Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Erin was indeed very smart and immediately guessed Mr. McDaniel's intentions. She excitedly laughed, "Grandpa, you intend to use this banquet to invite Julien over. This way, we will have a chance to meet him and improve our two families' relationship. We won't be as helpless as we are now, unable to even meet Julien."

"You're right. That's exactly what I mean," Mr. McDaniel smiled proudly at his granddaughter.

In his opinion, his granddaughter was outstanding in every aspect.

Clay frowned at this moment. "Dad, what if Julien doesn't attend the banquet? Then we still won't be able to see him, will we?"

As soon as this question was raised, Erin became nervous as well. "Yes, Grandpa. What if Julien really doesn't come? I haven't seen him for almost seven years..."

"Erin, don't worry. I will make sure you see Julien." Mr. McDaniel narrowed his sharp and shrewd eyes.

Erin's eyes lit up. "Grandpa, do you have an idea?"

Mr. McDaniel nodded. "Yes, Julien will definitely come. In order to promote the relationship between you and Julien, I need you to do something, which may require you to make some sacrifices, but in order to be with Julien and to make the McDaniel family become in-laws with the Flint family, you must make such sacrifices. Erin, do you understand?" He looked at his granddaughter.

Clay and Glenda looked at Mr. McDaniel and then at Erin, feeling completely lost.

"Dad, what do you want Erin to do? Please don't ask her to do anything rash," Clay said.

"Yes, Dad," Glenda chimed in.

The couple were worried about their beloved daughter, but neither Mr. McDaniel nor Erin paid them any attention.

Erin only had her grandfather and the words he had just said in her mind.

She was smarter than her parents and naturally understood the meaning behind her grandfather's words and what he wanted her to sacrifice. Her heart beat faster with excitement.

"I understand, Grandpa. Don't worry, I'll succeed." Erin responded seriously. She clasped her hands together on her knees, suppressing her excitement.

Upon realizing that she understood his intentions, Mr. McDaniel smiled with satisfaction, "You are indeed my granddaughter. Well then. It's getting late. Let's go for dinner."

"Okay." Erin stood up, held Mr. McDaniel's arms, and the two of them walked intimately towards the dining room.

As for Clay and Glenda, they were left behind, completely forgotten.

The couple stood up and watched the two of them disappear from sight, then looked at each other.

Glenda frowned with a worried look on her face. "Darling, what did they mean by saying that? Do you understand?"

"No," Clay shook his head and said honestly.

In this family, he was very self-aware and knew that his intelligence was inferior to that of Mr. McDaniel and Erin. Many times, Erin instantly understood Mr. McDaniel's words, while he had to think for a long time.

Because of this, Mr. McDaniel and Erin would always finish their conversation without explaining the details to him.

Over time, he got used to it.

As long as Mr. McDaniel and Erin were confident about their plan, he would believe in them.

"Let's go for dinner too." Clay held Glenda's hand.

But Glenda still couldn't rest assured. "I hope your father and Erin won't mess things up too much. The situation is already bad, and it will be troublesome if it gets worse."

"It won't happen." Clay nodded with assurance.

Hearing him say this, Glenda forced a smile and stopped saying more.

At the dinner table, Erin and Mr. McDaniel engaged in animated conversation, with laughter filling the air.

They probably felt that after the banquet, everything could be resolved. Therefore, the atmosphere in their family became particularly relaxed, without the initial worry and tension about Julien's alienation from them.

During the meal, Erin learned about some things that had happened in recent years from Mr. McDaniel and parents.

Now she understood more clearly about the emotional entanglement between Julien and Sydney.

But she still held the belief that Julien's reunion with Sydney was not driven by love, but rather by Sydney having some sort of leverage over him, leaving him with no choice but to reconcile with her. Not only her, but Mr. McDaniel and her parents also thought the same.

In their opinion, Sydney lacked a powerful family background and was merely an orphan who did not know the identity of her biological parents. They found it hard to believe that Julien could be genuinely attracted to her.

In short, they believed that as long as Julien wasn't sincerely in love with Sydney and was only with her because he had to, they would find a way to help him break free from Sydney's control.

By then, Julien would definitely be grateful to them.

After dinner, Erin was preparing to return to her room.

Just as she was about to go upstairs, Glenda suddenly held her back. "Erin."

"What's wrong, Mom?" Erin turned around and looked at Glenda with a cute, puzzled face.

Glenda furrowed her brows, her face filled with worry. "Erin, I just want to tell you that apart from Sydney being a hindrance, there is also a rich young lady from the Ward family who is trying to win over Julien." "The young lady from the Ward family? Do you mean the one owning a seafood business?" Erin asked.

"Yes." Glenda nodded. "Their business has been experiencing a recent decline, and they have been seeking opportunities to connect with more influential families. Their attention is now focused on Julien. Rumor has it that they have been inquiring about acquiring an invitation letter for the upcoming commercial banquet, which Julian has confirmed he will attend. While the true importance of this event for Julien remains unknown, the Ward family has caught wind of it and is making frantic efforts to obtain an invitation letter in order to introduce their daughter to Julien."

Upon hearing this, Erin sneered, "That girl, who smells like seaweed, thinks she's worthy of Juien? No way! Mom, did they manage to get the invitation letter?"

"Yes, they did." Glenda nodded. "They apparently traded a dock usage deadline with someone else for the invitation letter."

"What?" Erin's face immediately darkened. "I can't believe they actually succeeded in obtaining it. Now they will have access to approach Julien. This is not good. Sydney is already a hurdle, and we absolutely cannot afford to have another one. Mom, do we possess an invitation letter for the event?"

"No, we don't," Glenda said, looking unhappy. "The host of this commercial banquet didn't invite our family. For one, our industries have no relation to theirs, so there's no point in inviting us. Secondly, our family status is not comparable to theirs, causing them to hold a lower opinion of us and thus exclude us from the guest list."

"Are you kidding me? Don't they know that my grandpa was Julien's mentor? They should have invited us based on that alone," Erin said through gritted teeth.

"While their family may not be on par with the Flint family, they don't need to invite us just to please Julien. Moreover, Julien won't hold any grudges against them for such a trivial matter. After all, it's their prerogative to invite whomever they want."

"In that case, we won't be able to attend the banquet and stop the Ward family?" Erin's expression twisted with anger, making her normally cute, doll-like face look like a puppet from a horror movie.
