    Chapter 181


    Abigail realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.


    “Does Levi have any other identities?”


    Zoey looked at Abigail dubiously, wondering if they were hiding anything from her.


    Leviughed it off as he joked, “Abigail was just worried that they’d found out that I was an ex-convict.”


    “Yeah, I thought that was the reason the rm went off,” Abigail reacted swiftly to Levi’s cover-up,


    which managed to temporarily ease Zoey’s suspicion.


    “What happened just now? Were you carrying anything that caused the rm to sound non-stop?”


    Aaron asked.


    “Oh, it’s just my lighter that is made of brass, that’s why it got picked up by the metal detectors!” Levi


    replied, as he took out his lighter and showed it to Aaron.


    “Oh, let’s go then, Bailey had sent someone to pick us up. The car had been waiting outside for a


    while!”


    Caitlyn was also raring to go.


    The group was driven to the Hilton Hotel.


    Due to therge number of guests invited to the birthday banquet, the guests were temporarily

    “It seems like dad and mom had not yetpletely gotten over what happenedst time! Otherwise,


    we would be staying at the ck family mansion instead of the hotel, together with the rest of the


    guests!”


    Caitlyn’s disappointment was apparent as she said that.


    “Don’t worry, honey, we’re going to impress your family memberster. I guarantee that their opinions


    of us will change for the better after that!”


    Aaron was brimming with optimism as heforted his wife.


    It was important to the couple to be recognized by the ck family.


    After everyone settled down in their hotel rooms, Abigail went to look for Levi and Zoey. “My cousins


    from the ck family are having a gathering tonight, do you guys want to tag along?” She asked.


    “Sure, we’ll go!” Levi and Zoey epted the invite readily.


    Abigail drove them to the venue in her pink Maserati.


    The gathering was held at the Scarlet Aegis Hotel.


    A meal there costs at least ten thousand.


    Different models of luxury cars could be seen parked in the hotel’s parking lot.


    Abigail led Levi and Zoey to the private room, where dozens of people had already gathered and were


    engaged in animated discussions with each other.


    “Hey, Abigail is here! Let’s wee her!”


    As Abigail was also a part of the Rogers family, she was very well-liked and popr among her cousins


    in the ck family.


    For everyone else in the room, it was their first time meeting Levi and Zoey.


    When they saw Zoey, most of them were stunned by her beauty and were eager to know her.


    “Abigail, why are you not introducing your friends to us?” One of Abigail’s cousins urged.


    “This is Aunt Caitlyn’s daughter, Zoey. She’s our cousin too! This is Levi, Zoey’s husband,” Abigail said.


    “Oh! So it’s our cousin Zoey!”


    Abigail’s brothers were the first to greet Zoey.


    As for Levi, he was being treated as though he was invisible.


    There were also a few attendees at the gathering who did not belong to the ck family, which meant


    that they were not blood-rted to Zoey.


    The men who belonged to that category couldn’t keep their eyes off Zoey. After all, it was not everyday


    that one woulde across such an exquisite beauty.


    After some mingling with the others, Levi found out that tonight’s gathering was organized by Zoey’s


    cousins, Keane and Quintus.


    As the both of them were direct male descendants of the ck family, they were both held in high


    regard by the rest.


    Naturally, they were also the main focus of every discussion topic which went on that night.


    Keaneughed as he said, “Zoey, I heard that your husband, Levi, was previously a dark horse of


    North Hampton’s business arena. Even the business moguls and owners of leading enterprises in


    South City knew his name. What’s he up to these days?”


    Quintus chuckled and said, “Yeah, I remember that too. But we haven’t heard any news about him in a


    long while.”


    The two men were not trying to take a dig at Zoey, but were genuinely curious.


    The ck family was among the wealthiest in the city. Naturally, Zoey and her family would not be


    important enough for them to pay any attention to.


    They did try to find out more about Levi, during the days when he used to be a rising star in the


    business arena.


    However, no one had news about Levi after he went to jail.
