Chapter 373


    “Come over when I tell you so. I’m your dad. Do I need to make a reservation to see my own daughter?


    It doesn’t matter which big shot you’re married to, I’m always going to be your dad. You will need my


    blessing for you to get married. Nothing will change that.”


    I had to admit that Nathan’s words really did strike me in the chest. If he didn’t attend my wedding and


    started spreading nder about me on top of that, it would truly be a disaster.


    “What a good father you are, threatening me with my very own happiness,” I scoffed sarcastically


    before hanging up.

    I nced at myself in the mirror. I was slowly bing more and more radiant under Christopher’s


    loving care. Even my eyes seemed to have be more foxy, resembling Julia’s slightly. When I


    stopped smiling, they had a faint intimidating aura to them, but when I smiled they curled up in an


    endearing way.


    I must be going crazy. As if I could actually be Julia’s daughter, Iughed inwardly.


    After changing into a full Chanel outfit that Christopher had bought for me, I put on some light makeup


    and admired myself in the mirror. It was true: a woman could never be ugly as long as she knew how to


    dress herself up.


    I walked toward Fiesta Hotel and immediately got escorted to a private room. Suddenly, a middle-aged


    man who looked mildly familiar started walking toward me. I assumed he was going to walk by and


    moved aside to give him space when he suddenly stopped in front of me. As he looked me up and


    down in a judgmental manner, he asked, “Ms. Tanner?”


    “That’s me. May I know who are you?” I asked in confusion. If one attended a party, there might be


    people who you’ve never even heard of before, who knew exactly who you were. Now that Christopher


    had so openly announced our rtionship, I knew I had gained quite a reputation among this


    community.


    “You’re quite the cunning minx. You definitely shocked all of us with that little stunt you pulled to go


    from a nobody to a somebody. Still, I suggest you remember who you are and stop trying to climb this


    ladder. Trying to get too high will only result in a bad fall. You should take a proper look at yourself and


    know that you should stay in your ce. Stop trying to go after something you don’t deserve,” the


    middle-aged man said with folded arms. After his sudden speech, he walked past me and off into the


    distance.


    Despite my confusion, I still made a motion of gouging his eyes out behind his back as he walked


    away. It was bad enough that he was insulting me, however, I didn’t even know who he was. I turned to


    ask the employee who was escorting me if he knew who he was.


    “He’s known as Mr. Martin,” the employee replied.


    I didn’t know which Mr. Martin I had offended, so I just shook my head and epted it as my bad luck. I


    walked toward the private room and opened the door only to see Nathan and Yvette in the room.


    Nathan knew very well that I did not get along with Yvette, and our rivalry was second only to the one I


    had with Crystal. I couldn’t believe he had the audacity to bring her along.


    I sat down in front of him and asked, “What could be of such importance that you needed to talk to me


    face-to-face? You were even willing to threaten the happiness of my marriage to see me.”


    “Can you be more respectful to Dad? It’s not like he’s doing this for his own good. You were the one


    who started all of this and now the whole Tanner family is involved in your mess. He came here to talk


    things out, so you’d better be more polite,” Yvette started whining.


    “Enough. Cut to the chase. What did I do that could possibly have caught you all up in a mess?” I


    asked as I leaned against the chair casually. My expression was clearly impatient, but Nathan should


    have known better. He never delivered any good news, and with Yvette around everything sounded


    even worse.


    “Take a look. Everything is right here,” Nathan said with an insulted look on his face. He stared at me


    with an angry re and continued, “You better give me a proper exnation after this. I spent so much


    time and effort building up the Tanner family to where it is today, and I won’t allow anyone to break it


    down.”
