Chapter 101 Matters of Status

Jonathan flipped the invitation over in his han

‘merous times, still feeling bewildered by the unexpected development. It was unusual enough that the Ivan family was organizing a birthday party, but for it to be for their elusive daughter made it even more curious.

“Hadn’t there been talk that the Ivan family was planning to hand over all their assets to the youngest daughter? The grand scale of this birthday party must be related to that,” he pondered aloud. Although this rumor had circulated throughout high society, most considered it far–fetched, given the three sons in the Ivan family. But now it seemed this might be the only explanation for the extravagance of the event.

“If that’s true, I should prepare something special. If I could build a relationship with the Ivan family’s youngest daughter, wouldn’t my own family stand a chance at a partnership?” Jonathan’s mind. raced at the thought. After all, an alliance with the Ivan family was coveted by many.

Cyril glanced at Jonathan, knowing his thoughts were shared by many. However, there was one crucial consideration: whether a girl born into such wealth was just a figurehead or truly capable.

“If you’re looking for a shortcut, I can only wish you success. Everyone wants it, but not everyone can achieve it,” Cyril remarked, deliberately provoking thought. His words carried weight, prompting a heavy sigh from Jonathan, who felt a sting at the reality of the situation.

“It’s better to think of your own strategies than to rely on such dubious methods, which are unlikely to work,” Cyril advised finally.

Jonathan nodded, though it seemed like there were few alternatives.

Time flew by, and the day of the birthday banquet arrived. The invitation list included nearly every notable family, underscoring just how seriously the Ivan family considered this occasion. Hosting such an event for their youngest daughter signified that she must hold an especially cherished place within the family.

Sylvia had planned to accompany her brothers but ended up arriving alone due to some last- minute business at the company. As she approached the venue, she saw someone waiting for

her at the entrance. It was Duncan.

His eyes lit up when he saw Sylvia, and he greeted her with a broad smile as he walked over.

Sylvia, adjusting her dress, inquired, “What are you doing here?” 

“Juliet was supposed to wait for you here, but she got called away by her family. She asked me to wait for you instead. She mentioned tha brother has arranged a surprise for you and didn’t want you to get lost, so here I am,” Duncan explained, albeit the reason seeming a little contrived. Regardless, Sylvia didn’t call him out on it.

“Oh, I see. Well, let’s head in together,” Sylvia suggested.

As they walked to the entrance, no one barred their path, evidently recognizing them. But just as they were about to enter, they were stopped by none other than Bonnie.

Holding the invitation that had been scrutinized numerous times, Jonathan was still astounded. It was a rarity for the Ivan family to be organizing a birthday party, let alone for their secluded young daughter.

“Weren’t there rumors that the Ivan family was planning to transfer all their assets to their youngest daughter? If they’re putting on such a grand birthday event, it is probably for that reason,” he mused. While most considered this gossip to be just that–gossip–given the extent of the celebration, it seemed like an adequate explanation.

“If that’s the case, then what kind of gift should I prepare? Establishing a connection with the Ivan family’s youngest daughter might lead to future collaborations, wouldn’t it?” Jonathan’s mind raced with the possibilities, eager at the prospect of an alliance with such a

powerful family.

Cyril glanced at Jonathan, knowing that this notion must be occurring to many others as well. However, one question lingered: how capable was this daughter, born into such

affluence?

“If you’re seeking a shortcut, then I wish you luck. But remember, everyone wants the easy path, and not everyone succeeds,” Cyril said pointedly, his words resonating with a sobering reality that made Jonathan sigh deeply.

As the birthday banquet drew near, the Ivan family’s invitation list included virtually every distinguished lineage–one could easily see the significance of this event. That they were

throwing such a magnificent party for their daughter only stoked everyone’s curiosity and speculation about her true status.
