The Cooper family was full of exuberance, their joy bubbled up to the point of bursting from their noses.
Maddox was beaming, he turned to his guests and said, "I apologize for the wait, but I assure you, it was well worth.
Thank you all for gracing my birthday feast. I hope everyone will enjoy themselves tonight and have their fill — no one leaves sober."
Maddox could hardly contain his manly vigour at the moment, it was as if he was standing on cloud nine, looking down upon the world below.
Then, Maddox called to his servants, "Come on, open the banquet, bring the fine wine and dishes quickly!"
As his voice fell, all of the Cooper family's servants launched into action.
However, at this moment, David Herb, who had been silent since he entered, looked at Maddox quizzically and asked, "Start the banquet? What banquet?"
Hmm?
Maddox's smile froze on his face as he heard this, and he looked at David Herb, perplexed.
"Mr... Mr. Herb, what is...?" Maddox looked confused.
