Chapter 29 Can''t Attend the Party
Chapter 29 Can''t Attend the Party
Early in the morning, in the stairwell, Allison looked around before whispering to Cathy, who was
dressed mboyantly.
"Miss Bird, I did what you asked me to do and cut up that dress. Let''s see what she''s going to wear.
I don''t know where that ugly woman got the confidence to go to the birthday party."
Cathy wasn''t satisfied with just cutting up the dress. It could only appease the humiliation she had
received at the clothing store.
What made nche think she could go to the party?
The thought of nche taking Louis'' arm and walking into the party hall with her head held high
made Cathy''s teeth itch with hatred.

A momentter, she turned her malicious gaze toward Tammy, who was drinking her morning tea.
Cathy walked over to her with a dark n in mind.
She didn''t believe that Tammy would allow nche, a notorious woman, to attend the birthday
party.
After sitting down next to her, Cathy smiled.
"Tammy, is nche going to the birthday party too?" she asked.
"Yes, she is. How did you know?" Tammy replied, unable to hide the displeasure on her face.
"I saw her picking out a dress for the party at the clothing store yesterday. I thought you must have
given her permission to go and were nning to introduce her to everyone," Cathy said.
...
As the sun set in the west, Tammy sat in the living room with a stern expression on her face.
There was movement at the door. It was Louis returning home.
Tammy looked over at her son who she was always proud of. He was tall and handsome, with a
strong financial background and plenty of ability.
How could he have married a woman who was good for nothing?
Louis felt his mother''s gaze as soon as he entered the door and walked over to her.
"Is there something you want to say to me?" he asked.
"I saw that brazen girl buying a dress for the birthday party. She said she was going to attend. Are
you really going to let her go?"
Louis sat down unhappily without a response. Tammy pulled a long face and snapped.
"I don''t care what you think. She can''t attend the party. You know that not only our family but also
many celebrities and elites will be there. If she appears at the party, it will be like admitting to
everyone that we''ve recognized her as one of us."
Louis leaned back and slightly tightened his jaw.
"What difference does it make now that the news of my marriage is all over the inte?"
At the mention of the inte, Tammy''s face clouded over with anger. She almost fainted when she
saw the news online.
Whoever had posted it was trying to ruin her son.
"That''s different," Louis said. "Someone with ulterior motives purposely put that out there. It doesn''t
mean I recognize her as my daughter-inw. But if she appears at the birthday party tomorrow, the
nature of it changes. It means we''ve recognized her identity."
Louis raised his chin but said nothing.
"You and she are from different worlds, and there is no way you will live with her for the rest of your
life. She''s just a small episode in your life. I''ve said my piece. The rest is up to you."
Tammy abruptly stood up and looked at her son. Not sure of what he was thinking, she gathered her
shawl and went back to her room.
Louis looked up at the bedroom upstairs. The door was open and the light was on inside.
His fingers tapped on his knee one by one as Tammy''s words reyed in his mind.
In the bedroom, nche was joyfully picking out a ne to match her dress. Once she met with
Henry tomorrow, her grandmother''s surgery would be hopeful.
Suddenly, Louis''manding voice came from behind her.
"Don''t waste your time. You can''t go to the birthday party tomorrow."
The ne slipped from nche''s hand. It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her
head.
She turned around abruptly, her face nching and flushed with anger. Louis''st-minute decision
had upset all her ns, but she would stop at nothing. The birthday party was her only chance to
meet with Henry.
"Why? I''m her granddaughter-inw, and I deserve to go and celebrate her birthday."
Louis undid his cufflinks and looked at her with cold eyes.
"How did you get this title? Shall I remind you again that if you hadn''t cheated on your marriage,
who would you be? Would I even know you?"
nche took a sharp breath. Did he really think she wanted to do that? If it were not for the sake of
her grandmother, she wouldn''t have married him.
"No matter what, I should attend this big day. It''s customary for juniors who are married to see their
elders. I have to go."
Louis looked at nche''s stubborn expression. For a moment, his eyes flickered withplexity.
But he remained unmoved.
"Don''t worry about that. I''ll exin everything to Grandma. As for the party, don''t even think about it.
It''s not possible."
His words were final.
After the lights went out, nche couldn''t sleep. She sat on the sofa hugging her knees in sorrow.
