Chapter 252 Taylor Group 50th Anniversary Gala
On the Saturday morning after breakfast, Xavier smiled at his wife and said, “I arranged for His Mercy Wellness Spa massage therapists to come here to pamper you guys.” Avery smiled sweetly at her husband and thanked him.
At that moment, Butler Blake indicated that the massage therapists had arrived. The ladies were over the moon. Caia led the ladies to the room which had massage tables and other spa equipment. After the massage, the ladies felt rejuvenated and relaxed.
Around 2 pm, the best stylist team arrived at the Taylor mansion. They were ushered to the salon. Shortly afterwards, His Own Image Boutique boss, Miss Joy Dube, arrived with her assistants carrying stunning custom-made gowns.
At 5 pm, Xavier hugged his wife’s waist and walked to the driveway, followed by the Shelton couple. Standing in the driveway was the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach S650 Pullman.
Xavier opened the passenger door for his wife, then he put a hand on the car roof to protect his wife. Then he walked to the driver’s side.
After the Shelton couple was seated comfortably in the car, Xavier drove the car to His Grace Hotel.
Mr Taylor Senior and his daughter-in-law, Caroline, were sitting in his eldest son’s car. John Taylor was driving a luxurious black Rolls Royce Phantom. John followed his son’s car to the hotel.
Xavier bought the black Bugatti La Voiture Noire car for his uncle as a wedding gift. Uncle Keith got in the car with his wife, then he followed his brother’s car.
The Shelton brothers refused to go with their parents. Xavier asked Wayne to drive them to the venue. He told them to choose any car from the showroom. They were over the moon. They chose the luxurious yellow Lamborghini.
Mr Taylor Senior’s brothers took their wives in a glamourous Rolls Royce Ghost.
The Ford family was driving the luxurious Bentley. The convoy of cars was eye-catching, but the black Bugatti La Voiture Noire was the showstopper.
The Taylor family had invited influential people and their business partners to the Gala. His Grace Hotel conference room was lavishly decorated.
The luxurious cars made their way to His Grace Hotel parking lot. Ladies wearing gorgeous custom-made gowns and the gentlemen wearing custom-made suits got out of their cars, then they walked gracefully towards the opulent hotel.
The reporters were waiting to see the Taylor family, especially the Taylor family heir because he was low-key. They heard that he was the most handsome man in the country.
However, no one had seen him before because he had never been interviewed or been on television before.
Mr Martins and his family were already there. August refused to sit at the Taylor family’s main table because he was scared that his wife, Elizabeth, would embarrass his precious daughter. He asked his best friend, John Taylor, to arrange a table for the Martins family to be far from the Taylor family’s main table.
At that moment, Mr Brad Shelton and his wife, Mia Shelton walked into the venue. Lily was surprised when she saw the Shelton couple. She looked at her aunt and said, “I didn’t know that the Shelton Group was the Taylor Group business partner.”
Aunt Elizabeth nodded her head and replied, “There is no other explanation for them being here. Since Mrs Shelton was your late mother’s best friend, please go and greet them later. Try to mend your relationship.”
Lily nodded her head in agreement. Aunt Mia used to love her as her daughter. Their relationship became sour after her parents’ funeral. After the funeral, she regretted embarrassing Avery at her parents’ funeral service.
People she held dear in her heart turned their backs on her. Even the Prince family stopped talking to her. They just ignored her. She felt so lonely after her parents’ passing.
A few minutes later, Mr John Taylor, his wife, Caroline Taylor, their uncles, and their wives entered the venue. The Ford family followed behind them. Their daughter, Caia Ford was stunning in a red custom-made gown.
Shortly afterwards, Keith and his wife, Bridgette Taylor, walked into the venue hand in hand. They were such a beautiful couple, and they were wearing matching clothes. Elizabeth was stunned when she saw Bridgette with the Taylor family.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
When the Taylor family heir, Xavier Taylor, walked into the venue, every head turned and looked at him in awe. He exuded elegance and nobility. He was wearing a custom-made navy blue suit and red tie.
Young ladies and old women were stunned by his handsomeness and his strong presence. They became excited because they had never seen anyone so handsome.
Tiffany held her father’s arm and asked, “Who is that handsome young man?” Her father smiled and replied, “Didn’t I tell you to chase the Taylor family heir, Xavier Taylor, but you turned me down? I told you that he is handsome as a painting.”
Tiffany’s heart was beating so fast. She fell in love with Xavier at first sight. She wished she had listened to her father’s words. Lily was in the same boat. Her heart was beating uncontrollably against her chest. She had butterflies in her stomach.
At that moment, Grandpa Taylor walked into the venue holding Avery’s arm. The guests became excited when they saw Mr Taylor senior. However, they were blown away by the beautifulness of the young lady beside Mr Taylor senior.
The young lady was breathtakingly beautiful. She was smiling at Mr Taylor senior, and her smile was dazzling.
Avery was wearing a stunning blue custom-made gown. It showed her curvaceous body and slim figure. Her movements were elegant and graceful.
Avery’s long chestnut brown hair was cascading gracefully over her shoulders. Her make-up was exquisite and impeccable. She was breathtakingly beautiful. The guests looked at Avery with undisguised admiration in their eyes.
When Elizabeth saw Avery with Mr Taylor Senior she became angry and asked, “What is she doing here?”
Lily was so jealous when she saw Avery with the wealthiest family in the country and said, “Auntie, I think Avery was so disappointed after she was dumped by Jordan Bennet, then she decided to date that old man.”
Her Uncle looked at her coldly and reprimanded her, “Lily, stop spouting nonsense. No one will think you are mute because you don’t speak.”
Lily pouted her mouth and looked at her aunt with aggrieved eyes. Elizabeth looked at her husband with disdain and disgust in her eyes and said, “August, Lily is not wrong. Your precious daughter has no shame.
After she was dumped by Jordan, she became Mr Taylor’s mistress. She is just a gold digger.” August looked at his wife coldly and replied, “She took after you, Elizabeth. Didn’t you marry me because of my wealth?”
Elizabeth felt humiliated and embarrassed, but she didn’t refute her husband’s words. She knew deep in her heart that she married her husband not because of love but because her husband was her ticket to a soft life.
