Such a sudden incident surprised everyone, and the Duke of Rolle also suddenly understood.
Who would have thought that the present wasn’t from Cyril’s family, but from the Youssie Corporation to Winnie?
Such an incident made the Duke of Rolle extremely ashamed. He felt like he was slapped in the face by someone in front of everyone else.
As the leader of the Rolle family, the Duke of Rolle certainly wouldn’t take the responsibility for these things. So, Aries naturally became the person who took the blame in the end.
After all, everything was caused by Aries back then. At that time, the Duke of Rolle had no idea that Winnie had such a relationship with the CEO of Youssie Corporation.
If the Duke of Rolle had known, he would never have treated Winnie like that!
Besides, Cyril admitted that he sent the white jade at first. Now that such an incident happened, the Duke of Rolle also looked at Cyril in rage.
Cyril also felt bad in his mind. After all, everyone was currently staring at him with a different gaze, making him very uncomfortable.
Cyril had admitted in front of everyone at the beginning, and many of them even fawned on Cyril at first.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cyril quickly said, “Haha, that’s truly a coincidence. We sent the same present as the Youssie Corporation!”
Even though it sounded forced, everyone else didn’t suspect anything.
When Cyril saw that everyone seemed to understand the situation and had just felt relieved, Lisana on the side suddenly asked, “But how much did you spend on that white jade?”
Cyril’s heart sank. How would he know about this?
However, seeing everyone look at him curiously, Cyril frowned slightly and said with a bit of embarrassment, “I guess… I guess tens of millions?
“In fact, it was also picked by my father himself, so I am not sure about the price of it.”
As soon as Cyril finished talking, Lisana’s voice came. “Our Madam said before that this white jade was passed down in the family, and it’s worth at least 100 million.”
Cyril was completely dumbfounded. Apparently, he had never thought that this white jade would be so expensive.
In an instant, everyone knew that Cyril was lying, so they all looked at him in disdain.
This made Cyril ashamed and angry. He could only say again, “About the white jade my father sent here, I’m not sure about the exact price because I wasn’t there when he chose it.”
“Haha!”
Lisana looked at Cyril and said coldly, “Mr. Cyril, you probably remembered it wrongly. After all, Madam told me very clearly back then that there’s only one white jade in this world.”
Cyril really wanted to find a crack on the ground and hide inside.
Alger also said, “But we were also there on the Duke of Rolle’s birthday. I remember clearly that the Duke of Rolle only received one white jade.
“I’m not sure where the white jade you’re talking about is delivered to, Mr. Cyril. Perhaps people from the Youssie Corporation are lying?”
“You!” Cyril looked at Alger furiously.
Cyril couldn’t say that the Wells family also delivered one. After all, Lisana made it very clear that there was only one in the world.
Then, how could he get another one?
Besides, the Youssie Corporation wasn’t a company the Wells family could provoke publicly.
So, the atmosphere became very strange right now.
Cyril looked at Alger furiously, thinking that Alger must have something to do with how the situation had developed.
However, everyone only paid attention to Cyril for a while before they started discussing.
“What kind of a person is Winnie? She must be a being blessed by God!”
“That’s right. The CEO of Youssie Corporation obviously has feelings for Winnie.”
“…”
Madam Bella collected herself at this moment and was extremely excited in her mind.
That was the CEO of Youssie Corporation!
Someone whose identity and status were even more impressive than those of the likes of Cyril!
With the CEO of Youssie Corporation, Cyril became dispensable in Madam Bella’s eyes.
Aries looked extremely pale, knowing that he was at a disadvantage as things developed to this point.
Lisana then said as she looked at everyone else, “Also, our CEO told me that the Duke of Rolle’s celebration banquet this time was mainly held to celebrate Miss Winnie’s birthday.”
Lisana said as she looked at the pale Duke of Rolle and continued, “Right?”
“Right, right, right!” The Duke of Rolle quickly nodded and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
After all, the Duke of Rolle didn’t even plan to let Winnie participate at the beginning.
Lisana then looked at Winnie in the crowd and said, “Now, let us invite Miss Winnie to the stage!”
Winnie gazed at Alger and explained, “Alger, I actually have no idea what’s going on. I’ve never seen the CEO of Youssie Corporation.”
Alger was touched in his mind after hearing this. He said with a smile, “I know!”
Seeing that Alger didn’t suspect her, Winnie was finally relieved, but she was also very confused after thinking about it. She hadn’t even seen the CEO of Youssie Corporation.
Why did he do this?
Did Alger have something to do with it as well?
Winnie subconsciously glanced at Lisana. Did Alger know the CEO of Youssie Corporation?
Winnie looked at Alger in panic. Alger nodded at her calmly, as if he had predicted this to happen.
Winnie couldn’t help but think about what Alger said to her about celebrating her birthday with her here at the beginning.
At first, Winnie thought Alger was joking, but it turned out to be true.
And now, such an incident happened in front of so many dukes and ladies. From now on, everyone in the upper class would know of Winnie’s name.
Winnie didn’t know what to do. She looked at Alger anxiously. Frustrated, Alger could only bring Winnie to the stage.
Then, he looked at Winnie and sang her the birthday song affectionately.
So, everyone present followed Alger’s key and sang while clapping along.
Who would have thought that the person, who had been ignored in the crowd just then, would become the focus of the entire banquet.
…
Suddenly, a lot of people in the main hall left in a hurry before rushing back again quickly. The cards in their hands changed from congratulating Rolle Corporation to wishing Winnie a happy birthday.
After seeing this scene, Aries felt extremely resentful in his mind.
He couldn’t understand at all why the CEO of Youssie Corporation would like Winnie, a married woman!
Winnie’s status was even higher than that of Aries right now, which made Aries, who had always been pampered at home, felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
At the same time, Alger on the stage said something astonishing again while looking at Winnie.
