    in the blink of an eye, it was the day K Orld Hotel hosted the charity jewelry auction


    This event being tied to charity, received a lot of attention from the Elmsworth media despite not much


    prior advertisement from K Orld Hotel and Ethereal Vogue magazine


    Ethereal Vogue was an internationally renowned fashion magazine. Countless celebrities had battled


    fiercely for a chance to feature on its cover, which was a testament to its influence The day was


    bustling with celebrities. The hotel’s security team was on full alert to maintain order. Celebrities


    greeted ther fans before swiftly entering the venue to avoid any chaos that might lead to stampedes


    The atmosphere stirred again when an impressive, stretched Lincoln pulled up


    The bodyguards opened the door, and out stepped Elspeth and Glynnis, dressed invish evening


    gowns


    Unlike other wealthydies and heiresses who entered through the back door or private entrances,


    these two were always seeking the limelight, as if they would stop growing if they weren’t caught in the


    sh of the cameras every now and then


    “Hey, int that Acacia’s aunt?’ Someone shouted, the words prating Elspeth’s ears across the


    crowd. Her face turned green instantly


    She had spent years shaking offbels like washed-up actress” and “home wrecker only to be


    associated with Acacia, a notorious troublemaker, andbeled as Acacia’s aunt. Regardless of the fact


    that the indeed was Acacia’s aunt, it sounded more like an insult now


    As more people chimed in, Elspeth’s face turned from red to ck. If it wasn’t for Glynnis supporting


    her, she wouldn’t have been able to walk


    Elspeth thought that people would have forgotten about the incident by now. But she realized that some


    humiliations were etched into her identity. Her carefully protected self esteem had been obliterated by


    that wretched Acacia


    Amidst the jeers, Elspeth and Glynnis entered the hotel, their faces ashan.


    “Mom, please try to keep a low profile and avoid public appearances,” Glynnis muttered unhappily. “You


    be the butt of all jokes, and I be one by proxy. It’s really embarrassing” “Glynnis You


    ungrateful child! Are you ashamed of your mother? Elspeth snapped, pinching her daughter’s arm hard


    enough to make her break out in cold sweat once walked into the Abernathy family with you in my belly,


    endured humiliations and disdain, and didn’t feel embarrassed. And now how can you be embarrassed


    by me?


    I hadn’t thrown away my dignity and fought tooth and nail for your father, would you be the heiress of


    the Abernathy Group? Could you lead the extravagant life you do now? You ungrateful brat


    Glynnis clutched her bruised arm, wishing she could escape from her mother’s onught of words


    The evening’s event was divided into two parts a cocktail party and an auction. The cocktail party was


    a dazzling gathering of familiar faces, almost like half the entertainment industry hade to show


    their support.


    Evadne, as the hotel’s general manager and the person in charge of the charity event, was naturally


    interviewed by the media.


    With cameras and microphones in her face, she handled the situation with grace.

    President Ashbourne, Ada has chosen Abernathy Hotel as her wedding venue Now, hosting Ethereal


    Vogue’s charity event, are you trying topete with the Abernathy Group?” asked a


    reporter


    Tunderstand why people might think that way, since we’ve always been inpetition with the


    Abernathy Group, Evadne responded with a calm smile. “But Ethereal Vogue chose us for this event.


    Everything happened by chance


    “Why did Ada change her mind about having her wedding at K Orld Hotel and chose Abernathy Hotel


    instead? Was there a problem?”


    “That involves a contract and is a business secret of the hotel, so I cant disclose it, Evadne replied


    “Was it because her wedding venue was leaked that Ada decided to cancel her contract with you and


    switch to the Abernathy Group?”


    Evadnes eyes darkened, a cool smile on her face. This reporter was quite problematic. Clearly,


    someone had nted him here.


    Meanwhile, in a corner, Edith was sipping champagne, watching Evadne being surrounded by reporters


    with a malicious smile. The pesky reporter was her doing


    Even if it couldn’t shake the earth, but thoroughly annoying Evadne and drawing more criticism her way


    wouldn’t be entirely fruitless


    At this moment, Elspeth and Glynnis made their way over


    As the one holding the trump card, Glynnis no longer trembled before Evadne instead she was


    brimming with confidence


    What you said is right, it’s indeed because of this issue,” Evadnes lips curved into a serious expression,


    her smile vanishing.


    Everyone gasped!


    Edith frowned. She never expected that Evadne would not make any excuses or evade the question,


    but instead, would answer it honestly


    What kind of tactic was this? She was at a loss!


    “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s not make it harder for Ms. Evadne,” Elspeth said, “She’s already up to her


    neck dealing with the breach of contract issues of her hotel


    Glynnsted her chin slightly, a smug smile on her face. However, Ms. Evadne, don’t be discouraged. Try


    again next time. The issues that you couldn’t handle this time, we, the Abernathy Group, will take them


    as a lesson, and we won’t make the same mistakes. We will definitely meet the clients needs and do a


    great job in keeping information confidential”
