A warm feeling spread through Owen’s chest as he realized just how much Hailey cared about him.

Saturday afternoon, the students at Everton High School were buzzing with excitement.

It was Joshua’s birthday today, the “little tyrant” of the school. The Cooper family was one of the four major prominent families in Hallon City, and every year, they celebrated Joshua’s birthday in grand style. Not only did they send invitations to every student in the class, but everyone who attended also received a small gift as a token of appreciation.

Yes, even if you arrived empty–handed, you’d leave with a gift.

The Cooper family was known for their extravagance.

Anyone invited to the Cooper family’s birthday party considered themselves incredibly fortunate.

Of course, no one would ever truly arrive empty–handed. People still brought gifts to show their appreciation.

Hailey kept it casual today, wearing a short black jacket, fitted jeans, and her long hair tied up in a messy bun, exposing her graceful neck. She hadn’t bothered with makeup, yet her natural beauty was undeniable. Surrounded by girls who had dressed more elaborately, she stood out like a delicate lily–fresh, elegant, and pure, embodying the innocent beauty that a girl her age should have.

Hailey had initially planned to attend with Owen, but he had called midway, explaining that something had come up at work and he would be running late. So, Hailey decided to go ahead and arrive early.

The venue was bustling with people. The event was being held at Starlight House, a five–story venue known for its opulence. The Cooper family had rented out the entire place for the occasion. The first and second floors were reserved for the adults, who were using the opportunity to discuss business and potential partnerships, while the third, fourth, and fifth floors were for the younger guests to enjoy themselves.

She arrived a little later than planned, and by the time she stepped inside, the place was already packed.

Joshua and his close friends were on the fifth floor. Before the event, Joshua had sent her a message, telling her to head straight to the fifth floor.

As soon as Hailey stepped off the elevator, she ran into Selena.

Selena, unusually, was dressed quite modestly today. In fact, for the past while, she has kept a low profile. She wore a simple white dress, her makeup fresh and natural, giving her the appearance of a delicate flower.

Hailey had no intention of engaging with her, so she turned and started to walk away.
