Chapter 716 Something Wrong Somewhere
When the press saw the crowd of guests, who were mostly powerful and influential people, they were agitated and excited. After all, most of them were hard and rare to be captured on camera.
Meanwhile, the guests were unfazed by the shutters and flashes from the press as they went on and exchanged pleasantries with the others, walking on the red carpet with a smile on their faces. When they arrived at the hotel’s entrance, they were greeted by the usher, who would later lead them to the banquet hall.
In the meantime, Nicholas was seen wearing a decent black suit with an emotionless look on his handsome face. At the same time, he radiated an attractive and manly aura that couldn’t be ignored by those around him. On the other hand, Kieran was also wearing a black suit like Nicholas was, but unlike his older brother’s cold demeanor, he was always seen with a bright smile on his face and an approachable attitude.
While the brothers each stood next to their grandfather, Remus, the older man was wearing a classic suit that made him look especially jubilant and jaunty. With his gray hair combed, his eyes lit up with exhilaration and happiness. He then brought the brothers with him and greeted the guests just as everyone began to exchange pleasantries with a glass of champagne in their hand in the banquet hall.
While the place was full of socialites from all over the country, every one of them dressed themselves up attractively and beautifully for the occasion. Thus, the occasion looked exactly like a fashion show if it weren’t for Remus’ birthday feast. After all, most of them were wearing custom-made dresses with valuable jewelry.
Staring at the ladies, Kieran leaned closer to his brother and whispered to the latter. “Hey, Nicholas. Is it just me, or are there a lot of ladies among our guests?” Nicholas looked around him when he heard Kieran’s words, realizing his younger brother’s words were true. Then, he heard Kieran’s confused voice again. “What do you think Grandpa is up to? Why did he invite so many ladies to his birthday feast?”
“You want to know why?”
“Yeah, I do.”
“Think about it yourself.”
Kieran speechlessly looked at Nicholas, responding in an annoyed manner, “You could have just told me you don’t know anything. It’s not like I’m going to laugh at you for that or something.”
