“I don't know either. Let's go there first and see,” Harold replied, shrugging.
“I need to warn you, though, Mom isn't well-liked by Granddad's family, so my relatives may give us a
hard time. Try not to speak unless necessary, okay?” Afraid that Harold would create trouble for her
parents, Isabella reminded the former beforehand.
Back then, Pauline got pregnant and gave birth to Isabella before marriage. Her family, the Rivera
family, was quite influential in Newcove, so they felt she was a disgrace.
Thus, they chased Pauline out of the family.
Isabella was puzzled at the same time. Why did Granddad invite Mom over for his birthday? This is the
first time he has invited her in more than twenty years.
With confusion weighing heavily on their hearts, the two got down the bus at Newcove.
Although Newcove was not as developed as Dellmoor, it was still a second-tier city.
Plus, it was a city full of culture. Most of the country's experts on antiques and calligraphy paintings
were based in Newcove.
Isabella's maternal grandfather, Victor Rivera, was a person of true authority in Newcove.
Thus, the Rivera family was traditional and had lots of rules.
Despite having retired for many years, many of Victor's students still held positions of power in the
government.
Hence, many of Newcove's rich and powerful came to celebrate Victor's birthday, so the banquet at the
Rivera residence was extremely lively.
When Harold and Isabella reached the Rivera residence at Newcove, the courtyard had already been
decorated, and countless guests were streaming in.
They entered the Rivera residence's gigantic living room along with the crowd and saw a huge banner
with the words “Happy Birthday” written on it hanging on the wall.
Under the banner sat a frail old man, and he was the patriarch of the Rivera family, Isabella's maternal
grandfather, Victor.
According to Isabella, Victor was already ninety years old.
Beside him was Isabella's maternal grandmother, and she was around the same age as Victor.
After entering the living room, Harold glanced at Victor before turning his gaze toward Pauline and
Benson standing in the middle.
A crowd gathered around the couple who stood in the middle of the living room, and before the two of
them was a classy mahogany table.
A calligraphy painting was spread out on the table, but it had been torn from the middle.
The moment Harold saw the calligraphy painting, he understood what was going on, as he was the one
who drew it.
However, he did not understand how it ended up here.
“Hubby, what do we do if that brat lied to us, and the real God of War is the guy trying to raise funds
from all over the world?” Pauline discreetly asked in worry, glancing at the calligraphy painting on the
table.
It was Victor's ninetieth birthday today, and he even invited the daughter whom he chased out due to
her getting pregnant before marriage more than twenty years ago.
When Pauline received the invitation from her family, she even cried in excitement.
The two hurried over from Dellmoor to the Rivera residence in Newcove the day before Victor's
birthday banquet, which was yesterday.
Pauline was so thrilled that she did not even have time to be concerned with Isabella when the latter
returned.
The Rivera family was one of the most prominent families in Newcove, and Victor was the teacher of
many influential figures in Newcove.
Thus, many bigshots in Newcove had already arrived to celebrate Victor's birthday when the banquet
began the next day.
Upon arriving at the Rivera residence the previous day, Pauline's sister-in-law, Vivian, welcomed
Pauline and Benson with unusual enthusiasm.
Vivian told the two that a friend of her husband, Yulian Rivera, got his hands on the God of War's
calligraphy painting and was planning to give it to Victor as a birthday present.
Wanting to admire the calligraphy painting, Yulian got it from his friend beforehand.
