Chapter 60

The party has started.

Guests from wealthy families have started to arrive, clustered, and formed their respective groups. Talkto show off what they have.

“Sis Livia, sit down. Why are you so busy?” David grabbed his sister’s arm.

People go back and forth enjoying the food. They were enjoying an appetizer and snack. The threemaids and two male servants would not be enough to handle this. So Livia is already wearing an apronand helping prepare food for the main meal itself. “There you go, accompany dad.” Livia pushed David’sbody. After all, he was the boy who would become the heir of this family. Especially in this house, themale lineage is highly glorified. Livia, the only child of a deceased mother, is definitely only looked at withone eye. Because the guests who came were not her mother’s relatives, this family has long been cut offfrom her mother’s family.

Only Livia still frequently visits her mother’s hometown.

“Miss, why are you in the kitchen?” The housekeeper’s aunt, who appeared from inside, had alreadytaken the knife in Livia’s hand.

“Don’t mind me. Which fruit to cut? Let me do it.” Livia cuts the fruit into small pieces and puts them in acontainer.

“You were hiding in the kitchen, huh?” Then, finally, Lisa appeared with her friends.

Livia snorted. She has met her sisters-in-law, who are even much wordier.

Livia was ignoring her stepsister and cousins behind her.

“Go away, don’t bother me!” Livia brandished the knife she had used to cut the fruit in her hand.

The flesh of the dragon fruit made the knife covered in red. Lisa and her two cousins looked at the knifein horror.

“What’s wrong with you. They just want to greet you, Mrs. Alexander Group. Haha.” The others laughedtoo.

Livia took a deep breath. Annoyed at the same time, can not do anything.

Damian’s absence today did indeed show her status. She was nothing more like a neglected wife.

So if Lisa mentions that, she indeed has no rebuttal to break it. After talking a lot the three people finallyleft.

“Huh! You are so different from my sister-in-law, who will continue to chatter even though I ignored them.Your mentality is still fragile.’ Livia laughed and amused herself.

Dad’s birthday party begins. First, he stepped forward and gave the opening remarks, proud of hissuccess and that of the company. Then, he took his beloved son’s hand–the family’s successor with aproud smile. He also mentioned Livia’s name.

Everyone was silent, looking for the figure mentioned by Bob Shelby, their faces full of question marks. Incontrast, the stepmother’s face looked displeased, especially when her husband didn’t mention Lisa’sname to boast about her success in penetrating the entertainment world.

Livia, who was tidying the table, fell silent, looked at the faces of the people, then her eyes met with herfather.

“Come here!” Bob stretched out his hand.

Livia was surprised, and she just kept silent and looked at everyone. Felt in disbelief if it was really herfather’s call.

“Because Livia, we were able to go through a lot of difficult things. Thank you for everything, Livia.”

“Why can dad be weird like this? According to David, dad has changed a little, but it’s already 180degrees instead of a little. He even showed it in front of others, in front of a big family and mother. Ithought he would only do it if it was just the two of us. Dad, do I have to start opening my heart andforgive you?’

Everyone clapped and congratulated. Livia drew closer to her father’s side, and the man rubbed herhead gently.

“Thank you for everything.”

“Dad ….” Livia answered quietly. She still couldn’t understand why her father’s attitude had changed likethis. Is there something wrong with him? Is it true that the man in front of her has really changed? Doeshe feel sorry? She doesn’t know, but for sure, he showed his love for Livia. “Huh! Does patience reallypay off in the end?’ Livia looked at the people around her. The one who didn’t like the way Bob treatedLivia the most was, of course, her stepmother. She had a sour face throughout the event.

Dinner went well. All the adults took turns taking their food and then gathered around the dining table,chatting and discussing trivial matters. While the kids sat on the carpet watching tv, enjoying their meal.

The servants were busy with their work, going in and out, preparing what was lacking. Livia is still pacingto help. She helped take care of a bunch of kids. They noisily ask for this and that. Finally, some werecrying, and their mothers stopped eating and broke up the fights between the children.

“Sis Livia, let’s sit at the dining table.” David was about to pull Livia’s arm.

“It’s okay. I have to take care of these kids.” She pointed to the children sitting beside her. She rubbedthe head of the child who was laughing happily beside her.

“No, you have to eat too.” David’s conversation stopped when there was a commotion from outside.

Everyone turned their heads.

A male servant rushed in. Pay respects for a moment and talk to Bob, who was talking to other familymembers.

“Excuse me, sir, Young master Alexander–he….” He wasn’t just sweating from running but rather fromthe shock.

“Why?” Livia’s father got up from his seat and approached. “What’s the matter with Damian.” There wasalready panic in his voice.

“Master Damian is coming.”

“What?!” It was like a flash of lightning had struck. The rest of the family had looked down on her andsaid sarcastically to Livia. Now everything seemed to be turning around.

The stepmother’s face also looks very pale.

The commotion is inevitable. Everyone talks about making their own hypotheses.

“Sister, Damian is coming.” David grabbed his sister’s arm. “Hey, how can that be?” Not yet finishing hersentence, father and master Damian appeared side by side, and Assistant Brown followed closelybehind with a flat and unmoving gaze.

“Thank you for taking your time, Sir.” Livia’s father spoke quietly beside Damian. “On behalf of the family,I am very grateful.”

Damian didn’t listen, and he looked around, looking for Livia. He caught the figure of the girl in the crowdof children.

‘What was she wearing? Apron? Insolent! Did you guys make my wife a servant here?’
