Chapter 1040: A Birthday Party Filled With Big Bosses (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

When the reporters joined the party, their eyes widened even further.

Big bosses whom they hadn’t seen at the entrance were at the party too. This party must be a top-secret one for sure, right? There were so many influential figures here! Any one of them easily made headlines in the news.

The Queen of the UK and Princess Lucy were here…

So was Karl Moore, the boss of an overseas security service…

Even the internationally famous star Kelvin Hart was here…

And that wasn’t all…

The most renowned hacker Solo was also here!

Solo, who had been active in the United States the last few years, had assisted the police in solving numerous cases and was currently under employment in the United States. His claim to fame came when he represented the United States in an international network breach and defense competition and clinched the champion title.

There were also many other familiar faces commonly seen on TV…

One of them was Logan Anderson who had represented the United States in a car racing competition and emerged as champion.

The reporters were dumbfounded.

Why were there so many people here?!

Had this been Justin’s birthday party, the guest list would make complete sense, but it wasn’t! It was Mrs. Hunt’s!

It didn’t matter how much Justin doted on his wife because those big bosses would never go along with his frivolous demands.

What was going on?

The reporters parked themselves somewhere and squatted down.

They knew that if they wanted to know what was going on, all they had to do was wait. Once the guests started to present their gifts, they would eventually talk. When that happened, all would be clear.

Nora didn’t notice the reporters at all.

She yawned and looked at the bunch of familiar faces in front of her.

She had already spotted Kelvin long ago, but she merely raised her brows and looked at Justin.

The cousins certainly bore a striking resemblance to each other. With a bit of makeup, they would look like they were one and the same. Back then, when she had been overseas, Kelvin had even hit on her. However, after everything ended, Justin had explained everything to her.

It was imperative that he did so. Otherwise, it would be awfully awkward if a misunderstanding formed between his cousin and his wife.

Kelvin was exceptionally respectful toward Nora now, and he didn’t behave as roguishly as Justin had when he was impersonating him.

Something worth mentioning was that Kelvin was now in a relationship with Sheril Anderson.

After her boyfriend cheated on her, Sheril had thrown herself into her research. For the longest time, there was no love interest in her life—until she met Kelvin one day.

As an international superstar, Kelvin was simply too dashing.

When he confessed to her, Sheril completely fell for him.

The couple had already secretly gotten married. After all, Sheril only wanted to lead a peaceful life as a researcher and coop herself up in the pharmacy to study new drugs. She didn’t want reporters tailing her and keeping tabs on her private life.

Both of them were currently focusing on their careers, so they hadn’t had any children yet. This greatly troubled Nora’s aunt, Melissa Anderson. She urged, “You’re already 33 years old. If you put this off any longer, you’ll face much higher pregnancy risks!”

Logan, who was next to them, said, “Yeah, Mom’s right, Sheril. I want a niece or a nephew too!”

Sheril looked at Kelvin.

Kelvin rubbed his nose and suddenly said, “We’ll try for a kid when Logan finds a girlfriend. There’s no hurry…”

His words diverted Melissa’s attention at once. She turned straight to Logan and said, “He’s right! How come you haven’t found a single girlfriend yet?!”

Logan: “!!”

His brother-in-law was as devious as Justin!

The family’s banter with one another was a heartwarming sight.

Nora smiled. Suddenly, someone leaned toward her. Solo asked, “Hey, Anti. Why isn’t Brenny here yet?”

Though he had found a proper job and was already in his early thirties, Solo surprisingly still looked as young and handsome as he did back then.

Nora raised her brows at his question.

She asked, “It’s already been so many years, but you still haven’t succeeded in wooing her?”

A bleak look flashed across Solo’s eyes.

He scratched his head and replied, “Well, you know how it is. Both Brenny and I don’t believe in marriage, so there’s not much point in obsessing over whether I’ve managed to woo her or not. I just haven’t seen her in two months, so I miss her a lot…”

Nora: “…”

The two of them could be said to be star-crossed lovers.

Solo had unknowingly been an accomplice in the events that led to the death of Brenda’s teammate, and Brenda simply couldn’t get over it or let it go.

Nora asked curiously, “Didn’t she already let it go after that case from five years ago?”

Solo and Brenda had worked together that time to catch a criminal.

To protect Brenda, Solo had taken a bullet to the chest.

A tearful Brenda had called Nora in the middle of the night, who then hurried over in a helicopter to operate on Solo. Only then did he manage to escape death.

They had already reconciled in the hospital ward at that time.

Brenda had also finally relented and forgiven Solo!

The two had even gotten engaged…

But for some unknown reason, the couple had separated again later.

Solo gave Nora a resigned smile when he heard her question.

At this point, they heard some noise coming from the entrance. The pair turned to see Brenda striding into the room.
