Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 300 You Really Are Shameless

Josiah maintained his composure, his tone chilly and dismissive, “Tonight is Grandpa’s birthday, so naturally, everything should revolve around him. Even when I missed these banquets in the past, my heart was always with Grandpa. Unlike some people who, despite being physically present, seem to only care about causing a spectacle no matter the occasion.”

His words were tinged with subtle ridicule, prompting several family members to suppress their chuckles.

“Josiah, could you elaborate? Exactly who are you referring to?” Hayden’s laugh followed, masking his simmering anger. He was astute enough to catch the barb in Josiah’s remark.

“All right, let’s drop it.” At this juncture, Felix intervened, keen to avoid any escalation into conflict during the celebration. “We’re almost ready to begin, and most of our guests have arrived. Tonight’s proceedings are crucial to our family’s reputation, so I expect everyone to host impeccably. We cannot afford any mistakes!”

“Understood!” came the unified response from the family.

With that, the family members dispersed to attend to their duties.

Given Mason’s disability, he was exempt from hosting duties, leaving Josiah and Xander to circulate among the guests.

As they walked together, Xander whispered to Josiah, “It’s clear Hayden came prepared tonight. He might try to stir up trouble for you, so stay alert.”

“Got it,” Josiah acknowledged.

As the clock struck eight, the grand entrance saw a flurry of activity. The Blume family had rolled out a vibrant red carpet, and housekeepers lined the path, bowing warmly to welcome the guests streaming into the banquet hall.

Meanwhile, at Lockhart Villa, Madelyn was putting the finishing touches on her look with the help of a professional stylist. She donned an exquisite burgundy gown that, while seemingly understated at first glance, beautifully highlighted her elegant figure.

Stepping into the well–lit room, her appearance transformed. The dress, adorned with delicate scales, caught the light, scattering twinkling specks around her. The effect was mesmerizing.

Her necklace, a gift from Sebastian, shimmered against her neck, making her look like a celestial being draped in starlight.

“How do I look?” Madelyn twirled in front of Sebastian, her smile radiating under the starlit effect.
