Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 482

He had already tasted the sweet perks of being Julius’s father-in-law and had absolutely no intention of letting that connection slip away.

"Alright, then we’ll all go. I’ll go get the gifts sorted."

Miranda, of course, wanted to go. Parading around as Julius’s mother-in-law brought her immense prestige, and the elite society wives wouldn’t dare whisper about her being a former mistress anymore.

However, ever since the incident with the ashes of Stella’s mother, she still felt a lingering guilt and fear whenever she saw Stella, which had temporarily curbed her ambitions.

Now that her husband was initiating the visit—and knowing that fierce girl wasn't around—she figured it was worth a shot.

"Fine, I'll make sure everything is perfectly prepared for tomorrow so we can go together."

Chloe was a bit intimidated by Julius, but the magnetic pull of his overwhelming wealth and god-like looks was simply too much to resist. She desperately wanted to see him.

As long as Stella wasn't there, she felt emboldened.

Stella was just too vicious, having slapped her around multiple times. If she could somehow seduce her husband while she was away, that would be the ultimate victory.

Even if she couldn't seduce him, just laying eyes on him would be enough.

And so, on the third day of the new year, both the Hawthornes and the Jeters arrived at the Blackwood Manor, completely uncoordinated.

Just as they had predicted, the Blackwood family didn't turn them away at the door during the festive season.

The entire family was gathered in the living room, and even Sabrina Sherwood was there.

Sabrina was only present because her family had insisted. They noted that she and Jason Blackwood were high school classmates and urged her to pay a holiday visit, hoping to elevate the business partnership between the Sherwoods and the Blackwoods in the coming year.

If Jason had been the one to invite her, she could have easily declined. But since it was a family mandate, she had no choice but to show up.

When the Jeter and Hawthorne families walked in, the entire household had been happily chatting with Sabrina.
