Chapter 318

Evadne sat up involuntarily, her heart pounding in her chest as she fixed her gaze on the stage.

Debby, the closest to her, noticed the change in her demeanor and saw the deepening color in her sister’s eyes.

The crowd’s attention was once again drawn away from Avery and onto the stage.

“Hey! This is a gift from my grandson, my grandson!” Hamilton excitedly patted Cassius on one side and Jeff on the other.

He knew his grandson would step up. Hamilton thought, “He couldn’t let that cunning Chambers boy steal the show, could he?” “Hey, Jeff, your youngest seems to have a thing for llana, doesn’t he?” Hamilton asked, his white eyebrows raised in mischief.

“Ilana?”

“I mean Evadne. That’s her nickname, I’m used to calling her that.” Hamilton corrected himself.

Jeff pursed his lips, his expression unreadable. “Our youngest has always been a free spirit, I don’t really know what he’s thinking” “You don’t know?”

Hamilton chuckled, “On Myra’s birthday, your boy pulls out an antique worth over 3 million. If that’s not trying to impress Emeric, then what is? Seems like he’s really got his heart set on Evadne.”

“The affairs of the younger generation are too complicated” Jeff’s smile was a bit stiff.

“Even so, I do have to chime in.”

Hamilton leaned back comfortably, a triumphant look on his face. “Evadne’ll definitely end up with my grandson. So, Jeff, my advice to you is to tell your boy there are plenty of fish in the sea. With Avery’s talents and looks, he can surely find someone more suitable. No need to waste precious time on someone he can’t have.”

-Jeff was taken aback and could only manage a sheepish smile.

Even Cassius, sitting beside him, couldn’t hide his surprise, his lips curling in a small smirk.

Mr. Hamilton, always playing his cards close to his chest. It showed just how charismatic and daring he was in his youth.

Beneath the shadows, a handsome face was shrouded in an icy frost.

He expected Thaddeus to give a gift, but he didn’t expect him to make such a grand gesture. It completely caught him off guard!

At that moment, the host brought another tray covered in red cloth and placed it on the display table.

At the same time, steady footsteps echoed from behind Avery.

With a cold gaze, he turned to see Thaddeus, dignified and composed, making his appearance.

“Mrs. Myra, this is my birthday gift to you.”

Thaddeus stood next to Avery, his handsome features like something out of a painting, his eyes twinkling with a gentle smile. “1 wish you a happy birthday and all the best.”

His courteous demeanor was that of a true gentleman.

Hamilton couldn’t hide his grin, his grandson was clearly superior to that bespectacled boy!

Evadne glanced at Thaddeus, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

What she was really curious about, however, was what this filthy man had chosen as a gift for Myra.

Avery had already set a high bar with his unique and expensive antique. What could Thaddeus possibly present to outshine him?

“Thank you for your wishes, Mr. Thaddeus. I’m honored that you and Mr. Hamilton could join my birthday celebration.” Myra replied graciously, her demeanor warm and welcoming.
