*****

Alex immediately sensed the festive atmosphere within the restaurant upon walking in.

Not only that, the place was presently brimming with attractive young men and ladies who were elegantly attired and currently in groups, conversing amongst themselves joyfully.

Because Alex's entrance was exceptionally unassuming, nobody took notice of him, well... not that Alex cared whether he was noticed or not.

Upon entering, Alex spotted several familiar faces, including all his classmates, some schoolmates he knew, the haughty guy who had his engagement on the same day as his, his fiancee's family, and some other less significant individuals.

Also, Alex saw Cliff Sotto, who he assumed definitely wasn't aware of the fate that had befallen his family yet, presently laughing heartily with a lady, exuding an aura of wealth and handsomeness.

Observing him for a while, particularly his unbridled excitement, Alex couldn't help but start feeling sorry for him.

    ***** Dami had arrived at the venue much earlier than most of the people here, but because she was acquainted personally with Jewel’s Mother, she was directed upstairs as Jewel’s Mother was attempting to foster a friendship between her and her daughter. This was also why Jewel hadn’t arrived much earlier, before all the scenes that happened around Alex, because she had encountered her mother and Dami the moment she exited the room. With that encounter, her mother had directly wasted time, busily introducing Dami to her as her friend's daughter and wanting them to be friends. ..... Back to the present, while Alex was grappling with an unexpected headache due to the unexpected person he saw, the unexpected person who had already spotted him suddenly flashed him a surprised grin followed by an excited one.

    ***** Acting as if he were impervious to the crowd's profound shock, Alex delicately placed the jade hairpin into Jewel's outstretched hand, a gentle smile gracing his lips. "I thought this jade hairpin would look perfect on you, so I brought it for you," he murmured to Jewel, whose eyes were now aglow with excitement as she beheld the jade hairpin in her hand. For reasons she couldn't explain, Jewel suddenly felt a deep bond establish itself between herself and the jade hairpin in her hand. It was as if the hairpin possessed an innate protective power that would shield her from harm as long as it was with her. After what seemed like an eternity, everyone finally regained their senses, and a flurry of comments and observations about the jade hairpin erupted from the crowd.

    ***** The moment everybody heard Cliff's accusatory question, they scrutinized Alex with gazes filled to the brim with questions. But before they could process what was said, an angry snort sounded. “Steal, you say? Why would my master need to appropriate something like this?” The speaker was Dami, and right now, she was glaring fiercely at Cliff who had just accused Alex. But everyone was once again perplexed and didn't know what to think anymore once they felt Dami's furiousness. Just at this moment, the old man glanced curiously at Cliff and his eyes flashed slightly. “Weren't you from the Sotto family?” Cliff's eyes widened the moment he heard this and he suddenly became excited. Flashing everybody with a self-satisfied smile, he rushed forward with his chest propelled forward to reply to the question respectfully. Witnessing this, everybody suddenly became filled with jealousy, wondering why they hadn't spoken first. But once again, before they could speak or regret mu

Everything proved to be astonishing for them that even after everything settled down, nobody could regain their composure again. *** Presently, in a corner of the hall, Cliff appeared deeply troubled. For some reason, he couldn't help but recall the matter with Crest Conglomerate and their sudden hatred for his family, which now, thinking about it seemed to have something to do with Alex. Despite wanting to deny the possibility that Alex was involved or had the power to influence such a massive company, recent events made it seem plausible. 'Why?! How can it be that this nobody possesses such a remarkable background?! I refuse to believe it!' Inste

But before then, the prevailing topic of discussion had shifted away from Alex to Cliff. Yes, Cliff. Initially, after everyone was disdainful of Alex for gifting a lady items that could make him one of the wealthiest people in the town, they gradually shifted their focus away from him, ignoring him completely as they all thought he wasn't worthy of their time.However, just as it was time for the birthday celebrant to begin dancing, someone screamed, startling everyone.

Feeling weightless and liberated, she sat up erect on the bed when suddenly, the memories from the previous day came rushing back to her mind. Immediately, a broad smile graced her face, and she began to grin foolishly to herself. Instinctively, her hand reached to her neck, which currently bore an exceedingly exquisite necklace.
