My Heart only Beats for You

"Yuna, if you don't attend Peter's birthday celebration, he'll be unhappy. After all, he likes you so much." Ruby tried to persuade Yuna.

This made Yuna beceven more frustrated.

She knew that very well. Even though she had disappointed Peter previously, he liked her a lot and wouldn't completely lose all his affection for her just because of that one incident. But it would be hard to say if she didn't attend the birthday celebration this time.

She hadn't given up on Tobias yet. If she still wanted to fight for it, she absolutely couldn't give up on her trump card, Peter. SEAR*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"I'll go." After a while, Yuna heaved a huge sigh. "At most, I'll just have to endure that Natalie being all conceited." "Yuna, don't worry, she definitely won't." A hint of scheming flashed in Ruby's eyes. "I will definitely let that country bumpkin suffer humiliation on that day." Yuna was stunned.

She looked at Ruby in confusion. "Mom, what do you mean?" Ruby curled her lips and said, "Yuna, rest assured that I'll help you get payback for the humiliation you suffered that day. I'll turn that country bumpkin into the laughingstock of the night!" Yuna had told Ruby about Natalie before, and Ruby had done sinvestigating into Natalie's background. She was absolutely confident.

On the day of Peter's birthday celebration, Ruby would humiliate Natalie and make her the laughingstock of the crowd.

With so many of the Whitlock family's friends and relatives present, the Whitlock family would definitely reconsider accepting Natalie if she were to make a fool out of herself.

The day of Peter's birthday celebration arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Whitlock family mansion was especially decorated on this day.

The huge villa was entirely lit up with light, the warm yellow lights mixing in with the moonlight.

There were plenty of nobles and socialites present, and the space in front of the mansion was parked full of luxurious cars.

A black Lincoln stopped there, and out stepped an old man in a military uniform, holding a walking stick. Yuna and Ruby were with him as well, and they were dressed to the nines.

Yuna was dressed up very beautifully.

She was wearing a bright red dress, which outlined her beautiful figure perfectly.

As soon as she got out of the car, she attracted everyone's attention.

Upon entering the lavishly decorated lobby, Peter specially cout to greet them.

"Leonald, I didn't expect you to be here today. What an honor!" Peter greeted the old man with the walking stick. He was Yuna's grandfather, Leonald Sherman, and he was one of Peter's old comrade-in-arms.

"Of course I had to attend your birthday celebration, Peter." Leonald's gaze fell on Yuna, who was standing to one side. "Yuna, why aren't you greeting your Grandpa Peter?" Yuna bit her lip and said rather shyly, "Grandpa Peter, happy 80th birthday." She paused, then lowered her voice. "You're... you're not still angry at me, are you?" Her voice was deliberately lowered, making her seem to be extra apprehensive.

Peter's heart ached at Yuna's appearance, and he forgot all about his anger.

"How could I be angry with you? Don't think too much, Yuna," Peter said cheerfully. "I'm happy to see you ctoday." Yuna immediately smiled.

Ruby also said, "Mr. Whitlock, happy 80th birthday! May you be blessed with a long life and great prosperity." Peter smiled and waved his hands, saying, "You can skip the formalities. I wasn't planning to have a birthday celebration initially, I just wanted to have a meal at home. But they insisted on it!" Ruby looked around and asked, "Mr. Whitlock, why isn't your granddaughter-in-law here?" Peter's face stiffened.

Peter had originally thought that Yuna was the only one aware of Natalie's existence. He didn't know the whole Sherman family knew.

A trace of guilt flashed in Peter's eyes.

He owed his life to Leonald, and he'd planned on matchmaking Tobias and Yuna.

However, Tobias didn't fancy Yuna, but fell for Natalie instead.

Peter felt very guilty.

He said vaguely, "Who knows." Ruby said pointedly, "Mr. Whitlock, we didn't know that Tobias had someone he liked. If we'd known, we wouldn't have allowed Yuna to even cinto contact with him. My Yuna's one in a million, and you don't even know how many young men are interested in her." Peter's eyes briefly shone with irritation.

Even though Yuna had something like that the night before, it didn't completely wipe out Peter's affection for her. Peter was conservative at heart and still believed that marriage should be between families of equal rank. Yuna obviously suited Tobias more than Natalie did.

"Ruby!" Leonald looked at his daughter-in-law with displeasure.

Ruby chuckled. "Oh, I just blurted it out by accident. It's nothing much, really. Mr. Whitlock, which family if your granddaughter-in-law from? Tobias is such an outstanding young man, so his wife shouldn't be too shabby either, right?" Ruby was doing this on purpose. She'd long since looked into Natalie's background, and she knew that it was a purely middle-class family. To her, and to other affluent families, she was probably no better than dirt.

Ruby's question was intended to make Peter feel uncomfortable.

She was also certain that Peter wouldn't do anything to her no matter how uncomfortable he felt.

Peter was a person who valued relationships. He owed Yuna's grandfather his life.

Which was why Peter wouldn't disrespect Leonald.

As expected, although Peter looked a little embarrassed, he didn't get angry.

His voice lowered as he said, "She's from an ordinary family." Ruby let out a mocking laugh, not hiding her contempt.

"Ruby, take Yuna with you. I have something to say to Peter." Leonald could see what Ruby was up to.

He sighed secretly.

Women were so petty.

Yuna linked arms with Ruby and headed towards the center of the hall.

The Whitlock family mansion had an extremely large hall, and it could hold a few hundred people. It had been specially decorated for the celebration.

"Mom, didn't you say that you would humiliate Natalie? Why did you do that to Grandpa Peter instead?" Yuna En. whispered to Ruby. Ruby smirked. "What do you know? I was doing that to make him dislike Natalie even more so that he'll make life harder for her." Malice flashed through Yuna's eyes.

Her lips curved into a smile. "Mom, you're still the best." Ruby looked proud. "Of course."

When they arrived at the buffet area, there were already a number of socialites gathered there, sipping champagne as they chatted. Ruby and Yuna had already met with these socialites previously, and they soon got into conversation with each other. The topic of conversation gradually moved to Tobias.
