Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 276

Time passed by quietly. Soon, invitations reached the hands of prominent families in the city. It was the invitation to the Sterling family's grand birthday banquet.

Francis even began hyping the event, announcing that there would be a rare raw gemstone worth three hundred million displayed for everyone.

This was a strategy to attract as many attendees as possible. After all, anyone who came would surely bring a birthday gift.

At their level of wealth and status, the gifts presented would undoubtedly be of significant value.

After suffering a loss of a billion dollars, Francis had been preoccupied with finding ways to recoup the losses. Otherwise, he couldn't have peace of mind.

…

In the Sterling family's villa, Francis was cross-checking the guest list with a serious expression. This matter was of utmost importance to him.

"Have all the invitations been sent to the prominent families in Stonybrook and individuals with assets exceeding a hundred million?"

"They've all been sent out, and I've personally informed everyone as well," Julia replied softly.

Francis didn't trust anyone else with this task and assigned it directly to Julia. In his eyes, Julia was meticulous and detail-oriented. She could ensure everything was flawlessly executed.

This was why Francis placed so much trust in her.

"Excellent. This birthday banquet will surely be the talk of the city. On that day, I'll be the center of attention! I'm expecting countless priceless gifts." Francis laughed heartily, his voice filled with satisfaction. It was as if he could already see a dazzling future ahead.

The father and son appeared harmonious and cheerful.

However, Charlotte and the others were growing increasingly annoyed, finding their behavior insincere. Still, they had no choice but to endure it.

"If I had known, I would have told my classmates as well. It's such a pity that I work in the live-streaming industry now and can't invite my fans! If I could, I'd probably receive plenty of gifts too!" Lily pouted slightly, looking regretful.

"Lily, you're trying to milk some money, aren't you?" Anna raised an eyebrow in shock.

She couldn't believe that her sister had become like this. Her way of thinking was completely unlike the Lily that she used to know.
