Sean felt a thrill of excitement at the prospect of taking Albert’s life tonight!


    His father had been correct; Don Albert was Charlie’s muscle in Aurous Hill!


    Tounch an attack on Charlie, they first needed to eliminate his muscle!


    But they didn’t just need to take him out; they had to im his power for themselves!


    This way, his power would serve as a stronghold for the Webb family as they aimed to establish themselves in Aurous Hill in the future!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    When that time came, Charlie would face the ultimate consequence for disrespecting them and for pursuing Sean’s girlfriend!


    The Quinton family and the White family would also suffer for not siding with the Webb family!


    Donald nced at Sean and advised, “You need to learn to keep yourposure and maintain a neutral expression. Don’t let your true feelings be so obvious.”


    Sean quickly wiped the grin from his face. “Got it, Dad!”


    “Good,” Donald replied, shifting his focus away from Charlie and asking, “Have you prepared the birthday gift for Lord Moore?”


    Sean affirmed, “Yes, I have. I found out that Lord Moore appreciates the works of Johannes Vermeer. He has a small collection, so I arranged for a copy of The Geographer from our home gallery to be his birthday gift. It’s valued at two to three billion; I’m sure he’ll love it!”<fn12dc> Latest content published on FιndNovel</fn12dc>


    Donald nodded, a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes.


    The Geographer was a true masterpiece in the Webb family’s collection. With this painting as a strategic offering, he was confident it would open doors with the Moore family, potentially paving the way for a marriage alliance.


    Finally, the birthday banquetmenced.


    Lord Moore took to the small stage, expressing his gratitude to all the guests foring to his 80th birthday celebration.


    After a brief speech, the next segment involved guests taking turns to congratte Lord Moore and present their gifts.


    Two bodyguards in sleek ck suits brought an imperial armchair onto the stage to help Lord Moore take a seat.


    Reuben’s father, along with his third and fourth uncles, were the first to step up to the stage.


    They knelt respectfully before Lord Moore and presented their gifts one at a time.


    Oscar, the family’s head butler, stood beside Lord Moore to receive the gifts, announcing each one along with its value to the audience.


    This was a long-established practice among the upper-ss families.


    “The eldest son, Theodore Moore, presents a tropical ind in the Maldives, valued at 500 million!”


    Gasps of astonishment filled the banquet hall!


    Theodore’s generosity was indeed impressive, gifting an entire ind!


    Theodore was Reuben’s father and Jasmine’s uncle.


    He addressed Lord Moore, saying, “Father, I heard you weren’t feeling well recently, so I got you a tropical ind to escape the cold when winter arrives!”


    Lord Moore smiled and nodded appreciatively. “Excellent, thank you, Theodore!”


    “The third son, Branson Moore, presents a vi in Hawaii, valued at 200 million!”


    A younger middle-aged man, clearly not as old as Theodore, added quickly, “Father, I never expected Theodore would give you an ind! My vi seems insignificant inparison!”


    Lord Moore responded warmly, “Nonsense, my dear son. I value your thoughtfulness. Thank you for your gift.”


    “The fourth son, Anders Moore, presents a luxury yacht worth 150 million!”


    Another middle-aged man chimed in, “Father, Branson and I coborated on the yacht and vi for you. When you visit Hawaii, you can spend a day or two on the yacht.”


    He added with a smile, “But we didn’t foresee that Theodore would outdo us with an ind! We can always sail you to the Maldives!”


    Lord Mooreughed heartily. “Excellent! When winteres, we can vacation on the ind in the Maldives!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
