Prushed

Not a single person threw shade or made a sarcastic comment. But Amelia could feel that beneath their bright smiles hid a cold, calculating disdain.

While everyone was still busy flattering each other, someone suddenly yelled, “Hey, isn’t that Evelyn Whitemon? She actually came back?”

Amelia followed the crowd’s gaze to the entrance and saw Evelyn strutting toward them in a ridiculously flashy outfit.

“Amelia, you’re here too? I honestly didn’t think you’d get an invite. After all, this is the elite social circle. Are you getting used to it?”

“Since you just got back to the country, maybe you didn’t get the memo. I am Sebastian’s fiancée. Being invited to Mr. Thorne’s birthday is totally normal for me. But you… why are you here?”

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure my family didn’t send you an invite!”

Amelia and Selena tag–teamed perfectly. Evelyn’s face instantly dropped, and the panic in her eyes grew visible by the second.

“I… I came with Sebastian!”

Evelyn’s eyes flashed with a smug, gloating light, trying to show off.

“Oh. Well, Sebastian told me last time that you were clinging to him like a leech. As a fellow woman, I have to warn you–don’t be so shameless. You’ll never find a husband acting like that.”

Amelia said it with such a dead–serious face that all the socialites in the circle had to cover their mouths to hide their laughter.

This girl Amelia was absolutely fascinating. In their circle, when people fought, it was always wrapped in layers of polite double–talk. She wasn’t exactly subtle, but she didn’t use filthy words either–and yet, she completely destroyed people.

Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.

“I…” Evelyn stammered for forever but couldn’t come up with a single comeback.

Not wanting to watch them bicker, Carol took Amelia’s hand and led her inside. “Ladies, please follow me. The banquet is about to begin.”

All the wives followed Carol into the mansion, leaving Evelyn standing alone in the courtyard, stomping her feet in rage.

As the music started playing in the grand hall, Harrison slowly walked down from the second floor, with a highly respectful Alexander right beside him. Seeing how relaxed they both looked, it seemed the Bennett family was safe.

Amelia had to respect her older brother’s PR skills. Managing to smooth things over with a heavyweight like Harrison Thorne proved he really knew what he was doing.

“Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet. Eat, drink, and make yourselves at home. No need to be formal tonight!”

Standing on the stage, Harrison gave a short speech, actually showing a rare smile.

Right at that moment, a man’s voice rang out from the crowd. “Mr. Thorne, Sebastian Sterling didn’t even show up to your 60th birthday. Looks like he really doesn’t respect you!”

Who the hell had the guts to publicly trash Sebastian Sterling at the Thorne estate?!

In the business world, Sebastian was the absolute king of Kingsley. Even if he was too busy to attend the banquet, Harrison wouldn’t dare utter a single word against him.

Amelia frowned and turned to find the idiot who clearly had a death wish.

She saw a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and an absurdly gorgeous face holding up a wine glass, giving her a condescending smirk and a nod.

Amelia quickly racked her brain, but she drew a total blank. She had never seen this Who the hell was he?

before.

“Mr. Sinclair, I don’t recall the Thorne family sending you an invitation.”

The second this guy named Ace Sinclair appeared, even Harrison’s expression turned dead serious, and several older men standing near him frowned deeply.

Amelia even heard a bodyguard next to Harrison whisper, “Mr. Thorne, should we call the police?”

Harrison shook his head. “Let’s see what his agenda is in this country first.”

Ace pushed through the crowd and walked right up to Harrison, giving a dramatic, gentlemanly bow. “Mr. Thorne, there’s an old saying, ‘Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar?‘ It’s your 60th birthday. I brought a gift and showed up uninvited. Are you mad?”

Harrison was a master politician. He didn’t rise to Ace’s bait, instead smiling warmly. “Mr. Sinclair, there’s another old saying, ‘Uninvited guests.‘ And that perfectly describes your behavior right now.”
