Chapter 754
Mrs. Wright quickly realized the situation and smiled. "Please,e inside. Brayden, escort the old Mr.
Bet."
Brayden promptly led them inside.
Tiana, with teary eyes, approached Mrs. Wright and took her hand. "So many years have passed...
we''ve all grown old."
The two former close friends stood there, feeling as if they had traveled through the ocean of time. Mrs.
Wright was filled with emotion. "Tiana, I don''t know if it''s because I''ve grown old, but I have a feeling
I''ve forgotten someone very important. I just can''t seem to remember."
"Did we have another one as our close friend?" Mrs. Wright pondered.
Tiana initially thought of mentioning that they also had a friend named Monica, but she sensed that
something was amiss in Mrs. Wright''s demeanor. She couldn''t quite put her finger on it, so she didn''t
dare to speak carelessly.
Instead, she didn''t bring up Monica and merely smiled, saying, "You were always in Larro, and I was in
Urgford. Our lives took us in different directions. If it weren''t for our children gathering in Urgford, it
would be rare for us to meet as old friends."
As the two friends chatted excitedly, Pa and Alondra, who were about the same age, didn''t share
their enthusiasm. Normally, in Urgford, the two sisters enjoyed considerable prestige. Pa was the
eldest daughter-inw of the Bet family, and Alondra was a renowned medical professor. They
were usually treated with respect by many.
However, today, their faces had been pped by the old Mr. Bet. "Sister, maybe... let''s just go
inside," Alondra suggested. She was not keen on standing there any longer. Originally, as Katie''s two
aunts, it was expected for them to wee guests. But after being pped in the face by the old Mr.
Bet, they felt too embarrassed to continue standing there. Their faces felt hot and stinging.
It was not surprising that they preferred Katie than Lukas. Lukas was from Katie''s father''s previous
marriage, and that marriage had long ended in divorce.
The current Mrs. Mcguire was quite remarkable. She was very smooth in her dealings, polite and
skilled at socializing. She was constantly sending all kinds of high-end fashion, season''s show
invitations, and various pieces of fine jewelry.
The two sisters had their own reasons for favoring Katie since their mother was so adept at winning
people over.
Just as Alondra spoke, they saw a familiar figure entering the scene. Aviana and her niece, I, walked
into the hall.
Aviana was dressed in professional attire, and I remained stunning as ever.
It was well-known that the Saunders family had been thriving. Aviana held a high position at Crown
Techs Group, and her niece, I, was a team leader at MI6.
Aviana and I approached Mrs. Wright politely and presented arge gift.
"Mrs. Wright, congrattions to you. It''s not easy to clear Mr. Wright''s name. It''s worth celebrating,"
Aviana said, delivering apliment with the right amount of politeness.
I, looking stunning, smiled and said, "Mrs. Wright, congrattions."
Mrs. Wright hadn''t expected the Saunders family to attend, and she wasn''t familiar with this mother and
niece pair at all. While she managed a polite smile, it didn''te across as very natural.
On the other hand, Tiana had met this pair at some social gatherings and banquets. She greeted them
warmly, saying, "Aviana and I, it''s been a while."
Aviana and I returned the greeting, and shortly after, another guest arrived. It was Weston, who held
a prominent position in Urgford. He wore a ck shirt and looked both elegant and dignified.
He was apanied by several friends, young men who enjoyed a high status in Urgford. They were
all from well-known families.
Learning from the old Mr. Bet''s experience and knowing of Weston''s rtionship with Sylvia,
Alondra was understandably cautious.
She didn''t rush forward to let Weston give a p in her face because she saw Weston had already
approached Mrs. Wright.
He greeted her with a friendly demeanor, "Mrs. Wright, congrattions! From now on, it''s all good
times, and the bad luck is behind us."
Mrs. Wright had no idea who this young man was in front of her, and yet he seemed very familiar and
friendly.
The Mcguires couldn''t believe how many guests were choosing to attend the Wright family event. MI6
personnel, several friends that Weston had brought along, and even the old Mr. Bet were among
the attendees. This came as a shock to them.
Alondra and Pa felt uneasy, as this was Katie''s birthday party, and it just so happened to be held at
the same venue as the Wright family''s gathering. They wondered why so many people had decided to
attend the Wright family''s event instead of the Mcguire family''s. The Wright family was a lesser-known
and less influential family in Urgford, so they couldn''t understand the sudden attention.
These guests were all important figures connected to major powers and influential families. They
couldn''tprehend why they would favor the Wright family in this way.
In fact, Brayden had invited many people to their event, but most of them had declined, choosing
instead to attend the Mcguire family''s gathering. However, with the arrival of several high-profile
individuals at the Wright family event, those people who had been invited by Brayden was wondering
whether they should sent some gifts to the Wright family.
Katie felt both angry and frustrated. Her birthday celebration had been disrupted by the presence of so
many influential figures at the Wright family''s event. She had wished for something different from the
usual dull birthday party. There was indeed something different but not quite pleasant.

She might be naive, but she wasn''tpletely clueless, especially about the identities of the Wright
family''s guests from earlier.
Especially Weston!
Just then, Adriel stepped in, and Katie''s face lit up as she spotted him.
Without waiting for others to react, Katie approached Adriel with a warm smile. "Grandpa Adriel, are
you here to join my birthday party too?"
She was silently counting on Adriel''s presence to keep the Wright family in check.
But...
Adriel greeted her warmly, acknowledging the Mcguire family''s little princess. He handed Katie a gift
and wished her, "Happy birthday, Katie."
"Thank you!" Katie epted the gift, inwardly pleased with herself. "Please,e inside."
Alondra and Pa felt a sense of victory, having reimed a portion of their dignity.
Meanwhile, Kareem continued to wee guests, as if he hadn''t noticed the Mcguire family''s earlier
embarrassment.
However, their joy didn''tst very long.
Because Adriel, in a polite tone, said, "I''m afraid not. I''m quite busy today. There''s someone very
important waiting for me at the Wright family''s banquet."
The Wright family again?!
Why was it the Wright family once more?
Cody was left bewildered. He hadn''t anticipated such arge number of guests, especially some whose
presence, given his current situation, should have been impossible to secure.
Cody hadn''t anticipated that Franklin and Sylvia had such a broadwork and could bring together
such an impressive array of people to support him. His emotions were a jumble of warmth and
nostalgia.
In the past, he had always taken it upon himself to care for these kids, but now, he found himself on the
receiving end.
Not only had the Saunders family''s aunt and niece, Adriel, the Bet family, and MI6 joined the party,
but Weston, a man whose every move in Urgford shook the ground, had also attended.
Poppy, who was studying at the film school while also working on ''The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady,''
had managed to attend. Not only did shee, but she also brought Eden, Brock, and arge group
from the film crew.
Cody was left bbergasted.
"Uncle Wright, just so you know, having arge attendance at a farewell party means bad luck
disperses faster," Poppy teased, her mischievous smile aimed at Cody. "So, don''t kick us out; we''re
here to enjoy the free meal!"
Despite their casual banter, almost all the guests had brought gifts.
Simeon arrived soon after they did.
When Katie spotted Simeon, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
The top star she wanted to coborate with had shown up?
And he hade to the Wright family''s banquet?
Not only did the Wright family have top idol Eden, but also top actor Simeon?
Many reporters who had been following the case from the court made it to the scene. They couldn''t
help but berate themselves for not having extra eyes and hands to capture this spectacle.
This was too explosive!
They got the headline!
#Cody''s Feast: Top-Stars Gather Together#
Simeon sat next to Brock in a friendly manner, saying, "Mr. Brock, please give me lots of guidance
when I join the cast."
His attitude was so humble that it didn''t seem like he was a top star.
"Simeon, there''s no need to be so formal," Eden said, having met Simeon at other events. "Since
Sylvia arranged for you to join us, we''re all one big family from now on."
Simeon''s heart warmed. "Cheers to that."
The atmosphere was lively on this side.
Alby also made an appearance. Who was Alby? The CEO of H Rovirsa''srgest securitypany,
Alby from the renowned Alby Security. His arrival shocked nearly everyone.
Simeon had always assumed that "Alby" in the group chat was just a nickname, but as it turned out, he
was the real Alby from Alby Security?
"Mr. Wright, let''s sweep away the bad luck and make things prosperous from now on," Alby said,
handing over a generous gift bag.
The Mcguires were dumbfounded.
When had the Wright family''s status risen so high?
For the first time in her life, Katie felt like this birthday party was filled with ups and downs, making it
unforgettable.
Kareem couldn''t help but think, "Well, are you ever going to say it''s boring again? Is your face hurting?"
These people hade to show support for the Wright family!
The guests who had initially declined the Wright family''s banquet sat with the Mcguire family, feeling
ufortable and on edge.
When Mr. Mcguire arrived at Balfax Hotel and saw the stark contrast between the two parties, his
expression soured.
How could Cody, who was currently jobless and without any official position, dare to challenge the
Mcguire family?
Katie saw her father and rushed to him, teary-eyed. "Daddy..."
Mr. Mcguire patted her cheek gently. "It''s okay, Daddy''s here."
Carolyn was with him as well.
Following their arrival, another car pulled up, and Geoff and Mrs. Howlett stepped out together.
