“God, please bless my family with longevity and prosperous offspring. May everything be smooth sailing 

for us all.” 

With a walking stick in hand, Demi looked at her children and grandchildren happily. 

Today was her seventieth birthday, and incidentally, her family business had revived which made her day even better. It could be said that today was the happiest she had been. 

Besides her family members, the other people who attended her banquet today were influential figures in Nebula City. 

“Granny, I wish you a long and happy life ahead! Here is a red packet for you,” Jacob wished Demi. 

“Granny, I wish you health and a good life! These are some jewelry and jade carvings for you,” Henry followed. 

“Happy seventieth birthday to you! I have a gold plague for you,” the manager of the Great Sea Corporation said. 

The greetings went on. 

All the guests that came brought expensive gifts with them. Anyone would be envious of her for being able to receive such presents. 

The total value of these gifts would probably exceed a million. 

Just then, a voice suddenly caught everyone’s attention. 

“Granny, may you be forever youthful. I have a painting here that was drawn by the late Edric Clifforde for you,” Alex spoke as he stepped forward to give her the piece of artwork. 

Everyone, including Heather, was surprised to hear that Alex bought an ancient painting from the renaissance era. 

An authentic painting from the late artist would have cost him at least five hundred thousand. Did Alex really buy her the original one? 

In shock, everyone curiously looked at the painting in his hands. 

The guests knew that Alex was just the Jennings family’s live–in son–in–law and they wondered how he could afford to buy a genuine painting that costs this much. 

Certainly, he looked like he could not afford it. 

On the other side, Henry and Harper glared at Alex with hatred. 

Last night, Alex had shoved broken pieces of a phone down Henry’s throat, and he had to rush to the 

hospital to get them out. 

Even so, his throat got cut by the broken shards, and it still felt sore. 

“That’s enough, that must be a knockoff from a flea market. Are you trying to embarrass, Granny?” When Alex went forward to pass his gift to Demi, Jacob stopped him.

Jacob knew what had happened last night and was unhappy with Alex.

Not only was Henry his brother–in–law but he was also part of the Hale family. Besides, Jacob had planned on riding on the Hales‘ coattails in the future. 

Never would he expected that Alex would dare to hurt Henry. 

Nevertheless, this was an opportunity for Jacob to stand up for Henry. 

Demi took a glimpse of the painting in Alex’s hands and frowned. She did not believe that it was the original painting either. 

It was humiliating for her to receive a knockoff. 

“You think I bought a fake painting from a flea market?” Alex looked at Jacob and scoffed. 

“It must be fake. Do you really think you could afford to buy the original painting?” Jacob mocked.
