Chapter 405: Announcement Of Engagement

Aeldric and Justin made an appearance at the event hall, and everyone paid attention to them. Aeldric was the most powerful among them, so there was no one who could dare look down on him.

Aeldric addressed all the guests in the hall and announced to everyone, "This is my grandson, Aiden, Alexander’s son. Back then, I lost him due to my enemies, but he proved that he has my blood running in him and made his way back home."

Aeldric refrained from using his last name, as Aiden was now known as NextEra CEO Aiden Handrix. He was sure that sooner or later, he would make him change it.

Aeldric continued, "Back then, when he was just eight years old, he sliced the throat of a woman who said something bad to him, and when I upset him, he even dared to point a gun at me—and even shot me. That was the day I decided he would be my heir and the next underworld lord that you all have to look up to."

Everyone clapped at this announcement, while Justin stood by Aeldric’s side—calm, composed, yet with an aura of power and mystery surrounding him.

Noah shook his head. Praising the demon for such a small accomplishment.

All the guests knew he was the man who owned NextEra Corp.

Then, Aeldric started introducing him to all the guests. After a while, a guest approached them. "Aeldric."

The old man, busy introducing Justin to someone else, turned to look at the man and smiled. "Collin, finally you are here."

"How can I not be here when you invite me?" the man, similar in age to Aeldric, replied. "See who’s here?"

Aeldric looked at the young woman standing a step behind Collin and smiled. "Young lady, it’s good you decided to return home instead of staying abroad."

A beautiful young woman with long honey-blond hair, caramel eyes, and delicate features. She was not just beautiful, but looked like a successful and confident woman. Her every action, simply her presence was graceful.

She smiled at the old man politely. "Good to meet you after so long, Mr Riverdale. It’s just that dad wanted me to help him handle his business, so I had to return."

"You did well. We know how capable you are," Aeldric said, then looked at Justin. "Aiden, this is my close friend Collin Harts, and this is his daughter Grace."
