Chapter 354

Petra saw how I helped salvage the situation and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even though I can't be President White's goddaughter, she's usually still kind to me. Titles andceremonies aren't that important,” I smiled as I continued.

Jeshua looked at me and said, "You're such a considerate kid."

He was indirectly pointing out how inconsiderate Petra was since she did not even know how topolitely decline.

"This girlie is so lovable." The man beside Grandpa chimed in. "My wife loves girls, but she gavebirth to two sons. She has always lamented the fact that she doesn't have any daughters. Why don'twe take you in as our goddaughter?"

The woman who was sitting close to him quickly answered, "I think we should."

That man looked like he was in his 40s and had an air of righteousness around him. After siftingthrough my memories to recall who this man was, my heart skipped a beat.

This man was someone of substantial influence in the

political world. He was considered as one of the biggest shots among all the big shots present. Thewoman beside him was his wife, also someone with equal amounts of influence in the politicalworld.

Carlson and Yvonne Schuman were a power couple that people looked up to. They had their bootslicked wherever they went. Now, they were saying that they wanted to take me in as theirgoddaughter. I was flabbergasted.

"Are you serious?" Jeshua asked happily.

"Of course!" Yvonne walked up to me and held my hand in hers. "Although we don't look alike, ourmeeting today can also be considered as destiny.

We’re sure about wanting to take you in as our goddaughter."

Yvonne was firm as she spoke with authority. I was drawn to her.

Unlike Petra, who would twist and turn her words when she wanted to convey a message, Ipreferred a straightforward, direct woman like her.

Jeshua nodded in satisfaction. "Girlie, this is a huge blessing! This couple wants to take you in astheir daughter. They'll definitely treat you like their own!"

My lips quivered slightly as I rose from my seat. I gave Carlson and Yvonne Schuman a hug. "Icount myself a s extremely fortunate."

"Good girl." Yvonne caressed my head lovingly. "We'll treat you as our own daughter, so don't youworry! We won't have you calling us your godparents for nothing."

Since the social elite circle of Whaldorf City was considerably small, everyone had already receivednews that Carlson and Yvonne Schuman had taken m e in as their goddaughter before the banquetwas even over.

That also meant that from today onward, I was someone with strong support behind me. It wouldalso mean that Grayson and Petra had to reconsider things if they wanted to do anything to me.

What I had reaped from this banquet was far more than what I expected.

When Matthew came back, Carlson and Yvonne had gone elsewhere to talk to other people. I washungry, s o I was eating when he came and sat next to me. He smiled. "If you had insisted on notcoming to the banquet, would you have regretted it for the rest of your life?"

I cocked my eyebrow. "Was this all within your expectations?"

Even though Matthew was not around earlier, he was clear about what had just transpired. It meantthat everything that happened today had been deliberately arranged. The outcome was just as hehad planned.

Matthew looked at me intently. "It looks like you're not too dumb."
