How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 127

Monica's milestone birthday was held at a large villa.

Because it was her seventieth, the celebration was quite grand.

There were well over a hundred guests, a mix of friends, family, and business associates.

The atmosphere was relaxed, with a buffet-style reception that allowed guests to mingle and chat freely.

A decorated stage had been set up in the villa's courtyard, where the birthday ceremony would likely take place.

Winifred hadn't realized the party would be this large, but seeing the crowd, she felt a small sense of relief.

With so many people, it would be easier for her and Yvan to avoid each other.

Her plan was to find Monica when Yvan wasn't around, give her the gift, chat for a few minutes, and then excuse herself.

That way, neither of them would have to face any awkwardness.

The party hadn't officially started, but many guests had already arrived. Winifred found Monica, who was sitting with Hogan, Murphy, and a few others she didn't recognize. Yvan was nowhere in sight.

Yetta and Wright were at the entrance, greeting guests.

A hostess took her gift, and she walked over. "Mrs. Brown, happy birthday."

"Winifred, you're here! Come, sit next to me." Murphy's face lit up when he saw her, and he pulled her down into the seat beside him.

Monica also stood up, smiling. "Winifred, I'm so glad you could make it. Please, sit."

Those who didn't know Winifred wondered silently why Monica was being so warm to her.

One woman smiled and asked, "Mrs. Brown, who is this young lady? I don't believe we've met."

Winifred tensed, terrified Monica would mention her connection to Yvan, even as just a former classmate.

Fortunately, Monica just smiled and said, "This is Dr. Spencer. She treated my teeth once, and now she's a dear friend, despite our age difference."
