Putting her hand over her bruised arm, Bethany could not wait to get away from Shannon’s lecture.


    Growing up, Bethany benefited from her mother’s influence over her father, which opened doors for her


    future. However, despite her mother’s role in her easy life, Bethany secretly looked down on her for her


    lack of sophistication and culture.


    Shannon was vulgar inparison to socialites like Zoe’s mother and M Larson. It was not as if


    Bethany could choose her parents anyway.


    The event was split into two segments-the banquet and the auction.


    The venue was packed with A-list celebrities and renowned artists, as if every star in the industry had


    graced the event with their presence.


    As the general manager of the hotel and organizer of the charity event, Be was stopped by the press


    for live interviews.


    She carried herself with poise in front of the cameras.


    A journalist asked, “Ms. Thompson, Ada Wang has chosen the Salvador Hotel for her wedding venue.


    Now that you are hosting at charity auction for Mint magazine, are you trying to level the ying. field


    with Salvador Corporation?”


    “I understand why you would think so since we have beenpeting with Salvador Corporation.”


    Be added with a faint smile, “But Mint magazine contacted us. about the event, so the timing is just


    by some strange chance. There’s nothing sinister behind the event.”


    “It has been reported that Ada selected the KS World Hotel to have her wedding. Why did she change


    her mind and pick the Salvador


    Hotel instead? Did something happen in between?”


    Be responded, “As the information is confidential and proprietary to the hotel, I’m afraid I’m not at


    liberty to share that.”


    The same journalist inquired, “She dropped out of the deal with you and opted for Salvador Corporation


    after the leak of her wedding ns. Is that the reason that contributed to the change of heart?”


    Be remained unfazed, but her eyes turned chilly.


    The journalist was likely here to stir trouble.


    In a corner, Zoe sipped on champagne and smiled wickedly as Be faced a barrage of questions from


    the relentless press.


    She nted the nosy journalist who could not take a hint.


    Despite the minimal impact on Be’s career, Zoe hoped to bait Be into controversial responses and


    draw criticism toward her.


    Shannon and Bethany drew close.


    Reigning victorious, Bethany was no longer intimidated by Be. In fact, she became cocky..

    “You’re right. That was the case.” Be’s smile faded, and her expression turned solemn.


    The crowd went wild.


    Zoe furrowed her brows. It never urred to her that Be would answer the question honestly without


    dodging and shutting the journalist up with a random excuse.


    That was one thing Zoe had not prepared for.


    “Stop putting Ms. Thompson on the spot. She’s been swamped with work after the breach of contract.”


    Lifting her chin, Bethany said with an arrogant smile, “But don’t feel discouraged, Ms. Thompson. You


    can do better next time. The incident with your hotel serves as a cautionary tale for the Salvador


    Corporation. We won’t make the same mistake as you. We aremitted to maintaining the strictest


    confidentiality of all customer information.”
