100 The Unveiling
Emma lounged effortlessly on her plush sofa, indulging in the delightful breakfast spread the kitchen
staff had meticulously prepared. Maxwell, on the other hand, was a picture of frustration, his phone
incessantly buzzing with calls that left him no room to breathe. Emma’s calm amidst his chaos was
almost comical.
Maxwell stormed up to Emma, his patience wearing thin. “Do you have any idea the kind of mess
you’ve stirred up? I’m drowning in calls, all thanks to your little ‘reveal‘ plan!” He sounded exasperated,
yet there was an underlying tone of concern.
Emma glanced up, a hint of amusement in her eyes. “I didn’t realize you’d be this upset over a few
calls, brother. After all, wasn’t this part of the plan?”
Maxwell couldn’t believe her nonchalance. “A few calls? Emma, this isn’t just any mess. You’ve
dragged me into this whirlwind with you! The things they’re saying about us…” His voice trailed off in
frustration.
Emma’s expression softened. She understood his irritation but couldn’t help feeling a little
mischievous. “Well, if it’s causing you so much trouble, we can always cancel the upcoming birthday

Maxwell’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Cancel? Do you even understand how much preparation has

Emma nodded thoughtfully. “Fine, let’s continue as planned. I trust you’ll come up with a solution for the
media frenzy.”
Maxwell sighed, his expression a mix of annoyance and affection. “What am I going to do with you?”
He ruffled her hair affectionately, causing Emma to playfully bat his hand away.
Their banter was interrupted by Maxwell presenting Emma with a surprise – a massive gem he had
bought at an auction. He led her upstairs, and upon opening the box, Emma found a tiara glittering with
precious stones.
“It’s for your birthday banquet,” Maxwell said, beaming with pride. “It’s fitting forthe occasion and for
you.”
Emma tried on the tiara, its elegance complementing her beauty. “It’s perfect, Maxwell. Thank you. Will
you help me put it on at the banquet?”
“Of course, I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Maxwell replied, his eyes softening.
Meanwhile, the Smirnoff family’s announcement of a grand birthday banquet for their elusive daughter
sent shockwaves through the elite circles. Rumors about Miss Smirnoff had swirled for years from her
health to her appearance – but now, the family was ready to unveil the truth. Alex, upon receiving his
invitation, was taken aback. Emma’s recent scandal and her connection to This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

the Smirnoff family seemed too coincidental. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this
story than met the eye.
Nathan, equally puzzled, echoed Alex’s thoughts. “What’s the Smirnoff family’s angle here? After all
this time, why bring her into the spotlight?”
As the high society buzzed with anticipation and speculation, the stage was set for an event that
promised to reveal much more than just a birthday celebration.
