Reece reassured Cristina, telling her that the pregnancy was fake, just a ploy Julissa used to get attention.
“Reece, I really opened my eyes. I have never seen such a morally corrupt woman before!”
At this moment, Cristina’s heart was blooming with joy.
Julissa brought this upon herself, serves her right!
“What are you going to do now?”
“Family–banquet,” Reece helped Cristina peel apples and gently said, “Let her explain to her grandfather herself.”
Family banquet?
The Diaz family had strict rules, and Julissa’s actions were sure to anger Dillan.
Wasn’t it a good opportunity for her to show off at that time?
Thinking about this, Cristina couldn’t help but speak up: “Reece, can you take me to the family dinner tonight?”
Reece paused slightly at his fingertips.
Over the years, the main reason why he and Cristina couldn’t get married was largely due to his grandfather’s opposition.
Grandfather seemed to have a great hostility towards the Hurley family, so he never agreed to let Cristina into their home.

“Grandpa has always liked Julisss, mainly because of what happened with Harvest hack then, but this time it just happened to let him wes Julissa’s true colors, and also let me and Grandpa get in touch a bit. I believe Grandpa will have his own judgment and will not be deceived by someone like Julissa again”
Cristina’s words did make some sense.
When Reece hesitated. Cristina continued, “Grandpa is getting old after all, it’s understandable that he might mistake someone, but I believe he will understand my intentions.”
“Just like you,” Cristina lightly held Reece’s hand. “That woman tried so hard to keep you by her side, but in the end, you still turned to me. right?”
Reece relaxed his expression and finally nodded.
This may have been the best time for Cristina to come in.
The Diaz family banquet was held at the place where the old man lived, not at the Diaz’s mansion, but at the house where Dillan lived when he was young.
This place was remote, originally a development area of Archdale, but Dillan liked it here, so he simply bought this piece of land.
All the surrounding buildings were demolished, leaving only this mansion.
The Diaz family’s business could be seen from where Dillan lived.

the entire Archdale.
Recce and Cristina went together, while Julissa was just driven over by the Diaz family’s driver.
There were not many people at the family banquet, besides the old master, there was only Courtney Diaz, who had been accompanying the old master.
Courtney was the adopted daughter of the Diaz family, and she stayed with the Diaz Group because of her extraordinary talent for reading
stones.
Because she was very fond of the old man, she decided to call herself his granddaughter and stayed by his side.
Julissa arrived first, and Courtney stood at the door watching for a long time. As soon as she saw Julissa, she eagerly ran over.
“Sis!” Courtney, as always, liked to stick to Julissa. “It’s been so long, missed you so much.”
“I miss you too.”
Reece’s sister, in stark contrast to him, was also raised in a large. family, but Courtney was more like a warm–hearted typical family girl. “Humph, you don’t come to see me when you miss me.” Courtney pouted in grievance, but her eyes lit up instantly as they landed on Julissa’s belly, “Sister–in–law, I heard you’re pregnant? Grandpa is thrilled!”
Upon hearing this, Julissa felt a bit uneasy.
Reece’s grandfather has been kind to her over the years, and he especially hopes that they can have a child of their own.

This mistake will surely make Grandpa especially sad
Julissa opened her mouth, intending to say some explanatory words, when Reece’s car had already arrived.
She could never have imagined that Cristina would also show up at tonight’s family dinner.
Julissa didn’t want to see Cristina and Recce, so she impatiently went in with Courtney first.
Since starting the divorce process, Julissa hasn’t seen her grandfather for a long time.
Initially, he insisted on keeping Julissa and gave her Mrs. Diaz’s position. Although the outcome is not ideal now, she is still very grateful to her grandfather in her heart.
Dillan saw Julissa, and the smile on his face couldn’t be suppressed. He quickly got up from his seat and invited Julissa to sit beside him.
“Grandpa, how have you been feeling lately?”
Dillan’s hair had turned completely white, but his body was still strong. After years of ups and downs in the business world, even though he was getting old, he still exuded dignity and authority.
