Since 6 p.m.…
The Morris manor was slowly filled with guests.
The glorious and bright light in the manor made this luxurious building built in the middle of the lawn stood out from the other buildings.
The living hall was splendidly decorated, and it looked extravagant.
As time went by.
More and more guests went into the hall.
Alexander wore a black suit with a black bowtie. He was an imposing appearance.
Alexander walked in between the guests and was greeting people.
However, Fiona, the star of the night, hadn’t appeared at the ball.
Fiona’s absence wasn’t noticed by anyone.
Fiona wasn’t an attention-catcher, even for tonight.
Furthermore, the guests who came to the party tonight thought the birthday party was just an excuse to invite them here. No one really took Fiona’s birthday seriously. Therefore, nobody asked for Fiona as well.
At the same time.
The Kennedy family arrived at the living hall of the Morris manor in their best dress.
Lindsay’s gown was flashier and flashy. She wore a long red gown and attracted all guests’ attention the moment she stepped into the living hall. She looked feisty.
However, she was wearing an elegant smile so that people wouldn’t notice that she was pleased by the flatteries.
Alexander quickly approached them, “Osmond, you’re here.”
“Sorry for being late. The traffic was hectic.”
“No, you’re not. You’re just in time.”
After some chatters.
“Where’s Fiona?” Lindsay asked passionately.
“She’s still getting prepared. She’ll be down in a minute.”
“I’ve prepared a present for her,” Lindsay would usually put on a mask for the outsiders.
This habit of Lindsay.
Caesar mastered it so well.
“You shouldn’t have,” Alexander quickly thanked Lindsay.
More and more people arrived at the manor.
Alexander kept greeting the new-arrived guest.
“Cameron, welcome!” Alexander welcomed Cameron with enthusiasm, “I haven’t seen you appearing in the eyes of the public. What an honour.”
“Nonsense. How can I not be here for your wife’s birthday?”
Cameron replied.
Cameron was Kingsley’s father. The leader of the four wealthiest families.
Cameron’s wife, Caroline, stood beside him, followed by his eldest son, Darren, his second son, Edward, and his youngest son, Kingsley.
All three of Cameron’s sons greeted Alexander politely.
Alexander was amiable. He told Kingsley, “I saw your presentation yesterday. I’m impressed.”
“I’m flattered. I was just being lucky,” Kingsley was humble.
“That wasn’t just luck,” Alexander affirmed, “You’re smart and bright.”
“You need to stop praising him. He’ll become cocky,” Cameron smiled, “He will need to keep up to your future son-in-law.”
“Shall I remind you that extreme humble is also an act of cockiness?” Alexander cracked a joke.
Alexander didn’t want to talk about Caesar.
At the same time, George arrived at the Morris manor with his family.
“George is here,” Alexander said.
George approached Alexander with his wife, Eunice, along with Maureen, Brandon and Bruce.
“Cameron, you’re here,” George looked at Cameron and greeted him.
The Walker family was now in-charged by the eldest son, so it was hard to see Cameron attending any social events. George never expected to see Cameron at a birthday party like this.
“Well, you’re here. How can I not?” Cameron joked with George.
