Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.
Richard asked, "Which Howard?"
Many people also had the same question, because Richard didn't seem to be acquainted with anyone with the surname Howard.
"It's the Howard Family in H City, the richest one!" The messenger said with a red face, so excited that his whole body was trembling.
"What?!"
Richard was shocked. In his panic, he spilled all the dishes in front of him and smashed them on his feet, causing him a pain. But he couldn't care less about the pain. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Jason! Are you sure? Are they really from the Howard Family in H City?!"
Jason swallowed heavily and nodded hard. He was more serious than ever. "Grandpa, I'm absolutely sure!"
Hiss...
Richard gasped, and the others seemed to be in a daze. They couldn't believe it for quite a while until they finally realized it was true.
Some even thought they were hallucinating, so they pinched their thighs, or slapped themselves. "God, it hurts. It's real!"
Richard said in a hurry, "Why are you still standing there? Invite them in, hurry!"
They didn't understand why the prominent Howard Family would come to congratulate Richard. This was like the aristocracy in ancient times who took the initiative to give gifts to civilians to please them.
"Did I hear it right? The Howard Family with tens of billions would send someone to celebrate grandpa's birthday? When did grandpa become such a big shot?"
"Money, money! It's the Howard Family we are talking about here. If we can make acquaintance with them, it surely won't be long before we all get rich, hahaha..."
"When they get in, all of you should cheer up. You must try to please the Howard Family. This is a big chance for Scott Family!"
All the Scott Family members were extremely excited.
Just as everyone was curious about how the Howard Family would care to come to celebrate Richard's birthday, Elizabeth suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted, "I understand. It must be for Brian's sake!"
Her words made everyone turn to Brian.
Brian was obviously stunned.
He had not been familiar with the Howard Family. At best, he had only spoken to Dylan yesterday. Was it really because of him? Besides, it was Samuel paying them a visit in person, the owner of the Howard Family.
Phoebe also opened her eyes wide and looked at Brian incredibly. Could Brian really pull that off?
Richard believed it and said excitedly, "Brian, did you invite Patriarch of the Howard Family to celebrate grandpa's birthday? You're really grandpa's good son-in-law, hahaha!"
Brian was more than satisfied by this compliment, which made him also believe that they had specially come to celebrate Richard's birthday at his invitation. He coughed twice and said, "Grandpa, I am well acquainted with Dylan. Grandpa, on your 70th birthday, I took the initiative to invite Dylan to celebrate grandpa's birthday. I didn't expect him to bring along Samuel. Grandpa, you wouldn't be angry about that, right?"
Richard was brightened and said "Good" three times in a row. He was extremely satisfied with Brian. He immediately said to Phoebe," Phoebe, Brian is a good man. He's a hundred times better than your useless ex-husband! After you marry Brian, you must fulfill your duty as his wife, understand?"
Immediately, the other unmarried women in the Scott Family were getting envious, jealous, and hateful. They all wished they would be the one to marry Brian.
Phoebe bit her lips gently and did not say anything. For some reason, she thought of Tom, what Tom said to her today, that Dylan had let Logan go because of him and not because of Brian.
Ten minutes ago.
