The Legendary Man novel Chapter 18

The Legendary Man Chapter 18

Soon came the next day-the birthday of Anderson Blackwood.

As the head of the most affluent family in the whole of Jadeborough, his birthday party was attended by distinguished figures from all over the city.

In other words, the birthday party was, in fact, a gathering for the upper-class society. Those who wanted to climb up the rungs of the social ladder would do anything to get an invitation card to the party. It was rumored that someone had offered eight hundred thousand just to buy one.

Even so, no one was willing to sell it.

The backyard of the Blackwood residence had an area of about a few hundred square meters.

At that moment, it was packed to the brim, with most of the guests being respectable figures in Jadeborough, including chairpersons of construction companies, managers of shopping malls, and government officials from different departments.

In other words, all the rich and powerful big guns of Jadeborough were there.

It was a splendid party where everyone could not help but be floored by the Blackwood family’s connections.

That was the sight that greeted Josephine, Margaret, and Connor when they arrived in the backyard.

Although Margaret often oppressed and insulted Jonathan in a savage manner, she was not important enough to get a seat in the first ten rows.

With a social standing like theirs, they could only take their seats in a corner in the last row.

If Connor’s father, Hugo Smith, were not too proud to attend the party, they would not have gotten the opportunity to take their seats in the last row.

“So this is what the most influential family in Jadeborough is capable of. What a grand party!” Margaret commented after they took their seats.

She was already in her forties, but it was actually her first time attending such a posh party.

So this is what an upper-class social event looks like. I’ve always wondered what it is like. Now, I finally get to see it with my own eyes!

“Shush, keep it down. You don’t want the other guests to overhear your comments and ridicule us, do you?” Connor gestured for her to lower her voice. “They might think we’re country bumpkins!”

“Ridicule us? None of them had spared us a glance!” Margaret pursed her lips.

No one would pay attention to us three when our seats are the least favorable ones in the entire backyard, only a few meters away from the bathroom!

“You were the one who demanded to attend the party!” Connor complained. “I told you Jonathan wouldn’t make it in, but you insisted on coming to watch him make a fool of himself. What if we ended up being the laughing stock instead of him?”

He had no intention of attending the Blackwood family’s party where everyone would make fun of him.

After all, the Smith family was not qualified enough to attend a party of such scale.
