Chapter 288 - 287 Night Pot_1

The Global Hotel is part of the Bright-Sky International Group, with its presence in every provincial capital city.

In Five-river Province, this bustling city is not far from the Willson Building.

As it turned out, Julius Reed’s decision was extremely wise.

Luxury cars gathered at the entrance of the hotel, and the underground parking lot was already packed to capacity, the entire street clogged with traffic.

Although traffic police were continuously directing cars, the helpless drivers could only honk their horns from time to time to express their dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Julius Reed was like a breath of fresh air, cycling on the four-meter-wide sidewalk, singing: “Riding my beloved bicycle, it will never get stuck in traffic…”

Under the glaring eyes of the irate drivers, he locked his bicycle at the hotel entrance and swaggered inside.

At this time, the security check was especially strict at the hotel, with dozens of security guards standing inside and out.

Upon seeing Julius, one of the guards came over to inspect him and requested to see an invitation.

An invitation? How could there be one?

Thus, Julius had no choice but to call Ives Abbott, who then let him in.

“Thought you weren’t coming?”

Ives was quite surprised to see Julius.

Based on her understanding of Julius, no one could force him to do anything.

“Could it be you fancy Sophia Leocadia?”

Ives raised an eyebrow and huffed, “Sure enough, not a single man is good! Denzel, you better watch out, all these men are nothing but lechers.”

“Hmm.”

Lory Shaw still kept her head down, cautiously surveying the surroundings.

At this time, the Global Hotel was entirely booked, and anyone without an invitation could not enter.

Inside the hotel was bustling, a mix of lights converging, with men and women standing together, laughing and cursing jovially, all brimming with youthfulness.

“Sophia Leocadia sure knows how to put on a grand show!”

After walking into the hotel, Julius looked around and saw that the entire hall had been carefully planned with birthday elements everywhere.

In the center, a huge banner was hanging, reading “Happy Birthday Sophia Leocadia!”

Even the cups and cutlery used in the hotel were specially customized.

Every plate bore the name of Sophia Leocadia.

At the center of the tables, a photo of Sophia Leocadia wrapped in crystal was prominently placed.

Looking over the entire hall, there must have been at least a hundred tables.

The men and women here were all dressed extravagantly, aside from some local familiar faces, the rest were from out of town.

“Quiet!”

“Shh…”

Following a clamor, the hall instantly became silent.

Everyone’s eyes turned towards the hotel’s second floor.

About a minute later, a colorful beam of light shone on the staircase, and then a woman slowly descended, surrounded by companions.

“This is the Leocadia Family’s princess, Sophia Leocadia. How about that, isn’t she beautiful?”

Ives couldn’t take her eyes off the staircase, her eyes filled with envy.

“How can she be so beautiful?”

The usually brash Ives, at this moment, admitted defeat wholeheartedly.

“That’s because you lack experience,”

Julius said with a lack of patience.

When Sophia Leocadia descended the stairs, a thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.

Today, Sophia Leocadia was dressed in a long white gown, looking like a celestial being descending to earth under the soft lighting, drawing endless praise from the men.

“Who knows who will be so fortunate to win Sophia Leocadia’s heart!”

“If one could marry such a wife, it would truly be a life well spent!”

“I heard that the third young master of the Lee family from the capital, Fernando Lee, is also present today. There has been heated discussion about a potential marriage alliance between the Leocadia and Lee families; who knows if it’s true or not!”

All those present were wealthy young men from various places, and they conversed without any barriers.

When Fernando Lee’s name was mentioned, many men shook their heads and sighed.

It was rumored that the Leocadia family was planning a marriage alliance with the Lee family, and it was expected that this news would be announced soon after Sophia Leocadia returned to the capital.

These rich young men certainly didn’t dare to offend Fernando Lee.

After a series of complex ceremonies, Sophia Leocadia blew out the candles on her cake and began to make a wish.

“Sophia, what wish did you make?”

A group of girls surrounded Sophia Leocadia, asking curiously.

“If I tell you, it won’t come true! Sophia certainly won’t tell you guys!”

“Exactly! We hope that Sophia will marry a good man in the future.”

Facing her friends’ well-wishes, Sophia Leocadia smiled faintly.

Since the age of thirteen, her wish had been the same every year.

It was to see again the boy who had saved her from in front of a truck that day.

If it wasn’t for that boy’s appearance, perhaps her life would have ended then and there.

Although the Leocadia Family mobilized a large number of people afterwards to find the kind-hearted person who saved Sophia Leocadia, they gained nothing.

“Today is Sophia’s birthday, and I specially spent five hundred million to buy a jade cup. Only a goddess-like person like Sophia is worthy of this pure jade stone!”

Just at this moment, a young man in a white suit stepped out from the crowd, then clapped his hands.

A few servants carefully carried a glass box, inside which was a white jade cup.

“Five hundred million! Young Master Lee is really generous!”

“The Lee family from the capital, sure enough, is rich and powerful!”

“It seems that the marriage alliance is nine out of ten true!”

After witnessing Fernando Lee’s gift, these second-generation rich kids chose to remain silent.

They all brought gifts too, but Fernando Lee’s grand gesture made it embarrassing for anyone else to present theirs.

Seeing the generous gift from Fernando Lee, although Sophia Leocadia was feeling quite annoyed inside, she still showed a smile.

Many people might envy her family background, but only Sophia Leocadia knew how involuntary her life was.

From the moment she was born, she was nothing but a tool for a family alliance.

“What’s the matter? Don’t you like it?”

Fernando Lee saw that Sophia Leocadia had not said anything, and smiled as he opened the glass box, “Drink a cup of water from it every day, and you can maintain eternal youth. This white jade cup is a Cassius Dynasty relic. Even spending five hundred million, I had to pull some strings to get it.”

While introducing the white jade cup, a smug look naturally appeared on Fernando Lee’s face.

“Of course she wouldn’t like it!”

Just then, a highly discordant voice sounded, “That was originally a chamber pot. You’re asking her to drink water from it; who would be happy with that?”

After the words fell, the whole place burst into an uproar.

This was crashing Young Master Lee’s scene!

Looking toward the source of the voice, they saw two women and a man sitting at a table, with the man being the speaker.

“What did you just say?”

Fernando Lee’s expression darkened, yet he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor.

“I said, you’re handing out a chamber pot and asking someone to drink from it. If it were you, would you be happy?”

Julius Reed stood up from his seat and met Fernando Lee’s gaze, “I thought it was some rare treasure. Turns out it’s a chamber pot! You bring this as a birthday gift; isn’t it inauspicious?”

“Which family’s young master are you? Why have I never seen you before? And please, show your invitation!”

Fernando Lee’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a glint of killing intent began to emerge in his eyes.
