NovelBarChapter 267: Should We Send an Invitation to the Emerson Family? At the Reed family estate, Tina and Jared Farrell returned to find the main hall filled with people. Muff sat at the head of the table, surrounded by members of the Reed family. Seeing them enter, Muff waved them over. "You're back just in time. Come, sit down. We have something to discuss." Tina nodded and took a seat next to Jared on Muff's right side. Once everyone was settled, Muff began, "Now that Tina has been found, it's tto hold a banquet. Jasper, I want you to handle this. Send out invitations widely and ensure the banquet is of the highest standard." Jasper nodded. "I understand. Preparations are already underway." Muff acknowledged this and turned to Tina. "If you have any friends you want to invite, let your father know so we can send out the invitations early. The 15th is a good day; we'll hold it then." Today was the 10th, leaving only five days until the 15th.
"Alright," Tina agreed without much thought.
Muff continued, "Do you have any specific requirements for your attire or jewelry?" He knew Tina was the top fashion designer Waverly Underwood. Even the best designers hired by the Reed family couldn't compare to her.

As expected, Muff simply nodded. "Good! Then it's settled." Turning his gaze to Jared Farrell, Muff's expression grew more disdainful, but he still said, "Although you two are already engaged, her immediate family wasn't involved. You need to inform your grandfather and arrange an engagement banquet in Ashbury." In Ensford, engagement banquets were hosted by the bride's family, but in Ashbury, both engagement and wedding banquets were hosted by the groom's family.
"My grandfather has already made arrangements," Jared said calmly. "Barring any surprises, it should be held the day after tomorrow." Since he and Tina were already engaged, there was no need for another formal engagement ceremony. His grandfather just wanted to host a banquet to introduce Tina to various influential families.
Hearing this, Muff snorted. "Logan Farrell always has to compete with me!" He then turned to Jasper. "Speed up our preparations and hold our banquet tomorrow." Jasper was taken aback. "...You think organizing a banquet is as simple as dining out? It can't be done on such short notice if we want it to be grander than Amber's." Rubbing his temples in frustration, Jasper continued, "Jared, could you ask your grandfather to postpone your family's banquet for a few days? There's no need for another engagement ceremony since her foster parents already hosted one. A simple banquet will suffice." Jared's lips curled slightly as he replied unhurriedly, "Our family's first banquet for Tina won't be simple." Given the rivalry between his grandfather and Muff, the banquet's scale would certainly not be smaller than that of the Reed family.
Jasper sighed inwardly at their competitive nature.
Sensing the tension in the room, Garrett quickly intervened. "Both families know how to handle their banquets. Jared, just ask your grandfather to delay yours a bit so we can hold ours first." "Alright," Jared agreed without further argument.

With that settled, Muff glanced at Jared again and said indifferently, "Pack your things and return to the Farrell family estate. If people find out you're living with Tina before marriage, it could harm her reputation." Jared sighed inwardly but nodded. "Okay." Living here kept certain secrets hidden.
Afterward, Muff inquired about company matters. Jasper was currently in charge of the Reed family business but had delegated most responsibilities to Damian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamian had shown great talent from a young age and had been groomed by Jasper as his successor before Tina was found. He briefed Muff on the company's status, which pleased him greatly. Although he had handed over leadership of the family business, he still needed to stay informed about its operations.
"Father! Should we send an invitation to the Emerson family for this banquet?" Esther suddenly asked.
Though Liliosa was banned from returning hby Muff, the Emerson family was still related by marriage to the Reed family and had intertwined interests.
A major event like this required notifying all prominent families; excluding only the Emerson family would seem inappropriate.
Muff's eyes narrowed as he looked at Tina. "What do you think?" Tina smiled faintly. "If I say don't invite them, will you really not invite them?"
