Chapter 3 Birthday Banquet

The eighth floor of Galaxy Hotel was bustling with excitement the next day.

The whole floor had been booked by the Pemberley family as they were celebrating the 80th birthday of their matriarch.

The Pemberley family was a third-rate family in Oceanheim with assets exceeding 200 million dollars.

At this moment, three generations of the Pemberley family were all gathered together, laughing and chatting.

“Grandma, this is the emerald bracelet I’m gifting you, worth 200 thousand dollars. Wishing you all the happiness and a long life,” said Jason Pemberley, the third-generation heir of the Pemberley family, with a smile.

“Grandma, this is the premium civet coffee I am gifting you, valued at 100 thousand dollars. I wish you a younger and more lively life.”

“Grandma, here is mine. This is a thousand-year-old medicinal herb dug from the snow-capped mountain, worth 160 thousand dollars…”

The old lady Anna Pemberley looked at the various gifts, laughed heartily, and repeatedly said, “Good, good, good, you are thoughtful.”

At this moment, Lucretia approached and handed over a piece of painting. “Grandmother, this is a painting by Xavier. I wish you good health and lots of smiles.”

In an instant, the smile on Anna’s face froze.

Lucretia’s cousin, Jessica, said in a sarcastic tone, “Lucretia, I hope your family can afford a decent gift. Today is Grandma’s 80th birthday, and you… didn’t seem to attach much importance to it.”

Her voice was not loud, but it was particularly scheming.

Originally, Lucretia had always outshone Jessica in the third generation of the Pemberley family.

However, since Lucretia got pregnant before getting married and ruined the Pemberley family’s reputation, she was kicked out of the Pemberley Group by Anna.

So, when she saw the opportunity just now, Jessica immediately started mocking with an air of arrogance.

“Jessica was right, Lucretia. What a loser you married! He can’t even afford to buy a gift. As a man, I feel embarrassed for him.

“In my opinion, Lucretia and her husband didn’t really care about Grandma’s birthday at all. Otherwise, how could they just send a simple painting?”

The younger generation of the Pemberley family kept making snarky remarks all the time.

When she heard this, Anna’s face darkened and turned as unpleasant as a grumpy cat.
