Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 342

The next day, Old Master Garrett suddenly announced that he would hold a birthday banquet for himself in advance.

Old Master Garrett was seventy-six years old this year. Although it was not a milestone birthday, at this age, being able to hold a birthday banquet every year was a joyous event itself.

Besides, he was currently seriously ill. If a birthday banquet could be held at this time and counteract bad luck, naturally no one in the Garrett family would say anything.

When Nell received the news, it was already the next afternoon.

Looking at the invitation card presented in front of her, she was actually a little surprised.

After all, Old Master Garrett did not look like someone who would believe in luck.

Furthermore, he had initiated this himself, but anyone who had ever been ill knew that when they feel unwell, they just want to be left in peace; not many would enjoy the excitement.

However, the invitations were all sent. So no matter the reason, the show must go on.

The birthday banquet would be held on the evening of the weekend, and the venue would be at the old Garrett residence.

In fact, not many people were invited as only those from the Four Great Clans, as well as some other wealthy and famous families from the capital received the invitation.

On this day, Nell arrived very early. Because it was the weekend and Lizzy did not have to go to school, Nell brought her along.

Though Gideon had something on at his company so he would only arrive later.

On the contrary, it was Old Master Leith and Old Madam Quinton who followed her.

After all, they had been friends for decades. Although Old Master Leith seldom went out due to his poor health, he usually sent Gideon over if there was something on.

However, since today was a birthday banquet, he attended himself.

The old Garrett residence was very lively as countless people came and went bearing gifts and wishes.

Nell first took Lizzy to wish Old Master Garrett before they went into the dining room at the back to wait for both Old Master Leith and the old madam.

However, instead of old master and old madam, Tara and Owen arrived first.

After the previous event, Tara and Owen had obtained the consent of the two families to hold an engagement ceremony.

Now they foresee that the wedding would be officially held at the end of the year.

Nell was very happy for them, so she chatted with them for a while.

With a smile, Owen said, "When I came in, I'd already met Second Elder Brother and Uncle Leith. There are many people outside and I think they’ve got a hold of them both. I think it’s going to take them a while to come in."

Nell nodded. She knew that because Gideon’s and Old Master Leith’s identity, naturally many people would want to play up to them when they show up at such events.

Although the Leith family would not be associated with these people, they still had to give face.

Therefore, Old Master Garrett was not the only one who was busy but the other patriarchs of the Four Great Clans were too.

Nell looked at Tara and smiled. "When are you going to get married?"

Tara said softly, "Probably by the end of the year. The research institute is too busy now, and we can't spare time for the time being. We have already discussed that once the current project has been completed, we’ll have the wedding at the end of the year.”

Nell smiled and said, "Then I will congratulate you in advance."

Tara revealed a shy and sweet smile.

Owen looked at the direction of the entrance and suddenly moved forward. He then said in a low voice, "I heard the reason that old master held this birthday banquet in advance this time is not only for his birthday but also for Celine's name."

Nell was taken aback.

"Name? What do you mean?"
