Chapter 31 Mr. Geller, Do You Dislike My Brother?
Lloyd's tone was very calm as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
But Alisa's heart tightened again.
Lloyd actually had Aidan's phone number.
And he wanted to call Aidan!
Did he really want to ruin her reputation today?
No!
Absolutely not!
The image she had cultivated for many years couldn't just disappear like this.
Alisa lifted her gaze with a hint of coolness on her face, "The Finley family is big and wealthy, and Mr. Finley can be rude and arrogant, but I can't. The gift I sent to Aidan, I have to apologize and get it back in person. Please wait a moment, Mr. Finley. I'll change my clothes and go to get it now."
Without giving Lloyd a chance to speak, she turned and went upstairs.
The only thing Alisa was grateful for was that the birthday banquet was being held at the Geller's villa. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to handle.
Upstairs, Alisa tightly closed the door, and the hatred in her eyes was almost bursting out.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
Gianna!
Lloyd! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Just you wait, I won't let you off the hook!
After a while, Alisa changed her clothes. She threw two types of medicinal herbs out the window and then went downstairs.
She didn't even bring a bag with her.
It was just to tell everyone that she had really given away the medicinal herbs.
Alisa walked over to Brenna and Libby, apologizing sincerely, "I'm sorry, Grandma and Libby. It's all my fault that I've caused trouble for the Geller's villa."
"What's it got to do with you? It's all because of Gianna's disobedience. If it wasn't for her, the Geller's villa wouldn't be humiliated today," Brenna took Alisa's hand and spoke softly, "Don't blame yourself. I don't blame you, and Libby doesn't blame you either."
Libby sneered inwardly at Brenna's words. Of course, she blamed Alisa!
This was her birthday banquet, and now it had turned into this. Her face was completely lost.
Besides, she had never liked Alisa!
This girl was too calculating, and sometimes her desires were even written all over her face.
But of course, she couldn't say these things out loud.
After all, Brenna controlled the economic power of the Geller's villa, and they had to rely on Brenna for a living.
Libby squeezed out a smile on her face. "Alisa, I don't mind it. Don't worry too much."
"Thank you, Grandma and Libby." Alisa lowered her head, still looking obedient and sensible. Only her scattered hair covered the gleam in her eyes.
"Go find Aidan and get the thank-you gift back. This is our fault. Tell him that I will compensate him with a big gift in the future." Brenna knew that Alisa was going to give the medicinal herbs that Lloyd had sent to Aidan.
Only she didn't know that Alisa hadn't given them away yet.
Of course, even if she knew, she would make the same choice as Alisa. She couldn't let everyone know that the thank-you gift was still at the Geller's villa.
"Okay."
After Alisa finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
She avoided everyone and went to the backyard to collect the medicinal herbs, then she left the Geller's villa.
After Alisa left, the farce ended.
Lloyd didn't pursue the matter any further.
After all, this was the Geller's villa.
His future father-in-law was Mr. Finley of the Geller's villa. He had to give him this face.
The banquet officially began, and everyone tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened, but their impression of Alisa had dropped a little.
Brenna, however, acted as if nothing had happened and continued to greet the guests with a smile.
Gianna, Sherman, Laney, and Calvin sat in the corner.
Taryn was also with Gianna.
This girl insisted on sticking to her, and she wouldn't leave no matter what. Gianna had no choice but to bring her to sit in the corner.
It wasn't their own choice to sit there and it was arranged by Brenna.
In the Geller's villa, Sherman's family was not qualified to sit at the main table, and it had always been this way.
But Sherman didn't mind. He didn't want to be with those people anyway. He was quite comfortable where he was.
Gianna didn't like noisy places, so the corner was perfect for her.
But at their table, there were only them. The other guests were busy making friends, and since they were not valued by Brenna, no one wanted to talk to them.
As soon as they sat down, someone suddenly patted Gianna's shoulder. "Ms. Geller, I'm rooting for you. Go for it and get rid of that hypocritical person!"
Gianna turned her head and raised an eyebrow at the person in front of her. Natalya wore a purple dress. She didn't look as delicate as Alisa, but her features were well-defined, and she had an outstanding temperament. If she hadn't made that comment about Alisa earlier, people would have thought she was a fairy from the mortal world.
But now...
Gianna hooked her lips. "Do you have a grudge against Alisa?"
"No grudge! I just can't stand her!" Natalya smiled at Gianna. "I like people like you. You're not pretending!"
Gianna's lips twitched. Was she complimenting her?
Yes...?
"Okay, let's not talk about it. I have to run now. After the scene just now, my dad will break my legs if he catches me. I'm off to save my life." Natalya finished speaking and ran off with her skirt in hand.
Gianna's sharp eyes noticed that she was wearing pants under her skirt!
Halfway through her escape, Natalya suddenly turned back, "By the way, I'm Natalya. I'll find you when I'm free."
Without giving Gianna a chance to speak, Natalya ran again.
She ran off like a gust of wind.
Gianna rubbed her forehead in speechlessness.
Just as Natalya left, Murray arrived with Lloyd, who was pushed by Murray.
He was also followed by Irvin, who was carefree and casual.
Gianna glanced at Lloyd, then at Irvin, and her eyes were filled with a hint of teasing when she looked at the latter.
Irvin touched his nose, feeling a little strange.
Why did he always feel that something was off about Ms. Geller?
She always stared at him, and she always had a strange smile.
It made him suspect that Ms. Geller had a crush on him.
But it didn't seem like it.
"Mr. Geller, Ms. Geller, can we sit at the same table?" Lloyd politely and reservedly asked.
Sherman was about to refuse, but he was taken aback by Lloyd 's politeness and reserve. "Sure, sit down."
After they sat down, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Taryn looked up, blinked her eyes, and smiled at Gianna. "Gianna, are you my brother's fiancée? Do I have to call you sister-in-law in the future?"
Before Gianna could speak, Taryn thought about it and said, "I don't think calling you sister-in-law is friendly enough. I'll call you little sister-in-law, okay?"
Before Gianna could reply, Sherman immediately spoke up to stop her. "Ms. Finley, you can't say that. Gia isn't going to marry your brother. They've already broken off their engagement."
Lloyd looked up, somewhat surprised, and his eyes asked, "You didn't tell him about our engagement?"
Gianna was speechless.
Could she say that it wasn't that she didn't tell him, but that she didn't have a chance to say it?
Just... so speechless!
Lloyd was speechless.
So, her future father-in-law was still insisting on breaking off the engagement?
Wasn't it better to lose face than to break off an engagement, my father-in-law, don't you know?
Ahem!
Lloyd coughed lightly and picked up his glass. "Mr. Geller..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Taryn blinking her innocent big eyes and tilting her head to ask Sherman, "Mr. Geller, don't you like my brother? Is it because my brother is ugly? Or is it because he doesn't have money?"
Lloyd was speechless.
Just... speechless!
He suddenly understood why Gianna didn't tell Sherman about their engagement.
He couldn't get a word in edgewise!
Sherman was stunned by Taryn's question. "It's not that..."
"Then do you like my brother, Mr. Geller? If you like my brother, why don't you agree to let Gianna be with my brother? My brother has money, and if he doesn't, I can give him some. Besides, all my money is for Gianna. I will keep her healthy and plump, so you don't have to worry."
Sherman was speechless.
"Ahem!" Lloyd coughed and said, "Taryn."
Taryn received his gaze and lowered her head, and then she stopped talking.
What should she do?
She was really afraid of her brother.
Lloyd ignored her thoughts and lifted his glass to Sherman. "Mr. Geller, maybe Ms. Geller didn't have a chance to tell you, but she has agreed to engage with me."
"What?"
"What?"
Sherman and Laney widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at Lloyd.
