Chapter 1455 Julianâs Gift Julian had chosen his leading ladyâJessie, who had yet to make her debut.
Once all the guests arrived, the first item on the agenda was Brandonâs announcement that his youngest daughter had been found. Jessie went up on stage accompanied by her older sister, and the guests were shocked by the sight of the happily reunited family.
Everyone in the crowd was thinking the same thing. They're twins, alright! They look exactly the same.
Many of the young men in the crowd were beginning to get ideas. The Silversteinsâ fortune was going to go to the two sisters in the future, so if they became the Silversteinsâ son-in-law, they would get to take possession of half of the familyâs fortune!
Nigel and Julian were leaning against a pillar by the stage. They each had a glass of wine in their hands as they gazed at the pair of gorgeous young women up on the stage. Then, Nigelâs sharp hearing picked up on the words coming from a young man.
âWow! | think the elder Miss Silverstein has inherited the company. Iâm sure | can easily sign a deal with Silverstein Enterprise if |
manage to woo her.â
Nigel smirked at that. He walked over to that man and tapped him on the shoulder. The man was startled and turned around to see a tall, handsome man behind him. âYes?â
âI'm just here to give you a friendly reminder. The elder Miss Silverstein is my fiancée. You'll have to be careful if you try to get any ideas about her.â Nigelâs sharp gaze paired well with his warning tone.
The man started apologizing awkwardly, âIâm so sorry. | was just blabbing. | didnât mean any of it.â
With that, he quickly fled with his friends.
It was hard for the guests to tell the two young women on stage apart, but for those who took the time to understand them, it wasnât hard at all.
Nigel and Julian could both easily tell them apart with just one look.
With the crowd acting as the witnesses to Jessieâs return to the family, the Silversteins shared a group hug, and the crowd rang out in applause at the sight of the heart-warming family reunion.
Jessieâs eyes were red as she hugged her mother close. Brandon patted her on the shoulder, whereas Queenie reached out to hug her sister as well.
âDig in, everyone! | hope you all have a wonderful time tonight!â Brandon addressed the crowd cheerfully.
Applause thundered out once more, and soon, the guests started coming over to congratulate the Silverstein couple. The Manson couple was among them. As future in-laws, they were genuinely happy for the Silversteins too.
Queenie brought Jessie over to the two men, who were still standing by the pillar. Jessie was a little red-faced as she glanced at Julian.
â| have a gift for you, Miss Jessie Silverstein,â Julian declared.
She blinked. âThatâs not necessary at all, Mr. Gilmore. Iâm already honored that you came. | canât accept a gift from you.â
âNo, you must accept this gift,â he insisted.
Nigel and Queenie were both waiting to see what the gift was. Jessie was a little embarrassed. âWhat do you wish to give me, Mr. Gilmore?â
âEva Duncan isnât free to play the female lead in my upcoming drama. The production team wants me to recommend someone.
I'm recommending you.â
âWhat?!â Jessie was dumbstruck and covered her mouth in shock. Me?!
He wants me to play the female lead in his upcoming drama? How can | possibly do that?! This gift is too much.
âJessie, donât let his kindness go to waste. Iâm sure you can do a great job,â Nigel said.
âThatâs right, Jessie. You have all of us supporting you. Iâm sure you'll become a successful actress with Julian helping you with your debut.â Queenie was pleased on Jessieâs behalf. Seems to me that Julian really is taking good care of Jessie! This was great news to her as she hoped that Jessie would get together with Julian in the future.
Jessie was red from all her excitement. She glanced at Queenie before turning to Julian and said gratefully, âThank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Gilmore. | won't let you down.â
âJessie, why donât you toast Julian?â Queenie suggested with a smile.
Jessie quickly took a glass of red wine from the server and said bashfully, âHereâs a toast to you, Mr. Gilmore.â
