..at the venue..
The place were heavily guarded, as expected an event from one of the richest family of the country is not as simple as one could imagine. There were police postings outside and inside the venue. Private intelligence were also present to ensure the safety of every guest.
The banquet was prepared a year ago. National and local medias were invited to witness the event.
The food were chosen carefully from the country's best chefs and has invited International chefs to cater the taste buds of expected guests.
Politicians, businessmen, celebrities and other influential families were invited. Although Grandfather William Cheng maintains a low profile, when it comes to celebrating his 75th birthday, his children could not restrain themselves but give the best they could since it is dearly a blessing to exist for 75 years physically, mentally and financially wealthy.
"Where are you? The party had started 30 minutes ago, your Grandpa is upset already!" Grandma Elsa Cheng desperately calling Terrence.
"We'll be there in 15 minutes Grandma, Im bringing Alicia with me." After a brief answer, Terrence turn off the phone without giving his Grandma a proper explanation and then rushed to the venue.
"Mother, Father!" Cherry Cheng, the eldest child of the Chengs, embraced and gently place a kiss on her mother's cheek and father's forehead.
Cherry is already 53 years old and is still single. She is very competent and capable in running Cheng's Grand Resort. She is the General Manager of a 24 hectares resort.
A moment later, came Mr. Peter Cheng, the only son of the Cheng family. Together with him is his wife Beatrice. They are Terrence's parents. Too busy handling and running Cheng's Grand Hotel and Cheng's Hospital. They have a very hectic schedule that even sleeping together happens once in every 2 months. They have been managing 15 branches of the Grand Hotel and 8 branches of Cheng's Hospital all over the country. Thus, explains why Terrence have to stay at his grandparents house.

"Happy birthday Daddy!" Came a very beautiful lady. She is Amanda Cheng, the youngest child of the family. She is already 45 but still looks like a dazzling teenager. She is divorced and is raising her child alone, Vanessa, a 12 year old girl. She wrapped her arms accros his father and give him a kiss on the forehead, the same she did on her mother, Madam Elsa Cheng.
Miss Amanda is in charge for the real estate business. She has amazing negotiation powers, in which one statement is enough for a client to say yes to the offer.
The oldies were very much happy seeing their children complete at the party. They had greeted their guests, started eating and entertained thierselves.
"And where is Terrence?" His father, Mr. Peter Cheng asked. Mrs. Beatrice search around the place, looking for his rebellouos son, expecting him to make a scene.
Mr Peter and Mrs. Beatrice has always been strict. Well, they have their reasons. They only have Terrence and Jackson to manage the wealth they have accumulated through the years. They could not fully count on Vanessa since she was still suffering a psychological disorder after the divorce of her parents.
They have trained Jackson since childhood on handling their business. Jackson is only 28 years old yet is now the CEO of the Cheng's Group of Companies. His parents, Mr. Petter and Mrs Beatrice, as well as Miss Amanda and Miss Cherry was under his supervision. Although at a young age, he has amazingly exceeded the expectations of his family, he has shown to them that he deserves to be the CEO.
His aunts has no problems about the shares of wealth they have to inherit, as long as the shares are still on the family circle, then everything is in order. In the end, they were a harmonious family, unlike the other families, breaking family ties just to fight for the shares they wanted.
Speaking of Jackson, he is way more handsome and 100% more professional than Terrence. He also has black hair, 5 feet 9 inches, thin red lips and an amusing eyes. He has pale skin and a 8 packs abs. However, he is scary. Very scary. No one had ever seen him smile. He is workaholic, obviously, managing the Cheng group of companies requires a lot of time.
