Listening to the crowd’s gossip, Faye Sterling and Rosalie Ray exchanged mocking glances, clearly agreeing with their words.
No matter how hard Eleanor Sterling tried, she could never surpass Faye Sterling. She even dared to consider starting a jewelry company like Faye. They paid no heed to Eleanor at all.
Eleanor was simply overestimating herself.
How could she compare to Faye Sterling? She’s not even qualified to hold a candle to her!
The banquet reached its peak atmosphere, with Old Master Sterling surrounded by a large crowd eagerly presenting their birthday gifts.
"Old Master Sterling, this is an exquisite jade Buddha crafted from the finest jade, valued at a million dollars. Do you like it?"
"Old Master, look at this—it’s an authentic calligraphy by a famous master, a rare find, specially presented to you."
"Check out mine; it’s a golden Buddha sculpture that I acquired at auction for over a billion dollars. Do you like it?"
Seeing everyone presenting gifts, Rosalie Ray exchanged a glance with Faye Sterling.
For this birthday banquet, Faye had someone acquire an extraordinarily expensive gift. This grand gesture was sure to make her the star of the event. Original content can be found at noᴠelfire.net
Faye made a hand gesture, and immediately someone stepped forward with an exquisite box. She then appropriately spoke up, "Grandfather, this is a top-quality Medicine King Vine Bracelet. I hope you like it."
Faye’s words caused quite a stir among the crowd, which fell silent and turned their gaze to the box held by the servant.
Inside the box lay a bracelet made of vine, its color slightly dark. Under the lights, it emitted a mysterious glow, even more captivating than jade bracelets.
The entire venue was aghast—could it truly be a top-tier Medicine King Vine Bracelet?
"Oh my goodness, I’ve heard this bracelet is made from the Medicine King Vine, which is said to prolong life and cure all maladies. There’s supposedly only one in the entire world!"
"They say it was auctioned a month ago and bought by a mysterious person for fifty million. Could that person be Faye Sterling?"
"This gift is indeed precious, utterly eclipsing all other birthday gifts presented here."
Leaving aside the legendary effects of the Medicine King Vine, the fact that Faye just established her company and could afford fifty million in liquid assets is enough to demonstrate her dedication.
Facing numerous shocked and admiring gazes.
Faye Sterling couldn’t help but feel incredibly proud. With most of the Sterling Family’s shares still under Old Master’s control, if she pleased him, she was sure to get those shares.
Listening to everyone’s praise, Faye laughed, "It’s nothing. As long as Grandpa is happy, a little expense is worth it."
Her modesty drew further admiration.
Rosalie Ray immediately chimed in from the side, "Dad, Faye’s company is quite profitable now. To secure this bracelet for you, she almost spent everything she had, just hoping you would stay healthy."
Old Master Sterling nodded upon hearing this, his face lighting up with a joyful smile. That Faye would use all her resources just to make him happy brought him a sense of relief.
Suddenly, there was an uproar, "President Faulkner is here! Who’s that following him? She looks somewhat familiar."
Alaric Faulkner arrived in a tailored suit, exuding an aura of cold elegance, his features defined and deep-set, his demeanor extremely composed.
He seemed to carry an aura of brilliance as he walked forward slowly.
Faye Sterling was stunned, staring incredulously at Alaric Faulkner. Why would he attend with a woman?
She hurriedly stepped forward, eager to find out who the woman really was.
