CHAPTER 219: CHAPTER 219: GRANDPA ASKED ME TO INVITE MS. TANYA SINCLAIR!

Before reaching the front hall, Tanya Sinclair bumped into Zion Monroe, who was anxiously looking for her.

Having just been on edge, Tanya now felt relieved seeing Zion and flashed a genuine smile, "Mr. Monroe, I’m sorry, I should have let you know before I went out."

Zion, looking serious, circled around Tanya several times, checking her from head to toe, ensuring she was unharmed and without a scratch, before finally relaxing.

"Sister Tanya," he said with a grave expression, "please don’t run off recklessly, okay? If anything happens to you, I’ll have a hard time explaining!"

Tanya was bemused by being called ’Sister Tanya’ since Zion was only half a month older than her.

But explaining?

"Who do you need to explain to?" she asked, puzzled.

Zion: "..."

He nearly slipped up and mentioned Brother Pierce.

With a serious face, he patted his chest, "To my own conscience!"

Tanya: "..."

Zion’s thought process was always bizarre, so nothing he said surprised Tanya.

Soon after they returned to the front hall, the butler entered to announce to the guests that the banquet was starting, and everyone should move to the dining room.

Tanya and Zion were seated at a table diagonally behind The Lynn Family.

The Lynn Family naturally noticed Tanya. Sean Lynn treated her as if she were invisible, while Shelly Sullivan looked disgruntled.

She covered her mouth with a fan and leaned close to Sean’s ear.

"That little brat, she’s everywhere like a ghost. How did she manage to follow us here?" she murmured in a low voice, worried, "Dear, she won’t sabotage our daughter’s plans at a critical moment, will she?"

Sean Lynn sneered, lowering his voice, "Do you think The Kendall Family is a place where she can cause trouble? If she dares to make a scene, she won’t even be able to leave Kendall Family’s gates!"

"But what if..." Shelly Sullivan worried, "What if she says she’s really Cha..."

Sean Lynn didn’t want to hear that name and coldly interrupted her, "Who can prove it if she claims so? I, Sean Lynn, have only one daughter. Am I, her biological father, going to mistake my own daughter?!"

After all, Charlotte Sinclair was already dead, Horace Sinclair had been missing for many years, and The Sinclair Family had suddenly moved their whole family to Aris back then, leaving no relatives or old acquaintances. Sean Lynn had taken care of those acquaintances with money over the years.

As for those who wouldn’t take money, they wouldn’t oppose The Lynn Family for the sake of a lone girl like Tanya Sinclair!

Tanya Sinclair, just a little girl, could she possibly overturn the heavens?

Sean Lynn never took her seriously.

With his words, Shelly Sullivan felt completely assured. She continued to cover her mouth and said to Sean, "Keeping that little brat around is like having a ticking time bomb. She’s such an eyesore, not completely getting rid of her."

Sean Lynn remained indifferent, "You handle these matters; I only have one daughter."

The implication was that he never considered Tanya Sinclair as his daughter!

Cindy Lynn sat on the other side of Shelly Sullivan, with Vincent Hawthorne by her side.

Noticing Vincent seemed a bit distracted, Cindy Lynn took the initiative to grasp his hand.

"Vincent, what are you thinking about?"

Vincent met Cindy’s gentle and affectionate gaze, smiled slightly, and returned her hand grasp, "Just thinking about some company matters."

"Don’t worry," Cindy Lynn said softly, "After today, people on The Hawthorne Family board will naturally see your value and regard you as the sole heir."

Indeed, after Cindy was privately met by Old Master Kendall, as her fiancé, Vincent Hawthorne clearly felt his own status had risen accordingly.

The guests came today, all with status and power mostly above The Hawthorne Family, yet many approached him, offering contact details, proposing more cooperation in the future...

Cindy Lynn was not only his savior but also his benefactor for his career!

He should be happy and treat her even better.

Vincent Hawthorne gave Cindy Lynn a gentle, silent smile.

Just then, Felix Kendall pushed Old Master Kendall’s wheelchair to the seats, prompting all the guests to stand and offer congratulations, filling the room with a bustling, high-spirited atmosphere.

"Thank you all for taking the time to celebrate this old man’s birthday today," Old Master Kendall responded with a smile and a nod.

Felix Kendall pushed him to the main seat at the head table.

Felix Kendall sat on Old Master Kendall’s right side, with relatives sharing the same lineage from The Kendall Family at the table. However, today, a seat was specially reserved beside Old Master Kendall.

Many guests knowingly turned their gaze toward Cindy Lynn.

After all, she was the only one that Old Master Kendall had personally summoned to the study for a private meeting before the banquet began!

The last person to receive such treatment was a secretary from The Presidential Palace, delivering a gift from the president.

"Who exactly is this Cindy Lynn? I’ve never heard of The Lynn Family, have you?"

"To be favored by Old Master Kendall, The Lynn Family must be quite significant. Didn’t you see Rhys Lucas, the only son of The Lucas Family, also following her? Probably an old established family from Suthern that just kept a low profile before."

"Looks like the eight major aristocratic families of Aris might soon welcome a new addition."

Tanya Sinclair calmly sipped her tea as she listened to the whispered discussions around her.

No wonder Cindy Lynn had Rhys Lucas wrapped around her finger. With The Lucas Family’s position backing his sycophantic behavior, it certainly boosted her standing.

Old Master Kendall, seated at the main table, smiled courteously as he scanned the room, but then his gaze locked intensely on Cindy Lynn’s direction!

His eyes became excited, and he quickly pulled Felix Kendall beside him.

Felix immediately leaned in to listen, and Old Master Kendall asked him urgently, "The girl with the tilted updo, wearing a blue cheongsam, which family is she from?"

Tilted updo, blue cheongsam, isn’t that...

Felix Kendall glanced over and immediately spotted Tanya Sinclair in the crowd.

He softly informed Old Master Kendall about her, and the elder’s eyes brightened further, "Is her surname Sinclair?"

"Yes."

Old Master Kendall was thrilled, "She resembles... She resembles so much!"

"Grandpa, who does she resemble?" Felix Kendall had never seen his grandfather so excited.

But Old Master Kendall had no intention of explaining further, he just quietly instructed, "Invite that young lady over here, I have something to ask her."

"Yes."

Though unsure, Felix decided to follow his grandfather’s instructions.

He got up and walked toward Tanya Sinclair.

"Look, Mr. Kendall is heading over personally!" Shelly Sullivan grasped Cindy Lynn’s arm in excitement, "He must be coming to invite you over on behalf of Old Master Kendall!"

The others also turned to look.

In that moment, Cindy Lynn’s vanity was at its peak. Seeing Felix Kendall getting closer, her heart raced uncontrollably in her chest. She was thoroughly enjoying this limelight, being the envy of everyone!

The feeling of being at the top is wonderful!

Cindy Lynn tried hard to keep her excitement in check. As Felix was less than five meters away, she stood up with an air of modesty, adjusted her hair, and smiled warmly at him.

"Mr. Kendall."

Felix paused in front of her, looking somewhat oddly, "Ms. Lynn, are you planning to go somewhere?"

Though his voice wasn’t loud, it wasn’t soft either, and at this moment, the entire banquet hall’s guests were focused on them. Some even discreetly took out phones to snap photos.

Felix’s question immediately echoed throughout the banquet hall.

Cindy Lynn’s smile froze, "What do you mean?" as if she hadn’t heard clearly.

Damn it, wasn’t Felix Kendall coming to invite her?

Felix raised an eyebrow, his voice amplified, "I said, if you’re not intending to go, Ms. Lynn, could you please make way? You’re blocking my path."

Ignoring Cindy’s thunderstruck expression, his gaze swept past her, directly fixating on Tanya Sinclair, who had already stood up.

Felix Kendall smiled slightly, extended an invitation, "Ms. Tanya Sinclair, my grandfather requests your presence at the table."

Zion Monroe, having seen through the situation, immediately quipped, "Oh, turns out it’s an invitation for my Sister Tanya. Isn’t someone’s eagerness a bit embarrassing?"
