Steve Burton faced the many people attending the banquet with ease and composure.

A warm, courteous smile always graced his face.

That smile was perfectly measured, neither too intimate nor too arrogant.

However, despite this, it still seemed to keep people at a distance.

This was Steve’s outstanding trait.

No matter how friendly he seemed or how polite his words, no matter whether he was standing right in front of you, he could give you a sense of distance, making it impossible to fathom what he was thinking.

Madeleine took two glasses of alcohol from a servant and handed one to Ruby Gregory before joining the crowd, their arms linked.

There were quite a few beautifully dressed young ladies standing around Steve.

They eagerly wanted to engage, but still maintained a reserved demeanor.

No matter how stunning these young ladies were, Steve’s face always maintained a light, official smile.

Madeleine finally squeezed her way to the front, raised her pretty head, and called out, “Brother.”

Then she raised her glass to Steve.

Steve’s expression did not change, but his gaze softened slightly when looking at Madeleine.

They clinked glasses and drank, and Madeleine handed Steve a gift she had prepared earlier, saying, “Happy birthday, Brother!”

“Thank you.” Steve took the gift, but didn’t hand it to Rusell Henris, instead giving it to Edward Woods.

For those who were not particularly important to him, Steve would hand the gift to Rusell Henris, and it would go straight into storage without being opened.

As for the gifts he handed to Edward Woods, Steve would open and keep them.

Thus, to determine whether someone was important to Steve, one only needed to see which of these two he handed their gift to.

From the moment Ruby stood near Steve, she had been paying attention to this detail and noticed that almost all the young ladies’ gifts were handed to Rusell Henris.

After offering her blessings and giving her gift, Madeleine stepped aside, grabbed Ruby’s hand, and pulled her right in front of Steve.

As Ruby was about to raise her glass and offer her blessings to Steve, someone suddenly spoke up from the side..
