The night after, the celebration banquet was held at the top floor of Marina Obelisk Hotel under the name of the Lowe family. All members, including direct and collateral relatives, as well as their guards and servants' families were present. Nearly a thousand people from all ages and genders filled almost a hundred tables in the grand hall.
The matriarch sat at the center table with Romeo's family beside her, along with Miranda's uncles and one aunt. However, unlike Eliza and Harlow who sat together with their families, Miranda's relatives were seated separately at a nearby table.
This arrangement spoke volumes about Romeo's status compared to others. "Romeo! Your pharmaceutical company is flourishing! You will lead our family to new heights!" Miranda's third uncle Owen Lowe exclaimed to Romeo.
"Absolutely right! Mom made an excellent decision by appointing you as head of our pharmaceutical business," Miranda's aunt, Jennifer Lowe, chimed in sweetly, pleasing both men with just one sentence.
Miranda's fourth uncle, George Lowe, and other members of the Lowe family also came over to compliment Romeo while praising Eliza and Harlow too. They all understood that if nothing unexpected happened, Romeo would be next in line for headship after this celebration banquet.
Romeo smiled happily while listening to everyone's compliments; he felt light-hearted like never before. Eliza and Harlow also grinned widely like blooming flowers; they couldn't have been more pleased since their vanity had been fully satisfied.
Victoria sat there smiling too but kept glancing towards the entrance door constantly because what mattered most today was not whether or not Romeo's family was happy but rather she wanted revenge badly!
Suddenly Victoria's expression changed slightly; she smirked coldly when she saw them coming - Emmanuel's family had arrived!
"Emmanuel's Family is here!"
"Weren't they expelled from our clan? Why are they here today?"
Chaos erupted inside the hall when Emmanuel's family appeared causing many discussions among the Lowe family members who were receiving compliments earlier on until then.
Romeo stood up cheerfully upon hearing commotion near him, "Hey Emmanuel, Cara! What brings you here?" He asked teasingly while grinning mischievously at them both.
"Really? You all got kicked out of the family, and yet you have the nerve to show up at my husband's celebration banquet? Oh my, oh my..." Eliza laughed mockingly.
Harlow pretended to be surprised and said, "How can someone have such thick skin? Do they know that without the family, they're nothing and now want to come back begging for shelter?"
Upon hearing their words, Emmanuel's face immediately showed anger. Cara was also infuriated by their mockery as soon as they arrived.
They didn't expect that just after arriving at the party, Romeo's family would start mocking them relentlessly.
Emmanuel looked towards Victoria with a hint of hope in his eyes. He saw her slowly stand up and say in a deep voice, "I invited them."
As soon as she spoke these words, Emmanuel became excited and shouted for his mother with tears in his eyes.
"Mom..."
Except for Romeo and three others from the Lowe family who knew about this invitation beforehand; everyone else looked puzzled. Did the old lady invite Emmanuel's family back into the Lowe family?
However, in the next second, they heard Victoria snort coldly while pointing her cane towards some tables on the outermost area of the hall.
"Go sit over there! This is a central area where your family no longer has any right to sit!"
As soon as she finished speaking those words, Emmanuel's face changed dramatically – from being moved to shocked anger instead!
Cara was so angry that her whole body trembled while Miranda and Mason had ugly expressions on their faces too!
