Chapter 192


    “Chairman Lockwood?”


    “Horizon Ventures Ltd. is a subsidiary of Twin Towers, so it must be Orion, the chairman of the


    Lockwood Group, who let you personallye to deliver a gift?”


    As his words fell, the whole room gasped in surprise. At the mention of the name “Orion“,


    people from all around the banquet hall began to gather, buzzing with curiosity.


    Since when did the Nightshade family business get so big that even the Lockwood Group got


    involved, making none other than Chairman Lockwood himself to prepare a gift for the


    Nightshade family’s second son’s birthday?


    Christopher, seeing the situation, exchanged a surprised look with Susanna.


    Although theirpany was gradually getting involved in the emerce industry, they’d


    never worked with the Lockwood Group, let alone cultivated a close rtionship with Mr.


    Lockwood. So why would he send someone to deliver a gift?


    Their eyes turned towards Samuel, who shook his head in confusion, “I don’t even know Mr.


    Lockwood.”


    The people around table was wrapped in confusion, all eyes eventually turning to Xanthea.


    “Ahem.”


    Xanthea, who was sipping her soup, choked when she heard the name “Orion“, and looked up to see


    her entire family staring at her, as if expecting some exnation.


    “Why are you all looking at me?”


    The Nightshade family had only briefly interacted with Mr. Lockwood twice. Once when Mr. Lockwood


    attended Xan’sing–of–age party, and another time when Xan helped him acquire a rare purple


    jade at the gem betting event.


    Now that Mr. Lockwood had sent a gift, they naturally thought it had something to do with her.


    “Xan, do you know why Mr. Lockwood would send a gift?”


    Xanthea shook her head; she had no idea. She’d just spoken to Orion on the phone, and he hadn’t


    mentioned anything.


    “Could it be because you helped him at the gem betting


    event?”


    Xanthea remained silent; it was possible.


    Since Samuel didn’t even know him, there was no reason for him to send a gift. Maybe since he’d been


    wanting to thank her for a while and she’d been refusing, he decided to use Samuel’s birthday as an


    opportunity to express his gratitude?

    Oliver, with a knowing smile, turned to Lee, “Mr. Abbott, could you open it and let us see what it is?”

    “Yes, let’s see what it is!”


    The banquet hall was abuzz with excitement, everyone curious about the gift Orion had sent. Lee


    opened the case he was holding, revealing a golf club.

    “What a beautiful golf club!”


    “The material and design look exquisite; it must be quite valuable.”


    “What does the engraving say?”


    “A genuine work from Simon West?”


    Samuel, seeing the golf club, stood up immediately, his eyes shining with incredulous joy.


    “Mr. Samuel Nightshade has good taste. This one was indeed crafted by Seraphia’s famed


    golfer Simon West himself, and it even bears his signature. It’s the only one of its kind in the


    world, and has been part of the Horizon Ventures Ltd. collection. Hearing that you’ve always


    been fond of golf, Chairman Lockwood instructed me to bring it over.”


    As soon as Simon’s name was mentioned, the room erupted in murmurs of amazement.


    “In the early 19th century, a golf club made by the sports legend Simon was auctioned in


    Seraphia, and it was acquired by a mysterious buyer for 300 grand. Who would have thought it


    would appear here today?”


    “The 300 grand back then is not the same as 300 grand now; its price must’ve multiplied a few


    times over.” “That was like 2 million dors!”
