The reportersined about Zoe and Bethany, who were on the


    red carpet.


    “I would have just let it go, but they came outter than Ada. They think too highly of themselves to be


    fashionablyte.”


    “I didn’t take a single photo. I don’t want to waste my storage space.


    on the worthless.”


    “Bethany is the heiress of Salvador Corporation. I heard Zoe is the


    sister of Ryan Hoffman, the ‘Prince of Savrow’. These women aren’t


    famous, but they’re made of money. I bet they bought their order of


    appearance.”


    Thinking they had gotten their 15 minutes of fame, Bethany and Zoe


    happily walked into the venue.


    Once there, they realized that the press either interviewed big stars. like Ada or fashion designers. No


    one asked about them.


    “Damn it! Are these reporters blind?”


    Getting the snub, Bethany stamped her foot in rage. “How dare they ignore us! They must be blind.


    They won’t be able to work in this cityThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    again if they cross me.”


    “Those reporters are snobs. They will circle you like sharks if you’re famous, capable, and influential.”


    Furious, Zoe took it out on Bethany by putting her down.


    “Yeah. My mom won’t let me interact with the media, and it’s not al social circle I hang out in. She said


    it’s beneath wealthy people to


    associate with the lower ss.”


    Bethany might be working together with Zoe for her own purpose, but she was not going to let Zoe


    push her around.


    Pulling a harmless look, she mocked, “But Zoe, you’re a socialite and the apprentice of a top pianist. I


    can’t believe no one came to interview you. That’s just rude. I’m angry for your sake. Why don’t I pull a


    few reporters over to interview you, so it won’t look


    embarrassing?”


    “Ha! That isn’t necessary. I prefer to keep a low profile. I don’t like to be surrounded by reporters like a


    monkey in a zoo.” Zoe scoffed.


    The frenemies rolled their eyes and turned away from each other.


    A flurry of footsteps came behind them.


    “Look! It’s Ms. Thompson!”


    “Wow! I didn’t see her on the red carpet, so I didn’t expect her to be


    here. She’s so elusive!”


    “The Thompson heiress is discreet. She’s sessful at manag hotel and winning Ada Wang over.


    She’s beautiful and capable!


    unlike most heiresses, who only spend money and hang around r


    carpets.”


    Even though the press did not name anyone in particr, Bethany and


    Zoe felt their cheeks burning.


    The press swarmed toward Be.


    Among them, two reporters did not look where they were going and bumped into Bethany and Zoe.


    They staggered, nearly falling to their


    feet.


    “Hey! Are you blind?” Bethany shouted angrily once she stopped


    herself from falling.


    Zoe shook in rage. Herplexion was flushed as the press crowded.


    over to Be.


    “Ms. Thompson, you have won the contract to organize Ada Wang’s wedding, defeating the Salvador


    Corporation. What are your


    thoughts?” A reporter asked loudly.


    “It’s an honor to work with Ada. I am grateful for her trust in the KS World Hotel. I want to make it clear


    that KS Group and the Salvador Corporation werepeting for the same opportunity, but that doesn’t


    mean the Salvador Corporation is any less because we won the contract. The Salvador Hotel has a


    longer history in Savrow than


    the KS World Hotel, setting the standards in the industry. I hope you


    don’t hold the oue against the Salvador Hotel. It doesn’t change. KS Group’s business rtionship


    with the Salvador Corporation.”


    Even though Be had won a major victory, she knew when to be humble. She would never gloat,


    make enemies, or belittle the Salvador Corporation because it would be an ugly look on her.


    “Oh, my! Ms. Thompson is so charismatic. I’m falling for her.”


    “Yeah. She’s humble even when she has won. She’s so nice. I found


    her underhanded before for swooping in on the project, but I don’t


    think so now.”


    The crowd exprèssed their praise for Be.


    Zoe’s eyes were bloodshot with resentment, and her clenched fists


    trembled.


    She noticed that Be wore a pair of golden rose earrings embedded with red gemstones. She


    matched the earrings with a red gemstone.


    ne.


    It was the red beryl, the most valuable gemstone of its kind.


    Bethany stared at the huge red beryl hanging around Be’s neck and took a huge gulp enviously.


    Zoe was jealous too, but she quickly noticed something.


    As she narrowed her eyes, a n came to mind.
