"Yuna, if you don't attend Peter's birthday celebration, he'll be unhappy. After all, he likes you so much." Ruby tried to persuade Yuna.
This made Yuna become even more frustrated.
She knew that very well. Even though she had disappointed Peter previously, he liked her a lot and wouldn't completely lose all his affection for her just because of that one incident.
But it would be hard to say if she didn't attend the birthday celebration this time.
She hadn't given up on Tobias yet. If she still wanted to fight for it, she absolutely couldn't give up on her trump card, Peter.
"I'll go." After a while, Yuna heaved a huge sigh. "At most, I'll just have to endure that Natalie being all conceited."
"Yuna, don't worry, she definitely won't." A hint of scheming flashed in Ruby's eyes. "I will definitely let that country bumpkin suffer humiliation on that day."
Yuna was stunned.
She looked at Ruby in confusion. "Mom, what do you mean?"
Ruby curled her lips and said, "Yuna, rest assured that I'll help you get payback for the humiliation you suffered that day. I'll turn that country bumpkin into the laughingstock of the night!"
Yuna had told Ruby about Natalie before, and Ruby had done some investigating into Natalie's background. She was absolutely confident.
On the day of Peter's birthday celebration, Ruby would humiliate Natalie and make her the laughingstock of the crowd.
With so many of the Whitlock family's friends and relatives present, the Whitlock family would definitely reconsider accepting Natalie if she were to make a fool out of herself.
The day of Peter's birthday celebration arrived in the blink of an eye.
The Whitlock family mansion was especially decorated on this day.
The huge villa was entirely lit up with light, the warm yellow lights mixing in with the moonlight.
There were plenty of nobles and socialites present, and the space in front of the mansion was parked full of luxurious cars.
A black Lincoln stopped there, and out stepped an old man in a military uniform, holding a walking stick. Yuna and Ruby were with him as well, and
they were dressed to the nines.
Yuna was dressed up very beautifully.
She was wearing a bright red dress, which outlined her beautiful figure perfectly.
As soon as she got out of the car, she attracted everyone's attention.
Upon entering the lavishly decorated lobby, Peter specially came out to greet them.
"Leonald, I didn't expect you to be here today. What an honor!" Peter greeted the old man with the walking stick.
He was Yuna's grandfather, Leonald Sherman, and he was one of Peter's old comrade-in-arms.
"Of course I had to attend your birthday celebration, Peter." Leonald's gaze fell on Yuna, who was standing to one side. "Yuna, why aren't you greeting your Grandpa Peter?"
Yuna bit her lip and said rather shyly, "Grandpa Peter, happy 80th birthday." She paused, then lowered her voice. "You're... you're not still angry at me, are you?"
Her voice was deliberately lowered, making her seem to be extra apprehensive.
Peter's heart ached at Yuna's appearance, and he forgot all about his anger.
"How could I be angry with you? Don't think too much, Yuna," Peter said cheerfully. "I'm happy to see you come today."
Yuna immediately smiled.
Ruby also said, "Mr. Whitlock, happy 80th birthday! May you be blessed with a long life and great prosperity."
Peter smiled and waved his hands, saying, "You can skip the formalities. I wasn't planning to have a birthday celebration initially, I just wanted to have a meal at home. But they insisted on it!"
Ruby looked around and asked, "Mr. Whitlock, why isn't your granddaughter-in-law here?"
Peter's face stiffened.
