    Chapter 325 The Video That Popped Up on the Screen


    Ss then carried on, “I didn’t expect that she would be the doctor hired by Landon to treat my


    grandfather and even she was stunned the moment she saw me. But then again, she still did her work


    professionally for my grandfather’s sake and she didn’t hesitate to take the fifty million fees from me.”


    Alex guffawed, “Ha ha ha, that does seem like her usual style of doing things! Not only did she manage


    to keep your mouth shut, but she also took fifty million from you!” Hayden taunted him too, “Most


    importantly, you weren’t pissed off by what she did at


    all!”


    The two buddies of Ss started mocking him without reservation. Then, Alex suddenly raised his


    eyebrows suggestively at him as he remarked, “However, I don’t think you actually suffered any loss by


    paying her that amount of money!” Knowing what he was trying to say, Ss red at him with some


    irritation but at the same time, he couldn’t help but agree with him because not only did he not suffer any


    loss, he actually made a great fortune out of the deal! At that juncture, the voice of a maid came from


    outside the room, “Young Master Nn, it’s time to cut the birthday cake; Old Man Nn’se down to


    the first floor.”


    Ss acknowledged it before heading downstairs with Alex and Hayden. The living room was already


    packed with guests at the moment. On the gigantic screen at the back of a tform on the right side of


    the living room, slides that showed the photos of Old Man Nn together with the rest of the family were


    ying. After offering his birthday wishes for Old Man Nn enthusiastically on the tform, the host


    invited Old Man Nn’s children and grandchildren to the stage to offer their wishes to him too.


    Ss’s usual stern and detached demeanor had returned when he went onstage as the head of the


    family. People who didn’t know him well enough could never imagine him to be the smug person he was


    when he talked about Cam just now because the difference between the two was simply too huge.


    Having taken over the microphone from the host, he nodded at the guests and started his speech in a


    crisp voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. First of all, I’d like to express my utmost gratitude on


    behalf of my family to all of you who made time to be here to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday.


    Although my grandfather is already a man at eighty-five, his mind is still sharp and his health is still


    robust. In fact, that’s the best thing that we hope for and the greatest wealth for us as his children and


    grandchildren. Grandpa, you’re the pir of strength of our family and you’re the presence that is capable


    of bringing all of us together. You’re the reason why our family exists and nothing in this world is more


    valuable than your presence in our family. Grandpa, I wish you a happy birthday and I hope theing


    years bring even


    more happiness and health!”


    As soon as he ended his speech, he was given a round of thunderous apuse by the guests. Old Man


    Nn’s eyes were glistening with ayer of moisture when he heard Ss’s speech. Staring at his


    grandson who was in his prime, he couldn’t help but feel bittersweet wondering how many more years he


    could stay by his grandson’s side. After leaving the stage, Ss made his way to his grandfather.


    “Grandpa, let’s get on stage to cut your birthday cake!” “Okay,” Old Man Nn responded before


    heading toward the stage obediently with Ss’s help. At that juncture, some of the lights in the living


    room were dimmed while someone was seen pushing a trolley that carried a ten-tier cake toward the


    stage. There were two candles in the shape of the numbers ‘8’ and ‘5’ ced on top of the cake. As the


    mes of the candles were flickering, the cake looked spectacrly beautiful. Without being cued,


    everyone started singing the birthday song while pping hands.


    When the cake was pushed to the tform, Ss looked at Old Man Nn and invited, “Grandpa, you


    should make the first cut.” With that, he took the cake knife from the maid with which he made the first


    cut by holding his grandfather’s hand. Of course, the first piece of the cake went to Old Man Nn. They


    then left it to the maid to distribute the rest of the cake to the guests. At that moment, everyone was


    enjoying the cake while offering their heartfelt wishes to Old Man Nn.


    Ss, who was worried that his grandpa might get too tired after standing for too long, instructed one of


    the maids to help him return to his room. Just as the rest of the guests were getting ready to leave the


    vi, the huge screen suddenly flickered as the slides were reced by a section of CCTV footage which


    started ying. It seemed to be showing one of the store rooms in the vi and there was a guy and a


    woman standing there with their backs facing the camera. Their conversation could barely be heard.


    “Put this in the wer.”


    That sentence sessfully drew the attention of the guests in the living room who were getting ready to


    leave. All of them stopped in their tracks and turned to stare at the screen.


    Ss, who was standing not far away from the tform, naturally saw the video too. He could even tell


    that the voice belonged to Aleena.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
