Chapter 16
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.
Richard asked, "Which Howard?"
Many people also had the same question, because Richard didn't seem to be acquainted with anyone
with the surname Howard.
"It's the Howard Family in H City, the richest one!" The messenger said with a red face, so excited that
his whole body was trembling.
"What?!"
Richard was shocked. In his panic, he spilled all the dishes in front of him and smashed them on his
feet, causing him a pain. But he couldn't care less about the pain. He opened his eyes wide and said,
"Jason! Are you sure? Are they really from the Howard Family in H City?!"
Jason swallowed heavily and nodded hard. He was more serious than ever. "Grandpa, I'm absolutely
sure!"
Hiss...
Richard gasped, and the others seemed to be in a daze. They couldn't believe it for quite a while until
they finally realized it was true.
Some even thought they were hallucinating, so they pinched their thighs, or slapped themselves. "God,
it hurts. It's real!"
Richard said in a hurry, "Why are you still standing there? Invite them in, hurry!"
They didn't understand why the prominent Howard Family would come to congratulate Richard. This
was like the aristocracy in ancient times who took the initiative to give gifts to civilians to please them.
"Did I hear it right? The Howard Family with tens of billions would send someone to celebrate
grandpa's birthday? When did grandpa become such a big shot?"
"Money, money! It's the Howard Family we are talking about here. If we can make acquaintance with
them, it surely won't be long before we all get rich, hahaha..."
"When they get in, all of you should cheer up. You must try to please the Howard Family. This is a big
chance for Scott Family!"
All the Scott Family members were extremely excited.
Just as everyone was curious about how the Howard Family would care to come to celebrate Richard's
birthday, Elizabeth suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted, "I understand. It must be for Brian's sake!"
Her words made everyone turn to Brian.
Brian was obviously stunned.
He had not been familiar with the Howard Family. At best, he had only spoken to Dylan yesterday. Was
it really because of him? Besides, it was Samuel paying them a visit in person, the owner of the
Howard Family.
Phoebe also opened her eyes wide and looked at Brian incredibly. Could Brian really pull that off?
Richard believed it and said excitedly, "Brian, did you invite Patriarch of the Howard Family to celebrate
grandpa's birthday? You're really grandpa's good son-in-law, hahaha!"
Brian was more than satisfied by this compliment, which made him also believe that they had specially
come to celebrate Richard's birthday at his invitation. He coughed twice and said, "Grandpa, I am well
acquainted with Dylan. Grandpa, on your 70th birthday, I took the initiative to invite Dylan to celebrate
grandpa's birthday. I didn't expect him to bring along Samuel. Grandpa, you wouldn't be angry about
that, right?"
Richard was brightened and said "Good" three times in a row. He was extremely satisfied with Brian.
He immediately said to Phoebe," Phoebe, Brian is a good man. He's a hundred times better than your
useless ex-husband! After you marry Brian, you must fulfill your duty as his wife, understand?"
Immediately, the other unmarried women in the Scott Family were getting envious, jealous, and hateful.
They all wished they would be the one to marry Brian.
Phoebe bit her lips gently and did not say anything. For some reason, she thought of Tom, what Tom
said to her today, that Dylan had let Logan go because of him and not because of Brian.
Ten minutes ago.
Samuel sat in the Rolls-Royce Phantom on the way to Richard's.
"Dad, are we really going to celebrate Richard's birthday? I've done some researches. Richard is just a
small businessman, and the Scott Family is just a small family. Recently, their company has
encountered a serious economic crisis and is about to go bankrupt. As the owner of Howard Family,
celebrating Richard's birthday is really beneath you. If this gets out, it will definitely not look good on
us."
Samuel's son, Michael, frowned.
"Alas, the Scott Family is facing an economic crisis, so are we. Your grandfather was one hell of an old
dog. Before he died, he transferred more than 50 billion dollars to Tom. Without that money, the Scott
Family would fail to operate. If we don't get the money back, we will suffer a great loss." Samuel sighed
and said, "When you see Tom, you have to be nice and apologize to him. Even if he wants to hit you
and scold you, you have to bear with it, understand?"
"I really hate to do so..."
Samuel and the others arrived at the three-star hotel. Instead of going up directly, they sent someone
to inform the Scott Family first. Of course, they didn't care about Richard, but to inform Tom that they
had come with sincerity.
Samuel tidied up his mood, smiled brightly, and strode towards the banquet hall.
"Samuel, from the Howard Family in H City, come to wish you a happy birthday. He has brought two
ginseng of a hundred years old, a pair of precious calligraphy, a blue and white porcelain vase of the
Song Dynasty, and cash of 9.99 million dollars. He wishes Richard a long and happy life!"
When the Howard Family heard the announcement, their eyes widened and they held their breath!
For starters, the gift of cash of $ 9.99 million was enough to stop a person's heart!
Not to mention all the other expensive gifts.
They had really spent handsomely on these gifts, quite handsomely!
When Richard saw these gifts, his old face turned red with excitement, and the smile on his face could
not be concealed.
Who would dare to say that his 70th birthday this year would be dismal? With Samuel celebrating his
birthday, he wouldn'd have to ask for anything else. If this spread out, who would dare to look down on
him in H City?!
A merry heart made a cheerful countenance, and Richard felt at least twenty years younger now.
Brian, on the other hand, was so excited and quite complacent. If it wasn't for tonight, he didn't know he
was such an important person!
When he and Phoebe got married, wouldn't they receive gifts worth twice as much as these?
James and Elizabeth were more than happy with a big smile on their faces. They chased Tom away
and thought they finally got lucky. Hahaha.
At this moment, Samuel walked in quickly. He saw Richard at first glance and said bluntly, "Mr. Scott,
today is your seventieth birthday. I'm sorry for drop in unexpected. I hope Mr. Scott can excuse me for
the intruding."
Richard had only seen Samuel in fortune magazine. Before tonight, he would never dream of the
possibility of meeting Samuel. He didn't believe that he would ever know Samuel in person. He was so
excited that he couldn't say a complete word.
"Patriarch of the Howard Family! It's an honor to finally meet you!" Richard held Samuel's hand in
excitement.
Brian also took the opportunity to quickly walk up to Dylan and said, "Mr. Howard, I didn't expect you to
accept my invitation and come to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. Thank you so much!"
He purposely said so loudly that everyone could hear him. He raised his head and chest, looking like a
rooster who had just won a battle, really showing off.
Dylan frowned, sensed something was wrong, and said, "What are you talking about? Who said I came
here because of you?"
The smile on Brian's face froze and he was a little awkward.
At this moment, Samuel showed an unhappy expression and glared at Dylan because he did not see
Tom.
Dylan shuddered by the glare and asked Brian directly, "Is someone short here?"
