Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 224

Stevie didn’t really want to throw a party on his 50th birthday. After all, most big birthday parties were usually thrown to celebrate ages of sixty and above.

But Becky felt guilty that she hadn’t been around to celebrate his last three birthdays with him. So, she persuaded Stevie to host a grand birthday party this time.

For Stevie, this was also a good opportunity to let everyone know that Becky was his daughter. Going forward, no one would dare to look down upon his lovely daughter anymore.

Although the two of them had different reasons why they wanted the party, they both agreed that it must be thrown. And Stevie went ahead to plan the hosting of a very elaborate event in celebration of his 50th birthday.

Stevie had been in the business world for many years. As a result, he knew a lot of people. So, his birthday party was expected to be well attended.

To make sure the celebration would be nothing short of a huge success, Becky came back to Bluepond two days in advance to supervise everything about the event.

The Ramos family was rich, but they always kept a low profile. In fact, this was the first time they would be hosting such a grand party.

A lot of people had always wanted to meet Stevie and establish a good relationship with him. This party presented them with the perfect opportunity.

But the catch was that it was strictly by invitation. The Ramos family would carefully select the people they deemed worthy of attending their elaborate event.

In total, there were one thousand invitation cards to be given out. Becky had already asked Talia to send several of the cards to close friends of the family. As for the rest, it was up to her to consider

carefully and decide who would receive them.

It was an easy task for Talia, though. She had been close to the family for a long time. Before she became Becky’s secretary, she had previously served as Stevie’s secretary for years.

It was a well-known fact that the Ramos family had come into wealth quite late. Before Stevie got married to Vivien, he was not rich. Stevie had to build up his business empire from nothing.

The Palmer family was different. Vivien’s brothers were both politicians, and her cousins, too, were not ordinary people.

Compared with the Ramos family, the Palmers were much more powerful and influential.

Since both families were connected by marriage, the Palmer family would be represented at Stevie’s 50th birthday party.

This was the reason why virtually everyone wanted to get invited to the party.

A family like the Casper family, for instance, given their position in society, would expect to be one of those invited. But before sending an invitation card to them, Talia went to Becky to seek for approval.

Deep down in Becky’s heart, she wished that the Casper family would not be invited, but she didn’t want to do anything that would cause disaffection and compromise the Ramos family’s reputation in any way. So, she approved the invitation. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Stevie had done business with Elmore several times. If they chose not to send an invitation card to the Casper family, the matter would quickly become a topic of discussion among them.

The same applied to the Stanley family, which had an even deeper relationship with Stevie.

But so much had happened in the last few days that it was hard to say whether or not Devin would attend the party.

Likewise, after everything that had happened with the Casper family, Becky felt Elmore would not send anyone to the party.

So when Talia told her that Rory had come, Becky was quite surprised.

But she didn’t show it. Instead, she acted as if she had expected it all along.

As far as she was concerned, he was no different from a stranger now.

To her surprise, she saw Devin come in not long after Rory arrived.

As Stevie’s daughter, Becky had a duty to welcome every guest with a smile. That was the courteous thing to do.

She could also avoid Rory and Stevie by slipping away, but she knew that if her father saw the men, his mood would turn sour.

To keep them from him, Becky decided to meet them herself. So, grabbing a glass of champagne, she went over to welcome them.

Since it was such a grand and important event, Becky had donned a very beautiful dress and applied a touch of make-up for the occasion. As a result, she was quite a center of attention.

“Gentlemen, we’re glad to have you here.”
