Chapter 295 Die Abroad
Not long after, Coral was meticulously dressed and slowly walked down the steps.
She was dressed in a sapphire blue satin dress. Her
hair was all coiled up, and she wore a beautiful diamond crown. A huge blue diamond ring was on her fi Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
nger, which was very eye–catching.
Since Coral was the birthday star, the people in the hall on the first floor all applauded for Coral.
The elegant music was on, and Coral walked down the stairs covered with a red carpet.
The shutter sounded, and the flashing lights kept falling on Coral. Her diamonds shone under the light.
The corners of Coral’s lips were raised high, and she waved at the crowd in an elegant way, like a prou
d swan.
Seeing her daughter, Mathilda had a complicated look in her eyes.
Coral slowly walked to Mathilda and held her mother’s arm.
Mathilda’s expression was indifferent as she brought her daughter to meet her close friends.
“Look at you! You have grown up. What a beautiful girl.” A lady spared no effort to compliment Coral, “I
wonder who
can be Coral’s boyfriend.”
“Exactly. I heard Coral is looking for a husband today. Do you see someone you like?”
Coral raised her head and revealed a faint smile. Her posture was quite arrogant. Hearing this, she smil
ed slightly and was rarely humble. “Well, that’s two people’s decision. It’s of no use if that man doesn’t li
ke me.”
Although she said so, the arrogance on her face did not diminish at all. She leisurely looked around, siz
ing up all the young men present, like window–shopping.
Another lady smiled, “You’re an outstanding girl. You can choose any one of them. I would like you to b
e my daughter–in–law if I had a son!”
“Even if you have a son, your family is not good enough for Coral.”
A lady joked. Then she looked at Coral and Mathilda with a flattering expression. “I heard that Coral is
working for the company now. What a promising girl. You are talented and beautiful. In my opinion, alth
ough Coral’s cousin is the president of the Longfellow Group, you are better than her.”
Hearing this, Coral was very pleased. She smiled modestly, “Thanks, but Janet did one thing right. At le
ast she has. good taste and entrusts the company to the Doherty family, not the Smedley family.”
After hearing Coral’s words, those ladies looked at each other and smiled politely.
Coral could say this, but they could not. Everyone knew that the Smedley family had three elite sons, a
nd Donahue, the eldest, was one of the largest business giants in England. There was no position for t
hem to gossip.
Coral did not care about this. At last, it was her turn to show off.
Finally, people knew that she was better than Janet!

Moreover, she didn’t know if Janet was alive or not. Everything in the Longfellow family would belong to
her father. In the future, it would belong to her!
But soon, Coral found that something was wrong.
Most of the people around her and Mathilda weren’t as rich as them. Coral looked around, but she didn’
t see any
decent young men.
She looked into
the distance and saw a few young men to whom she had taken a fancy. They were standing far away w
ith their family members and had no intention of coming over.
A few of them even ignored Coral’s gaze.
Seeing that, Coral was slightly stunned, and then she clenched her fists.
She bit her lips tightly, and displeasure welled up in her heart.
A moment later, Coral pulled Mathilda to a remote side and shook her arm.
“Mom, when will you announce that you’ll give the shares to dad?” Coral pouted in dissatisfaction.
Mathilda looked at her with a complicated look and did not speak.
Coral did not get Mathilda’s answer, which annoyed her. She was eager to show off at the party, and he
r heart was burning with anxiety. “Mom, you have to announce it quickly. Otherwise, wouldn’t this party
be in vain?”
She had just seen clearly that those upper–class men disdained to talk to her.
This was her birthday party! How could those people look down on her?
“Mom, do it!” Coral clenched her teeth slightly.
Mathilda’s heart became cold.
She thought Coral thought about nothing but herself.
Moreover, it was Coral who had personally asked her to transfer the shares of the Longfellow family to
Conrad.
Mathilda wondered if Coral knew that her father had mistresses outside.
Mathilda sneered to herself and shook off Coral’s hand. She raised her head and walked towards the st
age in a calm. and elegant manner.
Seeing this, Conrad was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
He suppressed his uneasiness and looked at Mathilda with hope, watching her walk up to the stage ste
p by step.
No accidents, please.
Everything was in his plan.

Mathilda listened to him and loved him so much. Today was Coral’s birthday party. She would hand ove
r the Longfellow family to him with no doubt.
Moreover, he chose that day not just because it was Coral’s birthday, but more importantly,
he had asked a fortune–teller to pick up a lucky day for him. There would be no mistakes!
Thinking of this, Conrad straightened his back and looked at Mathilda on the stage with a burning gaze.
Mathilda stood on the stage and looked around at the crowd below. Finally, she slowly swept her gaze
across Conrad and curled her lips into a faint smile.
“First of all, I want to thank all of you for coming all the way to attend Coral’s birthday party. Now I will a
nnounce the news my husband just said.”
As Mathilda spoke, her face revealed just the right amount of sadness and heaviness. She wiped the
corners of her eyes and said in a choked voice, “The first thing I want to announce is Janet, the preside
nt of the Longfellow Group, who is also my niece. She died in an accident abroad many days ago.”
As she spoke, Mathilda’s eyes flashed, and tears fell from her eyes. She looked very sad.
Below the stage, Conrad put on a painful look, too. Those who didn’t know better would believe that he
was
heartbroken about Janet’s death.
People looked at the family with different expressions. Before they could process this shocking news, t
hey heard Mathilda speaking again.
“Now that Janet was gone, I am very sad, but I can’t sit and see the Longfellow family fall. So, for the s
ake of the Longfellow family, I decided to take responsibility as the daughter of the Longfellow family. I’ll
take over the burden. on Janet and become the new president of the Longfellow Group. Now that the h
andover is almost finished, I will take office in a few days.”
