At six o'clock in the evening, Fade changed into a nicer set of clothes and arrived at the Star View Hotel, which was a 4-star hotel.
Stepping inside, he looked around at the guests who were already there. Most of them were adolescents, who were probably close friends with Yenora. Amongst them were one or two businessmen dressed in suits.
"Yenora's family must be pretty rich, but why aren't there many relatives here?" Seeing all this, he couldn't help but mutter this to himself.
At this time, Yenora spotted him with just one glance and trotted over. "Brother Chen, you came!"
"I gave you my word. Of course I'll be here," he responded with a smile.
That night, Yenora had dressed up more than usual. She had changed into a more mature evening gown that no longer showed off her innocence. Instead, it gave her more of a sexy vibe.
Seeing how amazed he looked, her classmates beside her started giggling.
"Yenora, it looks like your Brother Chen is dazed by your beauty."
"Mr. Chen, you'd better not stare until your eyes pop out!"
Hearing this, Yenora's face suddenly turned red, and she looked shy.
Fade smiled and said, "You look beautiful today."
Almost immediately, the little girl's face turned even redder.
At this time, an over-the-top voice rang out, "Where's Yenora? I'm here already, but she's not going to come to welcome me?"
"Miss, please hold on, Miss Yenora is inside talking to her guests. How about I..."
"Guests? What guests? Are they more important than her own sister?" The voice sounded more dissatisfied than before.
Slowly, the voice started getting closer.
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry. I'll have to go over there for a bit!" Yenora apologized to Fade before walking to the entrance in quick steps.
He looked over and frowned. "Her again?"
That was because the person who walked in was none other than the first lady of the Zhou family, Ashley. Beside her, there was a man who looked to be in his twenties. However, this guy wasn't Jayvon.
"Mr. Chen, do you know Miss Ashley?" Yen ora's classmate next to him asked.
"I've met her twice before," he replied. "Why didn’t I know that Yenora is part of the Zhou family?"
The classmate whispered, "Because Yenora is an illegitimate daughter. The Zhou family doesn't really treat her..."
Hearing this, he immediately understood what was going on.
Yenora was an illegitimate daughter, thus, the Zhou family would definitely not publicize it. It was also because of this that there were so few guests at the 18th birthday party of a lady of the Zhou family.
None of the relatives from the Zhou family showed up. All they did was send Ashley to come on their behalf.
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Ashley and her partner walked in with Yenora accompanying them.
Being the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, as soon as Ashley walked in, many guests started to flock around her. Several of them even greeted her and offered her drinks.
Ashley flashed a smile on her face as her eyes swept across the room. As she looked around, she spotted Fade, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. "What is he doing here?"
"Oh..." Yenora was flustered and she said, "Ashley, this is Brother Chen. He's a friend of mine."
"Friend? So the guest you were talking to earlier was Fade?" Ashley screamed at her in disbelief.
Yenora was also shocked to see her reaction.
A 25- year- old young man walked in while chuckling.
Instantly, Ashley and Yenora's expressions turned dark.
Many other guests in the room had perplexed looks on their faces.
Seeing this, Fade couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Who's that?"
One of Yenora's classmates explained in a low voice, "That's Wendell Yao, the second son of the Yao family. The Yao family have been fighting head on with the Zhou family for a while now. I'm pretty sure Wendell's presence here isn't good news."
Hearing that the other party was from the Yao family. Fade immediately recalled that Therius had asked for his help two days ago.
"Wendell, what are you doing here?" Ashley glared at him and asked coldly.
Wendell smiled and said, "Ashley, what are you talking about? Today is Miss Yenora's eighteen birthday. Of course, I had to come and give you a present!"
While speaking, he clapped his hands. Immediately, one of his servants walked over with a gift in hand.
"Our family doesn't need anything from you," Ashley muttered.
Yenora gritted her teeth and whispered, "Mr. Wendell, please leave!"
"Hey, this gift is from the bottom of my heart. Is this how the Zhou family shows their gratitude?" Wendell sighed heavily, then waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. Since they don't welcome us, then let's leave."
Hearing this, Yenora was relieved.
However, Wendell, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "We'll go, but we'll leave the gift for Miss Yenora!"
"I don't want it..." She waved her hand in a hurry.
