The fake Alexa jewelry ne Bethany acquired from Zoe worked wonders.
Bethany braced herself, apprehensive about being discovered when presenting the ne to Ada as
a gift.
Nevertheless, Bethany had figured out a backup n if she were discovered. She could save her ass
by saying that she was scammed by a friend because of her limited knowledge of jewelry.
Alexa’s apprentice must have fine-tuned his craftsmanship because Ada did not suspect that the
ne was a copy. Ada happily wore the ne right away, reluctant to take it off.
In the end, Ada signed the contract with Bethany.
That was not the only thing. With Shannon putting in the good word about Bethany, Gregory finally
pulled her to the core of the business and promoted her to higher management. She could join the
meeting with the senior executives atst.
That night, Shannon and Bethany enjoyed a celebratory drink on the balcony.
“Your dad will hand over the management of the hotel to you after Ada’s wedding. Make an impactful
first impression, my dear. In time, you will be on the board of directors, and that’s when you and I will
get rid of Justin.”
Shannon held her daughter, her eyes sparkling as if bearing glimmering hope. “I can’t count on your
sister, but my future is in your Granter 19 hands.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. Once I make it to the top, I will seize control from Justin. The Salvador Group will
be ours.”
Beaming with pride, Bethany clinked sses with Shannon.
The butler’s voice came from the door.
“Madam Shannon, Ms. Bethany, we have received an invitation.”
The mother and daughter exchanged nces before walking out of the balcony.
Bethany asked, “Who is the invitation from?”
“A Mr. Lovett, the secretary of KS World Hotel’s general manager.”
KS World Hotel? Was the invitation from Be?
“Got it. You’re dismissed.” Shannon took the invitation card and closed the door.

She opened the envelope and pulled out two invites to a charity. jewelry auction.
Shannon pursed her lips, her expression obscure.
“Mom, we haven’t heard anything from Be in a while. Why did she drop these invites out of the blue?
Can it be a trap?” Bethany asked worriedly.
“Ha. We have nothing to be afraid of. Ada has signed the contract. with you, and there’s nothing she
can do about it.”
Coincidentally, the TV broadcasted the evening news, and one of the headlines was about the charity
jewelry auction.
“The organizer of the event is Mint, Mom!”
Bethany eximed, with her finger pointing at the TV. “That’s the iconic fashion magazine. It’s the
dream of many celebrities to grace. the cover of the magazine. I can’t believe Be is co-organizing the
charity with Mint. That’s unexpected. It’s said on the news that Ada is among the celebrities to attend.”
Bethany assumed that KS World would hit rock bottom after losing Ada, but Be managed to secure a
partnership with Mint. She got her hands on everything.
Jealousy drove Bethany to clench her fist, digging her nails into her palms.
“Hmph. She might be hosting a huge event, but she lost. It’s just. damage control now.”
Shannon gritted her teeth. “We will appear udylike if we decline the invitation. Nothing is stopping
me from going. She doesn’t scare me.
“We can also keep an eye on her, in case she tries something with Ada and ruins things for us.”
Be enjoyed a nice chat with the editor-in-chief of Mint magazine.
She carried on the conversation in a foreignnguage with ease.
She changed into tight athletic wear to go kayaking at the back of the vi when Asher dropped by for a
visit.
“Ash!”
Be rushed downstairs excitedly and jumped into Asher’s arms.
The sturdy man wrapped his arms around her. Be’s fitted outfit hugged her curves, her voluptuous
form pressing close to his. There was something sensual about her.
