The Reincarnation of the Tough Empress Being a Neglected Wife
Eps 14's

Az is done with everything prepared to attend tonight's event. Yuki and the other servants stared in amazement at Az's graceful and beautiful appearance like an angel.

"Your young lady is indeed very beautiful." praised Yuki.

"Master has arrived and is waiting for you in the young lady's car" Sidney said suddenly from outside Az's bedroom door.

"Are we going to leave?" ask Az.

"Yes, my lady, the great sir said that you are almost too late to attend the event" Sidney replied.

"Hm okay." replied Az.

Az stepped out towards where his grandfather was waiting. Samuel was standing leaning against the car door as Az walked out of the door. Samuel smiled and stepped in to welcome his favorite grandson when he saw Az coming out of the mansion door.

"You're so beautiful, dear Az." praised Samuel.

"The young lady will steal all the attention tonight with her beauty" Yuki said behind Az.

"Stop praising me all of you" Az said.

"We don't praise dear, but grandfather and Yuki tell the facts" Samuel said.

"Whatever." said Az.

"Come...! We're too late. The main event will begin soon. Old Gerald's been calling repeatedly to get me there." Take Samuel.

They left in two vehicles. Az and Samuel use the car that Samuel usually uses with Jake as his driver while Yuki and Sidney are unlikely to be separated from Az using the car that they and Az usually use with Sidney as his driver.

"Why do I have to be at this party, Grandpa?" az asked as the vehicle started moving leaving his mansion.

"Gerald was my best friend for a long time even since your mother was a baby we've been friends. He knew that grandfather had found the granddaughter that grandfather had been looking for so he was curious to see you. Tonight happens to be his grandson who just returned from abroad for a birthday and he wants to be on this show Grandpa brought you to be introduced to him and his granddaughter." explained Samuel.

"Grandfather isn't tired just coming back from out of town and not taking a break straight to tonight's event?" ask Az.

"Grandfather had long since rested on his way back from out of town. After seeing this grandfather's favorite granddaughter, after all, grandfather did not feel tired at all." replied Samuel while stroking Az's head.

In the Gerald residence at this time was already very crowded. Even though tonight's event only invites family and closest people, only, guests who came quite a lot considering their families were a large family and several business associates as well as people who served in their companies were also present.

Due to the large number of guests they decided to take the outdoor theme and make the garden behind the house very spacious into a banquet place.

"Hi man!" greet Elliot to Devan as he and Jasmine arrive at Mr. Gerald's residence.

They shook hands and hugged each other like best friends.

"I don't think you're coming, considering it's almost the main event" Devan said.

"Looking man, I won't miss my best friend's important day." said Elliot.

"Well, this is my girlfriend Jasmine. Honey, this is Devan my best friend during college." said Elliot introduced the two.

"Jasmine." said Jasmine as she extended her hand with a smile.

"Devan." saut Devan welcomed Jasmine's hand while trying to smile.

After that Elliot and Devan coolly chatted regardless of Jasmine who was just standing quietly next to Elliot.

"Ah why this handsome and rich man has just appeared and why he should be the best friend of this boring Elliot." Jasmine's inner self as she stared alternately at Elliot and Devan as if comparing the two.

"No problem, I can try to get that handsome young master's heart with my charm and kick out this boring man when I've already managed to get the young master to his knees on me." Jasmine was still busy with her daydream.

"Let's go over there, the show will start." take Mr. Gerald to them.

"What are you daydreaming about, right?" elliot whispered while touching Jasmine's arm making Jasmine surprised.

"Ah sorry I'm a little bored because you ignored me in a foreign place so I'm less focused" said Jasmine.

"Come, the show will start soon." invite Elliot to ignore Jasmine's complaint.

They all gathered near the table where the birthday cake was placed. Devan was already standing in front of that table with Mr. Gerald and his parents. Mr. Gerald looked a little agitated making Devan ask.

"Is there a problem? Why did Grandpa look agitated from earlier?" ask Devan.

"Well..... Ah that's the one you're waiting for" said Mr. Gerald, watching Samuel walk over.

Mr. Gerald smiled to see Samuel coming he immediately welcomed his friend.

"Finally you came too" said Mr. Gerald.

"I'm sorry I just arrived from an out-of-town assignment while I came straight here after picking up my granddaughter" Samuel said.

"Then, where's your favorite grandson, why don't you bring him here?" ask Mr. Gerald.

"Az was going to the bathroom with Yuki and Sidney" Samuel replied.

"The two beautiful bodyguards are still always near you apparently" said Mr. Gerald.

"They are now my grandson's servants and bodyguards. I'm not going to hand over my granddaughter to an obscure person to look after." explained Samuel.

"Come there! I will introduce my grandson to you." said Mr. Gerald.

"Devan, meet my grandfather's friend from the young and a person who has contributed greatly to the achievements of our company to date" said Mr. Gerald.

"Good night sir, introduce my name Devan" Devan politely extended his hand.

"Call Sam's grandfather. Your grandfather is still exaggerating in telling me about me. I don't have a hand in anything that makes you successful because you're capable." Samuel said.

"Grandfather did not overdo Sam's grandfather, if Sam's grandfather did not help us at that time then our family company will only stay the name at this time." devan said politely because he knew very well what his grandfather meant.

The Gerald family company is in trouble as one of its members who is a cousin of Mr. Gerald's corruption and runs away brings investment money for the project they are about to undertake.

"How did this happen?" asked Mr. Gerald in a raised voice.

"Uncle Bob is running away with the money we should be carrying out our big project" Darren Devan's father said.

"How is this, we have to continue with the project or we have to compensate the investors several times. But the funds to continue the project are also not small." lamented Darren.
