Esme was surprised by those words. Now he understood, why the original body owner had always run to Old Grandpa Hall for a defense. And Old Grandfather Hall will always defend him.
“I saw you grow up. Your character and personality, how could I not know?”
Esme smiled and bowed slightly to him. “Thank you, Grandpa.”
“If you want to thank me, don't save those letters.” Old Grandpa Hall sighed heavily and said, “I am old, I will trouble you to take care of that little wedge in the future.”
“Grandfather, you are kidding!”
One thing Jason dislikes is the person who looks after him.
“I'm serious! I won't allow you two a divorce!”
“Jason said, you already gave permission for that, right?”
“Omong empty!” Old Grandfather Hall snapped loudly. “Jason just rambled mosong crap to lie to you!”
Ah, so that's the problem. To make sure he keeps the letters, Jason even lies in making a decision on Grandpa's approval.
“Grandfather, don't worry, I won't save the mail by force.” Esme displayed a charming smile on the surface, while her heart thought coldly.
Jason Hall, the more you want me to shut up, the more I insist I will do otherwise.
“As long as you can survive in your love, it is more than enough.” Old Grandpa Hall held Esme's hand, smiled lovingly and added, “There will be a day where Jason reciprocates your feelings. And like me, he'll thank you.”
Meanwhile, Layla and Clara were standing some distance away with my eyes staring at them.
They watched how Old Grandpa Hall held Esme's hand, and chatted excitedly. Envy flashed in Layla's eyes.
“I really don't understand, why does Old Grandpa Hall defend that whore more?” Clara blabbed in annoyance.
“The prostitute will have a prostitution tool.”
Watching Old Grandpa Hall scolding Esme affectionately, Layla's heart naturally became bitter.
Jason had always had a sense of resentment towards Esme, but he would listen to Old Grandpa Hall. He had paired Jason with the prostitute, and Jason followed her without question. This time, if he didn't allow Jason to get a divorce, then Jason would listen to him as well.
Old Grandpa Hall really liked Esme. There was certainly no chance for the old man to agree to their divorce.
“After she hit me in public and the media branded her as shameless and outrageous, she had no more reputation. I really don't understand, why Old Grandpa Hall loves him so much.” Clara was blabbering without feeling tired.
“I told you already, the trash can will have their means.” It was obvious that Layla was upset as well.
While speaking, Clara's eyes suddenly turned cold. “It looks like we should use the last trick.”
“What's on your mind?”
Clara blinks with a dangerous smile, “You'll know later.”
“Do not be reckless! After all, there was a friendship between the Andreas family and the Hall.” family
“No need to worry, Brother. My target is Esme. It will not affect the relationship between two families.”
After dinner, people are free to have their own entertainment.
At this moment, a narrow-eyed good friend of Roy came up with a present.
It was an ancient phoenix-headed Chinese harp that looked like a lute. His work is very smooth and beautiful.
Roy knows he likes to collect antiques and luxury items from his country. And now he gave one of them to her. That's a pride for Roy.
The people who were gathering with Anita immediately surrounded the instrument and commented.
Although Anita had no knowledge of the harp, her two daughters learned piano and violin. He saw the fine work of the Chinese harp and loved it in an instant.
His fingers rubbed the string instrument, and he suddenly turned into a knowledgeable person. "It's a very expensive lute!”
“I heard, your eldest daughter is full of talent. And can even play the sitar. Why not make him play a song for us?” Someone suggested it casually.
Anita looks up. Unnoticed by the others, his eyes clandestinely swept over the gaze of Jason and Old Grandpa Hall.
“Layla, I remember that Old Grandpa Hall liked to hear ancient string instruments. Moreover, there were so many friends and relatives here. Why don't you play a song for us? Think of it as a birthday gift for your Dad.”
Actually, the moment Layla saw the lute, her hands were already itching to play. Besides designing, she also loves music. That is why he learned a lot about musical instruments from any country.
Piano, violin, and lute, he knew how to play this instrument well.
Hearing his mother's words, he became a little embarrassed, looking at the people present. “Mm .. I know very little about harps.” He is also more proficient with violin and piano. In this day and age, everyone rarely knows the ancient musical instruments. Especially not from their country.
“Sister, you are too humble. I know you're the best.” As Clara spoke, she praised him to the sky, placing him on a pedestal.
Featuring a bashful smile on her face, Layla's eyes quietly shot towards Esme and Jason who were sitting on the sofa.
Both look at him.
Layla thought to herself, if she had to show the most perfect side to Jason and Old Grandpa Hall. He had to open their eyes and show them that he was much better than Esme.
He also had to make them realize, apart from having a pretty face and a rather good body, Esme Andreas was nothing.
He really had to let Esme feel inferior and useless compared to him.
And he will make Esme understand clearly if she is not qualified to stand by Jason's side.
Anita smiled confidently, pulling Layla's hand while saying, “It's been a long time since Mom heard you playing music. This lute was sent by Uncle Yang. Even though he said it was a gift for your father, but I think it was a gift for you. Today you have to let us see a beautiful show!”
Layla sat in front of the lute, like a woman of grace and dignity.
His back was straightened, making him appear taller with a charming smile.
After raising his arm, his fingers plucked the strings. Instantly, his expression stiffened.
This harp's voice .. doesn't seem right.
Layla wanted to say that she felt alien to this kind of zither, but right now everyone was putting her in the limelight.
If he said he couldn't play this, then his mother's praise would just be nonsense.
