The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 2228

“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my father’s 50th birthday!”

With everyone watching, Curtis walked up to the crowd and spoke, displaying a graceful demeanor that a noble heir should have.

“Mr. Lake, you’re too kind. We naturally need to congratulate Old Master on his 50th birthday!”

“That’s right. The Lake family has contributed a lot to Ocean City’s development over the years. We should all congratulate him!”

“Hahaha, Old Master Lake is still as energetic as before. He doesn’t look old at all! If you ask me, today isn’t the birthday of an old man but a young man!”

Everyone flattered him, humbling themselves as they spoke.

Hearing the compliments, Curtis smiled and said again, “My father’s the star today. I won’t steal his thunder!”

With that said, Curtis stepped back, and the head of the Lake family, Kennedy Lake, went up to the crowd.

“I’m glad you could be here to celebrate my 50th birthday. My home is your home today. Let’s all enjoy ourselves!” Kennedy smiled with a hint of hidden pride.

The Lake family was now powerful enough to ignore all of Ocean City’s dignitaries. Of course, that did not include Mr. Winters.

Standing at the peak of influence in Ocean City, the Lake family dared not state any bad opinions of him, no matter how strong they became.

With a round of applause, Kennedy sat down at Mr. Winters’ table and near to Mr. Winters.
