Chapter 671: Chapter 671

In an instant, applause thundered!

“Although Chairman Thompson didn’t give Celeste any houses or jewelry, he injected $5 billion into the

foundation! It is already a grand gesture!”

“A typical wealthy lady’s birthday banquet would usually consist of gifts like jewelry, but Chairman

Thompson is so creative. This meant something important to Celeste! When word gets out, it will boost

Celeste’s image and increase the popularity of the Thompson family. It’s a win-win situation!”

Under the stage, Nigel, Lance, and Asher sat at the same table.

“Ahem… What kind of technology and anti-aging methods did this old geezer use behind my back?

Why isn’t he showing signs of aging?”

Lance muttered with jealousy and asked Asher, who was sitting beside him. “Asher, what’s your

father’s skincare routine? How does he manage to look so young? Come on, tell me the secret.”

“He must have put on a little makeup,” Asher smiled humbly.

These two friends had been competing about their appearance for decades!

“Oh! I knew it!”

Lance suddenly inched closer, winking. “Which makeup artist did your father hire? The result is quite

natural. Can you introduce them to me?”

Asher was speechless.

Listening on the side, Nigel could not help but feel amused.

The Thompson family sat at one table, happily clapping at this moment.

Amelia watched as her mother held back tears of joy on the stage. Suddenly, she could not hold back

and cried silently.

“Amelia?”

Mila sat beside Amelia and noticed that the latter was crying. Panicking, Mila hurriedly took some

tissues and passed them to her under the table, asking softly, “Why are you crying, darling?”

“It’s nothing… It’s nothing, Aunt Mila.”

Amelia took the tissues and wiped her tears, saying in a trembling voice, “I’m just so happy for Mom.”

Mila’s heart warmed, and she gently stroked Amelia’s silky hair.

In their complex family, the other kids, including Bella, still kept a distance. Only this youngest child

treated her like a real mother.

Although Mila did not mind the others, it still warmed her heart.

“Yeah, you should be happy.”

“Actually… I’ve always thought that Dad didn’t care much about Mom.”

Amelia wondered what had gotten into her tonight, with many emotions flooding her mind. “I’m also the

most useless daughter.

Your daughter is the future First Lady of Sentania, and Bella was not only a goddess in the jewelry

industry, but she could also manage the hotel for Dad. But I don’t know anything. I could only drag all of

you down.”

“Amelia, don’t think like that.”

Mila felt upset and hugged Amelia. “Your father had told us many times in private that he hoped you,

the youngest daughter of the

Thompson family, could be a carefree and pampered lady at home.

To him, his children’s accomplishments are not important. What matters is that you all have a happy

and smooth life. Also, your father loves you and your mother. Although he doesn’t say it, it doesn’t

mean he doesn’t love you. We need to judge by his actions, right?”

Listening to Mila’s words, Amelia leaned on her shoulder, nodding with tears in her eyes.

Soon, several prominent guests presented their gifts, all valued at millions of dollars.

In front of the richest family in Hatchbay, anything less than that would make them look like fools.

“The next gift is from Christopher Iverson, the fourth son of Group’s Chairman!”

Just as the emcee’s voice fell, a spotlight shone on Christopher.

Everyone subconsciously glanced at the Thompson family’s tabl including Bella. She slightly turned her

head, curiously looking at Christopher, who remained calm and composed.

“He prepared a gift privately?!”

Charles’ gaze darkened as he gritted his teeth. “He’s so calculative.

He’s always thinking about pleasing the Thompson family and showing off!”

“What’s the point of it?”
