Triplets’ Attack: Game Over Daddy Chapter 110
Chapter 110 The Wade Family Banquet 2
Nicolette refused to let Celine get away with her snide comment. I invited Lizzy to my party, and I won’t let anyone
bully her.
Nicolette asked, “Aunt Celine, when is your daughter coming? Did she claim she was busy because she didn’t want
to give me a present?” She changed the conversation topic to divert attention from Elizabeth’s affairs.
She had been too young to understand what had happened back then. Over the years, she pieced things together
from gossip by the other Wade family members. Nicolette learned the Ashtons kicked Elizabeth out of the house
over her teenage pregnancy. Her elder cousin went missing shortly after that. Nicolette would have remained in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdark if her mother had not mentioned Elizabeth’s return. She and Francine tracked Elizabeth down and invited her
to the party. Nicolette had been ecstatic to see Elizabeth again. She missed the latter dearly over the years.
Meanwhile, Celine eyed her husband, whose displeasure was palpable. She had spent years hadmouthing Elizabeth,
ensuring his support for her and Tiana. Richard firmly believed that Elizabeth was a shame to him and the Wade
family. He would never help her out of such an awkward situation.
Celine replied to Nicolette, “Tia went to her boyfriend’s place. She’ll be here after their dinner.” She grinned from
ear to ear, looking like the cat that ate the canary.
Her response piqued the Wade family’s curiosity. “Tia has a boyfriend? That’s fast.” “Weren’t we talking about
shortlisting some potential in-laws for Tia? How did things progress so quickly?”
Elizabeth’s third aunt, Christina Woods, chimed in, “Who is he? Why didn’t she bring him over to visit us? We should
help Tia to vet this man.” “Yeah! Does he come from a rich family? If he’s from an average background, it would be
prudent to give her relationship a second thought.”
Christina, who was also Celine’s younger sister, piped up, “You should remind Tia not to become blinded by love.
Otherwise…” The warning came out unbidden as Christina recalled Elizabeth’s past. Deciding to spare the latter’s
dignity, Christina abruptly stopped herself from blatantly mentioning her niece’s sordid past. Instead, Christina
merely shot Elizabeth a disdainful glance. Celine was just waiting for them to ask about Tiana’s boyfriend.
She deliberately built the suspense by answering, “They seem to like Tia a lot. She’s visited his family home twice,
but we haven’t met him yet. We’ll see how it goes.”
Celine’s smug expression intrigued the Ashtons, and someone urged, “Who is he, Aunt Celine? Come on, don’t
leave us hanging!”
After shooting Elizabeth a cold glance, Celine announced loudly, “She’s seeing the Lowens’ son, Matthew Hilton.” A
second of silence ensued. Then, everyone exclaimed in unison, “Matthew Hilton?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey exchanged glances among themselves, disappointment flooding their souls. The other Ashtons had been
dreaming of their daughters marrying into the Hilton family. Now it seemed they had lost their chance.
Lucky Tia! She started as the, mistress’ kid. Now, she’s the Wade family heiress and poised to marry into the
wealthy Hilton family. It’s the stuff of fairytales! ‘Congratulations, Celine!” “Tia is such a lucky girl!”
Elizabeth watched as her relatives fell all over themselves to butter up Celine. Christina exclaimed, “Your future is
brighter than ever, Celine. Such a lovely son-in-law! You’ll be the subject of everyone’s envy!”
She glanced at her daughter, Rachelle Wade, as she expressed her compliments. Hmph! My daughter’s more
beautiful and intelligent than Tiana. Why isn’t she this lucky? Rachelle averted her gaze and pretended not to hear a
thing. Just then, Tiana entered the restaurant. She placed a branded shopping bag in front of Nicolette and wished
her, “Happy birthday, Nic!”
Nicolette appraised the gift and grudgingly commended her generosity. “Thank you, Fels,” she replied. Then Tiana
sat beside Elizabeth, Occupying the seat everyone had left empty out of scorn for the shunned woman.
