Since 6 p.m.…
The Morris manor was slowly filled with guests.
The glorious and bright light in the manor made this luxurious building built in the middle of the lawn
stood out from the other buildings.
The living hall was splendidly decorated, and it looked extravagant.
As time went by.
More and more guests went into the hall.
Alexander wore a black suit with a black bowtie. He was an imposing appearance.
Alexander walked in between the guests and was greeting people.
However, Fiona, the star of the night, hadn’t appeared at the ball.
Fiona’s absence wasn’t noticed by anyone.
Fiona wasn’t an attention-catcher, even for tonight.
Furthermore, the guests who came to the party tonight thought the birthday party was just an excuse to
invite them here. No one really took Fiona’s birthday seriously. Therefore, nobody asked for Fiona as
well.
At the same time.
The Kennedy family arrived at the living hall of the Morris manor in their best dress.
Lindsay’s gown was flashier and flashy. She wore a long red gown and attracted all guests’ attention
the moment she stepped into the living hall. She looked feisty.
However, she was wearing an elegant smile so that people wouldn’t notice that she was pleased by the
flatteries.
Alexander quickly approached them, “Osmond, you’re here.”
“Sorry for being late. The traffic was hectic.”
“No, you’re not. You’re just in time.”
After some chatters.
“Where’s Fiona?” Lindsay asked passionately.
“She’s still getting prepared. She’ll be down in a minute.”
“I’ve prepared a present for her,” Lindsay would usually put on a mask for the outsiders.
This habit of Lindsay.
Caesar mastered it so well.
“You shouldn’t have,” Alexander quickly thanked Lindsay.
More and more people arrived at the manor.
Alexander kept greeting the new-arrived guest.
“Cameron, welcome!” Alexander welcomed Cameron with enthusiasm, “I haven’t seen you appearing
in the eyes of the public. What an honour.”
“Nonsense. How can I not be here for your wife’s birthday?”
Cameron replied.
Cameron was Kingsley’s father. The leader of the four wealthiest families.
Cameron’s wife, Caroline, stood beside him, followed by his eldest son, Darren, his second son,
Edward, and his youngest son, Kingsley.
All three of Cameron’s sons greeted Alexander politely.
Alexander was amiable. He told Kingsley, “I saw your presentation yesterday. I’m impressed.”
“I’m flattered. I was just being lucky,” Kingsley was humble.
“That wasn’t just luck,” Alexander affirmed, “You’re smart and bright.”
“You need to stop praising him. He’ll become cocky,” Cameron smiled, “He will need to keep up to your
future son-in-law.”
“Shall I remind you that extreme humble is also an act of cockiness?” Alexander cracked a joke.
Alexander didn’t want to talk about Caesar.
At the same time, George arrived at the Morris manor with his family.
“George is here,” Alexander said.
George approached Alexander with his wife, Eunice, along with Maureen, Brandon and Bruce.
“Cameron, you’re here,” George looked at Cameron and greeted him.
The Walker family was now in-charged by the eldest son, so it was hard to see Cameron attending any
social events. George never expected to see Cameron at a birthday party like this.
“Well, you’re here. How can I not?” Cameron joked with George.
At the same time, Osmond joined the group.
Now, the four wealthiest families in Country B gathered here at a birthday party.
Including the Walker family, the Morris family, the Torres family, and the Kennedy family. Based on the
total of their wealth, all of them gathered at the busiest city, the Kouby City.
Other than the four wealthiest families, there were two old and well-known families in Country B.
Both the Jonathan family and the Timothy Family lived in the most powerful city in Country B, the King's
Landing.
Both two clans of the old families and the wealthy families didn’t have much to do with each other. After
all, they were both staying in a different city and responsible for different industries in the society.
But in fact.
The wealthy families needed protection from the old families, while the old families needed the money
from the wealthy families. Furthermore, the wealthy families wanted to become one of the old and
powerful families in the city, while the old families wanted to cut off the wealthy families’ resources.
No one could really tell if both clans were related or not.
Unless the wealthy families and the old families combined as one.
Just like Caesar in his past life, he wanted to become the first person to possess the identity of a
member of both the wealthy family and the old family.
Gianna was standing on the stairwell of the second floor, watching the guests in the living hall.
Looking at the rich and famous people standing in her living hall, Gianna felt like Caesar was just an
ordinary person. She didn’t understand why she would help Caesar with all her heart. Gianna even
helped Caesar to achieve a position where he couldn’t have reached at all by his capabilities.
Gianna rolled her eyes.
Well, in this life, Caesar won’t qualify to become a member of the old family.
Gianna controlled her emotions and held Fiona’s hand.
Suddenly, the lights in the living hall went dark.
A spotlight was turned on and focused on two ladies on the second floor.
The guests’ attention was attracted by the spotlight and they saw the ladies standing on the second
floor immediately.
One of them was wearing a black sparkly gown, while the other one was wearing a white gown.
Both of them looked like an angel in a dream. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why Gianna and
Fiona looked so pretty that people couldn’t stare at them for long.
Light music flew in the air.
Gianna held Fiona’s hand and walked down from the stairs on the red carpet from the second floor.
Fiona was nervous as she became the centre of attention of the guests.
Fiona couldn’t believe what she saw.
She thought she was only going for a celebration dinner with Alexander.
What was with this grand birthday party she saw?
Fiona nervously and carefully stepped down the stair behind Gianna’s footsteps.
The spotlight was following them as they walked.
When they arrived at the bottom of the stairs, Alexander appeared.
Alexander was wearing a set of suits, and he looked smart. He didn’t gain weight as most middle-aged
men did, but instead, he looked gentle and elegant even when he was already in his 50s.
Alexander took a bow and reached out his hand.
He was welcoming the most important woman in his life with the highest manner of chivalry.
Fiona was stunned, and she looked at Alexander. She never expected the surprise. Therefore, she
didn’t know how to respond to Alexander’s action.
Gianna put Fiona’s hand in Alexander’s hand.
At the same time, the living hall started to flow with a beautiful melody played by the orchestra.
Alexander led Fiona into the middle of the dance floor and started their first dance of the night under
the attention of the guests.
It was a beautiful and romantic dance.
The guests were surprised to see what they saw.
They were first stunned, then they started gossiping.
“Oh my, is that Fiona? She looked like a different person. If Alexander wasn’t holding her, I won’t
believe that it is Fiona.”
“The tiara she’s wearing is so pretty. Is that the thirty million RMB sapphire from the charity ball on her
tiara? It’s gorgeous.”
“Is that Fiona true figure? And she could dance so well?”
“This birthday party Alexander held for Fiona amazed me.”
In the living hall.
Somebody was so jealous that her eyes almost went green.
