Chapter 898: HIS THOUGHTFUL WIFE
Even before the party ended, the person, who took the incomplete video of Ingrid's father talking bad about Cayenne, received an official letter of attorney from Stefan's lawyer. Tristan even came to the party, not intending to crash it, but the party still turned a little bit sullen when the guests heard the reason for his visit.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Montefalco, I'm bound by an order. You know my boss," Tristan told Ingrid when he came to their house. "You know that he has no intention of crashing your son's birthday party, we just need your guests to cooperate as well as your father. If not, you know very well what might happen."
Ingrid took a deep breath and sighed. She knew that Stefan was a troublesome person to stifle with – as far as his family concerns him. If it was a business issue, it wouldn't even escalate to this level. "Go ahead. You can do whatever you want. I'll give you thirty minutes."
"There's no need for that. Ten minutes would be enough."
"If you say so," Ingrid retorted and sat on the couch with her son. She didn't care about the guests anymore. All she cared about was her father who got involved in this matter. "Just tell them the truth of what you said in the video, Dad."
Tristan immediately recorded the statement of Ingrid's father about the latest video that one of the guests had uploaded on social media. Along with him, three bodyguards and Stefan's lawyer also joined in collecting pieces of evidence to speed up the process.
"Why am I going to be penalized when I just uploaded the truth of what Ingrid and her father talked about earlier?" retorted Mr. Sayo, the person who uploaded the video. "It was true that he talked negatively about Mrs. Dumrique. Aside from that, it wasn't my intention to ruin her name."
"So, what was your purpose for doing such a thing?" Rey asked and with his towering height, he looked even more intimidating as he looked down on the man. "If it wasn't your intention to ruin her name, whose name were you planning to ruin by spreading the video?
I thought you are a family friend which was the reason you got invited to attend this party?" Then, he narrowed his eyes at the man as if he discovered something. "Oh, no! Are you, by any chance, a spy? An enemy? Were you trying to befriend the people here so you could find something about them and spread it? Jesus!
You're evil!"
"I'm not!" screamed Mr. Sayo with his red face. "Don't put words in my mouth! I'm not that kind of person!"
"So, your daughter gave her brother two gifts?" Don Roberto Montefalco asked the obvious. "What's the other one?"
"Jay's wearing the other gift now. It's the jade bangle," Reuben told his father which stunned everyone.
Ever since they arrived, including the guests, they already saw the jade bangle that the little celebrant was wearing. They all had one thing in mind – very expensive. They also thought that it was something that the couple bought for their son. They didn't expect that it was Cayenne Dumrique's gift.
"Are you sure?" Ingrid's father asked to make sure that he wasn't being played.
"You can ask our helpers. We've all seen Cayenne put on the bangle to Jay," Ingrid retorted before turning around to bring her son to the play area for the kids. She opened the gift for him and thought it would be another expensive item. The first thing that Ingrid pulled out was a little hoodie. Next were three shirts followed by a pair of shoes, a pajama, and last was a letter.
It was typewritten with Cayenne's name signed at the bottom.
"I wish you a happy birthday, my dear little brother and I hope that we will have the chance to go out together. If you ever need help, I will always be here. I know that your parents would be able to buy these things for you, but I wanted to give you a little something that will remind you of me. I hope you will like them, though you don't have any choice since you can't choose them now.
Anyway, next time, let's go shopping together. I'll get you something of your choice. - Love, Yenyen"
Since Ingrid read the letter aloud, everyone heard Cayenne's words.
In truth, it was something that Stefan made up to retaliate against Ingrid's family. He wanted to show them that his wife was the most thoughtful person.
[They must be feeling apologetic now.] Stefan thought while tapping his fingers on his knee. He was already on his way to pick up his wife when he received Tristan's report and he was beaming with a bright smile upon hearing the whole event. This was what he wanted. He wanted them to feel like owing Cayenne something.
