Chapter 2062


    Numerous cars of various brands crowded the entrance of the Indigo Hotel at noon.


    A stream of executive cars such as Audis and Passats pulled up at the hotel, followed by luxury business sedans like Bentleys and Rolls-Royces. The most ostentatious of the pack were the sports cars, with Ferraris and Lamborghini catching the attention of many.


    The asion that demanded such a grand parade was none other than General Tomlinson''s fortieth birthday.


    The Chief Military Governor''s unprecedented influence was no secret. Hence, it was without doubt that his subordinate, General Tomlinson, would be the target of ttery as Brimmopolis'' richest families mbered over one another to establish connections with those in power.


    As soon as it had been made known that General Tomlinson''s birthday fell on that day, even those who had not received invitations shamelessly swarmed to Indigo Hotel to wish him in person.


    The main entrance of Indigo Hotel was crammed with people.


    At that moment, a limited-edition Porsche 911 appeared in the distance with eight Mercedes-Benzes on its tail.


    Commotion ensued.


    "Wow, look at that red Porsche. Isn''t it the limited 911 model? I heard that it sells for more than twenty million! There are only three of those in the entire world. I wonder who this car belongs to."


    "I bet you don''t know this, but the car belongs to the Daviers!"


    At this moment, Shae gracefully exited the coveted vehicle, her ebony hair cascading in loose waves down her back. She wore a scarlet evening gown that ttered her figure while holding a limited-edition Hermes handbag.


    The doors of all eight Benzes swung open, and more than twenty suited bodyguards stepped out.


    The grandeur was enough to leave all the present socialites stunned.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    However, their astonishment was quickly reced with understanding when they realized that the neer was Shae of the Davier family.


    It was an entrance that befitted the Davier family''s status.


    Standing behind Shae was a man dressed in a suit, holding a long gift box with utmost care. Inside the box was none other than Wnd Huck''s prized artwork - Eternal Toil.


    Shae looked over her shoulder to speak to him, "Barron, be careful with it. You''re holding Huck''s best creation. Don''t ruin it."


    "Yes, Ms. Davier," Barron responded hastily.


    Just then, three nondescript ck SUVs pulled to a stop.


    Nathan, Penny, Colin, and a few members of the Elite Eight emerged from the cars.


    Both Nathan and Shae faltered when they noticed each other.


    Shae''s expression became frosty. Her eyes shone with hostility as she remarked, "Well, well, if it isn''t General Cross. Why, pray tell, is a high and mighty general driving such a miserable excuse of a car?"


    Unfazed, Nathan replied breezily, "I''ve always been one to support the local economy. This locally manufactured sedan is more than enough to meet my needs."


    “Are you insinuating that our country''s products are not worthy of you?" Nathan countered.


    Shae was rendered speechless.


    Nathan''s gaze fell upon the gift box Barron was holding and had an inkling that it was Huck''s artwork inside.


    A faint smile yed on Nathan''s lips.


    "It seems like you''ve snatched the painting from Ghost King although I was the one who won the bid at Ghost Auction Housest night. Don''t you agree that it''s about time you returned the painting to its rightful owner?" "Since I seeded in taking it from Ghost King, I deserve the painting," Shae rebutted with a smirk. "So why should I give you something that I acquired with my own abilities?"


    "Besides, this is a present for General Tomlinson. As the Chief Military Governor is fond of Huck''s work, I assume that General Tomlinson would gift it to him.df you''re so capable, you can ask for it from the Chief Military Governor," Shae goaded.


    Enraged, Pennyshed out, "How dare you act so audaciously after snatching what belongs to US...


    Nathan held her back and cated her with a smile. “Honey, don''t waste your breath on people like her. Didn''t I tell you that the artwork would return to us naturally?"


    Before Penny could reply, Shae


    scoffed, "As said, this is a present for General Tomlinson, which will then be gifted to the Chief Military Governor. You''re delusional to think that this artwork wouldnd in your hands. Are you going to beg for it from General Tomlinson? Or maybe you''ll go straight to the Chief Military Governor and grovel at his feet."


    "You must really be full of yourself to think that you can get your hands on it!" Shae burst intoughter.


    "We shall see," came Nathan''s curt reply.
