Chapter 224


    Stevie didn’t really want to throw a party on his 50th birthday. After all, most big birthday parties


    were usually thrown to celebrate ages of sixty and above.


    But Becky felt guilty that she hadn’t been around to celebrate hisst three birthdays with him. So,


    she persuaded Stevie to host a grand birthday party this time.


    For Stevie, this was also a good opportunity to let everyone know that Becky was his daughter.


    Going forward, no one would dare to look down upon his lovely daughter anymore.


    Although the two of them had different reasons why they wanted the party, they both agreed that it


    must be thrown. And Stevie went ahead to n the hosting of a very borate event in celebration


    of his 50th birthday.


    Stevie had been in the business world for many years. As a result, he knew a lot of people. So, his


    birthday party was expected to be well attended.


    To make sure the celebration would be nothing short of a huge sess, Becky came back to


    Bluepond two days in advance to supervise everything about the event.


    The Ramos family was rich, but they always kept a low profile. In fact, this was the first time they


    would be hosting such a grand party.


    A lot of people had always wanted to meet Stevie and establish a good rtionship with him. This


    party presented them with the perfect opportunity.


    But the catch was that it was strictly by invitation. The Ramos family would carefully select the


    people they deemed worthy of attending their borate event.


    In total, there were one thousand invitation cards to be given out. Becky had already asked Talia to


    send several of the cards to close friends of the family. As for the rest, it was up to her to consider


    carefully and decide who would receive them.


    It was an easy task for Talia, though. She had been close to the family for a long time. Before she


    became Becky’s secretary, she had previously served as Stevie’s secretary for years.


    It was a well-known fact that the Ramos family hade into wealth quitete. Before Stevie got


    married to Vivien, he was not rich. Stevie had to build up his business empire from nothing.


    The Palmer family was different. Vivien’s brothers were both politicians, and her cousins, too, were


    not ordinary people.


    Compared with the Ramos family, the Palmers were much more powerful and influential.


    Since both families were connected by marriage, the Palmer family would be represented at


    Stevie’s 50th birthday party.


    This was the reason why virtually everyone wanted to get invited to the party.


    A family like the Casper family, for instance, given their position in society, would expect to be one


    of those invited. But before sending an invitation card to them, Talia went to Becky to seek for


    approval.


    Deep down in Becky’s heart, she wished that the Casper family would not be invited, but she didn’t


    want to do anything that would cause disaffection andpromise the Ramos family’s reputation in


    any way. So, she approved the invitation.

    Stevie had done business with Elmore several times. If they chose not to send an invitation card to


    the Casper family, the matter would quickly be a topic of discussion among them.


    The same applied to the Stanley family, which had an even deeper rtionship with Stevie.


    But so much had happened in thest few days that it was hard to say whether or not Devin would


    attend the party.


    Likewise, after everything that had happened with the Casper family, Becky felt Elmore would not


    send anyone to the party.


    So when Talia told her that Rory hade, Becky was quite surprised.


    But she didn’t show it. Instead, she acted as if she had expected it all along.


    As far as she was concerned, he was no different from a stranger now.


    To her surprise, she saw Devine in not long after Rory arrived.


    As Stevie’s daughter, Becky had a duty to wee every guest with a smile. That was the


    courteous thing to do.


    She could also avoid Rory and Stevie by slipping away, but she knew that if her father saw the men,


    his mood would turn sour.


    To keep them from him, Becky decided to meet them herself. So, grabbing a ss of champagne,


    she went over to wee them.


    Since it was such a grand and important event, Becky had donned a very beautiful dress and


    applied a touch of make-up for the asion. As a result, she was quite a center of attention.


    “Gentlemen, we’re d to have you here.”
