“Forget it Mom, It’s Cad’s 60th birthday today. Just show him a bit of respect and not cause a scene
here, please? There are people watching!’
No one bothered to apologize to Kevan-of course, he never expected them to either. In the confusion,
he silently went over to sit in his seat, trading a look with Anthony before quietly observing this farce.
However, the farce did notst long. Alter both sons had persuaded them,bined with the stares
from the guests, Bernard and Maria calmed down very quickly.
Cody got a waiter to clean up the mess on the floor, and once Bernard’s emotions were fully calm, the
feast officially started.
There was an emcee for the feast. Cody had spent a great deal of money on this too, for he had hired a
well-known host from SterTV to ensure that thiros ran smoothly. Other than that, he also invited
several famous singers to perform.
The guests were mainly older political and business cliles, so they were not interested in any of these
ridiculous programs. Hence, no matter how high-energy the performances were, the atmosphere off-
stage was stil. lileless. Many even rubbed their ears andined about how noisy it was, and they
could barely hear the person speaking next to them.
As for the main star of the event, Bemard was watching the performances with relish, his eyes
frequently drifting to the bodies of the female stars, wt ile a nasty smile yed on the corners of his
lips. Those who shared his table pretended to not have seen anything while Maria was gritting her teeth
angrily, but kept hersell as calm as possible due to needing to show him courtesy on his big day.
The performancessted for nearly an hour. Thankfully, the dishes were served about hallway through,
or a great deal of the guests might have gone berser
After thest singer finished their performance, Berard went up the stage at the invitation of the emcee
to deliver a speech to the quests.
“Thank you, thank you all foring despite your busy schedules! I am very, very honored! I am also
thankful to my two dutiful sons, for they were the ones who did everything they could to organize such
a grand feast Ik e this one, and made my wishese true?
Bernard’s face was filled with pride, and his eyes seemingly kept dritting over to Anthony and Kevan,
seemingly gloating on purpose.
Cody helped him by asking. “Kevan, Uncle Anthony’s 60th birthday was not celebrated well. Don’t you
want to give him a grand one to
make it up to him?”
The father and son pair had indeed touched upon a sore point for Kevan. Anthony was older than
Bernard by three years. But Kevan was still in a a’ at that time, so naturally, he could not celebrate
his 60th birthday. Besides. Anthony and Violet had no heart to do anything like that ether as they were
worried about their son, who was still hospitalized then.
Anthony saw the guilt on Kevan’s face. So, he said, ‘it’s alright” while shaking his head, smiling warmly
at his son as he patted his hand. ”
don’t care about these formalities.”
These words were meant for Kevan as well as the others sealed with them. But his sincere words were
taken as him “desperately” trying
to preserve his reputation by those with ulterior motives.
Maria followed along in their attempts to sow discord. “Kevan, boy, your father only sald that he doesn’t
care so you wouldn’t feel bad. You can’t take it as it is, you know! Look at your Uncle Bernard, he’s so
glorious today! I tell you, bay, he has never been as happy as he is today for the longest time! If you
organize a party like this for your dad, he will definitely be as happy as ark loof
