Chapter 1289 Recordings of Birthday Wishes
“Well, you said it yourself.” Oscar didn’t seem pleased.
He believed in keeping one’s word and actions consistent. Changing one’s mind like this wasn’t the right way to do things; it lacked integrity.
Seeing Oscar’s displeasure, Sonia dared not refuse anymore and said, “I’ll do it, Old Mr. Ryker. Please don’t be upset.
“Woof! Woof!”
Everyone erupted in laughter as Sonia’s face turned beet red, wanting nothing more than to bury herself.
“Emmeline, I didn’t know you were hiding such talents.” Oscar turned to Emmeline. “That said, I like your role. We can write together whenever you’re free.”
“I dare not, Grandfather.” Emmeline smiled. “I’ve merely adopted the alias of Aurora Winters for entertainment and participated in a few competitions. I honestly didn’t think I’d win any of them. It was purely by chance.”
“Don’t be so modest!” Oscar was delighted. “Your achievements bring honor to the family. It reflects well on me as well.”
“Thank you for your encouragement, Grandfather!” Emmeline replied happily.
Abel held Emmeline’s hand with suppressed ecstasy and said, “How dare you keep this from your husband? You better be ready for what I’ll do-” To you tonight.
Emmeline hurriedly covered her husband’s mouth, not letting him finish his words. “There are a bunch of people around!” she reprimanded in a whisper.
So, Abel could only whisper in her ear, “Once we’re home tonight…”
Emmeline blushed.
Oscar was delighted, squinting his eyes as he chuckled and nodded repeatedly.
Next came the Harrowgate family members, who were also present at the gathering. They had met with Old Mr. Ryker in the hall earlier, and their gift had been listed on the gift registry in advance, ensuring everything was in order.
Following this pattern, most of the video greetings played out. Some videos even came from overseas, containing gifts and well-wishes, but the senders themselves were absent. For such cases, the Ryker family would send acknowledgments afterward, as there was no formal. reception for these guests.
Michaela and Sonia sat together, their hearts pounding. With each video played, they couldn’t help but hold their breath.
They had no idea where their USB drive was in the queue, as it could have been copied to any position. Perhaps the next one would be theirs.
After four or five more video greetings, the moment they had been waiting for finally arrived -their video greeting started playing!
