“You two just go enjoy yourselves. Let everything else sort themselves out,” Anna said to Sierra and Holly.

This party was some sort of a transition event she had arranged for Sierra. Everything else would follow naturally.

Sierra glanced at the invitation, and a guess formed in her mind. “Mom.”

“Yes?” Anna replied.

“You’re sending me to this party in preparation for me to take back the shares later, right?” Sierra asked.

“Why do you say that?” Surprise in Anna’s eyes.

“Normally, you’d take me to meet your friends and introduce me to them, or you’d bring me to the party yourself and introduce me around,” Sierra said, playing with the invitation she was holding.

Anna nodded. “That was the original plan.”

“But now, you’re suddenly letting us go on our own? Is it because of the birthday gifts Cyrus and Mr. Lynch gave us yesterday?” Sierra asked tentatively.

“Yes.” Anna looked at the two of them and said plainly, “The main purpose of this party is for you to show your face.”

Holly gave Sierra a look.

Anna made the stakes clear. “With the way the King family is, they won’t let you get those shares easily. If you push them too hard, they might even make you get into an accident before you ever receive them.”

What had happened to her could not happen to her daughter again.

“So this party is essential,” Anna went on. “You need enough attention and enough people talking about you. Keep them curious about you for a long time. That’s the only way you’ll be safe.”

Only then would the people in the King family think twice before making a move.

If anything happened to Sierra, they would be the first people Harbor City’s powerful families would suspect. As one of the four major families, the King family cared about its image too.

“How do we get people talking about her and keep them curious?” Holly asked.

Sierra was curious, too. Right now, she was just an ordinary person.

“There’s no need to stir anything up. She’s already the main topic among Harbor City’s prominent families,” Anna said to Holly, her eyes resting gently on Sierra. “They overdid it when they prepared your birthday presents.”

“Cyrus and Mr. Lynch?” Sierra asked.

Anna nodded in agreement.

Holly’s eyes flashed with understanding.

Anna was originally worried that Sierra would not be able to handle entering this circle. Now it seemed Sierra understood everything.

“If someone at the party asks about your relationship with them, just say you’re my daughter,” Anna reminded her. “Don’t say anything else.”

Only then would the chatter get even louder.

Anna King had returned.

Chapter 467

Anna King had a daughter.

She was the one Mr. Lynch and Cyrus were paying special attention to.

Those would be enough to keep everyone curious for a long time.

The King family soon heard about it.

Inside the King family residence, Charlie sat in a suit, a dark expression on his face as he stared at the guest list in his hand. His face twisted with anger as he yelled, “What’s wrong with these people? Why did they put Sierra on the list?”
