With that thought, Holden picked up his phone and called George, the general manager of a branch in Sivro
George said. “Mr. Evans, what a day to gracewith your call. He had a flattery smile.
Holden said, “George, | do have a favor to ask”
George said, “Mr. Evans, please, nit. If it’s within my power, I'll do it without hesitation.”
Holden said, “I'd like you to deliver a birthday gift on my behalf to a friend in Sivro, under the nof the Evans
family”
George asked, “Who is this friend you speak of?”
Holden said, “Mc Flysia Rosewood”
George replied, “Consider it done. Il take care of it right away!
Holden said. “The birthday gift will be sent over shortly. The banquet has already started, so I'd appreciate it if
you could hurry?
George replied, “You can count on me. After hanging up, he looked puzzled, He picked up an invitation from the
side table. He thought. It seems that Mr. Evans and this Ms. Elysia Rosewood have a rather close relationship
It was said that the Davis family had quietly spread the word to undermine the Rosewood family for this birthday
banquet. George hadn't planned on attending, but he didn’t expect Holden to step
The banquet had been going on for a while, and the number of guests arriving at the Rosewood residence could
be counted on one hand
Coupled with the sudden news that broke online, no matter how Scott tried to control his emotions, a clear
displeasure was evident on his face.
Scott thought. Is the Davis family so eager to make my family the laughingstock of Sivro? What a cunning plan!”
Bella had been hosting guests in the hall, but after enduring the open mockery and veiled insults from several

Elysia.
She thought. If it weren't for Elysia, why would the Davis family act this way! And why would | have to endure
the ridicule of these ladies? In her subconscious, she also thought that Elysia marrying into the Davis family was
an overreach.
Yet, Elysia had chosen to reject the marriage proposal. Bella blamed Elysia for not knowing herself well enough.
Initially, Bella was happy when Elysia rejected the engagement as it meant Emma would have a chance to marry
into the Davis family.
But after the dream shattered, she felt that Elysia was being ungrateful, bringing such a blow to their family.
At this moment, Emma was holding her phone, grinning as she looked at the viral article online. She scrolled
across the screen. Seeing another critical comment about Elysia, her joy knew no bounds. The more blunt the
criticism, the happier she became.
She never thought there would ca day when Elysia would be the target of public criticism. She thought. The
taste of being overwhelmingly criticized by public opinion is unpleasant. | once went through such a cyberstorm.
This time, it has finally cto Elysia
As Emma looked up, she happened to see Justin, dressed in a white suit. She paused for a moment; she didn't
expect Justin to attend Elysia’s birthday banquet
In the past, when it was her birthday, Justin always used the excuse of being busy with studies and having no
tto gently decline her invitations.
Although Emma knew these were all excuses, since Justin treated everyone the sway, she didn’t feel any
disparity in her heart.
She thought, Justin attends Elysia’s birthday party. He treats Elysia differently. Why everything is different when
it comes to Elysia? What is so special about Elysia?
Thinking of this, Emma averted her gaze and slowly walked towards Justin. As she approached, she smiled and
said, “Justin, | didn’t expect you to cto Elysia’s birthday party. | thought you wouldn't have tto attend”
Upon hearing this, Justin merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment, without saying a word.
Emma sensed his distant demeanor, and it felt as if her heart was brutally stabbed. She thought. He didn’t treat

As this thought popped into her mind, Emma was unwilling to believe it. After forcing herself to calm down, she
pretended to be fine. With a faint smile, she said, “Why haven't | seen your parent?”
Hearing this, Justin furrowed his brows. He thought, ‘Robert and Emma have a good relationship How could she
no know the Davis family suppressing the Rosewood family and making things difficult for Elysia Although they
are sister, they are not blood related
Justin had heard sof the gossips from school before. He didn’t think Emina was as innocent as she appeared
to be in all of this
Seeing Justin’s silence. Emma had no choice but to continue, Didn't they come?”
Justin nodded, then bypassed her, not giving her the chance to ask any more questions.
Emma watched his retreating
ting figure, a bit dated. He was close to her, but she felt like there was a great distance between them.
At this moment, Scott's expression was struggling to remain composed. The guests present were also restless,
looking for an excuse to leave.
Just as they were pondering what pretext to use, they saw Paul rushing in and whispering into Scott's ear,

“Mr. Zane Hartley has arrived
Upon hearing this, Scott's eyes widened in shock. He looked at Paul with a horrified expression and asked. “You
mean the Mr. Zane Hartley from the capital
Paul quickly nodded and said. “Yes”
After a moment of astonishment, Scott instructed Paul, “Quick, usher Mr. Zane Hartley in He deliberately raised
his voice.
Hearing his words, the guests present had varied expressions. They wondered, “Which Mr. Zane Hartley! The one
from the capital
But then they thought it impossible. It was said that Zane never attended banquets, they didn’t believe Zane
would cto a birthday party like this. In other words, they didn’t think the Rosewood family have that much
influence
However, they were quite curious about who this big shot was that could make Scott show such a demeanor. So
the guests who had been looking for an excuse to leave instantly dropped that thought. They decided to see this
important figure first.
Before Scott could even reach the door, he saw Zane walking towards him. Upon recognizing Zane, his face was
all smiles. He greeted. “Mr. Hartley, your visit is an honor. | apologize for not being there to welcyou earlier.
Zane said. “No need for that. | heard that your daughter is celebrating her birthday today. | happened to be
passing by and thought I'd cin and share in the joy. | hope you won't thinkpresumptuous.”
“Not at all! Your presence at my humble abode is an honor for my family Scott said, ushering Zane in
The guests present were all taken aback upon seeing Zane. They didn’t expect it to really be Zan. In the business
circles of Clusia, Zane was a well- known figure. They never thought that a person like Zane would attend the
Rosewood family’s banquet
They thought. ‘Zane has always been known for his keen business acumen. His choice to support the Rosewood
family now, could it mean he sees potential in them?
