Chapter 8 — The Mysterious Heir

Phuong Nhu thought I was jealous of her, the smile at the corner of her lips deepened.
"Of course. I will definitely perform well for the Phuong family."
The next evening. Phuong's villa is brightly lit. Phuong Chinh Hoa wore a custom-made suit, Chau Uyen wore jewelry of considerable value, and Phuong Nhu was decorated like a princess about to ascend the throne. The three family members, because Phuong Minh Trach injured his leg, did not go. They stood in front of the door and lovingly encouraged each other.
“Yin Yin, remember, absolutely do not go out.”
Before leaving, Phuong Chinh Hoa did not forget to give me a stern warning.
"If I hear any rumors related to you at the party, don't return to the Phuong family anymore!"
I stood at the top of the stairs, watching them get into the Mercedes and slowly leave the villa. The moment the door closes. My phone vibrated. It's a message from Uncle Truong, Thoi Canh Tham's personal driver.
“Miss, the car is waiting for you at the back door.”
"He said the new dress prepared for you has been placed in the car. He is looking forward to your appearance tonight."
I put away my phone and conveniently threw the torn dress that Phuong Nhu gave me into the trash.
“It's time to end this boring family game.”
The venue for the Starlight Gala Dinner is located on the top floor of Van Doan Hotel, an iconic building in the heart of Kinh city. All three floors of banquet halls have been covered. The security level even surpasses some international conferences. The Phuong family's Mercedes was stopped two streets away from the main door. Because their invitation rank is too low, they can only enter from the side door, and the car cannot stop in the red law area in front of the main door. When Phuong Chinh Hoa led Chau Uyen and Phuong Nhu to walk to the side door, they just saw a group of extremely luxurious cars slowly entering the VIP entrance at the main door. Leading the way is a bespoke, bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantom. Behind are four identical black Maybachs.
"Whose convoy is that? It's too much of a show off."
Phuong Nhu carried her skirt, her eyes full of admiration looking towards that direction.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Phuong Chinh Hoa quickly pulled her back, lowered his voice, his words were filled with awe.
"The other four Maybachs are the private cars of the Luc, Bui, Hoac and Tuong families."
“And the Phantom up ahead…”
Phuong Chinh Hoa swallowed her saliva, her eyes were hot.
"In the entire city of Kinh, only billionaire Thoi is qualified to ride that car. It seems that the mysterious heir tonight is also in the car."
Phuong Nhu's heart immediately beat fast. If she has a chance to get to know that heir tonight, the Phuong family will truly fly to the sky. They were in an excited mood, went through three strict security checks, and finally entered the banquet room. But reality quickly gave them a blow to the head. Their position is in the outermost corner. Even the edge of the main hall is not counted. The people sitting here are all small bosses who came to try their luck. They couldn't even see the lights in the main hall clearly, and could only monitor the situation inside through the large screen.
“This… why is it so far away?”
Chau Uyen mumbled a little dissatisfied.
“It's great to be able to come in!” Phuong Chinh Hoa shouted in a low voice.
"Don't complain. Later, if the opportunity is right, let's go to the main hall door to invite you to drink."
Phuong Nhu was impatiently reapplying her makeup next to her, ready to show off her most perfect side at any moment. At this time. In the main hall. I sat in the private sitting room on the second floor, looking down through the one-way glass at the lavishly dressed crowd below. On me is a high-end evening gown specially transported by air from France by Thoi Canh Tham. The blue sky is as deep as the night sky, thousands of small diamonds are embedded on the skirt of the dress, each time it moves, it radiates light that makes people suffocate. This is the only perfect dress in the world, its value even exceeds the yearly profits of several small companies below.
“Miss Am, this dress is amazing.”
Tuong Dien Chau pushed the door and walked in. When he saw me, he couldn't help but whistle.
“As soon as you show up tonight, the famous ladies below will probably cry in the bathroom.”
Bui Can Xuyen walked behind him, holding a cup of warm milk in his hand.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Drink some milk for your belly. Uncle Thoi said the party could last a long time."
He gave me the milk, his eyes still cold but gentle as before.
"Everyone below has arrived. The Phuong family has also been arranged in the outermost area."
I received the glass of milk and replied calmly.
“Where is the old man?”
"Uncle Thoi is still talking to a few ministers. He will speak in about ten minutes."
Luc Muc Da casually leaned on the sofa and turned the car key in his hand.
“Miss Am, how do you plan to deal with those idiots from the Phuong family later?”
