Chapter 415: The Birthday Banquet

Lysander was about to walk over when he saw Tina holding Jared's arm, leading their family with Logan in another direction. Lysander was frustrated, "Didn't you say you'd separate them as soon as it started? What now?" Orson hadn't expected his grandfather to come out and take Tina away either. "The first step of the plan failed. What else can we do?" The two young men exchanged a look of mutual disdain before going their separate ways. From a distance, Tina noticed Lysander and was surprised to see him with Orson. "Have they made up?" she asked. Jared, annoyed at the sight of Lysander, tried not to show it since Lysander was Tina's friend. "I don't know, let them be," he replied. Tina didn't ask further.

Logan strictly followed the rehearsal, pulling Tina along to make an entrance that would ensure she received everyone's attention as his granddaughter-in-law. Though resigned, Tina complied, knowing the birthday celebrant had the final say. As they waited, Vivienne approached with a box in her hand containing her latest jewelry design. "Grandfather, Tina," she began, "I was thinking that after your speech, Tina could wear this jewelry to promote it. What do you think?" Logan didn't speak but showed some displeasure in his eyes. He wanted Tina to simply make an appearance with him to highlight her status, not to become a promotional tool for the company.

Vivienne quickly explained, "I just think this bright jewelry suits Tina well; I have no other intentions." Her motive was for the company's benefit, so Logan couldn't really blame her. "Tina will just make an appearance with me. You wear it yourself; it'll be more convenient. I'll give you a chance to speak later," he said. Seeing Logan's refusal, Vivienne had no choice but to give up. She had hoped to leverage Tina's status to boost her jewelry line.

Tina glanced at the jewelry in Vivienne's hand. It looked fresh at first glance but lacked lasting appeal and could easily become a decorative burden.

"Tina, let's go," Logan said as he led her into the hall for his speech.

Walter emerged from behind and mockingly looked at Vivienne. "How did it go? Fell flat on your face? Still need me." Vivienne's eyes turned cold as she warned sternly, "You better not mess things up and ruin my jewelry launch!" The birthday banquet was a perfect opportunity-a chance to kill Jared. But after the art exhibition, she sensed Jared had caught on to something. She could predict that if she acted during the banquet, it would end in complete failure!

So, she hadn't planned on killing Jared this time. The priority now was to solidify her position in her grandfather's heart and reduce Jared's vigilance.

Walter scoffed coldly, "With those lousy trinkets of yours? You think that'll make Grandfather value us? You're so obsessed with these things that you've lost your mind. At this rate, Jared will take over the Farrell family. Will you still care about those trinkets then?"
