In the business world, most people didn't see eye to eye. However, even sworn enemies had to put aside their differences every once in a while! Being able to put on a jolly faqade and make things look perfect on the surface required skills, too.

On the other side, Hallie was expressionless. Obviously, Penny was more considerate. She laughed on the spot.

"You don't need to say that. We are family. It's understandable!"

At this time, some acquaintances came over to greet Penny. Alicia naturally stepped aside.

When she visited Grandma a few days ago, Alicia found out that a friend from her hometown had just recovered from a serious illness. She decided to organize a tourist group to visit the famous mountains, as well as to pray for blessings at Deering Hills. This would probably be the last gathering of this group. Therefore, Grandma wouldn't be around these days.

Since it was the birthday party of someone younger in the family, there was no need for her to be back.

Since Grandma and Frederick weren't around, although her identity was justified, she still felt awkward. Therefore, she tried her best to keep a low profile.

The people around kept coming and going. Penny said, "I only thought of having a few friends and family over. I didn't plan on having such a big party. I didn't expect so many people to come. Fortunately we have made sufficient preparations!"

Penny sounded like she was joking, but it was hard for her to conceal the smile on her face. So many people had come without being invited, which showed the status of the Clements family!

At this time, Aunt Amanda happened to come over. "Penny, it's because you're that popular! Happy birthday!"

Caroline Clements, Frederick's cousin, came over with her. She was beautiful, and looked like the gentle type. She had the typical good looks of the Clements family.

"Happy birthday, Auntie Penny!"

After that, they greeted each other. She nodded at Alicia. Alicia greeted Aunt Amanda and nodded back at her with a smile.

While talking to each other, the waiter served the wine. Caroline handed a glass to Alicia. As they were talking, Alicia had no choice but to accept it.
