Salute To The General

Chapter 173 The Happiest Day Of My Life

Hethen instructed his daughter to safe keep it, as the man intended to have it framed up in his living

room the minute he got home.

The other political leaders also presented Benson Smith with the gifts they had brought for him.

They were not expensive but were either exclusive or meaningful gifts.

Sean Smith and his other two sons watched as the mayor and the other political leaders showered

Benson Smith with attention and presented him with all those precious gifts.

Apart from feeling envious and jealous, there was nothing much they could do. The crestfallen family

escaped back to the Lotus Hall in a discreet manner.

However, a greater shock awaited Sean Smith and Samuel Smith when they returned. Their friends

and relatives had gotten wind of the mayor and the other leaders' attendance at Benson Smith's

birthday celebration, and almost all of them had already gone over to the Peony Hall.

As people streamed out of the hall, Samuel Smith started to panic and said anxiously, "Hey, please

don't leave yet, everyone, please stay a while more, let's at least have a drink together..."

In a heartbeat, the 50 tables in the Lotus Hall were devoid of guests. Everyone had scurried off to

Benson Smith's birthday celebration.
