Although he did not say anything, Sebastian’s expression turned grim in a split second.
That afternoon, Sasha left Oceanic Estate and drove to Golden Heights.
She did not know a grand party was taking place at Golden Heights at that moment. It was Sig nth’s birthday party and all the socialites of Jadeborough were there to celebrate with her.
“Didn’t I tell you so, Mrs. Limmer? Everyone cares so much about you! We came over immediately when we heard it is your birthday!”
“That’s right, Mrs. Limmer. That’s what friends are for!”
Soon, all the ladies were crowding around her, showering her with expensive gifts and fawning over her.
Sigrith was overwhelmed by all the attention. She had moved to Golden Heights half a year ago, and her life had changed drastically during that few months. After being recognized as part of the Limmer family, she found herself thrown into the limelight. From a relatively unknown Mrs. Jadeson, she had become a wildly popular Mrs. Limmer, very much sought after within the high society circle.
The socialites behaved as if Sigrith was their best friend, so she felt obliged to invite the ladies into her home.
When Sasha arrived, what she saw was a beaming Sigrith being surrounded by a crowd of ladies, commanding all the attention of those around her.
What is she doing?
Sasha frowned puzzledly as she parked her car near the main entrance of Golden Heights. She grabbed her bag, alighted from her car, and headed straight into the hall.
“Sigrlth, what are you…?” she blurted out.
The hall suddenly fell into silence, and all the ladies turned toward the entrance upon hearing Sasha’s voice. They were taken aback as they had not expected Sasha to be there. Immediately, the atmosphere in the room turned awkward.
“Oh?” A look of panic flashed in Sigrith’s eyes as she hurried over to meet Sasha and said, “What brings you here, Sasha? You should have told me you are coming”
“I came to see you. What are you…?” Sasha asked, throwing a glance toward the room full of ladies.
Sigrith’s expression betrayed her uneasiness, and she hesitantly replied, “It-t’s my birthday today, and the ladies insisted on coming by to celebrate with me. I did not expect so many of them to turn up and am overwhelmed too!”
“Oh, it is your birthday? I am so sorry it slipped my mind!” Sasha felt bad and quickly apologize for it.
It was not easy managing a big family like the Jadesons. There were simply too many things to look into daily at Oceanic Estate, so she could not have possibly remembered everyone’s birthday.
