"That child is getting more stubborn. I asked her to come back for the dinner party tomorrow, but she kept making one excuse after another. Anyway, she agreed to come back," answered Vince."You should just be glad she's agreed to come back. It's not like you don't know she's an adult now, one with her own thinking. All kids will leave the nest one day. Plus, she must be especially busy now that she's interning at New Capital Times. What's more, she never once reveals to her colleagues she's an heiress. You need to give her some credit for being such a sensible girl," said Karen with a smile.Vince held her hand. "The kids have grown up and flown out of the nest. Luckily, I have you by my side. I'm sorry for all the suffering Rita has put you through. She's not an ungrateful child; it's just that she misses her mother."Karen patted his hand. "We've been married for so many years. How could I mind? I've also watched her grow up, so how could I not know what kind of person she is? Th

"I know. But Rita's living alone outside now and managed to find a job at New Capital Times. I don't expect much from Sadie, but she should at least be doing better than Rita, right?"In the second year after Karen married Vince, Sadie changed her surname from Parr to Russell. Those who were not aware just assumed she was Vince and Karen's daughter.Due to her decision to change her daughter's surname, Karen was mocked in her social circles. Her motives could not be any more obvious. Only Vince was oblivious to it, thinking she genuinely loved him when, in reality, she only did it so that Sadie would be able to inherit his money after his death.When discussing the mess that was the Russell family, it was inevitable that Rita's name would be brought up. Back then, Rita's mother also came from a prestigious family and everyone thought she was marrying beneath her by taking Vince as her husband.However, Rita's status in the family had fallen ever since her mother passed away. With s

Camille Buckley replied, [What? Didn't your dad just have a dinner party? Why another one so soon? I'm guessing you're not allowed to skip it this time? I'll go if you're going!][Yeah, my dad knows I was just making up excuses not to go last time, so he resorted to threatening me to go this time. Come with me. Otherwise, it'll be so awkward for me to go alone.][The dinner party sounds more like a grand matchmaking event… I wish you all the best. Haha.]Rita's frown deepened at her best friend's joke.[I'm being serious. I'd rather cover a few more stories than to attend the dinner party tomorrow night. I'm going to be bored out of my mind by the guys there. They're so fake, too! I don't get why our parents are forcing us to get married so fast.]Camille sent a hug emoji. [I don't get it either. Why is your dad in such a hurry to marry you off? You're only twenty years old, barely an adult yet!][It's all because of Karen and Sadie! They're the ones who've been secretly persuadi

"Karen's motives might be apparent to everyone, but as long as Vince remains oblivious, he'll forever see him as a gentle, kind stepmom to his daughter. Alright, you can go now," Sherman said."Yes, Mister Sherman."Sherman leaned back in his chair and picked up the modest invitation once again.'Vince's daughter sounds really pitiful. Once cherished and adored, she now finds herself in a much lower position in the family. Not only does she have to deal with a stepmom but a stepsister as well. It's no wonder she moved out and found a job for herself. Vince should be ashamed to call himself a father. How can he neglect his daughter and pour all of his love into a kid that's not even his own?' thought Sherman.He found the whole situation baffling but also knew it was none of his business.…Knowing there was no way to get out of attending the dinner party, Rita went to the makeup studio she often frequented earlier on that day. However, her mood immediately soured when, as soon as

Chapter 2685

"If you genuinely wish to have your styling done at our studio, please be patient and wait. However, if you no longer wish to stay, there's a hair salon just down the street to the right that might be more suitable for you and your daughter.""Why you!" Karen's face flushed with anger. Other wealthy ladies present snickered at her.Karen had not expected such audacity from such a small studio. 'Who does he think he is?'"Do you even know who I am? How dare you speak to me like this! You better watch your mouth, or I'll make sure to close down this makeup studio for good!" threatened Karen through gritted teeth.Sadie also stood up and went to stand behind her mother to back her up. "What are you even? A man or a woman? You should feel honored I'm willing to let you do my styling, yet you're standing there shaming us?"Rita could tolerate all the insults Karen and Sadie threw at her, but what she could not tolerate was them insulting her friend."Is this your idea of class? You tw

Denny rolled his eyes dramatically. He would have ignored Karen and Sadie if it were not for Lisa patting his hand."Now that's settled, how about I ask my personal stylist to give you two a complete makeover once my hair is done? That is, if you two still want it. I'll cover all the expenses, of course," said Lisa.Lisa remained smiling throughout. Karen naturally could not contain her joy, although she had to decline a few times out of so-called politeness."You're too kind, Lisa. But we couldn't possibly accept your offer. It was just a misunderstanding to begin with, so how can we let you foot the bill?"Karen reached out her hand, attempting to link arms with Lisa, but she gracefully evaded it. "It's nothing. You two just enjoy yourselves."After Karen and Sadie were led away by the stylists, Lisa mildly scolded Denny, "Look at the mess you've caused. Were you really going to fight with her till the end if I hadn't stepped in?""Thank you, Miss Lisa. But why should I be afra

Denny sighed. "Why are you so stubborn? You don't want to trouble us, yet aren't you always there for us when we're going through something? If it weren't for you back then...there might not be the Denny you see now. Sometimes, showing a little vulnerability doesn't mean you're weak. You're just too strong-willed; that's why those two women always get the upper hand. At the end of the day, your dad is just an ordinary man, and no man can ever resist feminine wiles. I think you need to adjust your strategy a bit."Rita laughed as she listened to Denny's earnest advice on how to deal with Karen and Sadie. "We're not in some kind of soap opera. There's not that much scheming and plotting in real life, you know?""Trust me, all the things I'm teaching you will come in handy someday. So just keep them in mind, yeah?""Alright, alright. How about we focus on getting my makeup done first, so that I can at least get through tonight's dinner party?" Rita closed her eyes tiredly. "I'm going t

Chapter 2688

Sadie wore a discontented expression as she was being made up by Lisa's personal makeup artist. She had done her research before going there, and she knew that the most skilled person at the makeup studio was Denny.Despite her dissatisfaction with his somewhat unconventional appearance, she had heard that he possessed remarkable skills and could transform ordinary-looking women into unforgettable beauties. Although Sadie considered herself beautiful, it did not hurt to be even more beautiful.Moreover, she had grown tired of being overshadowed by Rita. Whenever Rita was around, it seemed like others could not see Sadie at all, and she had had enough of this. She was determined to make all men notice her at the dinner party."Mommy, can you ask that Denny guy to do my makeup? I don't want just anyone doing it!" Sadie said.The makeup artist, who was about to apply foundation on her face, smirked upon hearing her request.'Does she think the boss would handle every client? Who does

Chapter 2689

"I come across plenty of oddballs in this line of service, so I'm pretty used to it. Please leave if you don't want to get your makeup done. I have other customers to attend to. I'm sure Miss Lisa didn't invite you in here to have you trample all over her kind gesture."The makeup artist maintained a smile throughout, which unsettled Karen. She tapped Sadie's hand abruptly. "This isn't your home, Sadie. So I'm warning you, you better behave yourself."She turned to the makeup artist with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that. It's my fault for spoiling her too much. I know she doesn't have the best of temper, but I hope you don't take what she says to heart. She just wants to look her best for tonight's dinner party, and with all the hype about Denny's skills, she's quite eager to have him do it. Of course, we also trust you. After all, you're Lisa's makeup artist, and we know you must be skilled enough for her to keep you."Sadie stood behind her mother with a look of frustration.

Chapter 2690

"Remember, you must behave well in front of the guests tonight. The more obedient and gentle you are, the more unruly it'll make Rita look. No man would dare to want her then!" said Karen smugly."Oh, don't worry, Mom. Haven't I always been well-behaved around others? Besides, I think Dad favors us more than Rita now, so there's no need to worry too much about the future. Rita may have her maternal grandparents, but I don't see them showing any favoritism toward her. Their relationship might not be good at all! Not to mention, her mother's long dead. Unlike me, who has a wonderful mother like you. I know I'll always have someone to count on as long as you're around."Karen put her daughter's head on her shoulder. "I can't afford to relax until I find a suitable match for you to marry."Her greatest concern was Rita's marriage. Even though Rita's mother had passed away early, everyone still felt there was only one true heiress in the Russell family, and that was Rita. This was entire
