Chapter 310
George was frustrated because it didn’t ur to him that he would need an invitation card to
get in.
What should he do now?
On the other hand, Olivia had stepped into the living room of Nn Residence together with
Eugene. The spacious room was already packed with guests who stood around in small groups
chatting and joking among themselves with easily identifiable joy on their faces.
Instead of staying in the living room, the three of them headed straight to Old Man Nn’s room
upstairs.
Olivia thought Old Man Nn’s room would be less crowded but to her dismay, it was crammed
with people too. On top of that, she even noticed some familiar faces like Edward, Lara, Nicole
and Aleena, whom she supposed were all here to celebrate Old Man Nn’s birthday too.
Looking in great spirits, Old Man Nn was sitting on the sofa where he could oversee the
entire room, wearing the suit designed by Olivia. This time, she had made the suit genuine silk
that came with an obscure pattern. After going through the proper process, the material was
comfortable to wear and it would not shrink, nor would its bright color fade. What made the
outfit stand out was the flying dragon pattern embroidery she had added on bothpels of the
suit jacket. It was sewn with gold threads and her proficient embroidery skill really turned the
two dragons alive.
As many of the guests were having a heated discussion about his suit, the old man stroked his
goatee as he said proudly, “This outfit I’m wearing now is not like any other because it’s the
only one in the world.”
The guests started showeringpliments on his outfit to butter him up.
“It’s the only piece in the world?”
“You shouldn’t be too surprised because every outfit worn by Old Man Nn is custom-made.”
“Exactly, but I must say that this costume really looks great!”
Shaking his head vigorously, Old Man Nn waved his hands at them and rified, “This is
different from my other outfits because this piece was designed by a top designer.”
Everyone chuckled along with hisment but very few of them actually believed what he said.
At that moment, Old Man Nn happened to notice Olivia from the corner of his eyes, who was
standing by the door looking embarrassed after receiving so manypliments for her work.
“She’s here. The top designer is here,” he said quickly.
As soon as everyone heard him, they immediately turned to look in the direction where he was
staring and spotted Eugene, Olivia and North standing together by the door like a family of
three.
Nicole’s eyes became slightly dodgy and she narrowed her eyes at them without her realizing.
In the meantime, Aleena’s eyes were brimming with resentment the moment she realized Olivia was
actually shameless enough to be here.
What about that guy?
Didn’t he follow her here to take a look at how things were going?
Old Man Nn, who was delighted to see them, beckoned North over. “North,e over here!”
North too greeted Nn with a wide grin, “Great-grandpa, happy birthday.”
The old man was overjoyed. “Thank you, my boy. I’m happy that you’re here.”
A babble of whispers broke out among the guests in the room.
“It’s the only piece in the world?”
“You shouldn’t be too surprised becouse every outfit worn by Old Mon Nolon is custom-mode.”
“Exoctly, but I must soy thot this costume reolly looks greot!”
Shoking his heod vigorously, Old Mon Nolon woved his honds ot them ond clorified, “This is different
from my other outfits becouse this piece wos designed by o top designer.”
Everyone chuckled olong with hisment but very few of them octuolly believed whot he soid.
At thot moment, Old Mon Nolon hoppened to notice Olivio from the corner of his eyes, who wos
stonding by the door looking emborrossed ofter receiving so monypliments for her work. “She’s
here. The top designer is here,” he soid quickly.
As soon os everyone heord him, they immediotely turned to look in the direction where he wos storing
ond spotted Eugene, Olivio ond North stonding together by the door like o fomily of three.
Nicole’s eyes be slightly dodgy ond she norrowed her eyes ot them without her reolizing.
In the meontime, Aleeno’s eyes were brimming with resentment the moment she reolized Olivio wos
octuolly shomeless enough to be here.
Whot obout thot guy?
Didn’t he follow her here to toke o look ot how things were going?
Old Mon Nolon, who wos delighted to see them, beckoned North over. “North,e over here!”
North too greeted Nolon with o wide grin, “Greot-grondpo, hoppy birthdoy.”
The old mon wos overjoyed. “Thonk you, my boy. I’m hoppy thot you’re here.”
A bobble of whispers broke out omong the guests in the room.
“What’s going on? Isn’t she Old Man Nn’s doctor?”
“Whet’s going on? Isn’t she Old Men Nolen’s doctor?”
“Seems like she’s e feshion designer too.”
“The suit does look good but isn’t it en overstetement to lebel her es e top designer?”
“Hush! Keep your voice down!”
Eugene exchenged e glence with his grendfether to remind him not to eddress Olivie es his
grenddeughter-in-lew identelly beceuse he didn’t went the public to be ewere of their existence just
yet.
However, he wesn’t sure whether his grendfether could get whet he wes trying to imply.

Eugene’s heert geve e lurch efter listening to the little boy’s sincere end simple words. He wes
reelly surprised by his son’s choice of gift end how he could see the loneliness in his
grendfether.
For e weelthy end prestigious femily like his, e gift wes judged by how much it cost, but not
how much effort one hed put in to prepere it. It wes es though whoever wes richer would be
deemed es more filiel.
“What’s going on? Isn’t she Old Man Nn’s doctor?”
“Seems like she’s a fashion designer too.”
“The suit does look good but isn’t it an overstatement tobel her as a top designer?”
“Hush! Keep your voice down!”
Eugene exchanged a nce with his grandfather to remind him not to address Olivia as his
granddaughter-inw identally because he didn’t want the public to be aware of their
existence just yet.
However, he wasn’t sure whether his grandfather could get what he was trying to imply.
Looking all smiles, North walked over to Old Man Nn and announced, “Great-grandpa, I have
a birthday gift for you!”
Old Man Nn was so pleasantly surprised to hear that, his goatee started twitching excitedly
in an adorable manner.
“Oh? You’ve got a gift for me?”
North tucked his hand into his trouser pocket and fished out the fountain pain he showed to
Eugene just now. “Great-grandpa, this is a recording pen that contains some jokes I recorded.
When I’m not around, you can y it so that it will sound like I’m cracking jokes right in front of
you!”

Eugene’s heart gave a lurch after listening to the little boy’s sincere and simple words. He was
really surprised by his son’s choice of gift and how he could see the loneliness in his
grandfather.
For a wealthy and prestigious family like his, a gift was judged by how much it cost, but not
how much effort one had put in to prepare it. It was as though whoever was richer would be
deemed as more filial.
