Time flew by. Soon, it was the day. of the banquet.

The party was supposedly Arthur's birthday banquet, but word had it that it was actually a blind date arranged by Arthur specifically for Gabriel.

Back in the Campbell family, Arthur took good care of Hazel, and the birthday banquet invitation was also for her and her daughter.

Hazel planned to present her gift and then leave.

The Campbell's mansion covered an area of around 107,000 square feet and was situated in the most scenic location in Seattle. It had an independent banquet hall that could accommodate thousands of guests, and the outside

outside lawn was also beautifully decorated.

The dazzling banquet hall was filled with handsome men and beautiful women as the lights came on. The melodious music flowed gently, and a faint fragrance filled the air. Every detail showcased the luxury and taste of the Campbells.

When Hazel appeared at the door of the banquet hall, holding her daughter, everyone turned their heads to look at them.

A tailored black velvet evening gown, with an elegant style and a grand cut, perfectly outlined her figure. The diamond necklace and earrings, adorned with pink seashell pearls, became the finishing touch to this ensemble.

And in her arms, Leila, wearing a pink princess dress, appeared even fairer with her delicate features and a pair of watery eyes. She was looking around the hall curiously. Seeing so many people looking at her, she was not shy at all and showed a sweet smile to them. "Whose daughter is this? She is so adorable!" "That woman looks familiar. She seems to be the former daughter-in-law of the Campbell family. What's her name?"

"Oh my! The woman and her daughter are so pretty!"

Leila was beautiful and adorable, immediately capturing the hearts of all the ladies present. The driver delivered the gifts to the designated location and then returned to the car, waiting for them.

Byron, who was taking care of the guests, saw Hazel and immediately came over to lead the way, respectfully saying, "Ms. Robinson, this way, please."

He followed Arthur's earlier instructions and took them to the upstairs VIP lounge. Hazel didn't see her two sons at the scene and asked Byron, "Where are Jaxon and Joshua?" "Jaxon and Joshua are in the main building. They'll come later."

Leila stayed obediently in Hazel's arms throughout, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. After Byron had escorted them to the lounge, he went to see Arthur.

Shortly after, Arthur arrived.

He spoke cheerfully, "Zell, there you are. I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become even more beautiful.'

As she met Arthur again, Hazel couldn't express how she felt.

She smiled and replied, "You still look so great."

Arthur replied, "This is your daughter, Leila, right?"

Leila had been watching him ever since he entered, without a trace of fear in her eyes.

Without needing Hazel's reminder, Leila heard her name and immediately sat up straight on the couch.

She nodded at him seriously and said, "Hello, Mr. Campbell."

Arthur liked Leila even more as he stared at her.

Leila's face was adorned with a radiant smile, with dimples faintly visible and her bright eyes brimming with liveliness.

"Leila, you should call me great-grandpa."

Hazel noticed the tenderness in Arthur's eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She felt like he knew that Leila was Gabriel's daughter.

Leila tilted her head in confusion. Her eyelashes were long and thick, making her eyes appear even bigger and more beautiful.

She turned around and glanced at her mother. Seeing Hazel nod, she called Arthur great-grandpa. Upon hearing this, Arthur happily replied.

He walked over to the main seat of the sofa and sat down, extending his hand towards Leila. "Come here. Leila, come to me."

As Hazel didn't stop her, Leila obediently walked over to Arthur.

She was not afraid at all of the stern vibe that Arthur had accumulated over the years. She habitually climbed onto the elder's lap and sat down, looking up with a smiling face, and called him again, "Great- grandpa."

Even Jaxon and Joshua, who grew up by his side, would always stand obediently aside whenever they saw Arthur. They wouldn't be so attached to him as Leila did.

"Hi Leila," Arthur replied, and his heart was melted by Leila's cuteness.

He looked at Hazel meaningfully and said, "It has been a long time since a baby girl was born in our family."

In Arthur's mind, he never acknowledged Tina as the heir of the Campbell family. At this moment, Byron knocked on the door and entered, followed by four maids, each holding a beverage that children like to drink as well as various delicately shaped snacks. The moment the door opened, Jade, who had come specifically to fish for information, happened to overhear Arthur's words.

She gritted her teeth hard and showed a sinister face as she hid in the dark corner. If it weren't for Arthur's favoritism, she wouldn't have had such a difficult time all these years, almost unable to remain fine on the surface!

Hazel destroyed Yusuf. Arthur refused to acknowledge Jade and her daughter, and Andrew was crazy about his mistresses. Jade blamed all this on Hazel.

Just then, she received an anonymous email. As she read it, her eyes lit up, and she gave a sinister 07:39

In the room, Arthur had someone bring the custom-made necklace with a white jade pendant for Leila. The smoothness, whiteness, fineness, and perfection were all top-notch. It was a unique work of art.

He directly put it around Leila's neck and looked at her affectionately, saying, "This jade pendant will bring you good luck, my baby girl."

Leila grabbed the white jade pendant, feeling that it was as smooth as the stone her uncle had bought for her.

She thought for a moment. In fact, she had many stones like this in her little cabinet, with various colors like green and pink. However, it didn't affect her liking for the newest one, which had a beautiful little bird on it.

Arthur was still unaware that Leila mistook the phoenix on the jade pendant for an ordinary bird. Leila said, "Thank you, Great-grandfather. Love you."

She remembered what her mother said to her. If she received a gift, she should say

thank you.

Just a couple of days ago, Jaxon taught her some words. So, she could put it into practice now. She blinked her eyes and looked at Arthur, who was smiling, and thought he must be pleased

now.

Hazel suppressed her uneasiness and said, "Arthur, this gift is too valuable. Leila is still take it." young to

Upon hearing Hazel's words, Leila immediately tried to take off the jade pendant from her neck, but she was stopped by Arthur.

"Zell, just a piece of jade. This is a blessing from me for my great-granddaughter," he said. He was clearing feeling out Hazel. With his eyes fixed on Hazel's eyes, he tried to see something from her face. Hazel calmly looked at him.

"Arthur, Leila is my child and has absolutely no connection to the Campbell family. If you don't believe me, feel free to have a paternity test done." Her tone was unhurried.

Arthur looked at Hazel's calm demeanor, and his thought that Leila was his great-granddaughter wavered slightly.

"Whether she's my great-granddaughter, she can keep it anyway."

He rubbed Leila's head and said, "Leila, do you like this jade pendant? Your two brothers each have one."

Originally, when Leila heard her mother's words, she didn't want it anymore, as she had already got so many at home. However, when she heard that Jaxon and Joshua also had one, she couldn't help but brighten her eyes.

Leila, "They both have one?"

Arthur nodded and replied, "Yes, they do."

Because of Arthur's birthday banquet, Jaxon and Joshua were also brought over here in advance. Hearing that Hazel and Leila had already arrived, the two of them couldn't wait to finish their extracurricular training, put on their suits, and come here to meet

them.

"Great-grandfather."

"Mom, Leila!"

It had been a day or two since they had seen Hazel and Leila. Both Jaxon and Joshua missed them a lot.

As they entered the door, they first greeted Arthur and then came over to hold Leila's hand, wanting to take her to their own playroom to play.

"Leila, go play with your two brothers. I need to talk with your mom. She'll go to you later, OK? The three children looked at Hazel simultaneously.

She saw that both Jaxon and Joshua had servants by their side, and nodded towards them, "Jaxon, Joshua, take care of Leila.

If Hazel had known what would happen later, she would never have let her daughter out of her sight. Unfortunately...
