Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 Wait a Second

It was barely 7 p.m.

Arthur had painstakingly set up the venue for Bethan’s birthday dinner.

All day, Bethan was in a daze.

For the dinner, she just grabbed a V-neck chiffon-patched dress from her closet. The black form-fitting top paired with a dark-gray chiffon skirt made her look sexy, romantic, and elegant.

With light makeup and naturally wavy long hair, she kept it simple in both appearance and manner.

Arthur, looking dapper and handsome, stood beside Bethan, drawing everyone’s attention.

Glancing at her outfit, he drooped his eyelids and said, “Bethy, aren’t you dressing a bit too low-key today?”

Bethan gave Arthur a quick look, looking a bit absent-minded.

“Maybe I haven’t been sleeping well these days. I’m just too lazy and wiped out,” she explained.

Bethan nodded slightly, looking down.

“You go ahead and mingle. I’ll take the little one to the restroom,” Calvin then said.

Calvin had arrived at the venue with his son an hour earlier

and had been by Bethan’s side for a while.

Seeing the guests starting to pour in, he made an excuse to take his son away.

As friends and relatives who came to celebrate Bethan’s

birthday filled the venue, Bethan shook herself out of it and tried to perk up.

Little did she expect Alina to show up.

Still dressed smartly, Alina stepped forward, holding out the gift. “Ms. Olsen, you’re not gonna boot me out for gatecrashing, right?”

Accepting the gift, Bethan thanked her with a sincere, “I’m really flattered.”

A warm smile passed between them.

Alina couldn’t resist singing her praises. “Dr. Olsen, you’re one

For Bethan, Alina was a wellspring of wisdom. This woman was so suave, sharp, and composed that Bethan knew there was so much she could learn from Alina.

Alina didn’t hog Bethan’s time and went to say hi to other guests.

When James walked in, Bethan quickly stepped forward. “Mr. Keating.”

James, standing at a towering height, was wearing a black suit jacket over a burgundy deep-V shirt. The V was so low that as he walked, one could catch a glimpse of his well-defined abs.

With his hands in his suit-pants pockets, he nodded at the gift box under his arm.

Bethan was used to James’ wild dressing style. She reached out and grabbed the gift. “Thanks, Mr. Keating.”

Arthur snorted and said to Bethan, “Aren’t you scared it stinks?”

“I smell great from head to toe, even my leg hair!” James rolled his eyes at Arthur.

Bethan was left speechless.

James gave the Davis family a disdainful look and walked over to Calvin.

Bethan was surprised that Edith came to her birthday dinner after the Marshall incident. She quickly welcomed her.

What was more, there were some people Bethan didn’t even know.

She pulled Arthur aside. “Did you invite these people?”

Arthur shook his head. “I guess they’re just trying to kiss thinking you’ve got big-shot backers.”

Bethan didn’t argue.

In this social circle, people knew how to brown-nose the powerful.

up,

They came to her birthday dinner to get noticed by guys like James and Calvin and make connections.

Without those connections, she’d be nothing.

At nearly 8 o’clock, Bethan’s parents reminded her that most guests had arrived and it was time to cut the cake.

Just then, Mason and Gwen walked in through the revolving glass door.

Bethan could tell from Gwen’s sharp business suit that she’d come straight from the office.

Mason handed the gift in his hand to Gwen, gesturing for her to give it to Bethan personally.

Without any more hesitation, Gwen stepped forward to Bethan. “Bethan, happy birthday!”

Touched to the point that her eyes welled up, Bethan hugged Gwen. “I knew you’d come.”

Barry came over and asked, “Is there anyone else who hasn’t arrived?”

Bethan looked around the venue and shook her head. “Everyone who should be here has arrived. Let’s get started.”

Gwen and Mason exchanged a glance.

Gwen lowered her head, looking sad.

In Bethan’s heart, Hugh was long out of the picture.

Olsen, why not share a few words with us before we cut into

the cake?”

Bethan looked at Calvin, surprised to see this side of the usually composed Calvin.

Seeing everyone cheering, Bethan cleared her throat, smiled, and nodded.

Mason and Gwen stood at the outer edge of the crowd.

Seeing Bethan about to speak, Mason hesitated for a moment and then called Hugh on a video call.

Hugh answered almost instantly.

Not seeing Hugh on the screen, Mason couldn’t help asking, “Hugh, where are you?”

Hugh didn’t show his face and told Mason he was changing clothes and it wasn’t convenient to be on camera.

With the noisy atmosphere at the scene, Mason didn’t think much of it.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Bethan said sincerely, “Thank you all for coming to my birthday party.

As Bethan’s sincere words filled the air, the venue gradually fell silent.

Bethan continued, “I’m really happy today because the people I love and those who love me are all here. I’m so blessed.

“Today, I’m going to wipe the slate clean of my life before 27 and start afresh. From now on, I’ll love myself well every day.

“I also wish that when you open your windows, you’ll be greeted by warm sunshine, and when you’re on your journey, you’ll be guided by starlight. May everyone find the gentlest light in life.”

What had once almost destroyed her had ultimately made her

invincible.
