Chapter 20 Sisters Get Married Easily, Good_1
Glancing at her sharply, Glades Horne paid her no mind. He moved past her to the elder lady’s side, where he and Julia Bluen sat on either side of her.
Gian Horne and his wife could sense something unusual from his actions. After exchanging glances, they didn’t ask any questions, waiting instead for what would come next.
"Uncle Ying, is dinner not ready yet?" asked Glades Horne in a deep voice. His first question was about the meal. It was getting late, and he was worried Julia might be hungry.
Uncle Ying hurried out from the dining room, smiling as he responded, "Young Master Horne, it’s just been prepared."
Glades Horne turned to look at Julia across from him, speaking gently, "Julia, help Grandma inside." After he finished speaking, he stood up first, helped the elder lady to her feet, and together with Julia, guided her to the main seat at the head of the dining table.
Everyone was stunned, feeling that Glades’s behavior was somewhat odd.
Soon, everyone was seated at the long dining table.
"Big brother, what is going on here?" Adele Horne, seeing Julia sit down so nonchalantly, was filled with such fury that she burst out, questioning Julia loudly.
Mila Anderson also spoke up, slightly displeased, "Glades, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" After Ruby’s escape from her wedding the previous day, Glades had angrily refused the Bluen family’s apologies. This led everyone to believe he would despise the Bluen family. Yet, to their surprise, just one night later, Glades was still allowing the Bluen family’s second young miss to sit here.
"Who knows if the Bluen sisters gave Young Master Horne a love potion, or if Young Master Horne owed them from a past life, how..." Orlando Evans couldn’t suppress her jealousy toward the Bluen sisters and mumbled. However, her grumbling died in her throat under the icy stare of James Horne, the Horne family’s fourth son.
James was the son of Gian Horne’s concubine, Pheobe Rogers. Pheobe was not permitted to live with the Horne family; only James had been brought back to be raised in the Horne residence. He was, however, barred from any involvement in the family’s enterprises. This was stipulated in an agreement signed with Pheobe Rogers when the Horne family allowed James to be formally acknowledged and return to the family. Due to being born out of wedlock, James had developed a somewhat cold and unpredictable personality.
