Behind the scenes, the Ryker family was in disarray, with numerous thoughts racing through their minds.
Meanwhile, the situation at the birthday party remained orderly.
After a brief moment of rage, Oscar smiled at the guests once again.
Both the Ryker and Steiner families were in good spirits and showed no signs of anything unusual.
Sonia felt worried due to the peaceful atmosphere.
“Mom,” she said, taking Michaela’s hand in hers. “Isn’t Emmeline’s identity not a big deal? Old Mr. Ryker didn’t do anything either, right?”
“You need to stay calm,” Michaela said quietly. “Didn’t you see how angry Oscar was just now? He was on the verge of slamming the table. However, the Ryker family is prestigious and influential. They won’t panic or make a fuss in such a significant situation. Don’t worry, when Old Mr. Ryker gives the order, he will hold Emmeline accountable!”
“Alright, then.”
Sonia felt relieved and looked across the mahogany table at Emmeline, thinking to herself, Emmeline, let’s see how long you can hold on! The truth will come out sooner or later!
The banquet commenced, and everyone took their seats.
Some people dined in the garden, while others dined in the hall. The Ryker family estate was enormous, with hundreds of tables set up.
Hundreds of people gathered to toast Mr. Ryker.
The toasting continued for almost an hour or two.
Munchkin joined his parents and bodyguards in toasting his great-grandfather.
Munchkin, of course, drank children’s fruit juice.
On the other hand, Oscar enjoyed an $80,000 bottle of liquor.
He was overjoyed to see his four gorgeous great-grandchildren.
He happily handed out large red envelopes to each of them, including Munchkin.
After receiving the red envelope, Munchkin was escorted back to the main building by security.
Oscar remained at the outdoor banquet scene, enjoying the festivities with the crowd.
