Chapter 10 Attending the Banquet

Chapter 10 Attending the Banquet

After finishing the tea, Gabriel left the Spring Teahouse.

Quietly, he found a branch of Apex Bank.

At the self-service machine outside, he inserted his Supreme Black-gold Card.

He checked his balance and entered the password.

886688!

"One, two, three... a total of ten zeros, it really is ten billion dollars!"

Gabriel almost collapsed on the machine, counting several times.

He could say with certainty that it was indeed ten billion dollars.

There was so much money!

He felt ecstatic. Regardless of whether the chaos in the Ghostly Purgatory Hall was true or not, at least the money in his account was real.

With this money, he felt like he had reached the peak of his life.

In the future, all that was left was spending money and enjoying his life.

By the way, he was an unregistered citizen and didn't have an ID card.

He didn't know if he could transfer the money without an ID card...

Early the next morning, Gabriel set off from his home around nine o'clock.

For the first time ever, he wore a white shirt and trousers. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

On his feet, he wore a pair of leather shoes worth about a hundred dollars.

This was his most expensive outfit.

He was handsome and dressed up a bit more.

Instantly, the person in the mirror became much more stylish.

Gabriel was certain that when Ava saw him like this, she would definitely drool.

With money in hand, he was not stingy and didn't hesitate to hail a taxi.

Almost exactly at ten o'clock, he arrived at Ava's house.

"Ava, it's time to go!"

This time, Gabriel didn't pick the lock with his bare hands.

Now, his identity was Ava's boyfriend, and he should take it seriously.

He had to slightly adjust his previously carefree demeanor.

"I'm coming!"

Ava opened the door.

The two of them looked at each other and were both stunned.

Ava was wearing a pink long dress, enhancing her cuteness even more.

With makeup on, her originally pretty and delicate face was more attractive.

Upon seeing her, even Gabriel was dazzled and felt the urge to know her more.

At this moment, Ava was completely obsessed as she looked at Gabriel.

With her fists clenched in front of her chest, she was really about to drool.

The man in front of her was tall and straight and looked so dashing.

He was not as unruly as before, and his temperament had changed.

He looked like... a royal prince.

He was so handsome!

He was clearly her ideal type, the boyfriend she dreamed of.

"Alright, let's go once you're ready!"

Gabriel had no intention of going inside, standing straight at the doorway.

He kept smiling.

"Okay, right away!" Ava blushed and regained her composure.

Back in the room, she changed her shoes.

Holding a purple long box, she walked out.

Just as she closed the door, she suddenly glimpsed a leather document folder in Gabriel's hand.

Curious, she asked, "What are you holding?"

"This?" Gabriel picked up the document folder. "It's a gift for my mother-in-law. It's my first time meeting her, so I can't go empty-handed!"

It was the contract he asked Leon to prepare yesterday.

It had been stamped and signed by Leon.

"You actually thought of this!" Although Ava didn't know what was inside Gabriel's document folder, she was quite touched.

It was just acting, but Gabriel put a lot of effort into it.

"I've prepared something for you!" She handed the box in her hand to Gabriel. "I bought this yesterday afternoon. It cost one hundred thousand dollars. It's a necklace with gemstones! I appreciate your gift, but let's use this later!"

She had spared no expense to win her mother's favor for Gabriel.

She just hoped that this time, she could completely get rid of Fatty Davis.

"Alright, let's go, but I don't think it will work!"

Gabriel didn't explain further and took the box.

He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Ava really had no eye for value.

The document folder in his hand was worth a billion dollars...

One hour later!

Luxury Hotel, Oakhurst!

Gabriel drove Ava's pink BMW and fabricated some identities for himself.

Although they were fabricated, there were many elements of truth in them.

But to Ava, it sounded absurd, and she believed that not a single word was true.

Gabriel even claimed to be the son of a senior executive at Apex Bank's headquarters.

Honestly, it sounded so ridiculous that she wanted to laugh.

After entering the hotel and parking the car, the two of them went straight to the second-floor Royal Hall with gifts.

Inside the hall, the music was elegant, and the atmosphere was grand.

The stage was decorated very festively.

A huge "longevity" character hung on the backdrop.

There were already quite a few guests, though not many yet.

"Mr. Book from the East Group presents an ancient painting, wishing Mrs. Foster a long life!"

"Mr. James from Cedarville Chamber of Commerce presents a jade bracelet, wishing Mrs. Foster good health and longevity!"

"......"

The Foster family was only a second-rate family in Silverwood.

But they still had a certain status in Silverwood due to their billions in assets.

The people celebrating Sophia's birthday were of high status and there were quite a few of them.

Events like this were good opportunities for these elites to socialize.

Many business partnerships and acquaintanceships started here.

In the center of the banquet hall, Sophia was wearing a red gown and heavy makeup. She had a joyful expression on her face.

She stood with her husband, Henry Foster, welcoming those distinguished guests.

Henry's health was poor, and he was a man of few words. Now he rarely involved himself in the affairs of the company.

He only attended today's event because it was Sophia's birthday party.

He had a younger brother and sister, Lucas Foster and Mary Foster.

These two had their own children and relied on Henry.

They maintained a luxurious life by leeching off the hotels of the Foster family.

In reality, Sophia was the true manager of the hotels of the Foster family, which was why the entire family was gathered around her at the moment.

The only one standing alone by the window was Mia.

She didn't like wearing formal dresses or being in a lively atmosphere.

Even on this occasion, she wore a pair of red skinny pants.

She had a cold demeanor and a calm posture.

Holding a glass of wine, she gazed at the scenery outside the window.

She kept her distance from the other family members dressed in designer clothes.

"You look amazing, Mrs. Foster, for your 50th birthday celebration. You look much younger!"

Mr. James, who wore glasses, flattered Sophia.

"Mr. James, you're too kind. I'm 50 years old, and I'm getting old!"

Sophia had a radiant smile on her face, feeling delighted.

She loved this kind of festive occasion and enjoyed the flattery from others.

Mr. James chuckled and changed his tone. "By the way, Miss Ava and Mr. Davis have become engaged. Mr. Davis will come here today to congratulate his future mother-in-law, right?"

In truth, he didn't come here for the Foster family.

Instead, he wanted to please the Davis family.

The Davis family was the top-tier prestigious family in Silverwood.

"He will definitely come!"

Sophia's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

James would definitely come, but she wasn't sure about her daughter.

She had put a lot of pressure on Ava, hoping that Ava wouldn't embarrass her today.

"Miss Ava has arrived!"

Just then, someone shouted at the entrance.

This shout immediately drew everyone's attention.

"This wicked girl is finally here!"

Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the voice.

It seemed like Ava had compromised.

However, when she looked over, she was surprised to see a very handsome man standing beside Ava.

At that moment, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Ava's arrival was very eye-catching.

She instantly became the center of attention in the hall.

"Happy birthday, Mom!"

Ava rushed over in her high heels.

Like a spoiled child, she threw herself into her mother's arms.

She held some resentment toward Sophia for arranging her engagement without her consent.

But she truly missed Sophia after not seeing Sophia for half a year.

She couldn't fake her emotions. When she saw Sophia, she just wanted to hug Sophia.

Gabriel stood behind Ava, squinting his eyes and smiling.

This banquet was quite lively.

As he scanned the room, his gaze suddenly froze.

Because at this moment, his gaze met with Mia's.

Mia's face also showed surprise.

"Why is Mia here? Is she also attending the banquet?"

Gabriel was astonished, and an idea suddenly flashed across his mind.

Ava's last name was Foster, and Mia's last name was also Foster.

Ava had mentioned that she had an older sister.

Could it be that Mia was Ava's elder sister?

Thinking this, he became unsettled, and his face was filled with embarrassment...
