The day of the birthday banquet for the two rich ladies had arrived.

The night before, Aubree was so excited that she did not fall asleep. She fantasized about the scene of her being gorgeous at the banquet the next night, and she laughed when she thought about it.

Not only that, she also instructed people to edit footage from her previous performances, had numerous stunning photos from her debut on TS’s stage photoshopped, and arranged to have them displayed on a loop at her birthday banquet. The outcome was evident the next day; Aubree’s face was pale and her eyes, bloodshot. Her large dark eyes seemed ready to plunge from her face. Bereft of makeup, she resembled a scorned specter straight from an old port-themed movie!

In the end, she reached the milestone of 50 years. Age had transformed her skin, taking on a weathered tint. She reminisced about days of yesteryears when she was younger, recalling an instance where she had filmed continuously for three days and nights. Back then, her skin was lustrous and had a healthy glow. But now, she had just braved a sleepless night. Her matured countenance was visibly struggling with such strenuous events.

“Someone, please!” Aubree pleaded anxiously, pacing about the room. “Quickly, call my beautician to come and assist me with my preparations. Hurry!”

She was like an irritable patient, breaking an expensive cup in a fit of anger.

Jake could not see this arrogant and violent look.

The servant waiting outside the door was so scared that she immediately ran away to invite someone.

Aubree looked at the mirror left and right, and her heart was full of anger!

Today, she and Sia celebrated their birthday on the same day and fought in the arena.

Despite not having seen Sia for many years, she still feta serse of intimidation. Even though she priced herself on being

Jake’s wife, with a social status far surpassing that of Sia’s role as a concubine, she could not ignore the fact that Sia was once revered as TS’s paramour, otherwise known as female leader. Hailed as the national idol in the human world, Sia commanded a striking presence that often led to anxieties deep within her. The fear lingered that she may never be able to surpass Sia.

“Mom! Mom!”

Skyler hurriedly ran in. Seeing Aubree’s ghostly appearance, she was stunned for a moment.

“What’s up!” Aubree was annoyed.

“I, I just called Grandpa again and confirmed it with him. He still said that he would not attend your birthday party tonight…”

“What’s so strange about that? I never expected that old guy to appear from the beginning to the end. Whether he comes or not, I will still call him!” Aubree sneered coldly. In front of her daughter, she did not hide her hatred for Rory.

“But… but grandpa also asked me to tell you…”

“Like Joseph, he will go to Thorp family’s banquet…” Skyler bit the bullet and said.

“What?” Aubree was furious and her red eyes were about to split!

“He said that he received a video call from Director Thorp and Chloe last night and had a good chat with them. Therefore, he decided to… find Director Thorp to catch up and have a few drinks…”

“Damn it!”

Aubree was so angry that her eyes were on fire, and her chest was so stuffy that it was about to explode. She cleaned up the dressing table!

“Mommy! What should we do? Joseph and Grandpa are both going to attend the Thorp family’s banquet, but they’re neglecting you, their own family member. Isn’t this deliberately humiliating you?! If outsiders find out, where will you be able to hide your embarrassment?!”

Because Aubree supported Annie and Vincent together, Skyler had a belly full of resentment, and took this opportunity to vent it all. “They don’t acknowledge your identity as the mistress of Sawle family in their hearts. They think it’s embarrassing to attend your birthday party!”

“Don’t say anymore… Don’t say anymore!” Aubree was so angry that her heart was twitching and her blood pressure was rising.

Skyler looked anxious, but she was secretly gloating.
