Chapter 20 Birthday Party It had been raining in Ocpeace City for a week. The monsoon season made people gloomy; everything was seemingly wet and moldy. The president's office in Godfrey Group was filled with the aroma of coffee.

Theodore had just finished a meeting. He signed a document and handed it to Moses. Theodore instructed, "Get the finance department to double-check it. If there's no problem, get the law firm to talk to the clients." "Yes, sir." "Regarding Mr. Harper's projects, pressure them to lower the price. If they refuse, then hint to them that Greatsky Group is negotiating with us and they offered a better price too." "Yes, sir. If nothing goes wrong, we'll definitely get Mr. Harper's project. The sales department is skimming through the contract." Theodore hummed in response and nodded. He picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"By the way, Mr. Godfrey, Miss Selena Trevino sent you an invitation." Moses fished out an invitation card from a pile of documents and placed it on the desk. He continued, "This Saturday is Miss Selena's birthday. The Trevino family will be holding a birthday party at Seacloud Hotel." "Selena?" "Previously, our company invested in a movie and she's the lead actress for the movie. You've met her at the collaboration dinner." Naturally, Theodore knew Selena. Selena was not only the lead actress for that movie but also Everleigh's younger sister. "Mr. Godfrey, I know you're not interested in parties like this. I'll prepare a gift for her and tell her that you're busy..." Theodore narrowed his eyes at the invitation card. He parted his lips and interrupted, "It's okay. I'll be free on Saturday." Moses was taken aback. After a few moments, he snapped back to his senses and replied, "Yes, sir, I'll let them know." Theodore did not touch the invitation card on the desk. Instead, he held the report on the two children. Moses had prepared it for him a few days ago.

Theodore flipped to the first page and spotted the children's date of birth.

It happened to be seven years ago. That was when Everleigh broke up with him and called off the engagement.

Could he be the children's father? Theodore's face darkened.

Saturday was sunny and cloudless.

Everleigh followed the address on the invitation and arrived early at the venue.

When she received an invitation from Selena, she thought that someone must have made a mistake. However, her phone number and nwere correct. The card was meant for her. It occurred to Everleigh that Selena might be up to something.

However, the birthday party was Everleigh's only chance to meet her father. Therefore, she needed to attend. "Everleigh?" As soon as she entered, she spotted Selena waving at her. Selena added, "Over here." Everleigh's heart skipped a beat when she spotted the familiar figure behind Selena. She was so nervous that she almost forgot how to walk.

It had been seven years and her father aged a lot. His back was no longer straight, but hunched, and his hair was greying. She could see the changes even from a distance away. As soon as her father, Abraham, spotted her, his smile vanished.

"Dad." Everleigh walked over to him but could not bring herself to approach him.

She felt very guilty and she was ashamed of herself.

"Everleigh?" The relative next to Abraham immediately recognized Everleigh. The man continued, "It's Everleigh was staring at her when I she walked in. I could barely recognize her."

"Yeah, I haven't seen her for years. Uncle Abraham said that she went abroad to study. It's been seven years," another relative added. All the relatives were gossiping. However, no one noticed the awkward atmosphere between Abraham and Everleigh.

Selena was standing in the middle of the crowd. She chuckled, "Aunt Vera, you don't know? My sister is now a chief surgeon, She's an influential doctor and is working in one of the famous hospitals. You'll be able to find her if you ask around." Everleigh stared at Selena in shock. She did not expect Selena to speak up for her. Pigs could fly!
