Chapter 101 The Celebration Begins

Larry’s number was also blocked.

As Benjamin watched the news showing Xander carrying Grace, he couldn’t contain his jealousy and anger.

Did that woman completely disregard him as her ex–husband?

He forcefully pushed a pile of folders onto the ground, and his face turned dark.

“Mr. Hawkins, Harold Lewis, the chairman of Lewis Corporation, is celebrating his 70th

birthday at Halifa Tower the day after tomorrow.

“We have been invited. Should we book our tickets now?” Lanny asked.

“Yes!”

At night, the top floor of Halifa Tower was lit with a dazzling array of stars. The world’s richest man, Harold, was celebrating his 70th birthday at the venu

Everyone on the Global Rich List was invited.

All ingredients for the catering had been imported from abroad and cooked by world–class

Frendish chefs.

The entertainment featured performances by a world–famous orchestra to ensure a lavish experience for the guests.

That showed how much they valued this event.

These days, the trending topics #GracetheVixen and #GracetheBully had gradually lost some

of their heat.

Instead, #FindCalico was gaining popularity as everyone on the internet was trying to locate the kind– hearted person named Calico, hoping to report her good deeds.

The guests invited to the birthday celebrations were either rich or powerful, so security was extremely tight.

The invited celebrities were all amazed by Lewis Corporation’s grandeur.

After all, it was Harold’s 70th birthday, and it was rumored that he would introduce his never- before– seen granddaughter, which had generated a lot of anticipation.

The lucky reporters selected to cover the event felt honored and were preparing for extensive

coverage.

At the same time, Grace was getting ready in the dressing room.

Aaron had arranged for the most prestigious styling studio in Mardovia to provide an array of gorgeous dresses from around the world.

He had instructed them, saying, “Tonight, I want her to be the most glamorous person in the

room.”

Suddenly, Grace received a message from Xander. “I’ll be waiting for your entrance, Gracie.”

Seeing that, Grace smiled sweetly.

“What are you smiling at?”

At once, Grace locked her screen, blushing. “I’m not smiling.”

She and Xander were still in the early stages of getting to know each other, so it was better not to make it public, at least not yet.

Just then, Zoey and Lydia arrived together.

“I hereby announce the reunion of our squad in Darai!” Emily handed everyone a glass of champagne, and they raised their glasses together.

“Let’s celebrate our babe’s return to the top of the food chain, trampling all the demons under her feet!”

Zoey chuckled. “After today, we won’t have to deal with any rumors about you being a commoner or seducing Mr. Lewis anymore.”

“That’s right. My babe is the granddaughter of the world’s richest man!” Emily came over and linked arms with Grace.

Lydia finished her champagne in one gulp. “No one will dare criticize you anymore.”

Smiling, Grace said, “Thank you, sis.”

At that moment, the styling team hung up one beautiful dress after another. They were exceptionally polite.

“Ms. Lewis, when do you want to start fitting the dresses?”

“Let my friends choose first. They need to look as beautiful as I do today.”

“Yes, ma’am.” The styling team didn’t dare object.

With the eye of a professional shopper, Emily looked at each dress carefully. “Babe, this one is perfect for you!”

It was a pink chiffon gown adorned with numerous finely cut diamonds in the shape of flowers, from the bodice down to the hem. It exuded a subtle luxur

Just then, the styling team took out a jewelry box from a silver case and presented it to Grace before explaining professionally, “This is an exceptional an

Grace nodded. “I’ll take that gown. I trust my friends‘ judgment.”

After Lydia inspected the other jewelry sets, she nodded. “The quality is excellent. It’s undoubtedly top–tier jewelry.”

Seemingly casually, she asked, “Um… Where’s Caleb?”

“Victor and Caleb find parties too noisy. They thought it would be better to have a family dinner at home afterward, so they won’t be attending tonight.”

Suddenly, Grace’s eyes sparkled, realizing that this was the first time Lydia had spontaneously

asked about Caleb.

After she exchanged glances with Zoey and Emily, they started teasing Lydia endlessly.
