Chapter 181 Left out

Lorraine despised Amelia even more. She'd heard from Layla that Amelia was actually the Brown family's adopted daughter.Stories from Layla had painted Amelia repaying the Brown family's unwavering kindness by mistreating Layla after Layla’s arrival, a bitter move over Layla’s supposed stealing the family's affection.Still, Layla made it clear she had never held it against Amelia, feeling it was the Brown family's fault that Amelia felt left out.Lorraine snorted in disgust. Being just the adopted daughter, Amelia should know her place and be grateful for the Brown family's kindness instead of resorting to low tricks just for attention.Amelia was a total ingrate.Lorraine fixed Amelia with a cold stare. "Still refusing to acknowledge your fault? Huh. Unless you get on your knees and apologize, I won't let this slide!"Amelia let out a cold laugh. "Go ahead and do your worst. Let's see if you can get me kicked out of the Miller family's estate."A collective gasp rippled through the r

Chapter 182 All the invites

Not everyone in the room knew this, but the true guests of honor received invitations handwritten by Xavier himself. Outwardly, all the invites looked identical, except for that small detail.Amelia didn't argue. She simply reached into her purse and handed over her invitation.Before the head of security could take it, Lorraine lunged forward and snatched it out of his reach. She laughed. "Looks like a regular invite to me," she said, waving it for all to see. To her eyes, it looked exactly like every other invitation, absolutely not some VIP invitation.Turning back to the security team, Lorraine's tone turned threatening. "Get rid of her now, or I'll have my godmother make sure every one of you is dismissed."The security team exchanged uneasy glances. Nobody wanted to make a mistake, not when a real VIP might be involved. Mishandling this could cost more than just their jobs.“Ms. Reynolds," the head of security responded firmly, "please hand me the invitation so I can check it pro

Chapter 183 Frosty look

If Celine turned cold toward her now, the doors of the Miller family would slam shut.And with them, so would her family's future.Celine shot a frosty look at the head of security. He caught the message instantly, stepped forward without a word, and carefully retrieved the battered invitation from the marble floor. Holding it reverently with both hands, he offered it to her like a sacred relic.Unbothered by the grime clinging to the invitation, Celine unfolded it. The moment her gaze swept across the handwriting inside, a flicker of recognition crossed her face, it was Xavier’s. The script was sharp, deliberate, and dignified, brimming with command and refinement. There was no mistaking it.Amelia hadn't crashed the party, she had been invited by Xavier himself.Celine snapped the invitation shut and leveled a glacial stare at Amelia. The crowd sensed the shift, like a cold wind passing through velvet curtains, and whispers broke out like wildfire.“From the look on Mrs. Miller's fac

Chapter 184 Teasing her

That certainty brought Layla a grim sense of peace.“Celine…" Lorraine choked out, her voice ragged, tears spilling freely now.“Lorraine," Celine said gently, yet with unmistakable weight, "when you make a mistake, you apologize. It takes strength to admit when you're wrong. Owning your actions and correcting them, that's the mark of real character."Lorraine opened her mouth to object, but nothing came out. How could she? Her family's standing still hinged on the Miller family's goodwill.One word of disapproval from Celine could undo everything. So she swallowed her pride. For now. But deep inside, resentment bloomed like poison. It was only a matter of time before she took control of the Miller fortune, and that was when she would get her vengeance.With trembling breath and bloodshot eyes, Lorraine turned stiffly toward Amelia.“Miss Brown," she muttered, each word scraped from her throat, "I'm sorry. I misunderstood you."A slow, mocking smile played on Amelia’s lips as she spoke

Chapter 185 What he was up to

Amelia could see exactly what he was up to, but she didn't rise to the bait. She sipped her juice in silence, refusing to give him the satisfaction.But even tucked away in the quietest corner of the banquet hall, the two of them stood out like a beacon. Eyes began drifting toward them. Glances turned into stares, and stares turned into hushed whispers.The guests weren't just watching. They were dissecting, each glance filled with silent guesses about the true nature of Amelia and Desmond’s relationship.“Who's that woman standing next to Desmond? Is she his girlfriend?"“I've never heard of him dating anyone. He's always been laser-focused on work. Cold as stone when it comes to romance."“Yes! Xavier’s been trying to marry Desmond off for years, but no one's ever caught his eye."“Well, look at them! Laughing and standing that close, she has to be someone special. They look good together too. He wouldn't just linger like that for no reason…"“You must've gotten here early and missed

Chapter 186 Quiet fury

Layla hesitated but reluctantly loosened her grip. Mock panic flickered in her voice as she stammered, "I…I'm sorry, Mr. Miller! I didn't mean to…”Not far off, Lorraine's eyes burned with quiet fury, dark and venomous as they bore into Layla. Her fingers clenched around her wine glass, knuckles whitening with the force, ready to shatter.Lorraine's original plan had been simple: trip Layla so that she would accidentally splash red wine over Amelia, making it look like an unfortunate accident rather than a deliberate sabotage. But fate had other plans.Not only had Amelia avoided embarrassment, but Layla had somehow gained the upper hand.Loraine, the goddaughter of Celine, Desmond’s mother, had never laid a finger on the edge of Desmond’s suit. Yet here was Layla, boldly wrapping herself around him like she owned the moment.Desmond didn't spare Layla even a glance. With cool detachment, he shrugged off his jacket and handed it to a nearby waiter. "Throw it in the trash," he commanded

Chapter 187 Fix it

"Just tell me what I did wrong," Lorraine said, her voice trembling. "Whatever it is, I'll fix it. I'll do anything if it means you'll stop looking at me like this." Lorraine reached for his arm, desperate, but Desmond stepped aside, avoiding her touch without hesitation.“No matter what you do," he said coldly, "you'll still be the same…annoying and unbearable."His words were sharp and unyielding, cutting through Lorraine like ice. Tears streamed down her cheeks, her heart aching with humiliation.She had lowered herself time and again just to earn a sliver of warmth from Desmond, but all he ever gave her was indifference or, worse, disgust. What had she done to deserve such treatment?Moreover, Desmond’s attitude toward her was starkly different compared to how he treated Amelia. Just what did he see in that woman?Lorraine's gaze drifted toward Amelia and then stopped at the handsome man standing beside her, someone who had been whispered about earlier as Lucas Sullivan.Lorraine's

Chapter 188 Ever so slightly

Amelia leaned in ever so slightly and spoke deliberately. "In that case, I want the Miller family's casino. Can you make that happen?"Lorraine's entire frame went rigid, momentarily frozen in disbelief. Had she heard correctly?Amelia was asking for the Miller family's casino? So that was her game all along.Once the shock settled, Lorraine's lips curved in a quiet, inward smirk. She finally had leverage against Amelia!“Miss Brown, please refrain from making unwise remarks like that. If Celine and the other members of the Miller family catch wind of it, they might twist your meaning,"Lorraine said, wearing a mask of concern.Sensing the insincerity, Amelia gave a meaningful grin. "Don't mind me. Just a bit of banter, forget I said a thing."At this point, Lorraine's phone was already secretly recording, her finger having tapped the button moments earlier.“Miss Brown, earlier you spoke about desiring Miller's Casino. That wasn't serious, was it?" Lorraine inquired with mock innocenc

Chapter 189 Relaxed amusement

Lorraine's confidence quickly shifted to panic. She could play the piece, of course, but sitting next to Amelia, she felt an inexplicable pressure. What made it worse was that she had secretly changed the agreed-upon piece, but Amelia didn't seem the least bit bothered. Instead, Amelia kept playing along with that calm, smiling look.Every time Amelia glanced at her with relaxed amusement, Lorraine's heartbeat quickened. Several times, her nerves nearly caused her to hit the wrong notes.Lorraine cursed Amelia silently. Hadn't Amelia said she only knew simple songs? How was she managing this piece so confidently?She wasn't even looking at the sheet music. And the way she played, it sounded almost identical to Tiana herself.When Lorraine finally slipped up, some guests began to whisper.“Wasn't Lorraine's mentor supposed to be one of Tiana's protégés? Yet, she made a mistake. Compared to Miss Brown, she's clearly lacking."“I don't know much about piano, but Miss Brown’s playing was s

Chapter 190 Unwavering gaze

Nearby, Lucas observed the composed Amelia with an unwavering gaze. She stood at the heart of the storm, radiant and unshakable, commanding attention like a star in a crowded sky. He didn't care if the crowd doubted her, he believed she wouldn't toss out accusations without something solid up her sleeve. She was poised to unravel the lie, and he trusted her to do it with flair.Desmond, too, had faith in Amelia. Sure, she still got under his skin, but her words carried weight he couldn't dismiss. His gaze remained locked on her, and he failed to realize he was actually reluctant to look away.“If you've got a plan, spit it out!" Lorraine snapped, glaring at Amelia with barely concealed irritation. "If you can't prove my mentor's faking it, you'll hold a press conference and apologize publicly to us!"Amelia’s smile widened, cool and confident. "Well, I don't think I've said something wrong to apologize for." Her gaze swept the room, commanding silence as she spoke with deliberate calm.
