Chapter 1500 They Were Too Different

• Even Cooper himself was beginning to acknowledge that he no longer stood a chance against Bailey by now, say less of anybody else. He was getting older, so it was time to hand things over to the next generation. Now, Bailey was the young, determined, and ambitious one, whereas Cooper had aged, so he was no longer the former’s opponent. Therefore, he could only watch as Bailey dated his granddaughter.
• After the military training, Carmen’s eighteenth birthday was approaching fast, which would mark the beginning of her adulthood. Sophia was extremely busy with preparing the Bayside City ladies’ ball, which was intentionally held during Carmen’s birthday.
• The ball held this year was of an unprecedented scale, and the venue was far more lavish than the previous ones. All costs were borne by the Michels, Yards and Mitchells, so it was within reason that Carmen should be the center of attention. It was a silent agreement among all the attendees that the other ladies would be required to take the backseat. Since the hosts were the ones to bear all the costs, nobody complained about the arrangement. Moreover, they were even hoping to get an invitation to the ball, as being invited as a guest was in itself a great honor.
