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.

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!"

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!"
