Chapter 74
The room fell into a stunned silence at his introduction.
“The young master of the Abbott family himself! Cheryl’s luck is unbelievable!”
“Indeed! The Abbotts are a leading family among Drunham City’s elite,
and their corporation is a powerhouse with wealth to match!”
“Watch Cheryl strut now. She’s just been snubbed by the Hughes family, and now she’s rubbing shoulders with the Abbotts!”
Wasyl stood with an air of superiority, casting a dismissive glance at the lesser families gathered in the hall. Their mere presence seemed
like an unwelcome reminder of the social ladder he stood atop.
Cheryl basked in the attention and envious stares from the crowd, her vanity swelling with pride.
“Hahaha, thank you!”
Reginald chuckled as he accepted the ornate box. Upon opening it, he found an expensive multivitamin inside, eliciting gasps of
amazement from the onlookers.
Cheryl seized the moment to introduce, “Grandpa, this is an expensive multivitamin from a renowned wellness center that Mr. Abbott bought
in San Jemison. It’s known for increasing one’s lifespan!”
Reginald, feeling the weight of his years, was all too aware of his mortality. The promise of increasing his lifespan through the
multivitamin brought a grin so wide that his eyes nearly disappeared into joyful creases.
Wasyl’s thoughtful gift had won Reginald’s heart, earning him a coveted spot right beside the old man.

Wasyl offered a few modest words before confidently claiming his seat, stirring a wave of jealousy among the Stone family’s younger
set.
However, envy was futile. Wasyl was the esteemed son of the Abbott family, with all the prestige that entailed.
At that moment, Yafe and Sherah entered with Celena’s family of
three in tow.
“Isn’t that Celena? Why is she coming in with the head of the Stone family?”
“Isn’t that Liam next to Celena? What’s going on… Why are they here today?”
