Chapter 1018

The grand birthday banquet brought together many prominent figures in Strico.

Ordinary families like the Burton family could show up at that banquet all because of Zaid. To be more precise, it was Karina instead.

It would look strange if only Karina attended alone. Therefore, the whole Burton family was invited as

well.

At that moment, Jeanette looked at the magnificent banquet before her and those prominent figures who could only be seen on screen. She could not help but feel astonished inwardly.

Although she had imagined scenes of the birthday banquet before, after all, it had been reported in the news. However, she was still stunned by the view when she saw it in person.

She exclaimed inwardly, “That’s what a prestigious family is! I have to hold tight to Zaid so that the whole. family can assimilate into such a high-class society and gain more benefits from it. With this, only can Patrick have the chance of becoming wealthy in the future.”

Thinking of that, Jeanette smiled and held her stepdaughter Karina’s hand before saying, “Karina, let’s go greet Zeki’s parents. Today, they invited us to attend this banquet. We should also wish the triplets a happy birthday.”

While saying that, she hinted at Wayne through a gaze. As long as Karina, such an amulet, was there for them, they were somewhat related to Jonathan and Rosalie, even if they were ignored.

Moreover, if the prestigious figures in the banquet noticed their relationship with the Youngblood family, they would earn great benefits for their future.

“That’s right. Come, Karina. Hold Patrick’s hand tight. Let’s go to Zeki and say hello to his parents,” Wayne said knowingly.
