I ignored the guests present. Under their strange gazes, I went to the buffet table and picked out the food I favored to savor.
Just at this moment, today's protagonist appeared.
Aleena took Darian's arm and walked to me with Haghen.
Haghen looked at me with disdain and said, "Are you wearing such outfit to attend my birthday party? Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"
I dressed in ordinary casual clothes. Although not as good as the suits and ties of other guests, I was still quite clean and tidy.
I did not think there was anything wrong with it, but Haghen looked quite unpleasant.
To be honest, even if I dressed up in elegant suit and tie, it would be impossible for Haghen and others to find it pleasing.
I said calmly, "I've been quite poor lately. I can't afford high-end shoes and clothes."
Haghen looked at me with even more contempt. Before he could say more words, Aleena said coldly, "Hansel, I'm letting you attend Haghen's birthday party to give you face, so don't make any disgraceful things."
Looking at the woman who once promised to grow old with me and made a vow of love to me, I could not help feeling a little emotional.
Back then, I was too naive about love and failed to see Aleena's true face earlier.
Whenever I thought of the time when she took out the divorce agreement and threw it in my face without hesitation and when I thought of how I was filled with sorrow and wanted to jump into the river, I felt that I was so stupid.
The sincerity I gave back then should just be considered as feeding the dog!
Darian looked at me with a smile and said, "I haven't heard from you in these years. I thought you couldn't bear the blow you suffered and chose to commit suicide."
"After ten years, we brothers meet again. My parents must be very happy if they are still alive."
I gave him a cold look and said in a calm voice, "I heard that after I was kicked out of the house, the Quinndom Group has been losing money every year under your leadership, almost to the point of selling the Quinn's house."
"I wonder what Mom and Dad would think if they were still alive!"
A cold anger flashed through Darian's eyes, but he held back and said, "What happened back then was a misunderstanding."
"I have figured it out over the years. I am planning to let you rejoin the Quinndom Group and give you the position of vice president!"
Aleena continued. "Darian is magnanimous. He doesn't care about the conflicts between you and him back then. You should stop being so pretentious."
"Judging from the cheap clothes you're wearing. you must have had a hard time these years!"
"Being able to become the vice president of Quinndom Group is absolutely pie in the sky for you."
"Of course, there is still a condition for being the vice president of the Quinndom Group."
I looked at the husband and wife coldly as they performed a duet in front of me and said calmly, "What are the conditions? Tell me!"
Darian cleared his throat and said, "I heard that you have some friendship with Mr. Etheridge from the Ethereal Group? Is that true?"
I nodded and responded casually, "He's an ordinary friend, we've met a few times."
Darian's eyes lit up and he said, "As long as you can get Mr. Etheridge to invest more than sixty-eight million dollars in our company, the position of vice president of the Quinndom Group will be yours."
Hearing this, I almost burst into laughter.
Not to mention the current Quinndom Group, even when the Quinndom Group was at its peak ten years ago, a vice president position was not worth so much money.
Sixty-eight million dollars investment for the position of Vice President of Quinndom Group?
