Chapter 177
Sharon was in charge of keeping the Larson family’s social connections with other prominent families. Everyone in the capital’s upper–class society was impressive. Being able to handle them with ease was a rare skill, and she excelled at it, which was why Ruth held her in high regard,
However, Sharon frowned and went back to her room to look in the mirror. In the reflection, she looked different from before. Her skin was no longer smooth and appeared stiff.
Despite undergoing the best medical treatments, her face had suffered irreversible damage. Even now, heavy makeup was required to conceal her unnatural appearance. She sighed, believing that Madeline was responsible for her disfigurement. She gritted her teeth in frustration.
Just then. Alfred entered, carrying the gift. “Ms. Larson, Mr. Larson asked you to bring the gift over.”
“Tve got a question for you. I told you to find an opportunity to get rid of Madeline. When will it be? You used to be more efficient. Or do you think I’m going to lose my standing now that I look like this?” Sharon glanced at him coldly.
Sharon’s tone was sarcastic. It wasn’t unreasonable for her to think that way. After all, the Larson family was a prestigious family. Many people were eyeing her position, hoping for an opportunity to win Ruth’s favor and replace her.
“Ms. Larson, it’s not like that, Madeline has been under constant protection. When she was in Acocester, we never found the right moment to act. Moreover, her identity appears to be more complicated than we thought I suggest proceeding with caution, Alfred explained solemnly.
Sharon applied more foundation to her face. “I don’t care. I’m tired of waiting. I’ll give you one month. I want her life ruined: Alfred said nothing more and quietly retreated
Sharon glanced at the gift and muttered, “Mom doesn’t care about me now. If I can win this woman over, it would greatly help solidify my position. But Mr. Simmons is a highly sought–after figure. Plenty of people will be trying to cozy up to this woman. I need to find a way to stand out.” Sharon squinted, already forming a plan in her mind,

A few reporters had been stationed there early on, taking pictures constantly in an attempt to capture any news from this glamorous event.
Conner sat in the car with his phone in his hand. Vinessa peeked out the window and piped up. “So many people have come today. Mom, Dad told me that Caleb will be here this time. I saw him once from a distance before. He has a cold demeanor but is incredibly handsome.
There was a hint of admiration in Vanessa’s eyes. As a 20–year–old, it was natural for her to admire Caleb. I wonder if Steven is coming. If he does. there must be a lot of girls coming”
Tiana couldn’t help but tease Vanessa, “Weren’t you against arranged marriages and unwilling to marry anyone? Now you’re thinking about all these prominent men in Japrium?”
Vanessa pouted playfully. “Mom, you don’t know me at all.”
Tiana shook her head in amusement. As the matriarch of the Larson family, she had more experience than the average person, and her life experience was much richer than Vanessa. She understood Vanessa’s thoughts perfectly. Listen up. Caleb brought a date today. As for Mr. Wagner, he’s way out of our league, Tiana warned.
Vanessa, however, was undeterred. With a trace of indignation on her pretty face, she said. “Family status doesn’t matter. What matters is his feeling. What if he likes me? They’ll see my charm soon enough.”
Conner and Tiana entered the hotel with Vanessa. Once inside, Conner immediately went to have a chat with quickly surrounded by the other ladies. While they were chatting, Vanessa found herself alone.

“Aunt Sharon, I heard you’re planning to deliver a gift to Caleb. Why don’t you let me do it for you?” Vanessa asked, smiling sweetly. She had a sweet appearance, with two dimples when she smiled. Her figure was slender and graceful, which made her quite charming.
Sharon glanced at her and sand coldly. “If you’re thinking of trying to hook up intentions so blatantly obvious, you’re just seeking death by showing up in front of Caleb
