Lilly touched her braided pigtails and pouted angrily.
Lilly knew Anthony had put much effort into tying her hair up prettily.
Cheryl's insult to her hairstyle was equivalent to insulting her uncle Anthony!
"Your hair's messier!" Lilly angrily refuted.
Cheryl felt satisfied after seeing Lilly getting flustered, but little did she know that Lilly's hair was done by Anthony.
In Cheryl's eyes, Lilly's unkempt hair could only be done by herself instead of an adult.
Cheryl replied, "It's true! Who did your hair? Come on down. I'll help you out!"
Tina smiled and added, "Your hair is messy, Lilly! Why don't you let us redo your hairstyle into a prettier one?"
Thomas chuckled along.
Kids were no big deal; they simply wanted to seize this opportunity to appease the Crawford family.
However, their smiles froze immediately when they heard Anthony say, "I was the one who did Lilly's hair."
Anthony Crawford styling a child's hair…? Impossible!
Tina hurriedly said, "Oh… I'm sorry, we didn't mean that… Cheryl was just used to helping out other kids, so…"
Anthony ignored her as he walked into the venue with Lilly.
Once they arrived at the venue, Anthony asked, "Who invited the Miller family?"
He clearly remembered that the Miller family was excluded from the guest list!
Panicked, the staff responded, "Only those invited can enter… Let me check with them…"
Anthony coldly replied, "Just kick them out."
The staff nodded. "Yes, sir…"
The moment the Miller family walked into the venue, they were halted by the staff members.
"May I see your invitation card?"
Thomas took out the Shaw family's invitation card and explained, "We are here on behalf of Mr. Shaw as instructed by Old Mrs. Shaw."
The Miller family was being haughty even though they secretly picked the invitation up after Old Mrs. Shaw was sent back to her hometown.
The staff was taken aback as the invitation turned out to be valid…
While the staff was distracted, Thomas quickly brought Tina and Cheryl into the venue!
Since they had already arrived, they might as well have joined the event!

Meanwhile, backstage, a staff member was guiding a practitioner and his disciple into the event.
"Master Sullivan, thank you for joining us today! Please follow me!"
Master Sullivan nodded as he looked around the venue. "Impressive. The venue is decorated beautifully and faces the rising sun's direction, and indeed an auspicious location."
The staff laughed along. "It's all thanks to your guidance, Master Sullivan."
Sable added, "My master also has prepared a great deal for the ceremony."
The staff chuckled after the comment.
Master Sullivan looked around one last time before saying, "Everything looks fine to me, but move the ceremonial ball to the east to correspond to today's lucky time. Remember to also get a new pair of scissors for the ceremony. Bring a red string, a piece of yellow paper, and some incense candles."
The staff immediately rushed to prepare, in which Master Sullivan was delighted to see his enthusiastic response.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was really simple to the point where Master Sullivan could relax. Nothing could go wrong under his guidance.
As Anthony carried Lilly into the venue, she saw the giant ceremonial ball move slightly to the side.
Lilly exclaimed, "Uncle Anthony, why are they moving the ball? I feel weird looking at it now!"
