At the scene, Ethan Laurent exchanged a few perfunctory greetings with people he knew and then kept searching for Summer Ford among the crowd.
Not far from him was Aiden Lennox, surrounded by quite a few people.
When Ethan glanced over, Aiden happened to look in his direction as well.
Their gazes met briefly, both equally indifferent, equally reserved, both shrouded in an elusive mist.
Tonight's birthday celebrant was the elder from the Lennox Family, who also looked over at that moment.
Noticing the exchange of glances, the elder walked over a few steps and introduced them, "Aiden, this is the young master of the Laurent Family. In his youth, he has expanded Rousseau to its present size. When Mr. Laurent was already quite impressive back then, Ethan is even more so, like a new wave surpassing the old!"
His words conveyed unabashed admiration for Ethan Laurent.
