Chapter 280 Triple Assurance

“Alright. You two can handle my birthday however you like,” Evan said with a smile.

In the past, he had always gone out of his way to plan birthdays for Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya, racking his brain make them happy in every possible way.

Now, it was his turn to enjoy.

Delighted, Evan screamed inwardly, ‘Hell, yeah! I’ll be celebrating my birthday on September 3rd, not April 2811 To hell with you, Zeke!”

Sylvie and Estelle’s eyes lit up with joy when they sensed his excitement. “Great! Leave it to us!

What they hadn’t told Evan was that all the major forces in the city were already paying close attention to his birthday.

Their plan was simple. Even if their daughters couldn’t marry Evan, they still had to get close to him. And a birthday celebration was the most natural, formal occasion to do so.

Setting aside whether their gift suited Evan’s taste, at least they had made their attitude clear.

Rumors had it that many families had started making preparations.

Soon, word spread that Evan would indeed be celebrating his birthday.

All the forces who were keeping an eye on Evan’s birthday, including big shats like the Director of Security, the Director of the Finance Bureau, and the Director-General of Charity Organizations, immediately went into a frenzy. 2

Until then, most of them had been waiting and watching. Since there had been no confirmation that Evan would even celebrate, they hadn’t wanted to spend too much effort preparing.

Now that they had found out he had decided to throw a birthday party, they had no more reservations.

The gifts they prepared were absolutely over-the-top. Some were exceptionally rare. Others were absurdly expensive..

Jasper, the Director-General of Charity Organizations, even went all out and booked The Gilded Lounge, the most expensive clubhouse in the city, to celebrate Evan’s birthday.

A full day passed, and the city was still buzzing with talk of Evan’s upcoming birthday. Every major force was scrambling to decide what gift they should prepare.

Sylvie and Estelle had also prepared their gifts well in advance. They were so excited that they couldn’t sleep all night.

After all, it was the first birthday they celebrated with Evan after his divorce. That alone gave it special meaning. For Estelle especially, it felt even more precious.

Without ever saying it outright, the two girls had already reached an unspoken agreement: On Evan’s birthday, he would be king. And whatever he asked for, they would do their best to grant it.

Sure enough, such a commotion attracted a lot of attention.

In the bustling city center, Gabriel sneered as he sat inside the presidential suite. “Why are those big shots in

Silverton making such a grand spectacle? I heard they even bought a lot of expensive gifts. Whose birthday are they celebrating? They didn’t even put in this much effort for my Dad’s birthday!”

Gabriel look ba

displeased. “Any updates regarding the matter I asked them to investigate?”

It turned out that he had asked the prominent figures in Silverton to investigate Evan’s relationship with the Solbergs after he failed to deal with him last time.

Logically, he should have known the result soon, considering how trivial the matter was. Yet, several days had passed, and there was still no update.

“Mr. Gabriel, there hasn’t been any reply yet,” the Four Martial Servants said, shaking their heads.

“Useless idiots! They’re all a bunch of good-for-nothings!” Gabriel roared suddenly. “Instead of getting their job done, these guys only focus on attending meaningless parties. As I see it, they don’t take me seriously at all!” 1

The Four Martial Servants remained silent, knowing Gabriel had been in a particularly bad mood ever since he failed to make a move that day.

Little did they know that the reason the mayor and the other powerful figures didn’t tell them the results was to protect Gabriel.

Given that Evan had long since severed ties with the Solbergs, he could attack whenever he wanted.

And the moment he acted, both he and his father would be as good as dead.

Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya also learned about the news of Evan’s birthday celebration. However, they didn’t have time to concern themselves with it, for they had more important things to do.

“Hazel,” Roxanne said over the phone, her voice low, “we now have two paths. The energy drug can cure Zeke. And my family has two life-saving drugs. I’m going to steal one.”

“Okay, let’s split up then. I’ll find a chance to steal a life-saving drug while you keep searching for the whereabouts of the energy drug.

“Anya, you’re responsible for cooperating with us and ready for our command 24/7. As for Evan, I’ll marry him. I need to keep him under control. That way, we’ll have at least one guarantee.”

This was the plan the three of them had finalized over the past two days while Roxanne stayed at the Leighton

Estate.

They wanted to implement triple assurance for their only goal-to cure Zeke’s illness completely.

Now, Roxanne had made up her mind to marry Evan. Once she married him, she would keep him firmly under her control—just like Hazel had done before.

And with that, the three of them began to act.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was both Roxanne’s wedding day and Evan’s birthday.
