Chapter 201 The Reputation Of Finnegan

The banquet officially began.

Although Soren wasn’t fond of grand celebrations, Jeremiah and William invited many guests, arranging more than thirty tables for the occasion.

Shortly after the feast began, guests started presenting birthday gifts.

Representing the Langdon family, Mandy gifted a customized calligraphy set. While not extravagantly priced, Soren appreciated the thoughtful gesture.

Influential figures like Gilbert and Winston also presented modest yet practical gifts.

None of these items were particularly expensive as they recognized Soren’s preference for usefulness over opulence.

Indeed, Soren was very pleased with the birthday gifts. So thoughtful of you. Thank you!”

As the number of guests giving gifts dwindled, Bruce, who had deliberately waited until now, shot Timothy a look.

The latter understood and approached with an exquisite wooden box.

Feeling the gaze of everyone, Timothy stood tall and confident.

When he reached the main table, he gave à slight bow. “Old Mr. Caulder, this is a birthday gift from the Jadeborough Zimmermans-a two-hundred-year-old snowleaf worth three million. I wish you good health and happiness in life.”

Millicent proudly remarked, “So far, our family’s gift is the most expensive. Old Mr. Caulder will surely be delighted.”

However, the smiling Soren suddenly became serious and waved his hand, saying, “This item is too valuable. Take it back.”

Huh?

The unexpected rejection left everyone bewildered.

Millicent, wanting to make a splash, was particularly dumbfounded.

Is this old man out of his mind? Why is he rejecting a snowleaf worth three million?

Only now did Finnegan notice them.

A mischievous grin played on the edges of his lips. “Are the Zimmermans really that ostentatious?”

The birthday gifts presented to Soren are merely a token of kind gesture, yet the Zimmermans opted for something extravagant. Do they not realize that Soren, with his standing, values sentiment over material extravagance?
