The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer) novel Chapter 1021

Compared to the average elderly man, Montgomery certainly looked much more impressive.

Dressed in a red formalwear, he sat on a mahogany round-backed armchair.

The descendants of the Wilson family, both elders and juniors, were sitting at a table with Montgomery. Each one of them kept their heads down, not daring to utter a single word.

Only when Friedrich brought Leonard's family to their table did the serious atmosphere lighten up a bit.

“Dad, Leonard's family has arrived.”

Montgomery, seated in the round chair, lifted his eyelids to glance at Leonard and the others.

Leonard quickly stepped forward, respectfully placing a gift box on the table.

“Mr. Montgomery, this is a small token of our family's appreciation. Please accept it.”

Montgomery hummed in agreement without saying a word.

His eldest daughter-in-law, Mabel Zeidler, who was sitting next to him, reached out to take the box and opened it in front of everyone.

The defining characteristic of Montgomery was his concern for maintaining a good reputation.

The reason he was able to grow the second branch of the Wilson family to such an extent today was that Montgomery didn't like to be at the mercy of others, nor did he enjoy lagging behind.

So, whatever others had, his family must have it too!

If others were wealthy, then the Wilson family must be wealthier!

Leonard was not from the same branch, but at this time, he was considering returning to acknowledge his ancestry. He respectfully brought gifts for his uncle.

In such a prestigious event, Montgomery naturally wanted everyone to clearly see what Leonard had actually gifted.

After opening the box, a peach-pink coral jade antique statue was revealed inside.

The antique statue held a money bag in its left hand and an elegant walking cane in its right.

With kind eyes and a gentle face, it had a large head and a round belly.

A group of women started chattering away again.

Even though the gifts were clearly intended for Montgomery, it was as if they were meant for them. Yet, they still weren't satisfied, constantly complaining and grumbling.

“All right. Since Mr. Montgomery hasn't said a word, what are you all chattering about here?”

Friedrich glared at those women, and they immediately quieted down.

After arranging seats for Leonard and his family, the family feast began just in time.

At Montgomery's signal, a member of the Wilson family walked to the side and bellowed out, “Let the feast begin!”

With the announcement of the feast, Jennifer, who was already famished, picked up her cutleries, ready to start serving herself.

After all, she was pregnant. Snacking in the car just didn't satisfy her hunger.

She only realized when she picked up her cutleries that everyone else at the table was looking at her with a strange expression.
