But how do I feel superior to others if I don’t compare? How will other people know that I’m a cut above them?

The feeling that Penelope wanted was to be high and mighty. She desperately wished for Ashlyn to be the mud on the ground while she was the phoenix in the sky.

Attempting to lighten the awkward atmosphere, Mary stood up and raised her wine glass. Her face appeared stiff as she forced a smile. “Mr. Haddock, let me give you a toast. Thank you very much for organizing a birthday celebration for my daughter.”

Dixon arched his brows. Although this mother-daughter duo knows the rules of the game, they aren’t intelligent either. But, this is the kind of people who are the easiest to control. As long as I get hold of their weaknesses, they will be my puppets.

At the thought of his plan, Dixon laughed. He showed equal respect by raising his glass and returning the toast. “Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Now that the collaboration between Haddock Group and Yates Group has been cemented, we’re considered family now.”

“It’s our honor to work with Haddock Group.” Mary’s face no longer looked so sullen. She could already imagine Bianca’s face once she brought this collaboration back to the Yates family.

I must show those fools at Yates Group what I’m capable of. I can help Yates Group bring in money too. I’m surely more worthy than those useless bums!

Sheer glee flooded Mary at the thought.
