Being rich was awesome.

Aella still remembered her own 18th birthday-her parents threw a grand party, elegant and extravagant.

But when it came to her younger brother Clyde’s coming-of-age, all they did was take a family photo and cook a nice meal at home.

It wasn’t because they couldn’t afford more.

Miriam just said, “We’re regular folks now. No need to go overboard.”

A few days later came Daniel’s sister, Aurelia Hill’s 18th birthday.

Aella took Clyde along, and with Sayer driving, the three of them headed to the Hills’ mansion in the West District.

At eight that evening, they ran into Mason and Henry at the gate.

As soon as Henry spotted Aella, he ran over, shouting, “Aella, you look so pretty tonight!”

Sayer gave the boy a playful pat on the backside. “Hey, little dude, tell me the truth-did your dad teach you to say that?”

Henry turned to look at his father. “Dad, isn’t Aella super pretty tonight?”

Mason smiled and nodded. “Dr. Reid’s beauty is well-known. Henry doesn’t need to exaggerate.”

Aella knew it was just polite talk, but compliments always felt nice.

Clyde bent down and scooped Henry into his arms. “Come on, say Clyde’s handsome.”

Henry wrapped his arms around Clyde’s neck and grinned. “Clyde’s the best-way cooler than my dad!”

Sayer tugged gently on Henry’s ear. “What about me? Am I the most handsome one here?”

Even at his age, Henry knew how to flatter. He gave Sayer a string of compliments.

Aella laughed. “Mason, your kid’s really something.”

Mason met her eyes and replied with a calm smile. “Kids tell the truth. Both you and Clyde are exceptional-looks and character included.”

Aella teased, “Thanks, Mason. I happen to think we’re pretty great too.”

They chatted and entered the hall together.

Aella wore an almond-gray off-shoulder gown that hugged her waist. It was understated but elegant.

The moment she walked in with Mason and Sayer, all eyes turned their way.

“Isn’t that Mr. Winter’s ex-wife? She’s gorgeous.”

“Who are the two men with her? Never seen them before.”

“And the kid she’s holding-who’s that?”

“She just divorced Mr. Winter and already has other men hanging around. Beautiful women really are trouble.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. That’s Mr. Fulford, one of the top international lawyers. Only a family like the Hills could invite him.”

“The one on her right looks familiar-that’s the youngest Locke son. I heard he’s rich, wild, and dangerous.”

Upstairs, Tyrone stood at the railing, watching everything below.

His eyes locked on Aella’s smile as she chatted with Mason. His hand gripped the railing so tightly his knuckles turned white.

Next to him, Lysander Hill raised a brow. “Mr. Winter, are you jealous?”

On Tyrone’s other side, Brad Keller chuckled. “Careful with that jealousy, man. Too much and you’ll drop dead.”

Tyrone’s face darkened.

Lysander patted his shoulder. “Since you’re here, why not go down and

say hi?”

Down in the banquet hall, Aella had just greeted Daniel when Jenny suddenly spoke up.

“It’s Aurelia’s big day. I wonder what gift Dr. Reid brought?”

Aella glanced at her and immediately saw the intent behind the question. She ignored her.

The two friends beside Jenny raised their voices on purpose. “Jenny, which rich family is this

Dr. Reid from?”

Jenny cleared her throat. “Dr. Reid isn’t from a rich family. She’s Mr. Winter’s ex-wife.”

Jenny was an illegitimate daughter of the Townsends family.

If she wanted to play dirty, Jenny would make her regret it.
