The Graham Heir—I Am Not An Adopted Nobody

Chapter 13: Mystery of the Missing Graham

The city was vibrant and alive at night. A massive skyscraper glowed against the night sky, its glass walls reflecting neon signs and spotlights.

Outside, red carpets led to the doors, lined with photographers and security guards. The air was full of excitement and people chatting, wondering what would happen next.

Inside the lobby, the floors were polished marble, and the air smelled like expensive perfume and champagne. 

Incredible luxury cars were parked like trophies under bright lights. 

A Pagani Huayra Roadster caught the eye first with its slick curves. Beside it, a Bugatti Chiron Sport sparkled under the glow of the overhead lights and a Koenigsegg Jesko sat beside it.

The line of hypercars continued. A Ferrari 812 Superfast, a LaFerrari in red, a Lamborghini Reventón, one of twenty in the world, and a McLaren Senna GTR.

Cameras flashed non stop as people took photos of the luxury cars.

Rich guests arrived one after another. Men wore tuxedos and suits worth as much as entire companies annual revenues, while women wore a variety of shimmering gowns, each adorned with sparkling diamonds. 

Everyone was laughing and talking quietly about the cars, the event and the massive display of wealth.

Suddenly, a very loud car engine roared outside. An Aston Martin Valkyrie pulled up to the entrance. Its doors opened upward like wings, and the crowd moved back to watch. 

Reporters ran forward as Morris Emmett stepped out of the car.

"Sir, what does tonight mean for your family?" a reporter shouted.

Morris looked at the crowd calmly. He touched the car and handed the keys to the valet. "It’s a whole new game for the Emmetts." he said firmly. "From now on, we will be more than successful. Remember that."

Cameras flashed everywhere as Morris walked through the crowd. He was confident and powerful, nodding to people he knew as he headed inside. The valet drove the loud car away, and Morris entered the grand hall. 

It was a beautiful room with massive crystal chandeliers, tables set with silver, and flowers everywhere. Soft music played in the background.

On the stage, the announcer spoke into the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Morris Emmett!" The room was filled with applause and cheers. Morris smiled and nodded, watching the crowd carefully.

In the back of the room, Malcolm leaned against a railing. He was with three women, Julie, Tracy, and Silver. 

They were the ones who had seen the big showdown between Robert and Mr. Azeez, and Malcolm had gotten his ass kicked. 

They were drinking champagne and looking around the room nervously.

"Where is he?" Malcolm muttered. He was looking for the VIP representative of the Graham family. 

Everyone knew the Grahams were one of the most powerful families in the world, and their arrival was the big mystery of the night.

"I thought they would be here by now." Julie whispered, holding her glass tightly.

"Who do you think is representing the Grahams tonight?" Tracy asked. They were all curious and a little bit worried.

Malcolm’s jaw tightened. “I can't say, but they’ll make their presence known when it matters.”

Tracy sipped her champagne nervously. “Do you think it will be…?”

“Don’t even start." Malcolm said sharply, his eyes never leaving the main entrance.

On the stage, the announcer kept talking about how great the Emmett family was, and the crowd cheered again. 

But Malcolm didn't care about Morris. He kept watching the doors, the elevators, and the stairs. He knew that when the Grahams arrived, everything would change.

And a part of him hoped it wouldn't be the one he had an encounter with. Robert.

The room was full of rich food, expensive drinks, and powerful people, but everyone was secretly waiting for the same thing. 

The mystery of the missing Graham representative felt like a shadow over the party. For now, there was nothing to do but wait.

Morris stood in the spotlight, smiling for the cameras. But in the back, Malcolm and the ladies kept searching the crowd with their eyes. 

They were waiting for a person who would start a new challenge. 

They didn't know it yet, but when that person finally arrived, it would change their world forever.
