Upon hearing, Evelyn Clayton thought for a moment and said, "Let’s leave it at that, I wasn’t very polite today either."
After a pause, Evelyn continued, "I can feel that he actually doesn’t mean anything else, he just wants to help James Grant, to lend a hand, that’s all."
Yara Reagan laughed at this, looking somewhat dismissive, "I know what that guy is plotting. He’s been on and off with Lynn Yates all these years, but never completely ended it."
Evelyn raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by that?"
"I know, I know," Iris Lockwood chimed in eagerly with gossip, "Isn’t the Yates Family supposed to marry into the Grant Family? Lynn Yates has always refused, and two months ago at her father Charles Yates’ 65th birthday, the entire Grant Family attended. During the banquet, the matter of the two families’ marriage was mentioned, and Lynn Yates flipped the table."
Evelyn was shocked upon hearing this, hesitantly said, "Did she really flip the table?"
Iris quickly replied, "No, no, that’s just an exaggerated metaphor. Lynn Yates made it clear at the table that she wouldn’t marry anyone from the Grant Family except James Grant."
"And then?" Evelyn slightly raised an eyebrow, "This actually means there’s still room left, just that Jasper Grant and Matthew Sullivan might feel embarrassed."
Iris chuckled, "Yeah, there’s room left. After hearing that, Harrison Grant naturally pressured James Grant. And of course, James has a worse temper than Lynn Yates, angering his old man into the hospital again. He just got out last month."
Yara took a sip of water, leisurely said, "When Harrison Grant went to the hospital, Iris and I chipped in to set off firecrackers near the hospital for three days."
Evelyn nearly spat out her water, "Why didn’t you tell me?"
"Do you want to reimburse us?" Iris laughed heartily, "How about a little compensation?"
Evelyn was amused but agreed, "Reimbursement is fine, no problem." Latest content published on noveⅼfire.net
Iris shook her head cheerfully, "Sigh, James Grant’s relationship with the Grant Family hasn’t eased over the past two years; it’s gotten even more tense. And I heard, the old Grant seems to have decided to hold a press conference to recognize Marcus officially and change his surname."
This news was unexpected.
However, Evelyn thought that it was only a matter of time before this event happened.
Thanks to Marcus’s efforts over the years, he’s finally getting a "recognition of his roots" reward.
It really is laughable.
After listening to Iris, Yara tapped the table, "We’ve gone off track here, talk about Keith Donovan and Lynn Yates."
"Oh right, Keith!" Iris brought the topic back, "He said years ago he wouldn’t pursue Lynn Yates anymore, but recently, he seems to be rekindling old flames, being very attentive. I suspect he’s thinking to help James Grant so that he can reconcile with you quickly, making Lynn Yates lose hope."
Evelyn didn’t want to comment but was genuinely disgusted by Keith Donovan’s thoughts and actions.
His behavior makes it seem like aside from James Grant, Lynn Yates has no other choice but him.
With Lynn Yates’s personality, she’d never willingly be with him.
However, Evelyn soon figured it out.
These are just speculations from Iris and Yara, unreliable.
But Keith Donovan’s actions, Evelyn absolutely cannot accept.
During their casual chat, the dishes were served, and the group had a simple lunch.
As they were almost finished, Evelyn called a waiter to order a few more dishes to take back for Pauline Warren to try.
Just after placing her order, she saw someone enter the restaurant.
It was Keith Donovan.
