Katherine looked at the invitation in her hand, her brows tightening slightly.

She had not forgotten the fireworks show five years ago, the one that had felt like a public display of their love in front of everyone,

When Rachel saw Katherine’s faint frown, she curled her lips into a secret smile.

She knew very well that her birthday party was something Katherine would never get over when it came to Lucas.

She had done it on purpose.

After returning home, Katherine casually placed the invitation on the table.

Megan walked over, munching on an apple. “An invitation? Who gave it to you?”

“Rachel.”

Tch.”

Megan set the apple down in disgust. “She actually sent you an invitation?”

“It’s her birthday party. Lucas is booking the venue again and setting off fireworks for her.”

That was enough for Megan to understand.

Rachel knew this was a thorn in Katherine’s heart. If there had been no birthday party back then, Katherine would not have been so heartbroken. Rachel was doing this on purpose.

“Lucas is such a jerk. He couldn’t even remember his own wife’s birthday, but he goes all out for his ex. Is he trying to prove to the world he’s trash?”

“Mommy, are you going?”

Julian, Ethan, and Ivy walked downstairs. They had heard everything.

Katherine rubbed her temples. “Mommy isn’t planning to go.”

い

Even though she had brought up divorce five years ago, they had never finalized it. Legally, they were still husband and wife.

Her husband was throwing fireworks for his first love. What was she supposed to do there? Go and make herself a joke?

Ivy picked up the elegant invitation card, her bright eyes shifting as an idea formed.

That night, the three little ones began plotting,

Ivy raised her hand first. “If Mommy doesn’t go, we will Back then, bad Daddy celebrated bad Rachel’s birthday and made Mommy heartbroken right after she lost Grandma. Now bad Rachel is showing off on purpose. We’re going to get revenge for Mommy”

I agree. Julian?”

The two younger ones looked at the calmest and smartest of them.

Julian’s small face turned serious as he thought over. Under their anxious stares, he nodded. “Okay. We have two days. Let’s make a plan and turn that fireworks show into a joke on both of them.”

Ivy pressed her lips together. “But Mommy definitely won’t let us go. If she finds out, she might get mad.”

Ethan patted Ivy’s shoulder. “Silly Ivy. Of course we’ll do it secretly.”

“But we promised Mommy we would be good and listen.” Ivy hesitated, but only for a second. She clenched her little fists. “If we’re not good just one last time, it should be fine?

Early the next morning, Katherine took the three kids to look at schools.

Because she and Lucas had to go through a 30-day mandatory waiting period before the divorce could be finalized, the process could take as little as a month or longer.

She planned to enroll the three kids in school first. Otherwise, once Megan left. she would have to manage three children and work on her own. She would not be able to handle it all.

She had found the school online the night before. It had looked pretty good.

After arriving and learning more about it, the three kids agreed to attend.

The enrollment process went smoothly.

School would start tomorrow. The three kids seemed unusually busy today and were in a rush to get home. Katherine had no idea what they were up to.

After taking care of the school matters, Katherine went alone to find Lucas with the divorce papers.

She was told that Lucas was not at the company

Katherine called him several times in a row. The calls went through, but he did not answer.

She frowned. It felt like Lucas was avoiding her.

Since she could not find him, there was nothing she could do. She had to go to the auction house today and did not have time to wait arouni.

It was her first official day back at work.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she saw a young woman standing there, as if waiting for her.

The girl hurried over when she saw her. “Cath, My name is Olivia Bowman. Mr. Swanson assigned me as your assistant.”

Katherine glanced at her. Olivia wore black-rimmed glasses and held a stack of files. She looked quiet and studious. Katherine did not have high demands for an assistant.

If Josh had arranged her, she should be capable.

Katherine nodded. “Nice to meet you.”

As they walked inside, Olivia handed the documents to Katherine.

“Cath, there’s an auction in five days. It starts at one in the afternoon and ends at eight at night. Mr. Swanson assigned you to handle it. Here’s the information on the items. You can take a look first.”

“Okay.” Katherine took the files and entered her office.

At home, the three kids divided the tasks among themselves. They were determined to make Rachel and Lucas pay at the birthday party for the hurt they had caused Katherine back then.

On Rachel’s birthday, at six-thirty in the evening on the top floor of Crestburg’s most luxurious hotel, the perfect place to watch the fireworks show.

The fireworks were scheduled to begin at eight.

Every year on Rachel’s birthday, Lucas prepared a gift for her. Booking the venue and setting off fireworks had become a tradition. And because it was a tradition, everyone envied her.

That night, Rachel looked as beautiful as a princess from a fairy tale. Everyone surrounded her, showering her with compliments. Blushing shyly, Rachel said, “Oh, stop. You all look amazing too.”
