Her words seemed to carry the weight of the old grudge with Sally. Maggie and Jason both
nodded in understanding. “We understand.”
Maggie had also given invitations to Johnny and Jessica, who had just arrived. They were both aware of the tensions between the Miller family, the Green family, and the Brown
family.
Upon hearing the situation, Jessica couldn’t help but curse, “Those people are despicable!
I’ve never met anyone so disgusting!”
Johnny patted Maggie’s shoulder comfortingly, trying to ease her frustration.
A moment later, his phone vibrated. He checked the message, paused, and then said, “I’ll
bring someone for you.”
Maggie was puzzled. “Hm?”
Johnny smiled. “You’ll know soon enough.”
Meanwhile, at the Green family’s banquet hall.
The Green matriarch and Miles Green were both grinning ear to ear as they watched the endless stream of guests arriving.
As Maggie had guessed, the Green family certainly remembered the matriarch’s birthday. In fact, after all these years of celebrating each other’s birthdays, they couldn’t forget it
even if they wanted to.
The decision to schedule their housewarming on this day had been deliberate.
Thinking back to when they had wanted to move into a house across from the Miller family, only to have their plans interrupted by Maggie, who had called in Franklin for help, they
were furious.

But in the end, Franklin had compensated them, and it turned out to be a blessing in
disguise.
Now, they had the satisfaction of knowing that they had moved the housewarming to the same day as the Miller family’s birthday celebration. They had effectively stolen all of the Miller family’s guests.
Sophia Green whispered with a laugh, “I bet there are hardly any guests left at the Miller
family’s banquet now. Ha! They spent so much effort preparing, but in the end, they couldn’t even keep their guests.
It’s such a disgrace! If this news gets out, people will see that the Miller family has lost their strength and connections. Who’s going to want to do business with them in the future?”
Tracy gave her hand a light pat and smiled. “Exactly.”
Although the Green family had invited many powerful figures from the capital, many of
them weren’t even familiar faces.
But that didn’t matter to them; what mattered was that they had outmaneuvered the Miller
family and taken all their guests.
Today’s housewarming banquet by the Green family was, in truth, as much about forging connections as it was about celebrating their new home.
The diamond bracelet that Franklin had purchased for Julia at the auction was already
being worn by Julia that very evening.
The night of the auction, Franklin had spent over millions on four items, a fact that was widely known. The attention he had lavished on Julia had many in the room eager to win
her favor.
Seeing her wearing the bracelet, many couldn’t help but flatter her. “That bracelet suits you perfectly. Mr. Wilson has great taste.”
Though the guests were eager to flatter her, it wasn’t hard to see why. Julia was undéniably beautiful, and everything she wore looked stunning on her.

Dressed in formal attire today, the diamond bracelet made her look even more elegant and
noble.
“Thank you,” Julia responded with a polite smile.
To curry favor with the Brown family, many guests had done their homework. It wasn’t long before someone ventured to mention Julia’s grandmother’s love for antiques.
“I heard that your grandmother, Old Madam Brown, loves collecting antiques. Was that antique vase at the auction a special gift from Mr. Wilson for her?”
The person used the word “gift,” which clearly indicated that they believed Franklin had already considered the Brown family as his own.
Julia nodded in acknowledgment. “Yes.”
The vase, indeed, had greatly pleased Old Madam Brown. Every time she thought of it, a smile crept up on her face. After all, it had been an antique worth several millions.
It was hard not to acknowledge Franklin’s sincerity and generosity toward her granddaughter Julia, and his extravagant gestures had certainly made a lasting impression.
When Old Madam Green heard this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. As a senior member of Julia’s family, Old Madam Brown had an antique vase, while she herself had nothing comparable.
But then Julia mentioned that Franklin had bought two other items that night–each worth over several millions, more expensive than the vase.
The thought that at least one of those might be a gift for the Green family lifted Old Madam
Green’s spirits.
At this moment, Harry and Levi had arrived.
Upon seeing them, the Green and Brown family members immediately walked over to greet
them, their faces all smiles.
After all, these two individuals held significant status in the capital, and they knew the

importance of maintaining a strong relationship with them.
Sophia had met Harry before, and when she saw him again, her face immediately flushed beneath her delicate makeup.
Seeing her daughter in this state, Tracy couldn’t help but smile.
The Becker family, like the Wilson family, was one of the top–tier wealthy families in the capital. Harry Becker himself was an outstanding individual, and Sophia’s admiration for
him was evident.
Naturally, the Green family was thrilled by the prospect of their daughter and Harry getting
together.
With Julia and Franklin forming a promising pair, if Sophia could also win Harry’s heart, the Green family would be well–positione
