Chapter 1224: Chapter 1227: Great-Grandson-in-Law Aidan Lucas Celebrates a Birthday Chapter 1224: Chapter 1227: Great-Grandson-in-Law Aidan Lucas Celebrates a Birthday “What's going on, why did the lights go out?” Mr. Scott's robust voice of inquiry came through the darkness.
The once lively and festive banquet hall suddenly grew dark, a humiliating embarrassment not just for the Scott family but also causing a stir amongst the guests.
Just then, a beam of red light shot upwards into the darkness, swooshing towards the ceiling and exploding into a huge, colorful ball of light.
Although it was just a special lighting effect, it looked as splendid as fireworks bursting into brilliant colors.
Mr. Scott and people like Mason Scott finally sighed in relief.
They had thought that the banquet had encountered an unexpected mishap, and the Scott family nearly lost face.
Unexpectedly, it was just part of the hotel's planned program.
Mr. Scott's initially tense face finally relaxed, sighing in relief that nothing amiss had occurred.
But before he could completely ease his mind, the ceiling that had just been aglow with colored brilliance suddenly darkened again.
Right after that, the entire ceiling of the banquet hall transformed into a vast river of stars, a boundless expanse of the sky appearing above them.
The banquet hall resounded with gasps and exclamations, high and low.
It's no wonder it's the Seven-star King's Palace, only here could one witness such a magnificent event.
Mr. Scott's face brightened with joy, knowing without asking that this must be a program specially arranged by Aidan Lucas, his great-grandson-in-law.
Before the crowd could recover from their initial amazement, a golden dragon suddenly burst forth from the vast river of stars.
The golden dragon weaved and spiraled across the dome, eventually rushing towards the main table at the very front of the banquet hall.
Mr. Scott, who was still standing in the place of honor, even with his vast experience, couldn't help feeling a thrill of fear.
Watching the golden dragon heading straight for him, Mason Scott and Wendy Jenkins, despite knowing it was fake, couldn't help but show a flustered reaction, unconsciously dodging to the side.
And Tania Scott was so scared that she hid herself in Nolan Lucas's arms.
Only Larry Scott stood motionless.
After all, Mr. Scott was not someone like Mason Scott who'd never been through trials and tribulations; the presence he had developed over years of military life kept him from panicking in the face of danger.
The golden dragon charged straight at him, and just as it seemed it would collide with the main table, it suddenly burst apart in mid-air.
Then, a line of bold and powerful golden characters floated up into the sky.
'Great-granddaughter's husband Aidan Lucas wishes Mr. Scott health as vast as the Eastern Sea and a life longer than the Southern Mountains!'
Not just Mr. Scott, but all the guests in the room were stunned by this grand birthday celebration scene.
It took quite a while before Mr. Scott was the first to snap out of it.
“Good, good, good!” Mr. Scott said three 'good's in a row, his face almost cracking with smiles.
It must be said that Aidan Lucas's arrangement was indeed magnificent and grand; tonight's banquet almost made the Scott family outshine everyone else.
“Ethan, if you want to wish me a happy birthday, why make such a big scene?”
Mr. Scott looked at Nolan, his words suggesting it was unnecessary, but the smile on his face was unmistakable.
“Ah, this child is just too polite. Our Tania is lucky to marry you, it's a fortune for the girl.”
Mr. Scott hadn't turned off the microphone he was holding, and these words of his spread through the microphone across the entire banquet hall.
At his side, Tania, at this moment, was also sweet and affectionate, snuggling up inside Nolan's arms like a docile kitten.
Only Nolan remained with a faint smile on his face.
He seemed calm and unflustered, but Larry Scott saw through it in a glance.
Some people were getting restless.
But Mr. Scott had no idea that the 'Aidan Lucas' he treated as an honored guest was just a pretender, holding a microphone and speaking familiarly, letting everyone present know that Aidan Lucas was his great-grandson-in-law.
And Frank Chamberlain, like Mr. Scott, was none the wiser.
He too believed that these programs had been arranged by Nolan.
