The crowd swarmed into the exhibition hall of Jadforest Garden, where the many works of Master Geoffrey were displayed in his honor.

A long-haired girl wearing plain clothes casually walked through the crowd in a way that didn't attract much attention.

The cool breeze from the central air conditioner blew on the long strands of hair on the girl's forehead, revealing her charming face.

Several of the guests mistook Maria for a waitress at first, but soon realize that they made a mistake.

After all, even the waiting staff at Jadforest Garden were dressed up for the occasion. Not a soul present was wearing clothes as plain as Maria was.

However, Maria could care less about what the other guests thought about her identity. She walked silently to the entrance of the Lounge, which was guarded by security guards.

At the end of the passageway in the exhibition hall was the VIP Lounge of Jadforest Garden. At this moment, Master Geoffrey was inside.

But of course, the security team of the Jade Carving Association was selective with whom they Let into the Lounge. Only the most influential people and the closest friends of Master Geoffrey were allowed to enter.

But when Maria walked up to the entrance, the security guards silently made way for her.

Watching this, the other guests had to swallow their envy and didn't dare to comment on Maria's appearance.

After Maria walked into the Lounge, the entrance was once again blocked by the security guards.

There were not many people in the Lounge.

Other than Vincent, there was Anthony, and several powerful figures in the jade carving industry in Broome, including Master Darian Patterson, the chairman of the Jade Carving Association.

Darian Looked curiously at Maria, who was standing behind Anthony's wheelchair. He had never seen her before.

But Darian was quite familiar with Anthony, the former heir of the Wilson family.

Not long ago, he had heard that Anthony's legs were injured because of his own mistakes, causing him to lose his position as heir

And yet, Anthony was able to attend Master Geoffrey's birthday party, and enter his VIP Lounge, no less. Had Anthony been invited by Vincent, or had he come here by himself?

Whatever the case was, Darian knew that it was none of his business. He

Was no stranger to the internal strife of big wealthy families, and knew what he should do.

Since Vincent was clearly willing to receive Anthony in the VIP Lounge, Darian would of course cooperate.
