Chapter 792
Hearing that her parents and in-laws had arrived, Seraphina immediately stood up, leading a flock of people to welcome them.
The crowd surrounding her politely parted to make way.
“Hurry, I heard Leonard and Lilian Lance are here p>
“Come on, we need to go say hello. If we’re too late, we won’t even get close p>
These elites rarely rubbed shoulders with heavyweights of that caliber. Today was the perfect chance to build a connection that could secure lucrative business deals down the line.
Seeing the swarm of people approaching them with reverent gazes, carefully offering greetings and lavish praise, the parents instantly understood the situation.
Their children had clearly secured a massive victory.
The realization allowed the Lances and the Quinns to thoroughly indulge in being treated like absolute titans of industry.
However, the more observant guests noticed that Jude didn’t even bother standing up. It was obvious he didn’t respect Lawrence at all; he was merely using him.
Back at Mira’s table, Hank raised an eyebrow. “Not going to greet Sebastian and Gwen p>
“Please, they have their own precious daughter and son-in-law. Why would they need us p>
Mira replied coolly.
Sebastian was bad enough, but Gwen was a nightmare. If Mira walked over now, the woman would instantly assume she was begging for favors. Gwen wouldn’t be satisfied until she had hurled a few condescending insults her way.
But while Mira and her friends stayed put, the fiercely vain parents weren’t content to leave it at that.
It didn’t take long before Seraphina proudly led her parents straight to their table.
Mira gestured subtly toward them and whispered to Hank, “See? Trouble always finds a way p>
“Mira, Sera told us you were here p>
It was Sebastian who spoke first, not Gwen.
“Sebastian, Gwen. You’re here p>
Out of sheer obligation for the fact that Sebastian had saved her life when she was a child, Mira forced herself to stand up.
Owen, however, continued his conversation with Hank, acting as if they didn’t even exist.
After the stiff greeting, Mira sat back down, accidentally bumping her elbow against Hank.
“Ah! Is trouble here p>
Hank exclaimed loudly. It was entirely unclear whether he had done it on purpose or
not.
Jillian and the others quickly covered their mouths to muffle their laughter.
Mira quickly played along. “This is Sebastian, Gwen, and my cousin. They aren’t trouble p>
Hank made a grand show of realization.
Someone in their group completely failed to hold back a snort of laughter.
The Quinn family stood there, their faces tight with awkwardness, completely unable to lash out in public.
“Mira, your table is practically deserted. Why don’t you come sit with Sera’s group p>
Gwen couldn’t wait a second longer to flaunt her newfound superiority.
Sebastian modded in agreement.
“Come over to our side Mira. Wenet
can all sit together sit together, it’s been a while. since I’ve seen you.”.net>
“I’ll pass. I prefer the quiet p>
Mira answered, her expression completely blank.
“Mom, let’s just go p>
Seraphina leaned in close to Gwen’s ear. “Jude just completely crushed them. They’re in a terrible mood p>
She kept her voice low, but with Mira’s sharpened senses, she heard every single word.
Still, Mira couldn’t be bothered to engage.
“Mira, sometimes you just have to know when to bow your head. Being stubborn won’t get you anywhere p>
Gwen lectured, refusing to miss a chance to mock her.
Her niece always acted so high and mighty. Gwen was thrilled to finally catch her at a low point.
Her son-in-law was the truly capable one. No matter how competent Owen seemed, he couldn’t compete with the foreign elite.
“Gwen, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about p>
Mira said, looking straight at her.
But the so-called Professor Quinn was entirely speechless.
She had only heard from her daughter that Mira had been
vel
humiliated and rushed over in a fit of glee she didn’t actually know any of the details.
Finally, Sebastian grabbed his wife’s arm. “Gwen doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” he muttered, quickly dragging her away.
