Sky-High Pampering Plan Of Her Destined Husband

Chapter 118

Fiona didn't let go of Janet even after giving the money to her. Whenever she thought about it, she would curse Janet, saying she was the bane of her life and that she wanted to kill her.

The next day, a maid gingerly knocked on the door and handed an envelope to Fiona.

"What's this?" Fiona looked at the envelope and quickly removed the face mask whilst rubbing the sticky essence onto her cheeks.

"A gentleman just gave it to me. He said it was an invitation to a party."

Fiona sat up straight and snatched the envelope. It was an invitation to a party held by the Larson Group.

"Bernie! Bernie! Come out and see what I received!" Fiona shouted and ran to Bernie, waving the invitation. The man was happily playing with birds he raised outside the balcony.

Bernie was submissive, but he was not a fool. He took the invitation and carefully read it. "The Larson Group? What's going on? Don't you think it's strange? They would never invite the Lind family to such an occasion."

It was precisely why Fiona was excited. She gently massaged the residual essence on her face, thinking it would make her look young forever.

"Are you out of your mind? It just proves that our drama in the Larson Group has worked. Maybe they are holding a party, just to apologize to us."

Fiona grinned dreamily as she thought about attending such a momentous party.

Bernie wasn't as blindly confident as she was.

He still couldn't bring himself to believe they got invited to the party.

The party was held at Waterside Manor. It was a private place exclusively offered to influential celebrities for conducting social events.

Before leaving, Fiona carefully dressed up and applied two thick coats of foundation on her face, hiding her fine wrinkles and freckles.

Jocelyn was also dressed in an extravagant outfit.

Only wealthy, influential people attended the parties held by the Larson Group. Fiona felt the occasion was perfect to find her a good son-in-law.

All three arrived at Waterside Manor with great expectations.

"Mom, this place is huge!" Jocelyn squealed with excitement as she looked at the splendid building in awe.

"Shush!" Fiona grabbed her arm and leaned closer. "Stop looking like an ignorant woman and degrading yourself, Jocelyn. After all, you are a wealthy diva. Straighten your back and look like a dignified woman."

Jocelyn took a deep breath, held her head high, and tried to look like a majestic queen.

However, the next moment, the smile on her face vanished. "Janet is also here!" Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

All eyes turned to her.

The dark green satin dress clung to Janet's slim waist, accentuating her perfect features. Her chestnut curly hair was coiled up with a wooden hairpin. Her bangs elegantly swayed as a gust of cool breeze brushed against her. The light makeup and pink lips seemed to brighten her face. She looked breathtaking tonight.

Janet stood out among the women dolled up with copious amounts of makeup and dressed in extravagant clothes.

Even Fiona was shocked.

She always knew Janet was beautiful. However, the woman somehow looked prettier with every passing day. She was an effortless beauty who exuded a natural charm.

"What the hell is she doing here? I'm going to slap her. You don't know how she humiliated me in the banquet last time." Jocelyn was seething with rage as she remembered what happened to her at another party last time. She grabbed her dress and almost rushed toward Janet.

However, Fiona quickly grabbed her wrist and stopped her. "Don't be impulsive. If you fight with her on this occasion, it will only ruin your reputation."

Jocelyn gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger.

Fiona used to be a social butterfly when she was young. She enjoyed dancing at balls and parties. Many people knew her. Soon, she began to chat with the other guests.

"Things aren't going well."

"What's wrong?" the lady beside her asked concernedly.

Fiona let out a weary sigh, feigning pity. "It's kind of embarrassing. You probably know my adopted daughter, Janet. She is a heartless, ungrateful child. She has taken away all our money from our family. Now, she is leading a carefree life outside, neglecting me and her adoptive father."

Many guests at the party were employees of the Larson Group. "You mean Janet Lind? We know her. She works in the design department. She seems sweet and well-mannered. I didn't expect her to be such an evil person."

As they got into an animated discussion, Janet walked toward them, grinning broadly with a glass of champagne.
