Chapter 95
Upon learning Jordan’s Identity, Elijah hurried forward to greet him. “Hello, Mr. Hunter, I apologize for not preparing a warmer welcome for you.”
Elijah greetcu respectfully. Even at the peak of the Smith family’s power, they were nowhere near the level of the Hunter family.
Jordan smiled gently. “You’re too kind, Mr. Smith. If anything, I hope you don’t mind me showing up out of
the blue.”
“Please, Mr. Hunter. It’s our honor that you came. Please take a seat.” Elijah flashed a flattering smile as he invited Jordan to the table.
“Ms. Green is here!”
“Ms. Green? As in Ms. Natalie Green?” All eyes turned to the entrance, including Elijah’s, looking on with
anticipation.
Natalie was the eldest daughter of the Green family, one of the four prestigious families in Ravenview City, and also the Supreme One’s secretary. Anyone associated with the Supreme One would be put on a pedestal.
As the Supreme One’s secretary, Natalie was considered a trusted confidante. And in some respects, her words and actions could represent the Supreme One.
Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, a woman in a light blue dress slowly entered the hall. She had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and an extraordinary aura, like a queen.
“It’s really Ms. Green. She came to celebrate Mr. Elijah’s birthday.” The crowd was surprised, considering the current decline of the Smith family. Just a few days ago, Lyra had even impersonated the Supreme wife. Logically speaking, even if the Supreme One didn’t reprimand Lyra, Natalie shouldn’t have come
either.
Elijah was extremely excited to see Natakue and quickly went forward to greet her. “Welcome, Ms. Green. I apologize for not preparing a warmer welcome.”
Natalie merely nodded. Despite this, Elijah didn’t show any annoyance, “Please take a seat, Ms. Green.”
Natalie was brought to her seat, conveniently next to Jordan.
“Hello, I’m Jordan, the second son of the Hunter family in Wave City.” Jordan extended his hand to Natalie, his gaze turning lustful.
Although Lyra was also beautiful, she couldn’t hold a candle to Natalie. Therefore, Jordan was immediately drawn to her, feeling a strong desire to conquer her,
However, Natalie ignored him completely.
Jordan’s smile tensed, and his hand froze in the air. He didn’t know how to react
“You’re quite arrogant.” Jordan flashed her a weird smile, clearly annoyed
Lyra immediately shrieked, “Natalie, my boyfriend is the second son of the Hunter family In Wave City How dare you disrespect him? You have some nerve.”
And what are you going to do about it?” Natalie sneered.
She was well aware that Sebastian had suffered humiliation from these people. However, Sebastian had endured it since he didn’t want to expose his identity. But she, on the other hand, did not share the same
worries.
“You…” Lyra gritted her teeth.
“Be nice, Lyra!” Lyra was about to yell, but Elijah quickly spoke out to stop her. If they offended Natalie, the consequences would be severe.
Elijah smiled gently. “Mr. Hunter, Ms. Green is the Supreme One’s secretary and has a proud temperament. I hope you don’t mind.”
“What? She’s the Supreme One’s secretary!” Jordan was shocked and his arrogance immediately disappeared.
The Hunter family was the rich*st family in Wave City and could do as they pleased there. But they still feared and respected the Supreme One.
Chapter 96
After all, the Phoenix Corporation was the leading company in the world. The Hunter family was nothing compared to them. Moreover, the Supreme One also had the terrifying Supreme Pavilion, which the Hunter family wouldn’t dare provoke.
At this point, most of the guests had arrived, and the banquet was about to begin. However, there was an important ceremony before that–the gifts session.
Lucas was the first to stand up with a vase in his hand. “Grandpa, this antique pot cost me about eight million dollars. I wish you a very happy birthday.”
Elijah nodded with a smile, clearly pleased with the gift.
Next, Jordan stood up and handed a painting to Elijah. “With this painting, I wish you’ll live a long and prosperous life.”
Lyra smirked proudly. “Grandpa, this cost over ten million dollars.”
“As expected of the Hunter family. Such a generous gift. It is indeed remarkable.”
“I’ve seen that painting before! It was drawn by a renowned artist. It holds great value.”
The crowd exclaimed. Especially the young ladies, some of whom were practically swooning, wishing to
offer themselves to Jordan.
“Thank you, Mr. Hunter,” Elijah said happily, unable to wipe the smile off his face.
The value of the painting was one thing, but what truly delighted him was Jordan’s sincerity and attitude. Once the Smith family allied with the Hunter family, the Smith family would quickly regain its former glory, and perhaps even surpass it.
Lyra was glowing with pride, and her gaze fell on Sebastian. The guests also turned their attention to the
small box in Sebastian’s hand.
Some people chuckled. In just a short while, Sebastian’s reputation had spread far and wide. Now, everyone knew about it. He was just a good–for–nothing who latched onto women. What could he possibly gift Elijah?
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take out your gift.” Lucas sneered, wanting to embarrass
Sebastian.
Without a word, Sebastian opened the box, revealing a small porcelain bottle inside.
Lucas scoffed. “Although I’m not an expert, this bottle looks modern. Did you buy it from a dollar store?”
People around shook their heads upon seeing it, and even Lyra’s face fell. It was evident that the small porcelain bottle couldn’t possibly be an antique.
Sebastian smiled meaningfully. “I never said the bottle was the gift. I’m giving what’s inside the bottle.”
With that, Sebastian took out the bottle and handed it to Elijah. “This is a pill I made. It will keep you from
