Sean shivered in elation at the thought of killing Albert tonight!
His father was right, Don Albert was Charlie's firearm i n Aurous Hill!
If they wanted to attack Charlie, they must first remove his firearm!
Not only must they remove his firearm, but they also had to turn the firearm into their own!
That way, the firearm would become the bridgehead for the Webb family to march into Aurous Hill in the future!
At that time, Charlie would pay the price with his own life for insulting them and tackling Sean's girl!
The Quinton family and the White family would also pay the price for not taking the Webb family's side!
Donald looked at Sean and said flatly, "You must learn to calm down and put up a poker face, don't let your true emotions show so easily on your face and body language.”
Sean quickly retracted his grin. "Okay, Dad, I understand!"
"Good." Donald nodded, putting Charlie’s matter behind him, and he asked, "Have you prepared the birthday gift for Lord Moore?"
Sean nodded. "Yes, I have. I've inquired and found out that Lord Moore likes the works of Johannes Vermeer. He owns a tiny collection himself, so I specially asked someone to take a copy of The Geographer from our home gallery as the birthday gift. It is worth at least two to three billion, I believe he will like it!” 5
Donald nodded, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.
The Geographer was a treasure among treasures in the Webb family. With the painting as a stepping stone, he was certain that it would open the Moore family's door and be more welcoming to their family, and they might even agree to the marriage proposal. 2
Finally, the birthday banquet had officially begun. 1
Lord Moore walked onto the small stage and thanked all the guests present for attending his 80-year-old birthday banquet. 1
After a short speech, the next agenda was the guests taking turns to congratulate Lord Moore and present their gifts.
Two bodyguards in black suits carried an imperial armchair onto the stage and assisted Lord Moore to sit on the chair.
