Chapter 194
Whatever clothes or the brand of shoes that she wore, the sales of the apparel with similar designs would increase by at least 30 percent the next day.
This was who she was. Even though it had been so many years, she was still a woman of nobility. It was just that she didn't want to flaunt it.
"Old Mr. Gulliford, can I not attend the banquet tonight?" Jessica questioned softly in the restaurant.
To be honest, after it had been so many years, she didn't want to be on those occasions anymore.
After all, the people had changed even though everything else had remained the same. The Queen family, including her most respectable mother, was never going to appear in any banquet anymore. "No." Maximilian was a man of a few words. He never wanted to speak in front of a woman like her.
"Jessica, you have never been to an occasion like this, right? After all, with your status, it's hard for you to get in." Leah teased.
Even though she had an innocent look on her face,
she was intentionally trying to insult Jessica with her words.
"If it's not for your connection with the Gulliford family, I'm afraid that you would never have the chance to attend the banquet of the upper class. So I advise you to go. It's good to gain some experience!" Leah continued. Jessica couldn't help but let out a laugh after she heard what Leah said. However, she didn't bother to respond to the latter.
"Shut up!" Trevor demanded.
He stared at Leah in disdain. The trace of coldness was flashing through his gaze.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
When his wife was already attending banquets, Leah was still studying overseas. How dare she insult his wife?
"Trevor, I have no ill will! I'm merely stating a fact!" Leah murmured and pouted her lips. She felt wronged.
"You still want your tongue, right?" Trevor asked in a cold tone of voice.
Leah dared not to speak, she lowered her head and ate in silence.
"That's enough! Everyone is going tonight! And don't you all dare to embarrass me! Or else, you'll be kicked out of the Gulliford family mansion!" Maximilian raged.
He put down his cutlery heavily, then turned away and left. Anyone could tell that it was obvious that Maximilian was aiming toward Jessica.
Jessica went into silence and continued to eat. She was lost in thought.
She was not afraid of attending the banquet, she was just afraid of the things and people at the banquet.
She knew that those people who previously attempted to curry her favor and toasted her glass were going to ignore her tonight.
With time, everything changes!
She just didn't want to go, but it did not mean that she couldn't go nor she would embarrass people if she went.
Trevor stared at Jessica who was
eating with her head lowered. Hot
furrowed his brows then picked up a piece of cauliflower with his fork and placed it on her plate.
He knew that she likes cauliflower.
Jessica's hand that was holding her fork stopped mid-air when she looked at the piece of cauliflower on her plate.
She liked cauliflower, yet no one knew that except for her mother.
She rarely had cauliflower when she

was outside or when there were many people. She only had it when she was alone or when her close
relatives were there. Conten?
This was because she was made fun of by her friend when she was young for liking to eat cauliflower.
Her mother would respect her liking and cook her cauliflower. As for Melissa and Jonathan, they didn't bother to care about what she likes to eat.
"Do you not like cauliflower?" Trevor asked softly.
He was trying to cover his action.
He wanted to let herthink that he knew nothing
about her.
"No. I don't." Jessica shook her head.
So it was merely a coincidence, she thought to herself.
Trevor did not say anything. He then picked up a piece of cauliflower and took a big bite.
"You like cauliflower?" Jessica looked at Trevor and questioned.
A flicker of joy flashed through her eyes.
There was rarely anyone that she knew who liked cauliflower.
"Yes! I like it. I like it a lot." Trevor nodded then picked up another piece of cauliflower and put it in his mouth.
He didn't like the taste of cauliflower at first, however, when he was trying to pursue her, he had been eating lot of cauliflower to take her fancy And eventually, he got used to the taste of cauliflower and didn't feel like it tasted as bad anymore.
