CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 82: BORN BEAUTIFUL

The days flew by, and before long, it was the day of Old Master Jacobs’ birthday banquet.

Just in time, Nina Quinn was meticulously groomed by the styling team specially hired by the Quinn Family, looking like a stunning bride, and sent to the Hawes Presidential Hotel.

At this point, Nathan Jacobs was already at the hotel entrance, awaiting.

The Quinn Family, as usual, started showering praise.

"Master Jacobs, you must have put a lot of thought into holding the birthday banquet at the Hawes Presidential Hotel."

The Hawes Presidential Hotel is almost on par with The Continental Hotel in terms of class.

The difference is, The Continental Hotel is famously hard to book, reserved only for top-tier tycoons or VIP officials.

In contrast, the Hawes Presidential Hotel is renowned worldwide for its exorbitant prices, commonly known as expensive fame.

However, as long as you have money, you can book the Hawes Presidential Hotel.

Needless to say, Nathan Jacobs spent quite a sum to set the feast at the Hawes Presidential Hotel.

But thanks to this, Nathan was able to regain the face he lost at The Continental Hotel.

Indeed, Nathan looked at Charles Quinn’s eager expression and straightened his immaculate suit.

"Not much of anything. It’s my grandpa’s birthday, so naturally, it should be in a more upscale place."

Speaking indifferently, yet his expression was endlessly proud, as usual.

Soon, the feast began.

There were many guests, and Nina followed Nathan in greeting them.

Charles Quinn and Amanda Ford also followed closely, as if they had become half members of the Jacobs Family.

At this moment, July Quinn arrived.

She wore a halter black dress devoid of luxury brand logos, her hair casually pinned up, revealing a swan-like neck.

She didn’t put on makeup, only applied lipstick.

Indeed, July’s entire ensemble appeared quite casual.

Yet, magically, beneath this casualness, she was stunningly beautiful, instantly replacing the carefully dressed Nina as the center of attention.

"She’s so gorgeous. That’s July Quinn, the true beauty standard of Westmarch."

"No wonder the forums in Westmarch say that every time July Quinn appears, everyone else becomes the backdrop. Seeing her today, it’s indeed true."

"I wonder what Master Jacobs was thinking by choosing Nina Quinn, who looks like an internet celebrity overloaded with botox, over such a stunning beauty."

"I guess Master Jacobs did it for money. Isn’t it rumored that Old Master Quinn gave most of the Quinn Group’s shares to Nina?"

Amid the whispered discussions, Nina and Nathan’s expressions grew quite uneasy.

True, every time July appears, Nina’s beauty is questioned, and Nathan’s choice is put under scrutiny.

For a moment, even Nina questioned herself why she went to great lengths to invite July.

Thankfully, Amanda quickly pulled July aside the moment she stole Nina’s spotlight, chiding softly.

"Today is your sister’s good day; why dress like this? What are your intentions?"

"Are your eyes broken? I just put on lipstick, and I outshine her. What can I do? It’s innate beauty. Didn’t you give birth to me?"

July’s retort left Amanda speechless.

If she had given birth to her, she wouldn’t be so upset.

At that moment, Old Master Jacobs arrived.

"Enough, stop standing here idly. Everyone go inside; the banquet is about to start."

A voice urged, prompting everyone gathered at the lobby door to head inside, beginning the gift-giving segment.

Old Master Jacobs has been in business for many years and has excellent connections; guests bringing gifts were endless.

Even Nina joined a group of people presenting gifts.

"Grandpa Jacobs, this is the birthday gift I’ve prepared for you."

Nina presented a prepared gift box, opening it in front of everyone.

Soon, the premium pure-natural egg yolk yellow amber bracelet inside the box was revealed to everyone.

"The color looks completely unprocessed, so beautiful!"

"This must cost hundreds of thousands."

"Probably more like millions."

Among the enthusiastic discussions, Nina smiled shyly.

"Grandpa Jacobs has always treated me like a granddaughter. Soon, I will be part of the Jacobs Family. Preparing a gift to show respect is only fitting."

So far, Nina’s words earned much praise from those around, also making Charles Quinn and Amanda Ford feel quite proud.

Yet at this moment, Nina suddenly glanced at July: "July, what birthday gift did you prepare for Grandpa Jacobs?"
