Chapter 21:

Three days later, the grand banquet hall at the Star Hotel was aglow, buzzing with lively excitement.

Despite Anthony’s request for a modest birthday gathering this year, the turnout was even larger than before, no doubt due to his grandson now leading the Cox Group as CEO.

Belinda, clutching a present, waited at a crosswalk when she noticed Kristopher.
