Chapter 97 - Surprise at the party (2)

There were only three people who didn't raise their glasses. Alexei, Katia, and Sophia. The faces of the two girls looked very angry, but Alexei had a smirk on his face. It was as if he was enjoying the whole show.

"I can't believe this..." Katia hissed. "They have only known each other for a few months..."

"Do you know that girl?" Sophia asked.

"I know her..." Katia answered, trying to hide the angry tone in her voice, "She is an ordinary woman Caspar met in Singapore."

"And they have only known each other for a few months?" Sophia asked, interested. "How come they are already married now?"

"I don't know. How stupid... How could they decide to get married this soon." Katia sighed.

Finland knew that Katia still loved Caspar, but now she married the man Katia loved! How could she not think about Katia's feelings? Katia was feeling bitter and angry.

Alexei looked at Katia and smiled, "Love does make men do stupid things."

Sophia narrowed her eyes and grumbled irritably, "I will not let Caspar live with an ordinary woman. He is a pure Alchemist, he must marry someone his equal."

"You know Aldebar will definitely give her the immortality potion so that she can also be part of Alchemist," Alexei said. "If I can take away the formula and destroy it, then we no longer need to accept new members from outsiders."

Sophia looked at her brother sharply, "We have to work hard. The Schneider family is too kind to humans. They must not continue being Alchemist leaders. You know, last month Caspar met Sam Atlas in Seattle and they talked about alchemy and our people."

Katia was surprised to hear that.

"Sam Atlas? The owner of Atlas Corp? He is an ordinary person, not our clan member, why did Caspar meet him?"

"Apparently Caspar wanted to buy Atlas Corp and Sam Atlas refused to sell, finally he offered knowledge about Alchemist to Sam to persuade him to sell the company. You know Sam has sniffed our tracks for a few years now and he is very eager to search for more information..."

"This must not be allowed." Alexei snorted. "But we should not talk about it here. Tomorrow there will be a time and place for it. I have contacted our supporters to meet. Now we should spread and talk to other people to persuade them to join. They must know that our lives will be threatened if the Schneider family continues to rule. "

Sophia nodded and gave a signal to a few girls who seemed to be her followers. They immediately spread among the guests. Katia looked at Alexei as if asking him what she should do.

Alexei understood the meaning of Katia's look. He then took the girl and walked towards the open bar. He whispered softly to Katia's ear as they walked, "You stay by my side. Don't draw attention here. Later we must congratulate the host. You may need to drink first."

A very famous world singer came on stage and began singing to entertain the guests. Finland didn't even know that this singer could be booked for a private event, because the tickets to her concerts were usually worth hundreds of dollars each.

"OH MY GOD... that's Billie Yves!" Finland exclaimed in amazement. She really liked the young genius musician's works. Billie Yves was only 17 years old when she first released her album eight years ago, and her raspy voice sounded very beautiful, especially when she sang ballads.

Billie had a beautiful, distinctive face, and a rather quirky appearance with long, blue hair. Jean once said he knew Billie and he would someday take Finland to her concert. Unexpectedly, tonight, Finland could see her idol in person.

"Aldebar always throws great parties," Flora commented. "All the artists who perform are world class. They all waited in a special room during his speech so they didn't hear what he was saying."

Finland nodded understandingly. If regular people attended this party heard that it was a celebration for Aldebar's 200th birthday, there would definitely be commotion.

Herewith, Aldebar amazed Finland even more. He went all out in organizing the most amazing birthday party Finland had ever attended. Even Bartz's new product launch event was nothing compared to Aldebar's party.

[Jean... you won't believe this... I finally see Billie Yves perform!]

Finland could not hold back her excitement and immediately wrote an SMS to Jean to share the happy news.

"What is wrong?" Caspar asked when he saw Finland's glowing face.

"Billie Yves... This is one of my favorite musicians. I always wanted to see her perform." Finland said, pointing to the stage.

Before Caspar could respond, Finland's cellphone rang. It was Jean.

"I have to pick this phone call up. One second." Finland then opened her cellphone, "Hello, Jean."

"Where are you?" Jean asked at the end of the telephone, but Finland couldn't hear the question.

The atmosphere was noisy due to the music performance.

"I can't hear you. Let me look for a quiet place first..." Finland was forced to shout so she could hear her own voice. She kissed Caspar on the cheek and excused herself to get out of the venue and walked to the hallway away from the sound of music.

"It's really noisy here, I'll look for a quiet place..." Jean also replied with the same words.

"I'm in Germany... I told you already." The atmosphere in the hall was not as busy as in the venue, and Finland could hear Jean's voice. "It turned out that Caspar's brother invited Billie Yves to perform."

"Finland... are you here ?!" Jean's voice came in a tone of disbelief.

Somehow his voice sounded like it came from in front of Finland and not her cellphone. Finland raised her face and stared in disbelief.

Jean was standing in front of her with a cellphone in hand. Apparently, they both came out of the venue and walked to the hallway for the phone call.

How could Jean be here? Finland was shocked.

Jean was just as surprised as Finland, and for a few seconds, both could only stare at each other.
