134 Birthday Plan

Vincent wasn’t joking around.

To him, Gianna couldn’t hold a candle to Amelia–whether it was looks, brains, or talent.

Amelia even had 30% of the Nygards‘ shares in her hands!

His words didn’t touch Amelia at all, but they cut Gianna deep. Her eyes went red with

Vincent would never say that behind closed doors.

anger.

In private, he’d always claim Gianna was better than Amelia–smarter, kinder, and more thoughtful.

“No thanks. Cross me off your list. It’s disgusting. Keep my dear little sister there instead.”

Amelia felt there was no point in dragging things out, so she decided to leave early.

If she had known those people would show up, she wouldn’t have chosen today to visit Ursula and Thea.

“Kids get moody sometimes. It’s normal. Don’t let it bother you,” Diana quickly said, trying to calm things down.

She was terrified the fight would blow up and wreck any chance of fixing the relationship.

“Right! Our families have always been close. We know each other so well,” Emery jumped in.

“By the way, we haven’t had a party in ages. We should plan one and have some fun together.”

Diana immediately grabbed the chance to switch topics. A party was the perfect way to give her son more chances with Amelia.

She was dead set on getting Amelia back.

Emery nodded. “I was just thinking that too. Gianna’s birthday is at the end of the month. Her dad is throwing her a party. You all have to come!

“And of course, Amelia will be there. It’s her sister’s birthday, after all.”

Anyone could see what they were plotting.

Amelia just folded her arms, silently watching the little show.

“No problem. Our families are close. We wouldn’t miss it,” Diana answered right away.

No one was happier than Gianna.

She’d always wanted a birthday party, but she usually pretended she was too modest to spend money, so she never had a big one.

Now that Raymond was hosting it, she was thrilled.

“Amelia, you have to come! It’s rare for me to have a party. We’re family, after all.”

She looked at Amelia with pride and a bit of

smugness.

“Of course. I’ll even bring you a big gift.”

And now, they wanted Isabel at the party? Just thinking about it made her stomach twist.

Still, she couldn’t say anything.

She swore she’d humiliate Isabel at that party and force Marcelo to dump her.

On the surface, the atmosphere was cheerful again, but Amelia could see that everyone was scheming.

When Isabel’s name came up, Gianna’s face instantly soured.

She hid it well, but Amelia caught it and knew exactly what was on her mind.

Things were about to get interesting.

Amelia stayed a little longer, then decided she’d had enough. She didn’t want to waste her time with those annoying people.

Before leaving, she whispered something in Marcelo’s ear.

The usually serious Marcelo instantly stiffened at her words.

He managed to stay composed, though.

“Marcelo, what’s wrong?” Gianna asked, unable to stop herself.

She’d seen Amelia whisper to him and then watched his shocked reaction.

Gianna, who had plenty of secrets of her own, was dying to know what Amelia had said.
