Chapter 739
Joshua’s birthday banquet was a great event. All the famous families, companies, and celebrities in
Capitolas, the whole country, and even the world were present at the banquet with expensive gifts.
Olivia was abroad. Although she did not come personally, she had got someone to send the
congratulatory gift.
Seeing the gifts being presented, the guests were amazed.
The gifts were way too expensive! They were too precious for words.
These gifts from the outsiders were presented to Joshua at the banquet hall. Joshua only took a glance
before the gifts were directly stored.
Joshua would only look at gifts from close relatives.
After the Phil family finished giving gifts, it was Ian’s turn.
Malcolm chuckled. “It seems Dad doesn’t like the gifts we give. I don’t see Dad showing much interest
in them. Ian, it’s all up to you. Dad dotes on you the most. The gifts you give will suit him the most.”
“That’s right.” Salena chimed in. “In the past, I was the apple of Grandpa’s eye. Now Grandpa has
changed and doesn’t even look at me.”
Joshua glared at her. “Hmph, you are one to talk! No matter how many gifts you give, they can’t

“Let Nina come back to see me. No one can replace your place in my heart then.”
When she heard Nina’s name, Salena’s expression looked slightly unnatural. She lowered her head
and said nothing.
Joshua was in a good mood and did not want to make things unpleasant. Seeing this, he changed the
topic and turned to Ian with a smile.
Everyone’s gaze also shifted to Ian.
They were all waiting for his gift.
As the center of attention, Ian did not panic at all. His expression was calm. Facing everyone’s
expectations, he said lazily, “Grandpa, you love paintings and ancient things, so I’ve got more.
Grandpa, please take your time to appreciate them.”
“It must be something good.” Orson chuckled. “Dad, Ian is rich. You must take a good look. If it’s
something bad, return them and let him get you some new ones.”
Orson’s amusing words made everyone laugh.
lan raised his hand, and someone immediately presented an antique crown.
Everyone’s eyes lit up. It was the crown the queen of Rodowa wore when she ascended the throne
three years ago. It was priceless.
len took them out one by one. They were all super precious gifts.
Iven Salena was stunned. She said, “lan, you are thoughtful. You must have put in much effort.”
Josue was so pleased that he grinned from ear to ear. It was not that he cared about the preciousness
of the gifts. Having lived to his age and social status, he had seen all good things. The point was that
lan cared about him, which made him overjoyed

Ian said in a low voice, “Grandpa, I know you are a big fan of ancient paintings, but I don’t know much
about them. After a few twists and turns, I obtained a work by Master Darian Sherard. Grandpa, please
appreciate it.”

Heavens, everyone was shocked. Very few paintings of Master Darian Sherard’s paintings had been
passed down. It was said that only two or three of Darian’s paintings had been passed down through
the generations.
Unbelievably, Ian had obtained the work of Master Darian Sherard. He had indeed put in a lot of effort.
Joshua was also thrilled. He loved Darian’s landscape paintings the most. When he heard Ian had
obtained Darian’s painting, he waved his hand instantly. “Here. Let me take a look.”
lan personally took over the painting and cautiously offered it to Joshua.
When Orson saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly. He immediately glanced at his
son, Keith.
He knew that the show was about to begin.
He wondered how Joshua would feel when he saw this painting was no different from the one Joshua
had in his own house.
Would he be shocked? Would he be speechless? Or would he be disappointed by Ian’s negligence for
having given him a fake painting on his birthday?
Thinking of this, the smile on Orson’s face widened.
