Chapter 483 - The Mayer Family And The Irwan Family

Lilia looked at Florence's curious gaze and smiled slightly. As they were about to speak, the door to the room was knocked.

Axel then appeared at the door with Mellisa. "Big Master, Mrs. Florence, Miss Mellisa has come with me!"

Mellisa appeared just in time, Florence's old eyes were immediately attracted to her. The old woman didn't ask Lilia anymore about her marriage.

Caleb waved at Mellisa and introduced her with a warm laugh. "Mellisa, let me introduce you. This is the Iron Lady of the Ricardo family that I once told you. Do you still remember? During the war, her family gave their support and this hero fought alongside me by becoming the first female pilot to fly a fighter jet!"

His voice was loud and strong.

Even though they had lived through tragic and difficult years before, Caleb spoke of this as if it was just yesterday. His tone was still full of admiration for Florence.

Being able to lend a hand and help in the era of crisis and chaos was simply amazing. No wonder Caleb's admiration for Florence was not a level that ordinary people could attain.

Even Lilia couldn't help but stare in awe.

Apart from Alfred, this old grandmother deserved respect.

At this time, Mellisa immediately bowed slightly towards her and said, "Mrs. Florence, hello, I am Mellisa. I have heard my grandfather talk about you for a long time. Grandfather always told me that you were a heroine."

Mellisa's words sounded polite and calm, though she didn't quite mimic her grandfather's character.

Florence laughed and waved her hand softly. "Don't listen to your grandfather, he likes to exaggerate his story. Really, my services are not comparable to your grandfather. Your grandfather was indeed a humble person. He went to war as a general and brought victory, whereas I was only in charge of logistics to the front lines..."

Her humble attitude made the atmosphere in the living room much more harmonious.

After that, Florence didn't touch on the past anymore. She chatted with Caleb again. Seeing that it was almost time for the opening of the banquet, the guest left this special room.

The chair for the Iron Lady was arranged next to the main table in the center of the banquet hall. When Alfred helped her to her seat, everyone at the table stood up and greeted her respectfully. "Madame Florence, it is an honor to meet you."

"Mrs. Florence, good evening!"

In this scene, Lilia and Mellisa had the same impression.

This Iron Lady from Yogyakarta could be considered a guest of honor by the Mayer family, and her status was quite high.

As Lilia and Mellisa sat at the main table, Janice and Richard were sitting across from them and staring at them. Even though they didn't speak, their eyes were very complicated.

At the main table today, the Mayer family and the Irwan family sat together, but Randel and his family members were absent.

Simon Irwan was sitting beside Caleb, and the atmosphere between the two old men was somewhat tense.

Perhaps, this position was unpleasant for both of them. It could even be said that they were disgusted with each other.

Erudites like the Irwan family couldn't understand the violent and disciplined way that was ingrained in the Mayer family.

The two elders sat side by side in the main seat, but they tried not to get involved with each other. After occasionally exchanging glances, the two of them looked away and snorted coldly.

Simon turned his head and happened to see Lilia and Mellisa.

He paused for a moment, his brows relaxed as he muttered in a pleasant tone, "Kids, your grandfather here has been busy with his work all this time, so he didn't have time to see you. How are you?"

Lilia and Mellisa nodded at the same time. "Very good."

Simon's attitude was very kind, in contrast to Richard and his wife, he looked at his two grandchildren with great affection.

Regardless of whether this was his mask or his true self, Caleb still took it as the most laughable hypocrisy of the day.

Before the banquet began, Caleb broke the silence on the table by looking at Simon and scoffing. "You're asking if the two girls are okay? Do you really care about them or do you just want to make a small chat?"

Caleb's tone was really impolite and full of irony.

This situation instantly made Simon's expression bad. He narrowed his eyes, squeezed the corners of his mouth, and then replied after half a second, "What do you mean, old fart! Of course I care about my grandchildren. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the story!"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Caleb repeated aggressively. Then he replied with a serious face, "Simon, I can guarantee that there is nothing I don't know about the mess in your family. Are you embarrassed to discuss it with outsiders? Abandoning a granddaughter who has the blood of the Mayer family for years and prefers cunning outsiders, is this still nonsense?"

"What happened to the noble attitude of the Irwan family? If only it wasn't for the Mayer family, these two would've lived without understanding the superiority of their blood. Are you still planning to have Lilia and Mellisa call you grandpa after your family's mistreatment of them?" He added with rage.

Simon's face was red from Caleb's straightforward words. He was panting and his eyes were dyed in red. "Caleb, watch your mouth! You question the attitude of the Irwan family, but isn't this an internal problem for my family?"

"You question whether I am ashamed to discuss it with outsiders, but does your family have no secrets? We are all trying to fix this problem by ourselves because we believe that nothing can shake the foundations of our family. If you don't know anything, don't ever speak carelessly!" The old man continued fiercely.

The two granddaughters were seen sitting side by side while continuing to bow their heads, while their grandfathers continued to argue fiercely. The juniors beside them could only scratch the back of their head in frustration and didn't dare to say anything. Even Stefani turned a blind eye to this incident and her presence was not felt at all.

Seeing Dennis approaching their table, Richard couldn't help reminding him from the side. "Dad, don't make a fuss. Lots of people are watching."

Hearing this, Simon and Caleb looked at him together and said in unison, "Blame this old man for being stubborn!"

Richard could only touch his nose awkwardly.

Luckily, these two elders didn't face each other anymore. They looked away from each other and sulked over tea.

This time, Dennis walked behind Lilia and Mellisa. He held the back of the chair with both hands and said with a smile, "Lilia, Mellisa, are you ready? We will start the banquet in a moment. We all want to introduce you to everyone!"

"Uncle, please tell them more about Lilia, many people already know me, so I'm fine."

Mellisa turned her head to see Dennis behind her, she wanted Lilia to get more attention.

The biggest reveal in this banquet would be introducing Lilia as the granddaughter of the Mayer Family.

"Okay, no problem. Uncle will definitely make sure everyone gets to know Lilia tonight. Let's see who dares to underestimate our girls after this!"

Dennis' eyes conveyed seriousness and anger. During this period, the Mayer family basically paid attention to the entertainment industry.

The statements on the Internet speculating about Lilia were ridiculous.

What kind of support did the Mayer family need?
