Chapter 183
"I don''t think it''s my fault."
Jason said seriously.
The toilet was just a small issue. It was clear that Stephanie had remembered the time wrongly and
insisted on reapplying her makeup halfway. Now they were stuck on the road and had to walk over.
It was really not his fault.
"I''m not ming you. I''m ming myself!"
She couldn''t even remember the time of her mother''s birthday party, Stephanie hated herself so
much.
The two of them abandoned the car and walked quickly on the street.
Fortunately, these people who were standing around the building did not know this icy beauty who
was rushing in. She was Stephanie, the icy goddess amongst the well-known Chan sisters from
Nandu.
Otherwise, even if they chose to walk, the crazy crowd would not let them through, and it wouldn''t
be different from being stuck in the car.
"They''re some." In the face of bystanders who kept raising their mobile phones to take pictures of
themselves, Stephanie just frowned and did not stop walking.
But when they were about to arrive at the gate of the building, she couldn''t help but stop.
There were too many people.
Those top luxury cars and the young masters of the upper ss had not left yet because of the
traffic jam.
They were gathered together,ughing and talking about the topics of the upper circle, but
Stephanie did not doubt that once one of these people found her, there would be chaos and it would
be difficult for her to enter the hotel quickly.
"Let''s go through the back door!"
Stephanie stopped for a moment, took Jason''s hand, bypassed the front door, and trotted to the
back door.
On the way, her cell phone rang.
"Hello Dad, I was stuck outside, but I have already reached the entrance. I can go up right away."
After picking up the phone, Stephanie said in a hurry.
William paid great attention to the manner.
Since they were children, the parents did not hold high expectations on their studies, but rather on
tradition, they were no less than the feudal families in the ancient times.
The way they ate, dressed, walked, talked...
In particr, they should not bete for this kind of family gathering, not to mention such an
important asion as a mother''s 50th birthday. Stephanie could guess what kind of violent state
William was in now.
"Is Jason with you?" William asked.
"Yes, he is." Stephanie said.
"Alright, then take your time. Don''t worry. We''ll be waiting for you."
Snap!
The phone was hung up.
Stephanie was stunned.
Looking at the call notification, Stephanie slowly stopped. For a moment, she did not understand the
meaning of her father''sst words.
Was he really waiting for her?
She looked sideways at Jason, who also did not understand what was going on.
Shaking her head, she took his hand and continued to move forward.
At this time, only the Chans and some people from the Han family were in the banquet hall.
Unlike the Chan family, the Shen family was headed by David alone. After he got sessful, the
family followed and enjoyed the wealth together, while growing even more sessful.
However, the Chans were different.
William married into a good family.
William''s wife, Pearl Han, was born to a local rich family in Nandu.
Before the founding of the country, more than half of thend in Nandu belonged to the Han family.
They ran around and monopolized all the most profitable industries at that time. Even among the
important officials of the government, there were people with the surname of Han.
However, due to some historical problems, the Han family gradually became neglected after the
founding of the country. As time passed, the family began to fade away from the public eye.
But after all, a lean camel was bigger than a horse.
Without the full support of the Han family, it was impossible for William, an outsider, to rise rapidly in
a ce like Nandu. With a fortune of tens of billions, he became the richest man in Nandu.
So far, although William''s status was extremely noble in front of outsiders and he was the richest
man in Nandu, the Han family still treated him like any other son-inw, and many of them didn''t
bother about him.
"William, it''s my sister''s birthday but only one of your daughters is here. Why isn''t Stephanie here
yet?"
As soon as William hung up the phone, Aidan Han, Pearl''s elder brother and William''s brother-in-
law, leaned over with a goblet in his hand and asked.
"Yes, I just called her and she''s upstairs. She''ll be here soon," William said with a smile.
"But I just overheard from your call that you want us to wait for her. If she doesn''te, are you
going to wait on your own or let us old people wait with you?"
Aidan had always been dissatisfied with William marrying into the Han family. At that time, he was in
contact with the Jiang family from the Capital City, and already had a private agreement with Master
Jiang that he would marry his prettiest sister, Pearl, to him. However, he was interrupted by the
wildcard William, and the marriage did not happen. In the end, Master Jiang used him of being
untrustworthy, and he had lost such a huge backing in the Prosper Group.

William looked at the time and said with a smile, "The dinner party only starts in half an hour. They
should be in the elevator now. There''s plenty of time. There won''t be any situation like what you
mentioned."
"So do you mean that I am spouting nonsense?" Aidan frowned. "William, do you think that it was
especially easy to be the richest man in Nandu? Or, after you became the richest man in
Nandu, you don''t care about the Han family anymore? Or is it that the Han family is in the way of
you climbing further up thedder, and you want to draw a clear line with us now and stop all
contact? If that''s what you think, you can say it directly. We are all rtives and everything is
negotiable."
William looked at Aidan in confusion. "I didn''t say that, did I?"
"You didn''t say it, but it doesn''t mean that you haven''t thought about it that way." Aidanughed.
"What do you mean?" William asked lowly.
"Nothing. I just want to remind you that Stephanie is not young anymore. You should think about
what I told youst time. Don''t let me down again after so many years."
Aidan patted William on the shoulder and turned to leave with a smile.
Crash!
Looking at the back of Aidan, the goblet in William''s hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.
"Honey, what''s wrong with you?"
Pearl, who was chatting with her sisters, heard the sound and ran over in a hurry.
"Why are you so careless? Your hand is bleeding. Hurry up, let''s go find a nurse and get it
disinfected and bandaged. Don''t let the wound get infected."
Looking at the bleeding wound on William''s hand, Pearl''s eyes were full of distress.
"It''s okay. It''s just a small wound. It''ll be fine after I clean it."
William waved his hand and got a waiter to clean up the mess. He turned around and left in silence.
In the Bloom Revolving restaurant, there was a floor-to-ceiling window, and there was a gorgeous
360 degree view.
Here, one could enjoy the night scene of every corner of Nandu.
The lights were shining brightly, neon lights flickering.
"Did my eldest brother look for you again?" Standing beside William, Pearl looked at the night scene
outside the window with her beautiful eyes twinkling and said sadly.
"Yes, it''s about Teddy Jiang," William said.
"I knew it. If we don''t betroth Stephanie to Teddy, my big brother will not give up." Pearl sighed.
Then, she looked sideways at her husband and pursed her lips and asked, "Then do you know who
is Teddy''s father?"
"Who?"
"Luthor Jiang," Pearl said.
"I knew it." William sneered. "Back then, your big brother wanted to marry you to Luthor. As the son
of the Jiang family, he would get support and would win the old master''s favor. But he didn''t expect
that you would marry me, a good-for-nothing poor man. And he didn''t expect that I would
umte such wealth in such a short period of less than ten years. It''s reasonable that he doesn''t
like me."
"But he shouldn''t be having intentions towards our daughter!"
As William spoke, his tone suddenly became cold, and he exuded a murderous aura.
"Riley and Stephanie are part of me. I have tried my best to make money over the years and
constantly improved our family''s status in Nandu in order to give them a free life so they can live as
they want. But now that he can''t use you, he''s extending his ws towards our daughters. Even if I
go bankrupt, I will y with him to the end. Even if we are both suffering, I will not let him go!"
"So now you''re putting all your hopes on the boy who may be a rtive of the Shen family, right?"
Pearl asked softly, her beautiful eyes shing.
