Now that Vincent was getting old without any successor, the Geoffrey Jade Carving School might soon disappear when he pass away.

Although this was a pitiful fact, this only made the celebration of his eightieth birthday incomparably important.

“The birthday party for the master is being hosted by the Jade Carving Association, and it's going to be held at Jadforest Garden in Broome?"

Patricia took one of the invitation and quickly read its content. She was deeply shocked and pleased.

Jadforest Garden is a very special restaurant. It was established over a hundred of years ago and was refined in many brilliant ways.

Therefore, it was no longer a place where ordinary people could hold a banquet just by paying. Its name had been carrying an unimaginable cultural background.

Currently, it could only be used for holding important events in the literary and art circles, and it became the pilgrim Land in the hearts of countless people in these two circles.

Hence, just being able to attend a banquet in Jadforest Garden could actually bring someone to a new level. It was something that he could brag to the future generations.

Patricia trembled slightly as she held the invitation, as if she was holding a heavy bar of gold.

On the other hand, Julie Looked a little hesitant. She eventually shook her head and said, "I... I'd better not go."

The thought of going back to Broome made her anxious.

What if she saw her family? What was she going to do?

But if she didn't go, she would lose this once in a lifetime chance, for she might never go back to Broome and see her family again.

However, if she did go there and then meet her family, what was she supposed to say to them?

She could still vividly remember the pain and scars brought to her by the past like it was only yesterday.

Hearing this, Boden couldn't help but frown slightly. In fact, he had already expected that something like this would happen. It wouldn't be easy to convince Julie to come back.

But it didn't matter. It was just the first attempt. Boden thought that there would be more chances in the future, and there was no need to be hasty.

Boden secured four invitation cards, hoping that he could take all three members of the Jenkins family with him. However, now that Julie declined to go, there was one extra.

It would be such a waste if this invitation would not be used in the end.

Also realizing the situation, Patricia's heart beat faster. She stared at the extra invitation in Boden's hand. She wanted it so much, but she knew that she couldn't ask for it herself.
