Chapter 57
They were familiar with the invitations. There were different types of invitations. The ones released to the public were usually standard spots, only allowing attendees to stand right at the back.
However, a special guest was different.A special guest was entitled to a seat right in front! Lex’s special guest invitation shocked many.
“The Callahans are just a second-rate family.How did they snag an invitation like this?”
"No wonder they made a spectacle out of it.The Callahans were invited as the Blithe King's special guest.”
There was a running commentary on the matter.
The Callahans must have been close to the Blithe King.
Otherwise, how would they have managed to secure this invitation? Those who were special guests were the really important people.It was simply not enough to be rich.
“Mister Callahan, it’s you.How have you been?”
“Lex, my friend.I haven’t seen you in years.You've never looked better.”
Upon seeing the invitation, plenty of important people greeted Lex personally.Lex had never felt prouder as he noticed the big shots approaching him.He felt like he finally belonged to the upper class.
Now, he enjoyed a connection with the big shots.
The Callahans were glowing with pride.
This was their moment.
James and Thea remained in the car at the end of the line.
Gladys regretted coming along.
If she knew this would happen, she would not have come.
With Lex enjoying the limelight so much, he would reward Megan.
“What a good boyfriend Megan’s landed,” she grumbled.
James said nothing.He was waiting for everyone to enter.
The higher Lex climbed now, the harder he would fall later.
Alex was there as well.He envied Lex for the special guest invitation.It was all thanks to his granddaughter who married well.He walked up to Lex, greeting him.
"How are you, Mister Callahan?"
