Marisa and Morel reached the front of the party hall. They stepped inside the Kurgan family's magnificent party hall, which exuded luxury from every corner. The high ceilings were adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers, reflecting light that created an elegant and mesmerizing atmosphere. The walls were decorated with softly colored silk fabrics, and artistically placed fresh flowers added to the decor's beauty."Wow, look how magnificent this place is," Marisa whispered to Morel, mesmerized by the beauty of her surroundings. "This place is like a story in a fairy tale."Morel smiled and nodded. "It really is marvelous. They didn't mess around with the decorations."The gleaming marble floor beneath their feet reinforced the glamor. In the center of the room were long tables laden with delicacies and classy drinks arranged neatly and attractively. Every detail was carefully thought out, from the intricately designed porcelain plates to the crystal glasses glittered in the lamplight
Tucker sighed deeply, trying to contain his mounting anger. "Smartass about fashion, huh? Looks like someone's been listening to too much advice from the butler," Tucker said sarcastically, trying to insult Morel back.Morel raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I'm not a smartass, but I saw the outfit you wore at the launch one year ago."Tucker was getting annoyed, feeling his pride being trampled on. "You don't know anything about fashion, Morel. Just because your waiter gives you information doesn't mean you understand everything."Tucker paused, his face turning bright red as he looked at Marisa's cell phone screen, which displayed irrefutable evidence. "Wow, it's true, that outfit has been around for a year, just like you said, Morel," Marisa said innocently while continuing to check the information on her cell phone. It turned out that during her silence, Marisa was looking for information about her clothes by searching for the brand of clothes that Tucker had mentioned earlier
Amidst the thunderous applause, some people started talking amongst themselves, impressed and curious about Tucker's gift."Isn't that tea very rare?" whispered one guest. "I heard it can only be grown once a year, and even then, there are very few of them."The other person nodded in agreement, his eyes wide with amazement. "Yes, I heard that too. This tea is really special. It can cost tens of millions of dollars for 10 grams, and he's giving away 500 grams? That's very expensive.""It's really amazing," continued another guest. "I once heard a story about this tea from a collector. They say that there are only a handful of people in the world who can get this tea. Tucker must have gone through a lot of effort to get it.""And to give it as a gift? That shows how much he respects Mr. Keirg," said another in a tone full of admiration. "It's not just a gift. It's a symbol of deep appreciation."Rumors continued to spread among the guests. "I can't believe he was able to get that much.
The guests stared at the small box held by Morel. Their confusion and curiosity were evident. One of them whispered, "Can the contents be more luxurious than the extremely rare tea, or is it the other way around?"The other person nodded, half-believing. "I doubt it could be better than tea from China. But how can Lord Keirg respect it so much?" the guest muttered to himself while still looking at Morel from his seat.Tucker, who saw the small box in Morel's hand, burst out laughing. "What, a small box?" he said in a mocking tone. "Haha, how could you want to give a gift to someone so valuable with such a small gift?" Tucker continued, trying to demean Morel in front of everyone.However, Morel remained calm and undeterred by Tucker's mockery. He strode steadily towards Mr. Keirg, his calculating eyes looking directly at the party host. The atmosphere became increasingly tense. All the guests held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.In the midst of the silence, Morel
Tucker, still feeling the bitter defeat, couldn't help himself anymore. "That jade must be a fake. There's no way someone like him could have something so precious and legendary. Morel is an ordinary person, not from a rich family or conglomerate. That Dragon Mountain is impossible for him to possess." he said in a voice full of angerThe crowd of guests was shocked to hear Tucker's statement, and the party atmosphere instantly became tense. All eyes were on Morel and Mr. Keirg, waiting for their reactions.Tucker, feeling increasingly confident in his words, continued, "Although Morel is indeed a conglomerate, there's no way that I and all the guests here have never seen his face at all. How could someone of such status remain unknown?"Rumors began to spread among the guests. Some speculated that the jade Morel had brought was a fake. "How could someone we've never heard of be in possession of Dragon Mountain?" a guest whispered. "Maybe it's just a trick to get attention.""The jade
Tucker, despite being cornered, still tried to fight back. With a trembling voice still filled with disbelief, he said, "But, do you really know him, Mr. Keirg? He is just an ordinary person. I know you're a very good person, but you don't need to pretend to know him to help him because then you'll only be inconveniencing yourself."Mr. Keirg gave Tucker a sharp look, his anger rising again. "Tucker, you really don't know when to stop," he said coldly. "I don't need to pretend to know anyone. I know Mr. Morel very well and better than you think. I know Mr. Morel very well. He's no ordinary person, but I won't mention who he really is because it's not within my authority."The guests started whispering again, feeling confused and wanting to know more about the relationship between Mr. Keirg and Morel. Their gaze shifted from the frightened Tucker to Morel, who remained calm. The atmosphere in the room turned into one filled with curiosity and speculation. "Why would Mr. Keirg say that?
Morel and Mr. Keirg chatted intensely on stage, expressing concern and appreciation. Mr. Keirg seemed to respect Morel, his gestures showing deep reverence greatly. Their conversation seemed very serious, as if they were discussing something significant.Amidst the crowd of guests, a rumour began to develop. One of the guests whispered to his companion, "Look how much Lord Keirg respects him. Exactly which family is Morel from? Why does Lord Keirg respect him so much?"His companion nodded in agreement, then added, "I'm curious too. We've never heard of Morel in our social circles. Who exactly is he?"The other guests also speculated a lot about Morel's identity. Whispers filled the room, adding to the mysterious atmosphere of the evening. Some guests tried to recall if they had heard of Morel before, while others assumed that Morel must have an extraordinary background to have earned such a great honour from Lord Keirg.Marisa, standing not far from the stage, also looked very curiou
Morel 65Morel was now in his room located within the Kurgan family island. It was quiet and cozy, with a relaxing view of the sea outside the window. Morel sat at his desk, looking over the work report that Doris had prepared. The report was spread out neatly on the table, ready for inspection.Morel opened the report and began to read it carefully. Within the first few pages, he saw that Marisa's performance was excellent and satisfactory. Marisa was a negotiation expert whose work showed great dedication and skill. Morel smiled a little, feeling proud of Marisa's achievement.Not long after that, the phone on Morel's desk rang. He reached for the phone and saw that it was Doris calling. Morel answered the call calmly."Hello, Doris," Morel greeted politely."Hello, Master Morel," Doris replied in a respectful tone. "Have you read the work report I have summarized?""Yes, I have started reading it," Morel replied as he held up the report file. "I just looked at the part about Marisa
