At exactly 7:00 p.m., the KS World Hotel was bustling and


    extraordinarily lively.


    It was a world of differencepared to the quietness on Shannon’s


    side.


    Outside the hotel, luxury cars abound.


    The guests were all from wealthy families or dignitaries. Each one of them was well-dressed and


    adorned with exquisite jewelry. They were all wealthy men and women with a worth of billions of


    dors.


    At Celeste’s request, Wyatt held the birthday party in a very low-key


    manner.


    Despite that, the prestige of the Thompson family was on full disy.


    They had a growing interest in expanding their business to Savrow. With that in mind, who in the


    business world would not reach out to Wyatt Thompson? Besides, this tycoon also had an eligible


    daughter who had been shining brightly recently.


    M and Sasha chose not to make an appearance downstairs to


    avoid overshadowing Celeste tonight.


    Instead, they entertained their long-time friends upstairs.


    They did not feel neglected, but were rather secretly pleased to have this rare moment of rxation.


    As Celeste’s only daughter, Amelia naturally could not be idle and


    helped her sister, Be, greet the guests outside the venue.


    Amelia wore a pale yellow chiffon evening gown, personally selected by Be.


    Her slender, fair legs were subtly revealed under the pale yellow skirt. She looked like the female lead


    in a romance novel.


    Amelia was grateful to her sister, knowing the amount of effort put into dressing her up.


    However, she still felt that she could not match up to Be.


    Be wore a simple and elegant ck floor-length evening dress that modestly revealed her shoulders.


    Despite not putting in much effort, Be looked stunning in her tastefully chosen dress.

    Amelia stole a nce at Be and found herself captivated. Amelia found her sister far more


    enchanting.


    “Amelia? Is there something on my face?” Be blinked her almond- shaped eyes, looking at her dazed


    younger sister.


    “No… Nothing.” Amelia blushed inexplicably.


    “Then, are you tired? The birthday banquet is still a while away. I’ll get you a room upstairs, and you


    can rest first.”


    “No need, Be. I’m not tired.” Amelia quickly shook her head.


    “Ms. Be, the Iversons are here.” Steven, who had been handling the guests outside, hurriedly came


    in. Sweat beaded on his forehead.


    Seeing this, Amelia quickly took out a handkerchief from her evening bag.


    She pursed her lips in hesitation and held the handkerchief tightly in her hands. She did not dare step


    forward to give it to him.


    “Steve, look at how busy you are. You’re sweating so much!” Be pursed her lips thoughtfully.


    Her slender, jade-like hand sped Amelia’s slender waist and


    pushed her forward. “Amelia, you have a handkerchief here. Go ahead and wipe Steve’s sweat.”


    Both Steven and Amelia were taken aback, and both their cheeks


    were flushed with a hint of embarrassment.


    Twisting the handkerchief in her hand, Amelia awkwardly shuffled


    over to Steven.


    Summoning her courage, Amelia raised her hand and was about to wipe the sweat off for him.


    However, Steven snatched the handkerchief away and hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead. His


    heart was racing as he said, “No need, Ms. Amelia. Thank you.”


    “It’s nothing.” Amelia bit her pink lips and felt waves of disappointment in her heart.


    “Sorry for soiling your handkerchief. I’ll buy you a new er.” Steve said, embarrassed, as he


    tucked her handkerchief away.


    “No need. You can keep it as a gift.” Amelia dryly quipped.


    Watching their interaction, Be became increasingly sure that something was going on between the


    two of them.


    At this moment, the Iversons made their entrance to the venue, looking noble.


    Of Lance Iverson’s four children, three of them promised they woulde. The only exception was


    Lance’s daughter, Astrid, who was overseas and had not returned. But there was no sign of


    Christopher.


    James Iverson walked in with his wife, Coral, and was followed


    closely by Charles Iverson.


    Seeing James, Be’s beautiful eyes could not help but cloud over with gloom.


    “Be, long time, no see.” Charles’s eyes lit up when he saw Be. Unlike his usually proud demeanor,


    he showed abnormal enthusiasm toward the youngdy.


    Be smiled politely and said, “We met thest time you came to our house. It’s not been long since we


    She could see that Charles was very attentive to her. This was eptable. After all, who would not like


    such a perfect woman? But she could not stand the fact that her equally noble sister, Amelia, was


    being ignored and treated as if she were invisible.


    Charles was momentarily embarrassed because he did not recognize Amelia.


    “Hello, Mr. Charles.” Amelia did not take it to heart, smiling gently.


    James’s face remained expressionless. He nced lightly at Amelia and Steven and smiled faintly.


    “Charles, you are too straightforward. You usually handle things very thoroughly. But as soon as you


    see


    Chap 643


    Ms. Be, you only have eyes for her. That’s quite rude. Why don’t you quickly apologize to Ms.


    Amelia?”


    “It was my mistake. Haha. I’m sorry, Ms. Amelia.” Charles bowed to Amelia in apology.


    Amelia smiled faintly, feeling a bit embarrassed.


    “Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the venue. Steve, please lead our


    guests inside.” Be instructed with a smile.


    “Yes, Ms. Be.”


    A short while after the Iversons left, Steven hurried back to Be’s


    side and whispered, “Ms. Be, may have a word with you?”


    Be and Steven went to a quiet corridor.


    “Ms. Be, James’ mistress, who bullied Ms. Amelia, came to the banquet. She even has an invitation


    and is already inside the venue!” Steven’s brows were furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, “Should


    I send someone to kick her out now?”


    “Kick her out? Why bother? She has an invitation. Doing that would make us look bad.” Be leaned


    against the wall. She crossed her beautiful, slender arms, making her look like an exquisitely crafted


    sculpture.


    “How strange! I’ve carefully checked every invitation sent out. I made sure everyone received only one


    invitation, without mistake. How could that woman possibly have an invitation?” Steven was full of


    doubt.


    “Ah, because her invitation is from me.”


    Steven gasped and said, “Ms. Be, what did you say?”


    “I said, I invited Mandy to the banquet.”


    Be spoke with a sly smile. Her mischievous eyes made her seem.


    like a cunning fox. “There’s no better time than tonight to stand up for my sister.”
