Chapter 2231


    “Is that what Curtis bought you for your birthday? I can’t ept that.


    “It’s just a piece of emerald. Old Master Lake, don’t take it to heart. Everyone in Ocean City knows you


    like antiques and paintings. I won’t take away what you love.


    “I won’t take Moon Lake Painting.”


    Mr. Winters waved his hand and said with a smile.


    Kennedy froze slightly, looking a little anxious as if he wanted to say something, but Mr. Winters


    interrupted him with a wave.


    Kennedy said nothing more.


    With Mr. Winters’ position, he could get anything he wanted.


    That imperial emerald and the Moon Lake Painting were precious to everyone else, but it was nothing


    much to Mr. Winters.


    “The patriarch of the Wird family, Chester Wird, presents an emerald pendant and a pair of


    bracelets to Old Master Lake, wishing him happiness and a long life!


    “The chairman of Tiara Group, Benjamin Settler, presents a pair of antique vases for Old Master Lake,


    wishing him a long life!


    “The patriarch of the Xavier family, Clifford Xavier, presents


    a painting to Old Master Lake, wishing him a long and healthy life!”


    One of the Lake family’s servants announced each of Kennedy’s birthday gifts and congrattory


    messages given by Ocean City’s dignitaries.


    Although there was no mention of the value of these birthday gifts, everyone knew none of them were


    cheap.


    The status and power of the Lake family and the guests of the 50th birthday banquet were obvious, so


    there were no inferior birthday gifts.


    The birthday gifts represented the giver’s attitude toward the Lake family as well as their pride.


    “Gosh, I’ve seen the emerald pendant Mr. Wird gave at an auction. It was sold for five million dors,


    but it was given to Old Master Lake as a birthday gift today.


    “Not just the emerald pendant, the bracelets were auctioned for three million. These three things are


    worth eight million dors! Mr. Wird is generous!”


    “Haha, look at how close the Wird family is with the Lake family these years. The Wird family has


    made a lot of money over the years with the Lake family’s help!”


    “The Wird family aside. The painting the Xavier family gave is also worth a lot of money. It seems the


    Xavier family also intends to get closer to the Lake family!”


    There was a flurry of discussion with some adtion and spection.


    The Lake family was at the summit of their power, almost securing their status as the top family in


    Ocean City. It was no wonder that many people wanted to get close to the Lake family, so they could


    profit from it.

    “Theodore Davis presents a coffin to Old Master Lake!”


    “Jadon Quartz presents a coffin to Old Master Lake!”


    “The chairman of Optimus Security Services, Sean Lennon, presents a coffin to Old Master Lake!”


    “We wish Old Master Lake a long life!”


    As the crowd discussed, a series of voices came from outside Lake Residence’s courtyard, shaking


    everyone’s eardrums.


    Michael Carver, Theodore Davis, and Jadon Quartz were famous in Ocean City.


    The three came together not to congratte but to send coffins.


    Outshone by these three people’s influence, the chairman of Optimus Security Services, Sean, who


    was inst ce, did not surprise too many people.


    After all, Sean had only been in Ocean City for a short time and not to the extent that all of Ocean


    City’s dignitaries knew him.


    “F*ck! The head of the Carver family, the head of the Davis family, the head of the Quartz family, and


    the chairman of Optimus Security Services presented coffins for Old Master Lake!”


    Someone eximed before immediatelying to their senses and covering their mouth.
