However, Julia couldn’t help but frown at their overly obsequious attitude. She and Harry were friends, peers. The Green family, as her own relatives, should not be so fawning toward them. It felt out of place.

But Julia wasn’t about to speak up in front of everyone. After all, the Brown family had been prosperous for decades, while the Green family had only risen to prominence in the past ten years.

In terms of background, the Green family still paled in comparison to the Brown family. So while Harry and Levi didn’t think much of the Green family, they chose to overlook it, focusing on their relationship with Julia.

After exchanging pleasantries and handing over gifts to the Green family, Harry turned to Julia and asked, “Where’s Frank? Has he not arrived yet?”

Julia replied, “There were some business issues abroad that he had to take care of, and he’s been staying up late these past few days to handle everything. Unfortunately, things aren’t fully resolved yet, so I’ve heard he’ll be a little late.”

Harry and Levi nodded in understanding but didn’t press further.

Julia, who was familiar with both of them, personally guided them to their seats.

At this point, it was getting late, and the banquet was ready to begin.

The main guest of the evening, Franklin, had not yet arrived, and Miles Green was uncertain whether they should proceed with the banquet or wait for him.

appropriate to do so.

“But… isn’t it a little inappropriate to start without Franklin?” Miles hesitated.

“It’s fine, he won’t mind,” Julia said confidently.

Her words were as if she was speaking on behalf of Franklin. That she dared to speak for him demonstrated just how close their relationship was.

The other guests, noticing that Julia was so certain that Franklin wouldn’t mind starting the banquet without him, couldn’t help but deepen their understanding of how important she was to him.
