.

Before waiting for Leon Williams to respond, Donald Brown took Pual away.

Donald Brown was worried that the engagement of granddaughter Betty Brown and Leon Williams had been slipped out.

Although he knew that the paper could not contain a fire, he would have a showdown with Moore’s family sooner or later. But he did not want it to be known by Pual at the birthday banquet, after all, it would be such a big wedding day. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Pual, let’s go and have a rest until the birthday party officially begins so we won’t get tired.”

Donald Brown said, about to take Pual away.

As they walked along, Pual asked, “Old Brown, which family is the descendant of that guy? How come I’ve never seen him before?”

“A nobody, with no family influence, he simply went here to get acquainted with the other guests. As you know, there are a lot of rich and powerful people at today’s birthday party. I guess he wants to take this opportunity to meet rich and powerful people. I’ve seen a lot of people like him. I can only say that they are whimsical.” Donald Brown said.

“The gift he gave you was very special. This is the first time I have seen a gift in such a shabby wooden box. At least pay attention to the packaging. I don’t see anything strange.” Pual talked about the gift from Leon Williams again.

“That kid is not sensible. He’s not a financial enthusiast. Today is my 70th birthday. He brought me a broken box. This is a deliberate attempt to bury me!” Donald Brown complained.

“Maybe there is something special about the wooden box, and the things inside it may be very precious.” Pual guessed.

“No way, Pual, you don’t know him. This kid used to be a waste collector. Maybe he picked up a broken box in the garbage and thought it would be a treasure. I’ll ask the housekeeper to throw the broken box away later, otherwise, it will be too unlucky!” Donald Brown’s tone was accentuated and his emotions became agitated.

“Throw it away? Old Brown, that’s not good. You have to see what’s in it first.” Pual thought Donald Brown was a little too aggressive.

“Don’t look at it. Pual, it must be thrown away. It would be a piece of bad luck!” The more Donald Brown thought about it, the angrier he got.

Not only that, but Donald Brown also intended to put Leon Williams in the lowest seat.

That day, the arrival of Leon Williams had made him very disappointed, and when he saw him took a broken box as a birthday gift, it made him even more resentful.

By placing Leon Williams in the lowest seat, he could also avoid contact with Moore’s family as far as possible, and would minimize the probability of exposing the matter.
