Once they were gone, Alfred turned to the sales representative and commanded, “Pack that necklace and bring it here. Hurry up.”
“Yes, Sir. I’ll do it right away,” the sales representative responded, not daring to hesitate as she rushed to follow
his orders.
Meanwhile, Alfred leaned closer to Alex and whispered apologetically, “Please accept the necklace as a gift. It’s on the house, and I sincerely apologize for my staff’s behavior, I hope you’ll take it, so I can have some peace of mind tonight.”
After a brief pause, Alex nodded.
“Alright.”
Alfred sighed in relief whert Alex accepted the gift. This either meant that Alex wasn’t angry with him anymore or that he had been forgiven.
Phew! Thank goodness!
The sales representative returned, holding the wrapped necklace.
To everyone’s surprise, instead of handing the package to Alfred, she respectfully presented it to Alex with a deep bow.
“Sir, is this to your satisfaction?” she asked, keeping her head lowered.
Alex nodded as he accepted the necklace.
The sales representative was relieved and pleased that Alex approved.
She knew better than to offend him, especially after witnessing what had just transpired.
She even thought Jerry might lose his hearing after Mr. Alfred slapped him.
Impressed by her quick thinking, Alfred promptly announced, “I’m appointing you as the new manager.”
The saleswoman immediately bowed respectfully before Alfred and Alex.
“Thank you so much, sir. I promise I won’t disappoint you.
“You’d better not,” Alfred said sternly. “I won’t tolerate any disrespect. If you slip up, you’ll be fired. Be mindful. of your words from now on, and keep quiet about what happened today.”
She nodded vigorously. “Yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir.”
She remained bowing deeply with enormous respect, waiting for Alfred and Alex to leave.
“Master, do you have any other orders for me? Would you like a ride?” Outside the shop, Albert offered.
Alex took out the invitation card Amelia had prepared for the banquet and handed it to Alfred.
“I have other matters to attend to. Deliver this card and the necklace to Beverly Hills, Silver Mansion, and ensure that Sophia Lancaster receives them on my behalf.”
“Yes, Master.” Alfred bowed, but when he looked up, Alex was already gone.
Alex was heading to Kingswell.

The text Alex received earlier was from the secretary at the kingswell local headquarters.
The headquarters had just received a shipment of precious herbs and crystals intended for the training of novice knights.
They needed Alex’s expertise to produce the secret pill for them, as well as his signature to authorize the allocation and distribution.
Without his ability and authorization, the shipment, as well as the entire operation, would be at a standstill.
Alex needed to move quickly to address the situation, as some of the herbs required immediate treatment to maintain their full potency.
On the other hand, Alfred quickly instructed his guards to deliver the jewelry and the invitations to Silver Mansion, just as Alex had requested.
Meanwhile, in Sophia’s living room, Chris and Lyra were still discussing the upcoming banquet with her “I’m confident that my father will secure invitations for us through his connections,” Chris said casually. “I hope he succeeds. That banquet is the talk of the town,” Sophia replied.
Lyra sighed, “I’ve heard even the richest families are struggling to get invitations.”
“Don’t worry, just be patient,” Chris reassured her with a confident smile. “I’ll hear from my father soon.”
He was certain. With his father’s connections, especially with Alfred Kingston, he believed he could make anything happen in Vancouver.
At that moment, the Lancaster family’s butler entered the room, carrying a beautifully wrapped gift and three invitation cards.
“What’s this?” Sophia asked, intrigued.
“I’m not sure, ma’am. These were handed to me at the gate with instructions to deliver them to you,” the butler explained.
“Thank you. You may go,” Sophia said as she took the blue invitation card from the package.
She opened the card and, with a joyful exclamation, announced, “It’s an invitation to the banquet!”
Lyra cheered, “Oh my god! We got the invitation!”
Sophia was shocked; she could hardly believe her
eyes.
She hadn’t expected to receive the invitation so quickly and easily.
It was clear that Chris’s influence had made all the difference for them.
She couldn’t help but wish her family had such powerful connections.
“We did, but it’s all thanks to Chris. We wouldn’t have gotten this without your help,” Sophia said happily, smiling at Chris with gratitude.
“Exactly,” Lyra agreed, nodding. “Your family’s connections are really impressive.”
“Chris, I must say, you’re incredibly generous and kind. You’re our greatest benefactor!” Sophia added gratefully.
“Don’t exaggerate. It was my father who got us the invitation,” Chris replied with a smile, trying to sound humble, though the satisfied grin on his face was unmistakable.

Even Chris was surprised by the invitation cards,
He hadn’t realized just how efficient his father was–his father had truly gone above and beyond!
