•Chapter 35•

The Kim spared no expense in hosting a grand and luxurious party to celebrate their company's anniversary. The event was nothing short of a lavish affair, held at an opulent venue that was adorned with elegant decorations and sparkling chandeliers.

Guests from various social circles and industries were in attendance, dressed in their finest attire. The atmosphere was filled with an air of sophistication and celebration. A live band played melodious tunes, adding to the ambiance of the evening.

Mr Lee opened the car's doors, and the Kim family gracefully stepped out. A throng of reporters clamored to capture their arrival, but the vigilant guards swiftly guided the Kims into the venue, shielding them from the flashing cameras. As they made their entrance, Y/n couldn't help but feel like she had walked into a fairytale.

Inside the room, the attendees were dressed in resplendent ball gowns and tuxedos, adding to the atmosphere of opulence. The chatter and laughter of the guests came to a hush as all eyes turned toward the Kim family.

Jong-suk and Hye-joo walked hand in hand, radiating an aura of unity and love, while the Kim brothers beamed proudly at their sister. Y/n was escorted by Hoseok and Namjoon as they proceeded towards the stage.

Taking hold of the microphone, Jong-suk addressed the gathered guests with warmth and gratitude. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are truly thankful for your presence here tonight on this joyous occasion. It has been nearly half a century since the inception of the Kim Corporation, and we are deeply appreciative of the hard work and dedication of every member of our staff, regardless of their role within our organization. Each and every one of you plays an integral part in our success."

The room was filled with a sense of shared accomplishment, and Jong-suk's words resonated with everyone present, emphasizing the importance of unity and teamwork within the Kim Corporation.

"And I'm sure many of you must be wondering about these two beautiful ladies standing beside me and my sons," Jong-suk continued, a warm smile gracing his face. "Allow me to officially introduce you all to my beloved daughter and my wonderful wife. Perhaps you've already seen them or heard some rumors circulating after our recent airport pictures."

The guests responded with enthusiastic applause, showing their appreciation for Jong-suk's words.

"Now, without further ado, let me introduce my stunning wife, Kim Hye-Joo, and my charming daughter, Kim Y/n," Jong-suk announced proudly.

While Hye-joo was visible as she stood beside her husband, Y/n had been somewhat concealed. Observing the guests' reactions, Hoseok gently urged his sister forward with a warm smile, encouraging her to step into the spotlight.

The applause swelled even louder as Y/n emerged, her smile radiating a shy yet endearing charm. Many in the audience were captivated by her presence, and some couldn't help but express their admiration openly.

Jin, walking beside his sister, couldn't resist teasing her. "What do you think about the party, princess?"

Y/n chuckled softly. "I'm just wondering if the food is going to be yummy or not."

Jin laughed heartily, giving his sister a playful pat on the back. "That's my sister," he remarked proudly as they continued walking, looking forward to rejoining Jong-suk and Hye-joo at the center of the celebration.

The dining tables were adorned with exquisite floral arrangements, and the menu featured gourmet dishes from around the world. The champagne flowed freely, and the dessert table was a masterpiece of culinary artistry.

As the evening progressed, heartfelt toasts were made to honor the company employees. The dance floor became a focal point as guests swayed to the rhythm of the music, celebrating the joyous occasion.
