Chapter 41
Athary is a country that has several small cities, medium-sized cities, and large cities. Frin just happens to be a medium-sized city with a population of around 300,000 people and counting.
The city where Diamond went to college, Srad, a city she doesn't really like much because of some sad memories there, was slightly bigger and much better than Frin.
If one were to choose between staying in Frin and Srad, the best option would be Srad, as there were many options there. However, there was also a risk of not achieving their dreams there, as there were too many people living there.
So, just like any other developed city, Frin had its own influential families and families that have supported the city for decades or centuries.
These were families that were involved in industries like transport, hotel and catering, banking and consulting services, N.G.O's, health care, and so on. And there were currently six big families in Frin that keep the city firm and proud.
Where Diamond was going was not one of those six families, but a family that was ranked in the top twenty and, to be exact, number thirteen.
The protagonist of the birthday banquet on this day was turning forty years old and, unlike Cecilia, who was a housewife. The lady ran her own beauty salon that was frequented by the rich and noble.
Saloons are always the best places for ladies to catch up, gossip, and pave the way for their kids or family members.
The lady was named Anna Hipkins, a mother of three beautiful kids and the wife of a real estate mogul.
