Chapter 76 Tina Still Not Here?

Hugo and Jennie's faces were sour. The clothes they wore, brand new and costing a total of ten thousand dollars, represented a luxury to them. Despite the cost, they bit the bullet and bought the outfits for Tina's sake, only to be scorned by others.

Today was the engagement party, and the entire Reed family had arrived, each dressed to the nines, as if the engagement was for one of their own. Hugo felt indignant but held his tongue out of respect for the occasion.

The engagement party had four tables set up, three of which were occupied by the Reed family members. The Farrell family had one table, including Logan, Jared's parents, and uncles.

The party was scheduled to start at noon, but as the time approached, Tina was nowhere to be seen. Jennie and Hugo tried to call her repeatedly but couldn't get through.

"Tina really has no manners! How can she be late to such an important event, making all the elders wait for her?" Talon fumed, still holding a grudge against Tina for a past incident where he ended up failing to appease Ivy. "Uncle Talon, Tina is just a country bumpkin; what manners can we expect? She's trying to show us up now that she's getting engaged to Logan," Annie said with a tinge of jealousy.

Today's modest affair was organized by Hugo, yet the Farrell family members arrived in cars worth millions, making headlines in Ensford. This prestige, which should have been Amber's, was stolen by Tina, and the thought made Annie uncomfortable.

"Humph! What gives her the right to show us up?" Talon said coldly.

The Farrell family had already entered their private room, while the Reeds were still outside, so Jared didn't hear Talon's remarks.

Hugo, already anxious and upset, exploded after Talon's outburst, "Talon, enough! Ever since Tina returned, you've looked at her unfavorably. What exactly has she done to you?"

Before Talon could respond, Hugo continued, "Don't bring up the birthday party, that was your own doing, and the affair with the nanny was your fault, not Tina's. And today, we didn't invite you here; if you can't wait, you're free to leave!" Talon was enraged by Hugo's audacity, "You've turned against me! I'm your brother, and you dare talk to me this way? Have you no respect?"
