The champagne tower looks like a giant gemstones as it sparkles in faint pink crystal gla.s.ses, extravagant and sumptous food items prepared by the country"s best sous-chefs, gorgeous flower varieties and crystals hanging from the ceiling, etc...

"this banquet surely outshined other rich families banquet this year..." one guest commented.

"indeed, i initially thought the Zhi"s just wanted to top the news headlines but it seems they didn"t invite press people."

"Klaus really doted on his daughter, this feels like a royal event than a birthday banquet for an 18yrs old."

"im actually surprised that the Zhi family is these capable to splurge such amount of money considering they just belong to the third hierarchy of the upper echelons..."

"don"t you all know the news?" a madam from another family b.u.t.ted in.

"what news"?

The woman continued looking proud and inquisitive. "its seemingly possible that the Zhi clan will climb up the hierarchy ladder this year, their company is financially skyrocketing that even CEO Shin Keir saw the potential and became a shareholder."

The guests who heard the news were dumbfounded while others all have complex expressions on their faces, the elite circle is a constant compet.i.tion and influence is a crucial a.s.set.

"i also heard of that news but i thought it was just a gossip..."

"well I can affirm it isn"t just a hearsay, as most of you know, my husband is one of the shareholders of Zhi corporations and he said CEO Shin Keir himself attended the recent company meeting." the woman boasted.

"tsk, no wonder there"s a lot of young women tonight...their motives is just as clear as the day!" another guest whispered to his companion.

"then isn"t CEO Zhi cunning himself? this whole banquet could be also a facade to please the King! he might be even using his daughter as a p.a.w.n to smoothly reach the top!"

Moving forward, the banquet hall is now bright and lively with full of elites looking regal and dazzling, yet, contrary to what other guests thought, Klaus Zhi is also dubious of the whole setting, his no amateur not to realize the marginal difference between the money he spent and the value of tonight"s banquet.

"Klaus im so happy! Vertice hotel really did a great job! this outcome is beyond what i expected, im so glad i let them handle most of the preparations! my friends were also impressed." Zenia Zhi enthusiastically said.

"hmmm...why don"t you ask princess to come down now?" Klaus indifferently replied.

"she should be here soon, i already asked Jj to escort her." Zenia answered oblivious of her husband"s darkened expression. "this is definitely the perfect setting befitting our princess!"

Back at Yeri"s hotel room...

*knock knock

Jj lazily strode inside the room, looking naturally picturesque, he saw Yeri in front of the vanity mirror with two women stylist doing her hair and make-up.

"how"s it going princess?" Jj flashes his dazzling grin and winked at the two women, making them blushed.

Yeri just rolled her eyes and glance at her phone again, oddly, the crazy steak didn"t bothered her today, no messages or missed calls at all, did he finally snapped out of his screwball and went back to his renowned misogynist self?

Still, it won"t kill him just to send her a simple birthday greeting..."hmph! whatever, it works well for me!" Yeri sneered internally.

"whoa! what"s this?! are you aiming to be the G.o.ddess of life and death?" Jj exclaimed looking thrilled.

"G.o.ddess of what?!"

"you don"t know the G.o.ddess of life and death? its like this, i bet 99% of men at the banquet hall later would feel hopeful with your presence, they would try to take that chance but once you rejected them, they will soon realize you"re actually a murderer! hahaha!!!" Jj burst out laughing.

"haha very funny, you actually included old and married men, yuck!" Yeri glared at Jj incredulously. "and what"s up with the remaining 1%?"

"your father! hahahah! i can"t wait to see Uncle Klaus bitter face later! hahaha!" Jj again laugh heartily that the other two women can"t helped but giggle.

"says someone who looks like a gigolo!" Yeri smirked.

"i don"t think so, weren"t you the one who asked me to match your gown? i think i actually nailed it!" Jj sized up his wine red tuxedo and firmly nodded.

Jj"s joke to Yeri isn"t too far-fetched, she look serenely ravishing yet also fiery and s.e.xy, instead of the traditional updo hairstyle, she did a slicked-back wet look hairstyle, a smoky eye and nude makeup that highlights her dewy and poreless face.

--------------------------------------

At the same time, a rolls royce phantom car stopped in front of Vertice hotel, Shin and Tristan exited the car, looking both breathtakingly handsome and n.o.ble.

Once inside, all eyes were on them especially women, their eyes were gleaming with l.u.s.t and euphoria, yet in spite of Tristan"s friendly nature, no one dared to approach them with Shin looking like his about to go on a killing spree.

"can"t you act friendly even just this time? remember it"s Sheri"s banquet." Tristan muttered to Shin trying to hide his amus.e.m.e.nt.

Before, it would take a plenty of persuasion, debates and coercion just to drag his ill-tempered cousin to attend a banquet and eventhough tonight is an exception, its still amusing to see Shin"s usual "party-face".

"no, its a waste of energy." Shin spoke looking apathetic.
