“What now?” Be felt frustrated and had no intention of showing this despicable man any kindness.


    “Tomorrow, can I attend Aunt Celeste’s birthday banquet?” Justin asked cautiously,cking any


    confidence. But at the same time, he was filled with anticipation. He was hopeful to see her again.


    Be snorted, pursing her lips. “Mr. Salvador, Aunt Celeste’s birthday banquet will be attended by


    members of the Thompson family. Won’t you feel embarrassed to face them?”


    “Alright, I understand. But as the saying goes, an ugly son-inw must still meet his inws.” Justin’s


    tone was unusually earnest.


    “What is wrong with you, Justin?” Be pounded the window again. She imagined it as if it were his


    head.


    “Is it okay, Be?” He persisted.


    Be recalled the night when Gregory beat Justin mercilessly because of this, leaving Justin’s back


    covered in bruises.


    She reluctantly said, “Fine, but remember to bring a gift.”


    Justin’s joy was evident in his clear and bright voice. “Of course! How


    can I go empty-handed when meeting the parents?”


    Be gritted her teeth and growled, “Fuck off!”

    The weekend arrived, and the birthday banquet for the two affluent wives was approaching.


    The night before, Shannon was so excited that she could not fall asleep. She envisioned herself


    outshining everyone at the banquet, radiating beauty and charm. Lost in her thoughts, she chuckled


    softly.


    She had also instructed someone to edit videos of her previous acting career and retouch many


    morous photos from her debut on


    the TS Gem Channel. She nned to y them on a loop at the birthday banquet, captivating the


    attention of all the guests.


    As a result, the next day, Shannon’splexion was pale, with


    bloodshot eyes and massive dark circles.


    Without makeup, she resembled a vengeful ghost from an old horror


    movie!


    After all, she was nearing 50 and could not escape the signs of aging.


    In the past, even after filming for three days and nights, her skin.


    remained fair and radiant. Now, a single night without sleep was


    taking its toll on her aging face.


    “Someone! Hurry, call my beautician toe over for a makeover! Quickly!” Shannon was in a frantic


    state, pacing around her room.


    She behaved like a manic person and smashed an expensive cup in a fit of rage. However, Gregory did


    not witness this arrogant and


    irritable outburst.


    The servant waiting outside was scared and quickly ran off to fetch


    the beautician.


    Shannon looked at herself in the mirror, a simmering rage building


    inside her.


    Today, she and Celeste were celebrating their birthdays on the same. day, like rivals in apetition.


    Shannon had not seen Celeste for many years. She considered


    herself the legitimate wife of Gregory, but despite her status being far

    superior to Celeste’s status as Wyatt’s mistress, she could not shake


    off her anxiety.


    In the past, Celeste was the leading actress on the TS Gem Channel,


    the fantasy of men nationwide.


    Shannon couldn’t help but feel anxious because she was afraid of


    being overshadowed by Celeste!


    “Mom! Mom!” Bethany rushed in hastily. However, seeing Shannon in


    this ghostly state, Bethany was left momentarily stunned.


    “What’s the matter? Why are you acting like you’ve seen a ghost?”


    Shannon snapped impatiently.


    “I just called Grandpa again and confirmed with him. He said he wouldn’t be attending your birthday


    banquet tonight.”


    “What’s so surprising about that? I never expected that old man to show up from the beginning.


    Whether hees or not, it does not


    matter. I’d rather not have him bring his old-fashioned gloominess


    here!” Shannon sneered coldly, making no effort to hide her disdain for Nigel in front of her daughter.
