Chapter 439: Chapter 442: Surge of the Dark Tide (2)

Emma Shaw saw David Redington take his seat and was the first to start nitpicking.

"Ethan doesn't know better, but Emily should at least have planned things properly. This banquet is just ridiculous! What's with all these random people being allowed inside?"

As she said this, she purposefully glared at Rowena Gray, who was sitting right across from her.

The disdain in her eyes was barely concealed.

From the moment she had sat down, she had looked down on Rowena, who was constantly trying to curry favor with her uncle.

Moreover, the Gray family had always been at odds with her own.

"Emma, just keep quiet!"

Under the table, Dominic Taylor tugged at Emma's sleeve.

"This is the Lucas family's banquet, not the Taylor's. Ethan and Emily must have had their reasons for arranging it this way."

"I know it's the Lucas family's banquet… but at the very least, I'm Ethan's aunt and Emily's sister-in-law!"

Emma's temper flared, and her voice gradually got louder.
