After all, Phoenix Corporation was the leading company in the world. The Hunter family was nothing compared to them. Moreover, the Supreme One also had the terrifying Supreme Nexus that the Hunter family wouldn’t dare provoke.
At this point, most of the guests had arrived, and the banquet was about to begin. However, there was an important ceremony before that–the gift–giving session.
Lucas was the first to stand up with a vase in his hand “Grandpa, this antique vase cost me about eight million dollars. I wish you a very happy birthday.”
Elijah nodded with a smile, clearly pleased with the gift.
Next, Jordan stood up and handed a painting to Elijah. “With this painting, I hope that you’ll live a long and prosperous life.”
Lyra smirked proudly, “Grandpa, this painting cost over ten million dollars.
“As expected of the Hunter family. What a generous gift. It is indeed remarkable”
“I’ve seen that painting before! It was drawn by a renowned artist, and it holds great value,” someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Some of the young ladies were practically swooning, wishing to offer themselves to Jordan.
“Thank you, Mr. Hunter,” Elijah said happily, unable to wipe the smile off his face.
The value of the painting was one thing, but what trully delighted him was Jordan’s sincerity and attitude. Once the Smith family allied with the Hunter family, the Smith family would quickly regain
its former glory and perhaps even surpass it. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Lyra was glowing with pride, and her gaze fell on Sebastian. The guests also turned their attention to the small box in Sebastian’s hand
Some people chuckled.
In just a short while, Sebastian’s reputation had spread far and wide. Now, everyone knew about him. He was just a good–for–nothing who latched onto women.
What could he possibly give as a gift to Elijah?
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take out your gift Lucas sneered, wanting to embarrass Sebastian.
Without a word, Sebastian opened the box, revealing a small porcelain bottle inside.
Lucas scoffed. “Although I’m not an expert, this bottle looks modern. Did you buy it from a dollar store?”
People around shook their heads upon seeing it, and even Lyra’s face fell. It was evident that the small porcelain bottle couldn’t possibly be an antique.
Sebastian smiled meaningfully. “I never said that the bottle was the gift. I’m giving what’s inside the bottle.”
With that, Sebastian took out the bottle and handed it to Elijah. “This is a pill that I’d made. It will keep sickness and troubles away from you.”
Lucas burst into laughter. “This is hilarious. It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen someone giving a pill as a gift. Aren’t you just cursing Grandpa?”
“That’s right. You’re clearly cursing Grandpa. What are you planning?” Lyra piped up.
“You Eve under our roof. Yet, you not only fail to appreciate Grandpa’s kindness but also dare to curse him. You’re nothing but an ungrateful wretch.” Belinda sneered.
Jordan mocked, “You should’ve told me that you couldn’t afford a gift. I’ll spare you some change as long as you beg me.”
Lyra hastily echoed, “You’d better thank Mr. Hunter. Any space change from him will be enough to feed you for a lifetime.”
“Aside from my parents, I will never beg anyone! Sebastian snorted coldly.
Lyra snorted. “You’re so arrogant. Do you know who Mr. Hunter is? You will never reach his level. In fact, you must have been born under a lucky star to be in the same room as him right now.”
“That’s right. You should know your place,” Belinda added.
Ronan and Evelyn also glared at him.
Natalie was furious at them. She was about to stand up but was stopped by a look from Sebastian.
Sebastian looked at the gloomy Elijah. “This is not an ordinary pill. It can cure illness and detoxify poison. You’re suffering from an incurable disease, Grandpa. You probably won’t live much longer without this pill “
