Liana exerted herself for her birthday party. She was no longer her previous sickly self and mustered all


    her energy to n the event.


    She called up event venues and made arrangements for the dress and makeup. One would have


    thought she was getting ready for an engagement party.


    Jasper was not involved in the preparation in any way. Knowing that she was doing much better, he


    stopped visiting her at the hospital.


    Liana was obviously upset at his indifference. Still, the birthday party remained her top priority at the


    moment.


    The night before the birthday party, Liana tried on the evening dress she had borrowed from Rose after


    much persuasion.


    She could not keep the dress from slipping down because the dress had a wider bust. The two maids


    were sweating with worry, but they fàiled to keep the dress in ce.


    “Clumsy losers!Why did we even keep youaround the house?” Liana gave the maids a shove in the


    heat of the moment. Her face was flushed.


    “Why don’t we … get a tailor to alter thedress? We can also use a few pins to keep the dress in ce,”


    one of the maids suggested tentatively.


    Liana started sweating from the irritation. She refused to admit that she was worried about the


    compensation.


    She had signed an agreement to borrow the dress, which was worth six figures. If the dress got dirtied,


    torn, or altered in any way, she would have to pay Rose five times the price of the dress.


    Putting aside the astronomical amount, she was reluctant to give Rose Emerson a


    single cent because that woman was cozy with Alyssa.


    “Get me some ta pe right now!”


    Soon, the maids hurried back with tape. They stered the tape in the inner bust area before putting


    the dress on Liana. The dress was finally secured.


    “Ms. Gardner, you’re clever! This is ahandy trick!” The maids praised her to the skies. She let out a long


    si gh with a smug look.


    Right then, they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Rosaline showed up in a great hurry with a


    tense expression.


    “Mom!”Liana’s heart almost stopped atthe sight. She quickly ordered the maids,”Get going now.”


    After the maids scurried out of the room, Rosaline swiftly locked the door from within.


    “Mom, how did it go?”Liana went up to


    Rosaline urgently, holding the hem of her dress.


    “It’s settled.” Rosaline sped herdaughter’s hand in her palms.


    “You’ve been through a lot of trouble.”Liana grabbed Rosaline’s hands tightly with a serious look.”I will


    never forget your huge favor. I will pay you back sometime.”


    “Sweet child, what are you talking about?You’re my flesh and blood. Of course I will side with you!”


    Looking pale but unrelenting, Rosaline replied, “Now that you are back together with Jasper and


    received Javier’s support, you are a step away from marriage.


    “You can’t give up at this point. I will notallow anyone or anything to stand in the way of your marriage


    with Jasper Beckett!”

    The next day, Liana’s long-awaited birthday party kicked off as the night fell.


    The Gardners hosted the guests at thergest ballroom in Berenike Hotel to show off their close


    rtionship with the Becketts.


    On top of that, Sophia had invited VIPs from Sna City and across the nation to attend the party on


    behalf of Javier. She poured so much effort into the birthday party as though it was her second


    wedding.


    Meanwhile, the opulent ballroom was filled with melodious music and the rustles of the luxurious outfits


    of the guests. The wealthy VIPs in Sna City had attended the event for Javier.


    Although Sophia had been called in for an investigation by the prosecution, she was proven innocent


    after Henry Kirkman was revealed to be the culprit.


    As a result, she sprang back to life and dressed up to attend the event hand-in-hand with Javier,


    chatting merrily with the guests as though nothing had


    happened.


    “Mr. Javier, Madam Sophia,congrattions to you!”


    “It’s my niece’s birthday. You shouldcongratte her.” Sophia was decked in jewelry and appeared to


    be in a good mood.


    “Ms. Gardner is Mr. Beckett’s fiancée,isn’t she? I believe we’ll hear some good news from them pretty


    soon. That’s why I am congratting you on the new addition to the Beckett family!””Hahaha!Thank


    you!”
