Chapter 201 The Hawk Family’s Birthday Banquet
Finished
By nightfall, the Hawk residence glowed like a jewel under the stars, a steady stream of luxury cars pulling up to the gates.
Tonight was the Hawk patriarch’s birthday banquet. None of the prominent families dared to show the slightest neglect – after all, gaining favor with the Hawk family was the dream of
many.
Lillian unbuckled her seat belt and glanced at the man beside her. “Mr. Whitmore, I’m heading in,” she said as she reached for the car door.
Sebastian suddenly reached out, caught her hand, and pulled her back.
“What is it p>
Without answering, he retrieved a small brocade box from the compartment by the seat. When he flipped it open, a necklace of brilliant blue diamond gleamed inside.
Lillian stared, puzzled. “This is p>
“The Eternal Heart p>
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the breathtaking necklace. She’d heard of the Eternal Heart before – a world-renowned piece, with a blue diamond at its center said to weigh a hundred carats. It was worth a staggering fortune. She never imagined she’d see it up close, let alone have it placed in her hands.
Seeing her stunned expression, Sebastian lifted the necklace from its box and leaned in to clasp it gently around her neck. The blue diamond sparkled against her pale skin, dazzling beneath the car’s interior lights.
“It’s beautiful,” he murmured in quiet admiration.
Lillian lowered her gaze to the jewel resting against her chest. “This is far too valuable p>
Sebastian brushed a soft kiss across her forehead. “Not even a fraction as precious as you p>
Her heart fluttered under his steady, tender gaze. Somewhere along the way, she’d let him walk this far with her-without even realizing it.
Inside the Hawk residence, the moment she stepped into the grand banquet hall, every head turned toward her.
She wore a champagne gown that shimmered beneath the chandeliers, the diamonds at the hem glinting like scattered starlight.

And then there was her face – so breathtaking it silenced the room, her eyes like brilliant stars scattered across the night.
As murmurs rippled through the crowd, a cheerful voice broke the quiet.
“Lillian, you’re finally here p>
A young man strode toward her, silver-gray shirt perfectly tailored, black dress pants sharp and crisp. His handsome face lit up with an easy smile, and when he smiled, the faint dimples at the corners of his lips deepened.
Lillian returned the smile, polite and warm. “Mr. Cayden, it’s been a while p>
“I was afraid you wouldn’t come,” Cayden admitted with a soft laugh.
“For Mr. Geo’s birthday?” Lillian arched a brow with a slight smile. “No matter how busy I am, I’d never miss it p>
For a moment, Cayden was dazed. Two years had passed, and the girl he remembered was gone -replaced by a young woman with quiet, unshakable poise. “Come on; Grandpa’s been talking about you nonstop. He’ll be thrilled to see you p>
As the two walked deeper into the hall, the crowd watched in stunned silence, exchanging quiet speculation. The Hawk family’s second son was so openly warm with her.
From their brief exchange, it was obvious that Geo himself held her in high regard.
Lillian followed Cayden to a private room, where Geo stood among a group of guests, laughing and chatting with ease, his presence lively and commanding — a stark contrast to the frail man she remembered lying in a hospital bed.
“Grandpa, look who’s here,” Cayden called as they stepped inside.
Calm and composed, Lillian walked up to the old man with a polite smile. “Mr. Geo, it’s been far too long. You look even younger and more distinguished than before p>
Geo’s stern brows softened with warmth as he looked at her. “You little girl… still as smooth- tongued as ever. If I hadn’t sent an invitation, would you have even come to visit me p>
Over the past two years, he had watched Jiutian’s meteoric rise; this girl’s abilities left him genuinely impressed. Among the younger generation, aside from that Whitmore boy, she was the one he admired the most.
“You’re right; that’s on me.” She smiled and reached into her handbag, pulling out a small porcelain vial and offering it to him. “I made these health pills especially for you. May your home be filled with ink and poetry, and may you remain evergreen and strong p>

She had struggled to decide on a gift, but in the end, health was more valuable than anything else.
Geo’s eyes brightened, and a hearty laugh bubbled up. “What a fine blessing. Then I’ll gladly accept, with thanks.” He took the bottle from her with obvious delight.
