Patrick and Susanne, with the support of Alexander and Amber, made their way into the small

courtyard.

The commotion at the neighborhood’s entrance had left all the relatives and friends utterly astounded.

They trailed behind the group, with

even Amber’s sole uncle, Kolten Braine, not daring to step ahead of them.

Such was the vast chasm that status and identity could carve between people. No one, no matter how

close, dared to cross that invisible

line.

“Hmph!”

After everyone had settled in, Carmela could not help herself but shoot Alexander a withering look. “It’s

like you can never have enough money, right? However, Gavin is all about giving back. He doesn’t give

a hoot about cash!”

“Just the other day, an announcement came and Gavin’s the new town mayor. You should’ve seen the

line of bigwigs from major companies at our door, tripping over themselves to get on his good side!”

Gavin, the new town mayor?!

The relatives paused, then broke into a chorus of compliments. “Carmela, why keep such news under

wraps? We’re right here in the old town. With Gavin as mayor, we’re all in for a treat!”

“Exactly! I’ve got some land in town. Gavin, do you think you could pull some strings and get a house

up on that plot? We’re running short on building space, and that land shouldn’t go to waste!”

“A piece of cake for Gavin, just a word from him…”

Back and forth they went. In no time, Carmela and Gavin were the stars of the show, eclipsing even the

guest of honor.

Alexander and Amber were left without so much as a nod.

“Amber.”

Carmela beamed with smugness, tapping her silverware before Amber. “Your husband, Alexander, he’s

got to be loaded to afford such a car, huh?“–

“Our town’s wealthiest resident, Mister Felix Parker, boasting a fortune well exceeding 30 million

dollars, practically bows down to the influence of my family’s empire. What is your family’s net worth?

How does it compare to mine?”

Amber set her silverware down, offering a soft smile, “Aunt Carmela, let’s not talk about that. My

family…”

“I’ll handle this.”

Alexander shot Carmela a look, cutting off Amber’s response. He said calmly, “Missus Lowe, you might

not be aware, but Amber is the current general manager of New Chesire Group and the one and only

rightful heir to the entire Chesire fortune. As for the total assets… His grin widened a touch, “New

Chesire Group is the top dog in Ol‘ Mare, as well as the Severn Group! Missus Lowe, rings a bell

doesn’t it?”

The Severn Group?!

Alexander’s revelation hit.Carmela like a ton of bricks. Her mouth was left hanging, her hefty frame

shaking uncontrollably!

The Severn Group, once the talk of Ol‘ Mare, was a titan. Its sheer size and influence were legendary,

a giant among the ranks in all of

Tormora.

Such a behemoth could not possibly be matched by some small–town tycoon!

“That’s a load of bull!”

Carmela’s heart raced with panic, her head shaking wildly in denial. “Anything else, and I might be able

to believe that. But her, the Chesire heiress? No way that can’t be true!”

“Where had all the Chesire men gone? No way a lady’s running the show!”

Alexander kept his smile as he replied, “The old Chesire clan’s history goes. New Chesire swallowed

up the Chesire Group. My father–in-

law’s the big boss now, and Amber’s calling the shots as general manager.”

He glanced over at Susanne, his smile widening. “Right, Mom?”

Susanne paused, a lightbulb moment, and then her face lit up with thanks.

Her son–in–law was making her birthday a day to shine, to finally show them all.

“Alex has got it right.”

She forked a slice of meat onto Alexander’s plate, giving Carmela a grin. “Sis, I’ve had my share of

tough times, but thanks to Alex’s help, I’m living it up now!“.

“Living it up…”

Carmela bit back her anger, breathing fast and her face contorting. She could not stomach that turn of

events!

She was the one married to Gavin, the star of that household, but today, her big sister stole the

spotlight, smacking her pride like a backhand. Those envious looks from the less fortunate kin on

Susanne, ignoring Carmela completely!

“Don’t get worked up, Carmela.”

Gavin glanced at his pricey Rolex, then shot Alexander a sly smirk. “Time’s ticking. They should be

here any minute…”

Right on cue.

“Mayor Lowe! Is Mayor Lowe around?”

Just outside the quaint courtyard, a group of middle–aged men in sharp suits and polished shoes

approached, their arms laden with fancy teas and top–shelf liquors. They called out their

congratulations as they walked.

“Happy eightieth to Mayor Lowe’s mother–in–law! What a wonderful occasion! Wishing her joy and

endless health on her birthday!”
