Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 286

The next day, the sky was clear, endless blue and deep. The entire Stonybrook grew increasingly lively.

Francis had rented a luxurious hotel for his birthday party, and he had invited an extensive guest list. The number of luxury cars parked outside the hotel was staggering, filling every available space.

Many news outlets had caught wind of the event and arrived to capture the moment, eager to get exclusive coverage. It was truly a prestigious event.

The guests mingled and engaged in lively conversations, with smiles on their faces. Each of them was a well-known figure in the business world, all worth hundreds of millions.

They formed small circles, exchanging pleasantries. Francis stood out as the center of attention in these circles.

Francis was delighted, dressed in a tailored black suit, chatting with the guests in the hall. He looked as if he was speaking to his subordinates. He was the star of the day.

Charlotte and others were also dressed in custom, elegant outfits, welcoming the guests with bright smiles. The entire family shone brightly.

As the party continued, it was time for the gift-giving ceremony.

"The Thompson Group presents a century-old vase!"

"The Carter Group presents a century-old agarwood!"

"The Hudson Group presents ten deep-sea black pearls!"

With each announcement, the crowd's attention was drawn. Everyone wanted to know what valuable gifts others were giving. It seemed to turn into a competition.

However, Francis' expression radiated satisfaction. The sheer number of valuable gifts was a clear sign of the guests' respect and honor for Francis.

The total value of these gifts was astronomical. Many guests couldn't even hide their envy.

"Mr. Morgan, this is the most advanced VR headset I've brought from abroad. It's worth 100 thousand dollars. This is just a token of my goodwill."

"Mr. Morgan, this is a membership card to a high-end club in the capital. I'm sure you will love the perks!"

"Mr. Morgan, my family just acquired the rights to sell a luxury watch brand from overseas. This is the first watch in our country, and it suits your status perfectly!"

For a moment, everyone present spoke up, offering gifts and words that reflected their hopes. They knew this wasn't just about flattering Morgan. It was about paving the way for their own future.

"You're all too polite. Really," Morgan smiled lightly, his expression becoming even more genuine.

His goal was clear. He wanted to show off in front of his classmates and collect as many valuable gifts as possible. It was really a good way to accomplish two objectives at once.

At the same time, Francis felt it was the right moment to take things further. He looked around and then called out loudly.
