Chapter 1483


    Victor didn’t care, “What can he do knowing you’re there for me? You’re a big deal now, the Macins


    are sure to treat you right. They wouldn’t do anything to me considering you!”


    “Don’t forget, Bet has no clue about us. If you push it too far, he might boot you out of the


    Victor was worried, “Does he know?”


    “I covered it up for you. You need to keep your chin up. Don’t get too greedy in the first ce. I brought


    you into the Macin family for other reasons than a little profit.” Carme lowered her voice, You have


    to look beyond that ”


    Victor gave it some thought and chuckled, “Alright, I’m all ears.”


    “Beware of Manager Cheney, use your brain when you do things, and don’t let people find your


    weakness, I can’t always be there to bail you out!” Carme warned.


    “Ok, I got it!”


    “Do as I say, and someday I’ll make you filthy rich. The Macins’ wealth will be ours.” Sensing Victor’s


    impatience, Carme patiently guided him, painting a rosy picture of the future.


    Sure enough, Victor perked up at that, “Sis, you’ve finally figured it out!”


    “Are you going to listen to me?”


    Absolutely, your wish is mymand!” Victor responded without skipping a beat.


    “Great, hang up!”


    Carme let out a satisfiedugh and hung up.


    On the other end, Sallie was calling Estelle, hoping she’de to the celebration. Knowing Estelle


    wanted nothing to do with the Macins, she sweet-talked, “Come for me, would you? I’m stuck on the


    designs for this season, I would like you to guide me.”


    After some thought, Estelle agreed, “Alright, I’lle byter tonight.”


    “Just so long as you can make it!” Sallie perked up.


    “See you tonight!”


    “Alright, can’t wait!”


    Sallie hung up, her mood instantly lifted at the thought of seeing Estelle. She wasn’t as irked as before


    seeing Carme strutting about when she got home….


    The Macins’ celebration was held at a banquet hall on the 26th floor of a hotel. Everyone from the


    Macins was there except Estelle, and Terrence had invited some of their well-connected friends.


    Simone, naturally, invited her gal pals.


    Never one to miss a chance to show off, Simone asked Carme to invite her teacher, Albert Mullins,


    and his wife, but Carme felt like she didn’t need Albert anymore. Given their past, she made up an


    excuse that Albert was out of the country and couldn’t make it. Simone bought it hook, line, and sinker


    without double-checking.

    By seven, the guests had all arrived. Men in suits and women in dazzling outfits made for a grand and


    luxurious affair.


    Although the Macin family was not the top rich family in J City, the people they associated with were


    very rich or powerful people. Simone and Carme flitted about, turning the celebration for Carme


    and Sallie into their own personal stage.


    Once, Sabina was the pride of the Macins, now it was Carme. Seeing all this, Natalia was


    cheesed off and vented to Leonie. Leonie, however, also became more cunning and just sneered, “Our


    Sallie always keeps a low profile. Let’s give them the spotlight today. I’m just gonna see if they’re


    having too much fun.”


    Seeing that Leonie wasn’t swayed by her instigation, Natalia gave an awkwardugh and kept her


    opinions to herself.


    Sallie sat to one side, taking out her design sketches from her bag, deep in thought about how to make


    her designs stand out even more. asionally, she looked up to see Carmelia being fawned over like


    a peacock showing its plumage, and an idea suddenly struck her.
