His Lordship Alexander Kane

Three days later, Olivia’s birthday celebration was held at the Grand Dynasty Hotel, Ol‘ Mare’s only six—star luxury hotel. The news buzzed throughout the city.

Agold plaque stood at the hotel entrance, displaying the invitation message for the event.

[No matter your status, gender, or age, as long as you’re dressed festively and join the celebration inside the hotel for the birthday girl, you

can enjoy the exclusive VIP package provided by the Grand Dynasty Hotel for free.] [After the banquet, each guest will receive a unique keepsake, a birthday badge crafted from pure gold.]

[This birthday celebration is officially certified by the Ol‘ Mare Notary Office, and we offer a no—questions—asked exchange if it’s a fake.]

[We welcome you to celebrate Olivia Kane’s birthday!]

This message spread like wildfire throughout Ol Mare. Any brightly colored festive attire was snatched up within no time in clothing

stores everywhere, even the wedding attire boutiques!

Soon, people dressed in colorful attires rushed to the Grand Dynasty Hotel.

The free packages and gold commemorative badges had the entire Ol‘ Mare populace thrilled to the point of near frenzy. In a suburban villa in Ol Mare...

Zoe lay bare—skinned on Herbert’s chest and flirtatiously spoke, “It’s that little girl’s birthday today, Herbert. Shouldn’t we be setting off?”

Herbert ran his fingers along Zoe’s back with a sneer. Zoe used to withhold sex from him, but three days ago, she willingly initiated intimacy with him, eagerly catering to his desires. Of course, Herbert knew the reason.

“That old fart Donovan actually kicked you out of the Chesire family. How foolish of him,” Herbert commented, getting dressed and

wearing a satisfied smirk.

“You're my woman, and I'll surely defend you. Moreover, Alexander, that worthless scum, dared to make me kneel with you before that little

girl? He has a death wish for sure!” As he spoke, Herbert strode toward the windows and yanked the curtains open dramatically. Whoosh!

The front yard of the villa was brimming with tension as over 120 Dorvall family bodyguards stood in an orderly formation, all dressed in black suits with bulging pouches around their waists, indicating they were fully equipped.

Parked nearby were over 30 Audi A6 sedans, each ready to depart.

“You're amazing, Herbert!” Zoe was dressed and ready, looking at the bodyguard team in the yard as she kissed Herbert's face. She chuckled coquettishly, though her gaze harbored a malicious glint.

“This time, you must make Alexander pay dearly,” Zoe continued. “Make him beg on his knees, make his life a living hell, and make sure he

can’t escape!”

Herbert erupted into a maniacal laughter. With so many bodyguards, many of them seasoned fighters, dealing with Alexander was akin to

taking candy from a baby.

Herbert and Zoe left the bedroom and proceeded to the living room. Then, he waved at their bodyguard team ahead, ordering, “Listen up,

men. Get in the cars! We're heading to the Grand Dynasty Hotel. Let's roll!”

The Dorvall family bodyguards followed Herbert and Zoe’s lead, boarding a motorcade of Maybachs and Audi A6 sedans and charging toward the Grand Dynasty Hotel.

At this very moment, the traffic was chaotic at the Grand Dynasty Hotel, with an overwhelming number of people flooding the scene. It was only 11:30 a.m., just half an hour before the birthday banquet was set to begin, but the entrance to the hotel was completely blocked.

Hundreds of Ol' Mare citizens had arrived in response to the news!

Only the front of the hotel’s main entrance was relatively clear, thanks to the efforts of over a hundred hotel staff and uniformed traffic control personnel, who were sweating profusely while trying to maintain order.

The atmosphere was unprecedented, the excitement was off the charts, and the scene was unparalleled!

Meanwhile, on the hotel’s first floor, the main hall designated as the birthday banquet. Patrick and Susanne watched the calm Alexander and could not help but feel an overwhelming mix of emotions. “Oh, Alex...”

Alexander had already shown his love for their daughter by gifting her the extravagant car. They were also aware that he was planning a birthday celebration for their granddaughter. However, the magnitude of the event was beyond their expectations. It was as if they were witnessing the unexpected, completely unbelievable!

The gathering was massive, and their cheers were deafening.

“Happy birthday, Miss Kane!”

“Wishing you a great birthday, Miss Kane!”

“Miss Kane, may you be blessed with good health! May all your wishes come true!”

These people had not even caught a glimpse of Olivia yet.

“Mom, Dad...” Amber stood by her parents, stealing a glance at Alexander's handsome profile.

Amber thought to herself how mysterious Alexander was. After all, she did not even know how he managed to reserve the entire Grand Dynasty Hotel, how much he had paid for the exclusive VIP packages, and how many gold birthday badges he crafted.
