She Dumped Her Dodgy Husband After Suffering Amnesiac

Chapter 171 Uninvited Guest



After Hellen gave the gifts, the friends and relatives of the Thomas Family all went forward to offer their congratulations.

After chatting for a while, there were more and more guests.

Granny Thomas was worried that Hellen would be tired, so she asked her to sit on a chair to rest.

Thus, Hellen brought a cup of tea and watched as one person after another came in to offer their birthday congratulations.

Those who came were famous people in Hail City; some were masters of antiques, calligraphy, and painting. When Hellen’s grandfather was alive, he was straightforward and made many friends. The Thomas Family had always had a good reputation in Hail City.

Hellen listened to the housekeeper reporting the gift list, then offered the gifts for her granny to see.

From time to time, someone would come, causing Hellen to feel a bit sleepy. She quietly covered her lips and let out a yawn.

“Xeno William, the young master of the William family, and Hans Grant from the Grant family of Tempe City have come to congratulate you on your birthday.”

Hellen shuddered, then looked towards the door.

Most of the people in the house were relatives of the Thomas Family. They had all heard about Hans and Hellen’s divorce.

Everyone looked at the door.

Everet frowned as he stood up. Karim stood up as well.

Both of them stared unkindly at the person who had walked in.

Xeno walked in front and whispered to Hans beside him, “More than half of the people in this hall are glaring at us. This is the first time I’ve been hated so much! It’s all thanks to you!”

Hans’s expression was calm. He swept his gaze across the crowd and finally landed on Hellen, sitting below Granny Thomas.

Hellen was exceptionally charming today. She wore a red cheongsam, and the hem of her skirt was loose, covering her slightly protruding belly.

Her skin looked even fairer in the red cheongsam. Her black hair was tied up with a branch-like hairpin, and the cherry on the hairpin was a giant ruby.

Hellen’s clear and bright eyes were fixed on Hans.

Hans smiled gently. Hellen pursed her lips and held the glass tightly.

Granny Thomas frowned and also noticed the interaction between Hans and Hellen.

Granny Thomas hated this man who had let down her granddaughter very, very much!

However, all the guests were present, so Granny Thomas suppressed her anger. After all, Hans was here to celebrate her birthday.

“I represent the William family wishes Granny Thomas has a long life.”

Xeno was no longer his usual playboy self. Instead, he congratulated Granny Thomas with a respectful look.

The gift he sent was a jade carving of the God of Longevity.

The Thomas and William families were prominent in Hail City, and the two groups cooperated. Granny Thomas smiled and said, “Thank you, Mr. Xeno.”

Then, she looked at Hans.

“I represent the Grant family of Tempe City to wish you prosperity and a happy life.” Hans was also respectful.

Granny Thomas pursed her lips. After a few seconds, she reluctantly said, “Thank you, Mr. Grant. Please take a seat.”

Hellen held a glass in his hand. Hans had sent over a set of top-notch South Mandara mahjong tiles. Everyone in Hail City liked to play mahjong, so Hans’s gift was appropriate.

Hellen could tell at a glance that these Southamak Agates were top quality goods, each gram worth over 1. 5 thousand dollars. The value of this entire set of mahjong was very high…

Hellen didn’t say anything.

Hans glanced around the room and went straight to Hellen’s side to sit down.

Everyone in the room had different expressions on their faces. Most of them left after the birthday celebration. They asked Hans to sit down just to say some polite words. Why did Hans really sit down? And he even sat in a seat only relatives could sit in?

No one spoke on the day. It was just that they all had different thoughts.

Hellen was feeling conflicted as well. While someone was congratulating her granny, she lowered her voice and asked Hans, “Why are you here in Hail City?”noveldrama

Hans’s expression was indifferent. “I’m here to discuss a collaboration with the Williams Group. I heard that it’s Granny Thomas’s birthday banquet. I thought that since you’ve been taking care of my granny for so long, I should return the favor, so I came here with him.”

Was that so?

Hellen stared at Hans in confusion. He looked calm and composed.

Hans took the teacup from the maid beside him and took a sip.

Hans’s profile was stunning. Hellen didn’t see anything wrong with it, but her heart was beating fast. She quickly turned her face away.

Soon, the housekeeper arrived at the door and said, “Granny Grant, Miss Lewis of the Lewis Group is here to congratulate you on your birthday!”

Hellen and Everet both looked towards the door at the same time.

Darcy had always been an unrestrained person. The Lewis Group had a branch company in Hail City, and most of the people in the room recognized her.

“Granny Thomas, I wish you all the best!”

Darcy’s cheerful appearance was like a mediator, making everyone in the room laugh.

Granny Thomas smiled and said to her good friend, “This is the young lady of the Lewis family, getting along very well with Hellen.”

Darcy smiled gently and said, “Granny Thomas, this is my gift.”

Darcy presented the Pinecrane Longevity Painting that she’d obtained with great difficulty as if she was giving a treasure. She seemed incredibly proud of herself.

Granny Thomas praised her repeatedly and then sincerely asked her to sit down.

Darcy turned her head with a smile. When she saw Everet, her expression froze.

She wanted to find Hellen, but she saw Hellen and Hans sitting together.

Darcy stared at Hellen. She was shocked. What was going on?!

On the other side of Hans sat Xeno. There was an empty seat next to Xeno.

Darcy still bore a grudge for what Xeno had done to her yesterday. She narrowed her eyes and sat down.

“Mr. Xeno, what a coincidence! We meet again!” After Darcy sat down, she gnashed her teeth and said.

Xeno was usually a self-centered show-off, but today he looked particularly gentlemanly and elegant. He felt guilty and said with a smile, “Miss Lewis, drink tea.”

Darcy narrowed her eyes. “Xeno! You tricked me yesterday! I’ll take revenge when I get the chance!”

Xeno pursed his lips and whispered, “If I said Hans asked the driver to drive the car, would you believe me?”

“Are you trying to have others be punished for you?”

Although Xeno and Darcy were tits for tats, they were both from wealthy families and had learned etiquette from a young age.

Both wore a faint smile, and outsiders looking at them seemed to be talking in a low voice.

Hellen quietly looked at Darcy and Xeno and then looked at his brother. “Sure enough, they don’t look well!”

Many guests had arrived. Hellen sat there, rather tired.

Hans sat beside her and asked, “Do you have to sit here all the time?”

Hellen nodded weakly, “Guests have come to congratulate the birthday. It would be impolite if I wasn’t here.”

Hans frowned and listened to what Hellen said again.

“But it’s almost over. The banquet will be held at noon. There’s still an hour left.”

Hans looked at Hellen from the side and pursed his lips slightly. He worried about her.

Seeing that it was about to end, Hellen looked around and saw that Darcy and Xeno were still “in full swing” chatting.

Her elder brother’s face had almost darkened.

On the other hand, Karim frowned at her sometimes as if he didn’t like Hans.

Karlen changed her posture from time to time.

Hellen quietly looked at her granny’s expression. Her granny was obviously tired as well.

Outside, the housekeeper suddenly raised his voice.

“Leon Collins of the Collins Group has arrived.”

Everyone in the room was stunned, and then the expressions of the Thomas and Jovano family turned indifferent!

Karim stood up. “He still dares to come?!”
