The ushers gathered all the guests.
Iris and Jin Liwei followed everyone. Their disguised bodyguards positioned themselves strategically around the couple.
Waiters served everyone some refreshments. Jin Liwei took two glasses of champagne and gave one to his wife.
Ashandra Knightson also held a glass of champagne in one hand and the microphone in her other hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my art exhibition! First of all, thank you very much for coming today. This collection, 'Generations', is the biggest and most emotional collection that I've ever created so far. I don't know how many times I had to stop myself and take a break while creating these art pieces because of my emotions. I even needed to attend a few therapy sessions to help me navigate all the plethora of emotions I was experiencing at that time."
Some of the guests gasped.
