Glamour and Sass: A Rejected Bride's Revenge-Chapter 79: Thank you, Daddy

Hearing Emma call him ‘Daddy’, Steven was taken aback.

Were kids these days really this forward? They called anyone they met ‘Daddy’?

Steven gave Ethan a puzzled look, to which Ethan quickly explained, "Some kids thank those who give them gifts by calling them their sugar daddy, so..."

Thus, she would give the ‘Daddy’ title to whoever gave her more gifts.

In the past, Steven would never spend money for such a reason, and he would even dislike such flattering tactics.

But somehow, hearing Emma on the screen call him dad made his heart soften quite a bit. Moreover, he had the urge to hear it more.

But then someone started sending more gifts.

Thinking about what Ethan said about how whoever sent her more gifts would be called her dad, he felt a little uncomfortable. Thus, he quickly moved his fingers, sending out more and more carnival gifts.

Ethan was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw.

Emma was extremely happy; seeing all these gifts meant Steven liked her a lot.

"Thank you, Daddy!"

Steven felt elated.

After a few more matches against online users, she ended her live broadcast.

After ending it, she looked at Ethan’s account, which was firmly in first place on the gift leaderboards. She felt overjoyed.

These were all from Steven.

However, looking at the second place, "Autumn Leaves," she felt a bit sad.

"Autumn Leaves" had left the live room quietly at some point, and he was the first to encourage her upon entering. She realized she had forgotten about him.

Thinking of this, she sent a private message to "Autumn Leaves."

[Grandpa Autumn Leaves, this is Emma. Could you add me on WeChat? That way, we can play chess together anytime.]

In truth, Thomas had left the live stream after seeing Emma’s appearance. He felt like her eyes were familiar, which made him somewhat excited. After having stared at his phone for too long, his body couldn’t take it anymore.

Unexpectedly, she had sent him a private message.

He never added strangers on WeChat, but he agreed after recalling those familiar eyes.

[Sure.]

After they added each other on WeChat, Emma’s message quickly arrived.

[Grandpa Autumn Leaves, how should I address you?] ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Thomas thought for a moment.

[My last name is Whitmore, so you can call me Grandpa Whitmore.]

[My name is Emma, and you can just call me Emma. But I’ve never met my grandfather; I only have a really bad grandpa. Can I call you Grandpa from now on?]

[I want to have a good grandpa for myself.]

Thomas couldn’t help but laugh; the way this kid’s mind worked was really unique.

[Okay.]

[That’s great, Grandpa Whitmore~]

The next morning, Cecilia received a call from Elena, saying she had something important to discuss today, and she prompted Cecilia to rush over.

Upon arriving at Elena’s house, Cecilia found a graceful woman seated on the couch.

The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with fair skin and a graceful demeanor.

Elena rose to introduce them.

"This is my granddaughter I mentioned before, Cecilia. Cecilia, this is my brother’s granddaughter, Diana Walton. In terms of relationships, you two should be cousins."

Diana was a bit surprised looking at Cecilia. This sister, whom she had only heard about from Elena, truly had extraordinary grace and incredible beauty.

She extended her hand with a smile, "Sister Cecilia."

Looking at Diana, who even resembled her slightly, Cecilia felt an inexplicable fondness and reached out to shake hands.

"Hello."

Elena went straight to the point.

"The thing is, Cecilia, Diana has just graduated from music school and will be having an upcoming graduation ball. The event will gather elites from around the city, and each student’s performance will be their final assessment.

"Her performance involves a piano duet, and her partner encountered some issues, so we’d like you to help out.

"It’s not really anything difficult; just some simple coordination actions."

This was indeed the case, but Elena hid some motives. She wanted Cecilia to make an appearance at the ball, where the Lawrence and Harris families, along with other major families, would attend. Knowing her time was limited, after previously causing trouble for Cecilia, Elena intended to make sure Cecilia’s future was secured by introducing her to reliable people.

Therefore, she had made up an excuse for Cecilia to attend the ball.

Cecilia, having nothing else planned, thought it would be nice to connect with Diana. After all, she was the only contemporary child on her mother’s side.

With that thought, she agreed.

"Okay."

After that, Diana brought Cecilia to the school’s ballroom practice hall.

When they entered, they saw a few young men and women laughing.

They all suddenly went silent when they saw both of them walk in, staring directly at Diana with eyes full of disdain.

Diana evidently felt the unfriendly stares but seemed used to them, calmly saying to Cecilia, "It’s fine, Sister Cecilia. Just ignore them."

Cecilia frowned slightly; it seemed that Diana was not having an easy time at school.

But since she said to ignore them, she would heed that advice.

Setting her bag aside, a man from the group suddenly walked over to them.

"Diana, why not introduce her to us?"

Diana looked at the man in front of her, sadness filling her eyes.

"This is Cecilia Morrison, my sister. This is Richard, my... boyfriend."

For no particular reason, Cecilia disliked the prideful look in the man’s eyes.

Suddenly, a scornful female voice spoke up, "He is your boyfriend indeed. Why don’t you mention he was your former duet partner as well?"
