Chapter 328
The night was upon them. The dark sky was dotted with countless stars.
Although it was snowing heavily, the vibrantly lit Jubilee Hotel was bustling as George''s seventieth
birthday celebration was going to take ce there this evening.
All the big shots in the military, political, and business sectors had arrived at the venue.
The hotel was designed very luxuriously.
Arge chandelier was suspended high in the main hall while a firece kept it warm. Thevish,
enormous murals highlighted the ce''s splendor.
Donning a suit, George stood straight and exuded an authoritative aura. It would be hard not to know
he had been on the political scene for a long time.
Although he had reached old age, he still looked lively and energized. At this moment, he was seated
in the main seat and receiving everyone''s blessings.
Everyone present at the venue understood that although George had retired, he still had a significant
influence on the political scene. Moreover, the apple did not fall far from the tree, as William was even
more outstanding than his father. As his rank rose, there was an increasing number of people who
wanted to be in the Lambert family''s good books.
William and ire were in the main hall entertaining the guests. While ire was able to handle such
situations well, William did not particrly enjoy such asions.
However, George was getting old and started to enjoy lively celebrations. That was the main reason
William had held this birthday celebration for him.
“Grandpa, happy birthday! I wish you all the joy and happiness you so richly deserve. May you continue
to increase in age and strength!” Nicole''s sweet voice rang out amidst the bustling atmosphere.

She was wearing a white sleeveless gown this evening. The light makeup on her dainty face
entuated her exquisite appearance.
She was a sight to behold for everyone as she exuded an air of innocence.
Since there were many important guests among them, George could not simply give the cold shoulder
to his granddaughter.
However, his attitude was not enthusiastic toward her when he replied indifferently, “How considerate of
you to make time to see me, given how busy you are.”
Nicole''s smile froze.
What does Grandpa mean by saying this in front of everyone? Is heining that he hasn''t seen
much of me? However, even if I want to visit him, I know he doesn''t want to see me. I won''t go and try
to make a fool out of myself.
However, Nicole was good at putting up an act in front of everyone.
She smiled sweetly and passed her present to George before saying docilely, “Grandpa, I only have
one grandfather, and it''s your birthday today. Even if I have to sacrifice my work, I still have toe
here to celebrate your birthday. I would still get jobs in the future, but I only have one grandfather...”
George was not ruffled by Nicole''s words.
In contrast, Fiona was beaming upon hearing her words.
She held Nicole''s hand affectionately. “You''re so considerate. I heard you went abroad for a movie a
while back. How was it? Are you experiencing any jetg?”
Nicole stuck out her tongue yfully. “Grandma, I have gotten used to it. My body isn''t that weak. Let
me tell you something. I already prepared Grandpa''s present a few days ago. I bought it overseas, so
I''m hoping he likes it.”
“What did you prepare? There are many ces for you to spend your money. Please don''t spend so
much money on this.” Although Fiona said that, her hands were already unwrapping the present.
There was an exquisite antique smoking pipe made of emerald in the box. Anyone could tell it was
invaluable, even at a cursory nce.
“You''re a sweet child. George told me he wanted a smoking pipe a few days ago. I didn''t expect his
wish toe true so quickly on his birthday. Are you able to read his mind?” Fiona joked as she
smiled.
George cast a meaningful yetplicated nce at Nicole. However, he remained silent.
Nicole smiled. “As long as Grandpa likes it.”
She had identally overhead her grandparents'' conversation while in their residence. She found out
he liked antique smoking pipes and bought one as his birthday present.
“You''re so nice to your grandfather that I''m envious. Forget it. It''s his birthday today, so I''ll turn a blind
eye,” Fiona said jokingly. The affection she had for her granddaughter was evident to everyone.
Everyone wasmenting about how close Nicole and Fiona were.
Nicole hugged Fiona''s neck and said sweetly, “Grandma, I''m not such a mean person! I have also
prepared a present for you today!”
Nicole waved her hands, and her manager, who was waiting at the side, passed her another exquisitely
wrapped present.
She then passed it to Fiona. “Grandma, this is for you!”
Fiona opened it in surprise. It was a shawl with exquisite embroidery.
All the females in the venue were astounded when they saw the shawl.
“What a beautiful shawl!”
“This embroidery is amazing! It''s delicate and exquisite. Stunning!”
Fiona heard the praises from everyone and beamed happily.
Nicole''s manager chose an appropriate time to interrupt, “Old Mrs. Lambert, Nicole personally
embroidered this shawl. She spent one month trying toplete this shawl and even rejected a few
movies!”
The manager''s words caused a hugemotion among the females in the main hall.
They were all astonished. “N-Nicole embroidered this shawl herself? Oh my goodness! This is
incredible!”
“I didn''t expect Ms. Lambert to be not only good at acting but also talented at embroidering. Old Mrs.
Lambert has such an exceptional granddaughter!”
“Old Mrs. Lambert, my son was promoted to major-general this year and is looking for a partner. Will
you consider him?”
Nicole smiled. Her actions were graceful and gracious as if she was an educated and elegantdy.
She lowered her head shyly upon hearing everyone''s praises. Her innocent and graceful appearance
immediately won over all the middle-aged women and single men who did not know her true colors.
At this moment, someone let out a surprised gasp in the main hall.
Everyone, including Nicole, turned toward the direction of the sound curiously.
A beautiful and eye-catching couple had appeared in the main hall.
The man was handsome and tall, dressed in a custom-made suit. His sharp gaze was icy and
domineering. However, the cold gaze on his charming face softened when he looked at the woman
holding his arm.
That man was none other than the boss of Trident Group, Cayden.
ire''s gaze fell onto the woman holding Cayden''s arm. Her heart skipped a beat uncontrobly as
she looked at the familiar face.
Nicole waved her hands, and her manager, who was waiting at the side, passed her another exquisitely
wrapped present.
