Chapter 54 The Hypocritical Master Sullivan
Lilly touched her braided pigtails and pouted angrily.
Lilly knew Anthony had put much effort into tying her hair up prettily.
Cheryl’s insult to her hairstyle was equivalent to insulting her uncle Anthony!
“Your hair’s messier!” Lilly angrily refuted.
Cheryl felt satisfied after seeing Lilly getting flustered, but little did she know that Lilly’s hair was done by Anthony.
In Cheryl’s eyes, Lilly’s unkempt hair could only be done by herself instead of an adult.
Cheryl replied, “It’s true! Who did your hair? Come on down. I’ll help you out!”
Tina smiled and added, “Your hair is messy, Lilly! Why don’t you let us redo your hairstyle into a prettier one?”
Thomas chuckled along.
Kids were no big deal; they simply wanted to seize this opportunity to appease the Crawford family.
However, their smiles froze immediately when they heard Anthony say, “I was the one who did Lilly’s hair.”
Anthony Crawford styling a child’s hair…? Impossible!
Tina hurriedly said, “Oh… I’m sorry, we didn’t mean that… Cheryl was just used to helping out other kids, so…”
Anthony ignored her as he walked into the venue with Lilly.
Once they arrived at the venue, Anthony asked, “Who invited the Miller family?”
He clearly remembered that the Miller family was excluded from the guest list!
Panicked, the staff responded, “Only those invited can enter… Let me check with them…”
Anthony coldly replied, “Just kick them out.”
The staff nodded. “Yes, sir…”
The moment the Miller family walked into the venue, they were halted by the staff members.
“May I see your invitation card?”
Thomas took out the Shaw family’s invitation card and explained, “We are here on behalf of Mr. Shaw as instructed by Old Mrs. Shaw.”
The Miller family was being haughty even though they secretly picked the invitation up after Old Mrs. Shaw was sent back to her hometown.
The staff was taken aback as the invitation turned out to be valid…
While the staff was distracted, Thomas quickly brought Tina and Cheryl into the venue!
Since they had already arrived, they might as well have joined the event!

Meanwhile, backstage, a staff member was guiding a practitioner and his disciple into the event.
“Master Sullivan, thank you for joining us today! Please follow me!”
Master Sullivan nodded as he looked around the venue. “Impressive. The venue is decorated beautifully and faces the rising sun’s direction, and indeed an auspicious location.”
The staff laughed along. “It’s all thanks to your guidance, Master Sullivan.”
Sable added, “My master also has prepared a great deal for the ceremony.”
The staff chuckled after the comment.
Master Sullivan looked around one last time before saying, “Everything looks fine to me, but move the ceremonial ball to the east to correspond to today’s lucky time. Remember to also get a new pair of scissors for the ceremony. Bring a red string, a piece of yellow paper, and some incense candles.”
The staff immediately rushed to prepare, in which Master Sullivan was delighted to see his enthusiastic response.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was really simple to the point where Master Sullivan could relax. Nothing could go wrong under his guidance.
As Anthony carried Lilly into the venue, she saw the giant ceremonial ball move slightly to the side.
Lilly exclaimed, “Uncle Anthony, why are they moving the ball? I feel weird looking at it now!”
Anthony glanced at the stage. Indeed, the stage looked asymmetrical after the ceremonial ball was moved.
Anthony muttered to his assistant, “Tell them to rearrange the ball to the center.”
The assistant then hurriedly headed toward the stage.
Pablo was floating at the side while rubbing his chin.
Well, I’ll be damned. She can even tell something’s wrong!
He pointed at the ceremonial ball. “Listen here, Tulip. I’m going to teach you something with that as an example…”
Pablo then kept rambling, only to realize Lilly was staring at a cake far away, unaware she had listened to anything he said.
Anthony asked softly, “What do you want to eat?”
The listing ceremony of Taylor’s Entertainment was grandiose, attracting celebrities and distinguished figures.
The main stage for the ribbon-cutting ceremony lay in the center of the venue, with seating for guests in front of the stage.
The resting areas were on either side of the main stage, where tea and snacks were provided.
Lilly was about to respond when she suddenly noticed a woman with pale-white skin in a distant corner, her eyes fixed onto something as she floated away…
Lilly stared backstage as she asked, “Master, what is that?”
Pablo squinted his eyes and whispered, “A malignant spirit?”
The crying ghost that barged into Hannah’s room ran away and was never found.
Who would have expected a malignant spirit to appear before they were able to capture the crying ghost?
Pablo motioned to Lilly. “Come on, Tulip. Let’s go have a look.”

Backstage, Sable pulled a chair and eagerly said, “Please have a seat, Master!”
He looked around the bustling venue, and there were only two people to receive them.
Sable complained, “How ridiculous! They didn’t even prepare a VIP room for Master!”
Master Sullivan sat down calmly and said, “It’s alright. We came here purely by coincidence, and remember, we do not pursue fame or money. We should remain calm and peaceful as we wander the busy world.”
Sable’s face reddened as he replied, “You’re right, Master!”
As if they were not the ones who took Old Mrs. Shaw’s bank card…
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo nearby hesitantly looked at them.
He walked toward them and asked, “Are you Master Sullivan?”
Master Sullivan simply nodded to the question.
Sable asked, “What brings you to see my master?”
The middle-aged man exclaimed happily, “It really is you! A pleasure to meet you. I’m Francis Evans! I heard that Taylor’s Entertainment has invited the renowned Master Sullivan to the ceremony, but I never thought it’d be true! It really is an honor to meet you, Master Sullivan!”
On the other hand, after Cheryl and her family forced their way into the venue, they walked around to exchange name cards with society’s elite members attending the event, but only a few cared about them…
Feeling awkward, they saw Francis excitedly asking a practitioner whether he was Master Sullivan.
Thomas was pleasantly surprised and quickly dragged Tina. “Over there! It’s Master Sullivan!”
Tina asked, “Master Sullivan? The practitioner that brought Young Master Shaw back from the dead?”
They also heard rumors about an old CEO who was on the brink of bankruptcy visiting Master Sullivan and managed to save his company, and his business had been booming since then.
Besides that, there was a story of how Master Sullivan revived an old lady with a heart attack.
One could quickly get what they wished for with Master Sullivan, and it would take a huge feat to get an audience with him either…
Thomas had been trying to find him multiple times, and he had not seen him before.
They tried to control their excitement as they quickly rushed forward.
Their opportunity had arrived!
