After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 28 A Gathering of the Four Wealthiest Families

Since 6 p.m., the Cooper manor had slowly filled with guests.

The living hall was splendidly decorated, and it looked extravagant.

As time went by, more and more guests went into the hall.

Miguel, who was in a black suit, walked in between the guests and was greeting people.

However, Michelle, the star of the night, hadn’t appeared at the ball.

Michelle’s absence wasn’t noticed by anyone.

Michelle wasn’t an attention-catcher, even for tonight.

Furthermore, the guests who came to the party tonight thought the birthday party was just an excuse to

invite them here. No one really took Michelle’s birthday seriously. Therefore, nobody asked for Michelle

as well.

At the same time.

The Sawyer family arrived at the living hall of the Cooper manor in their best dress.

Loretta’s gown was much flashier. She wore a long red gown and attracted all guests’ attention the

moment she stepped into the living hall. She looked feisty.

However, she was wearing an elegant smile so that people wouldn’t notice that she was pleased by the

flattery.

Miguel quickly approached them, “Lee, you’re here.”

“Sorry for being late. The traffic was hectic.”

“No, you’re not. You’re just in time.”

After some chatter.

“Where’s Michelle?” Loretta asked passionately.

“She’s still getting prepared. She’ll be down in a minute.”

“I’ve prepared a present for her.” Loretta would usually put on a mask for the outsiders.

“You shouldn’t have.” Miguel quickly thanked Loretta.

“Robert, welcome!” Miguel welcomed Robert with great enthusiasm, “I haven’t seen you appearing in

the eyes of the public. What an honour.”

“Nonsense. How can I not be here for your wife’s birthday?” Robert replied.

Robert was Oscar’s father. The leader of the four wealthiest families.

Robert’s wife, Venus Wells, stood beside him, followed by his eldest son, David Wells, his second son,

Thomas Wells, and his youngest son, Oscar.

All three of Robert’s sons greeted Miguel politely.

Miguel was amiable. He told Oscar, “I saw your presentation yesterday. I’m impressed.”

“I’m flattered. I was just being lucky.” Oscar was humble.

“That wasn’t just luck.” Miguel affirmed, “You’re smart and bright.”

“You need to stop praising him. He’ll become cocky.” Robert smiled, “He will need to keep up to your

future son-in-law.”

“Shall I remind you that extreme humble is also an act of cockiness?” Miguel cracked a joke.

Miguel didn’t want to talk about Charles.

At the same time, Edward arrived at the Cooper manor with his family.

“Edward is here.” Miguel said.

Edward approached Miguel with his wife, Justine, along with Susan, Henry and Manuel.

“Robert, you’re here.” Edward looked at Robert and greeted him.

The Wells family was now in-charged by the eldest son, so it was hard to see Robert attending any

social events. Edward never expected to see Robert at a birthday party like this.

“Well, you come here. How can I not?” Robert joked with Edward.

At the same time, Lee joined the group.

Now, the four wealthiest families in Northfield gathered here at a birthday party.

Including the Wells family, the Cooper family, the Phillips family, and the Sawyer family. Based on the

total of their wealth, all of them gathered at the busiest city, the Kensbury City.

Other than the four wealthiest families, there were two old and well-known families in Northfield.

Both the Balderston family and the Collins Family lived in the most powerful city in Northfield, North

End City.

Both two clans of the old families and the wealthy families didn’t have much to do with each other. After

all, they were both staying in a different city and responsible for different industries in the society.

But in fact.

The wealthy families needed protection from the old families, while the old families needed the money

from the wealthy families. Furthermore, the wealthy families wanted to become one of the old and

powerful families in the city, while the old families wanted to cut off the wealthy families’ resources.

No one could really tell if both were related or not.

Unless the wealthy families and the old families combined as one.

Just like Charles in the past life, he wanted to become the first person to possess the identity of a

member of both the wealthy family and the old family.

Hannah was standing on the stairwell of the second floor, observing the guests in the living hall.

Looking at the rich and famous people standing in her living hall, Hannah felt like Charles was just an

ordinary person. She didn’t understand why she would have helped Charles with all her heart, in

achieving a position where he couldn’t have reached at all by his capabilities.

Well, in this life, Charles wouldn’t qualify to become a member of the old family.

Hannah controlled her emotions and held Michelle’s hand.

Suddenly, the lights in the living hall went dark.

A spotlight was turned on and focused on two ladies on the second floor.

The guests’ attention was attracted by the spotlight and they saw the ladies standing on the second

floor immediately.

One of them was wearing a black sparkly gown, while the other one was wearing a white gown.

Both of them looked like angels in the dream. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain how Hannah and

Michelle could look so gorgeous that people were dazzled by their beauty.

Light music flew in the air.

Hannah held Michelle’s hand and walked down from the stairs on the red carpet from the second floor.

Michelle was nervous as she became the centre of attention of the guests.

She couldn’t believe what was in her sight.

She thought she was only going for a celebration dinner with Miguel. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

What was with this grand birthday party she saw?

Michelle nervously and carefully stepped down the stair behind Hannah’s footsteps.

The spotlight was following them as they walked.

When they arrived at the bottom of the stairs, Miguel appeared.

Miguel was wearing a set of suit, and he looked well-built. He didn’t gain weight as most middle-aged

men did, but instead, he looked gentle and elegant even when he was already in his 50s.

Miguel took a bow and reached out his hand.

He wanted to hold a hand of the most important woman in his life with the highest manner of chivalry.

Michelle was stunned, and she looked at Miguel in a daze. She never expected the surprise. Therefore,

she didn’t know how to respond to Miguel’s action.

Hannah put Michelle’s hand in Miguel’s.

Meanwhile, the living hall started to flow with a beautiful melody played by the orchestra.

Miguel led Michelle into the middle of the dance floor and started their first dance of the night under the

attention of the guests.

It was a beautiful and romantic dance.

The guests were surprised to see them.

They were first stunned, then they started gossiping.

“Oh my, is that Michelle? She looked like a different person. If Miguel wasn’t holding her, I won’t believe

that it is her.”

“The tiara she’s wearing is so pretty. Is that the thirty million sapphire from the charity banquet on her

tiara? It’s gorgeous.”

“Is that Michelle true figure? And she could dance so well?”

“This birthday party Miguel held for Michelle amazed me.”

In the living hall.

Somebody was so jealous that her eyes almost went green.
