The room fell into a stunned silence at his introduction.
“The young master of the Abbott family himself! Cheryl's luck is unbelievable!”
“Indeed! The Abbotts are a leading family among Drunham City’s elite,
and their corporation is a powerhouse with wealth to match!”
“Watch Cheryl strut now. She’s just been snubbed by the Hughes family, and now
she’s rubbing shoulders with the Abbotts!”
Wasyl stood with an air of superiority, casting a dismissive glance at the lesser
families gathered in the hall. Their mere presence seemed
like an unwelcome reminder of the social ladder he stood atop.
Cheryl basked in the attention and envious stares from the crowd, her vanity
swelling with pride.
“Hahaha, thank you!”
Reginald chuckled as he accepted the ornate box. Upon opening it, he found an
expensive multivitamin inside, eliciting gasps of
amazement from the onlookers.
Cheryl seized the moment to introduce, “Grandpa, this is an expensive
multivitamin from a renowned wellness center that Mr. Abbott bought
in San Jemison. It's known for increasing one’s lifespan!”
Reginald, feeling the weight of his years, was all too aware of his mortality. The
promise of increasing his lifespan through the
multivitamin brought a grin so wide that his eyes nearly disappeared into joyful
creases.
Wasyl's thoughtful gift had won Reginald's heart, earning him a coveted spot
right beside the old man.

“Isn't that Liam next to Celena? What's going on... Why are they here today?”

Celena must have brought Liam and
that illegitimate child there on
purpose, thought one of the guests
with a sneer. “After Reginald kicked
her out of the family, she became
nothing but spiteful.” The content is

Whispers and snickers from the crowd made Celena bow her head her gaze
dropping to her shoes as tears blurred her vision.

spinning, leaving her at a loss on how to confront their insults.

For seven long years, she had faced
disdain and shame, all while raising
