Keh really didn’t want to Sandra her along.


    But hearing Sandra’sst sentence, he felt a bit softened and said. Fine, I’ll take you, but you must promise not to upset Grandpa.


    “Don’t worry, Keh, I won’t.” Sandra smiled sweetly.


    Of course, she wouldn’t because she was nning to disgrace Tiffany at the banquet.


    She wanted everyone to see just how shameless Tiffany could be


    Just imagining the scene made her excited..


    Sandra lowered her head, so Keh didn’t see the intense scheming and hatred in her eyes


    The birthday party was held as scheduled.


    The Harper family booked thergest hotel in Lovell City for the birthday celebration, reserving an entire building of guest rooms along with the venue for the banquet.


    At 8 p.m., cars began arriving at the hotel one after another.


    Luxury cars gathered outside, and the guests stepping out were all prominent figures in Lovell City.


    Inside the banquet hall, the grand decor and gentle music created a festive atmosphere, with business tycoons mingling and chatting.


    Meanwhile, outside the Royal Tower, Richard had just gotten into his car when the driver habitually asked, “Boss, where to?”


    Richard owned many properties and didn’t have a fixed residence, sometimes even returning to his family, so the driver would always ask when in doubt.


    Before Richard could answer, his assistant said softly, “Boss, today is Romeo’s birthday. Will you attend the party?”


    “What?” Richard nced at his assistant and, upon being reminded, remembered that he had indeed received an invitation and even prepared a grand gift, but had forgotten due to his hectic schedule.


    “Yeah, let’s go. After saying that, Richard rubbed his brow and asked, “What about the matter I asked you to investigate this morning?”


    The assistant immediately replied, “Regarding the whereabouts of Star, whom you asked me to investigate, he is dead. ording to our sources, he was tied to a car and burned to death along with gasoline. The location is in a very remote area in the outskirts, and it hasn’t been discovered yet.”


    Richard nodded and suddenly chuckled, muttering to himself, “She has a ruthless heart.”


    The assistant in the front seat twitched his lips, his expression strange.


    From the way Richard said this, there wasn’t a hint of disapproval or me; instead, there was an odd tone of indulgence.


    Of course,ining was one thing, but the assistant wouldn’t dare to voice it.


    Thus, the ck Maybach headed toward the banquet venue.


    At this moment, the party had already begun.


    As Tiffany entered, countless astonished gazes fell upon her.


    Everyone stared, quietly marveling at her beauty.


    Once, someone had jokingly ranked the beauties among Lovell City’s elitedies, and topping the list was Charlie’s daughter, Tiffany.


    Some thought she didn’t deserve the title, given her poor reputation.


    They said she had beauty but was st**d, nothing more than eye candy.

    Her exquisitely beautiful and wless face was perfect enough to incite envy.


    Under all those gazes, she remained calm andposed, exuding an air of noble indifference.


    People exchanged looks of embarrassment.


    How could someone like this be called eye candy?


    Even if Tiffany was just eye candy, she’d be one with an unparalleled aura.


    Someonemented, “Charlie is truly fortunate to have such a beautiful daughter. She’s a true asset.”


    Charlie, naturally, was beaming with pride.


    Indeed, with such a stunning daughter, he had every reason to feel proud.


    Others couldn’t feel what he felt like


    From his seat, Romeo watched Tiffany approach and joyfully called out, “Girl,e over and let me have a look.”


    Tiffany walked over.


    Romeo, celebrating his 70th birthday, still looked spirited, his smile warm and kind, easily drawing people close.


    Tiffany politely offered her birthday wishes, “Mr. Harper, wish you a day filled with love, joy, and all your favorite things.”


    She deliberately added Romeo’s surname, making it sound distant.


    Ryan exchanged a nce with his wife.

    But with so many guests around, he couldn’t afford to make a scene.
