How did Phoenix Group hear of Mrs Perry's birthday party?Everyone was shocked.The man cleared his throat meaningfully when no one replied to him. “Sorry, may I know who Mrs Perry is?” He asked again as everyone was too shocked to say a word.Phoenix Group is one of the most important and influential groups in Falcone state. Sending gifts to someone like Perry's family was considered a high honour.“She's our grandmother!” Morris said quickly.Mrs Perry moved forward, with a wide smile on her face. “I am. Did you say you are from Miss Alessia Anderson?”The man nodded once. “Yes ma’am. And here is what she has for you_”Just as he said this, four men walked inside carrying one or two things. They walked to Mrs Perry and started presenting the gifts to her.Mrs Perry took the first gift with a sudden gasp. “Is this Chinese Famille-Rose Baluster Vase?”The man nodded with a smile. “Very well, ma’am.”Mrs Perry couldn't believe it. She ran her fingers around the vase. She had seen a pic

Amidst the jubilation, Morris and Mendy couldn't discuss. But Morris was constantly looking at him.Morris could see that Mendy was angry and he knew what that would be for him. He needed to pacify him.“Grandmother! Don't you think Mr Mendy should be invited to the party as well?” Morris said suddenly.“That's right!” One of Mia's cousins, Rosaline added quickly. “Mr Mendy should really be invited,” she said teasingly.“Yes, he's not like some useless son-in-law!” Another supported.“Yes, mother. I also think he should be invited,” Morris' father, Philip said eventually. He had been quiet since the party started.Mia groaned inwardly. She could not talk. She felt even more embarrassed. Mrs Perry nodded once. “That's right. Mr Mendy Karim is invited to the business party that will come up in two days,” she announced.Morris nodded happily and looked at Mendy.“Thank you so much, Mrs Perry,” Mendy responded, with a sly smile. He couldn't stop thinking of how Kevin could have gotten

Alessia walked to her desk and pulled out the drawer. She took a card and walked back to Kevin.“I've had this prepared for you the moment I established this plaza,” she explained and stretched out a black card with edges of gold.Kevin took it and regarded it for a moment. It had “Kevin Di Lorenzo” boldly inscribed on it.“It's a black card specially made for you. I knew you didn't die. So, I had a certain amount deposited in it every time. I don't know how much you have it in now but it's big enough for a black card,” she explained.Kevin felt impressed. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “Impressive,” he remarked.Alessia smiled, feeling proud of herself. It looked like Lord Phoenix was proud of her. “I knew you were going to show up. I just didn't know when. I didn't for once lose hope on you.”Kevin looked at her and patted her on the head. “That's why you are my little cat.”Alessia blushed slightly.“Since you are leaving for the Falcone state, I will book you a flight i

The stewardess felt a stab of annoyance. Kevin was not only poor but also stubborn. She thought she could let things go away quietly and save his face. That was her being kind but she wouldn't do that anymore.“Leave now and you won't be arrested. If you get arrested, you will never be allowed on Phoenix Airlines again,” The stewardess warned. “Not that you will be able to afford it anyway,” she mocked.People around them laughed.“Exactly!” The woman from earlier supported her. “I just don't know how he was able to sneak past the guards. Phoenix Airway is way better than this. I don't expect this kind of thing here!”The stewardess turned to the woman with an apologetic expression. “I'm so sorry ma’am. We will take care of the whole situation,” she apologized.Everyone who has ever used Phoenix Airways is always rich, and the stewardess knew how much that would help her. Most of the time, he could get tips. So, she didn't want to offend anyone.“Don't worry, everything is going to be

Kevin was shocked. “That isn't fair. I got here first. The suite is mine. You can as well look for shelter elsewhere.”The lady laughed as if she couldn't believe who was talking. “Is he about to cry? Oh, he's so pitiful”The man joined in for a moment. He became sober almost immediately l. “Don't worry, I will give you $5,000 to get yourself a nice room befitting your status around here,” he said pompously.Kevin scoffed and looked at the receptionist. “I got here first.”“Well, it's not a matter of who got it first. You can't afford it! You should leave and go look for one that's worthy of you.” “Yes! Max is being kind,” the woman added. “He's going to give you a whole $5000. You should take it and be grateful,” she said mockingly.Max moved closer to the receptionist, with a wide smile on his face. “So, prepare the room for me. I will give you an extra $5,000 for your stress.”The receptionist was overjoyed. “Thank you so much, sir! I will_”“I'm taking the room,” Kevin said sudd
