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.

He emerged from one side of a sleek black Porsche, while Cathy appeared from the other.

Dressed in a gown of royal blue velvet, Cathy was complemented by Kristopher’s matching, hand-tailored bespoke suit.

Their striking attire made them the immediate focus of attention.

Murmurs filled the air around her.

“Isn’t that Cathy, the actress who just came back from overseas, with her boyfriend?”

“Yes, that’s Kristopher, the CEO of Cox Group. Today’s his grandfather’s birthday, so he’s introduced his girlfriend to the family.”

“They’ve already been introduced to each other’s families. Looks like they might even talk about getting married.”
