Chapter 305

The birthday celebration for two high society ladies was upon them.

Elspeth was so excited the night before that she couldn’t sleep, fantasizing about outshining all the others at the party the next evening. She chuckled at the image playing in her mind.

Not only that, she had her staff put together clips from her acting career, along with some glamorous photos from hér modeling days, preparing to play them on loop at the party to impress the guests.

However, the next day, Elspeth looked haggard, her eyes bloodshot, and dark circles nearly touching the ground. Without makeup, she resembled a ghost from an old horror movie!

Getting old was inevitable. She used to stay fresh even after filming for three days and nights straight. Now, just one sleepless night had her looking worn out. “Call my beautician to come over for an emergency beauty treatment! Now!” Elspeth anxiously paced around the room.

She was so enraged that she smashed an expensive glass.

Her husband, Frederic, was blissfully ignorant of her tantrums.

The servants waiting outside the door, terrified, immediately scrambled away to call for help.

Elspeth checked herself in the mirror, a raging fire burning inside her.

Today, she was celebrating her birthday alongside Myra, a friendly competition of sorts.

Even though she hadn’t seen Myra in years, and despite feeling superior as Frederic’s wife, she was still nervous. Myra used to be the leading lady, the fantasy of men countrywide. Elspeth feared she might not be able to outshine her.

“Mom! Mom!”

Glynnis rushed in, startled by Elspeth’s appearance.

“What’s the matter? You’re making a racket!” Elspeth snapped.

“I just called Grandpa again to confirm, and he said he still won’t be attending your birthday party”

“So what? I never expected that old man to show up anyway. I couldn’t care less if he comes or not. I’d rather not have his old man smell ruin the atmosphere!” Elspeth scoffed, not bothering to hide her disdain for Hamilton from her daughter.

“But, but he also told me,” Glynnis swallowed hard, “he and Thaddeus will attend the Ashbourne family’s party instead.”

“What?” Elspeth was livid, her eyes burning with rage.

“He said that he received a video call from Chairman Emeric and Evadne last night, and they had a great time chatting. So, he decided to visit Chairman Emeric for old time’s sake and have a few drinks.”

“Damn it!”

Elspeth was furious, her chest heaving, sweeping everything off her vanity!

“Mom! What are we gonna do now? If people find out that Thaddeus and Grandpa are attending the Ashbourne’s party instead of yours, it will be humiliating!”
