Chapter 140
Seeing the guests streaming in non-stop, Georgina Spencer and Garfield Spencer couldn’t help but beam with smiles.
Just as Charlene had suspected, they indeed remembered Helena’s birthday.
No, to put it more accurately, after celebrating Helena’s birthday for so many years, it was a day they couldn’t forget even if they wanted to.
Hence, their decision to schedule the housewarming party on this very day was no coincidence.
They remembered their original plan to move across the street from the Ross family. However, Charlene intervened, pleading with Thorne to change this, which ultimately disrupted their plans and left them quite angry.
Nevertheless, Thorne had made it up to them later on.
In a way, their misfortune turned into a blessing.
Thinking of this, and recalling how they deliberately set their housewarming on this day, effectively snatching the Ross family’s guests, their mood brightened even further.
Leah Spencer whispered with a chuckle, “I bet the Ross family’s banquet is pretty empty by now. Hah, they went through all the trouble of preparing, and now they can’t even keep their guests. How embarrassing! If this gets out, everyone will know that the Ross family has lost not just their influence but also their connections. Let’s see who dares to do business with them after this!”
Rhoda patted her hand, also laughing, “Exactly.”
Although the Spencer family had invited many influential figures to Starfall, they weren’t personally acquainted with many of them.
Thus, while it was their housewarming, it also served as an opportunity to network.
The diamond bracelet Thorne had bid for Vesta was worn by her that evening.
Thorne’s extravagant spending of over four hundred million on four items at the auction was well-known, highlighting how much he valued Vesta. Many guests, eager to curry favor, complimented her, “That bracelet really suits you. Mr. Henderson has great taste.”
Although the guests were flattering, Vesta was naturally beautiful, and everything looked good on her. Dressed to the nines that day, the diamond bracelet on her wrist was the perfect complement, enhancing her elegance and grace. Vesta replied, “Thank you.”
In their efforts to get close to the Hawkins family, many had done their homework.
Thus, quite a few were aware of Katie’s fondness for antique collections.
Someone couldn’t help but mention, “I heard your grandmother loves collecting antiques. Was that antique
vase from the last auction specifically purchased by Mr. Henderson as a gift for Katie?”
The use of “a gift” clearly showed they regarded Thorne as practically part of the Hawkins family.
Vesta nodded, confirming, “Yes.”
*.That antique vase indeed won Katie’s heart.
Thinking about the vase, Katie couldn’t hide her joy. After all, it was a vase worth over a hundred million.
It was undeniable that Thorne was both thoughtful and generous towards his granddaughter Vesta.
Hearing this, Georgina felt a pang of jealousy.
Being one of Vesta’s elders, while Katie received an antique vase, she got nothing.
However, Vesta mentioned that Thorne had also bid on two other items that night, each worth over a hundred million, even more expensive than the antique vase.
Thorne was aware of the Spencer family’s housewarming today.
Georgina speculated that at least one of those items was intended for the Spencer family.
With that thought, her spirits lifted considerably.
