Chapter 62 The Birthday Celebration
Lydia and Queenie nearly couldn’t rein in their expressions upon hearing Anna’s words, but Lydia pressed on. “Nicole is back too. According to Queenie, she is currently working with Gardner Corporation. That’s why I came to invite you too.”
“Nicole?” Anna asked in mild surprise when she heard that particular name. She had heard about what had happened at F&M Apparel’s annual dinner, and she remembered that Nicole was Lisa. Upon hearing Nicole’s name, Anna’s expression softened slightly. Before she married her husband, Anna had been a somewhat famous fashion designer. However, she gave up her career as a designer because she had a new family. When she finally had time on her hands, she had already lost the drive she once had during her youth.
Colton knew that deep down, she regretted not being able to continue pursuing her dream as a designer, so after Gardner Corporation had stabilized its footing, he insisted on making the corporation blaze a path in the fashion industry.
“That’s right. Lisa of F&M Apparel, and also the eldest daughter of the Anderson Family,” Lydia hastily added.
“Mom, it’s Lisa. Let’s go to the party,” Wendy said, hastily pulling on her mother’s hand when she heard Lisa’s name. If Lisa wouldn’t agree to her brother’s request, she would ask her personally instead. If Wendy could get Lisa to design her gown, she would be the talk of the town when she wore it to her graduation.
Anna knew what her daughter was thinking of course, and she gave an exasperated laugh. She looked at the two women in front of her and nodded. “All right,” she answered.
Seeing that Anna agreed at last, the smile on Lydia’s face turned even more simpering. A brief exchange later, she left with Queenie.
After working the entire day, Nicole seemed distracted as she sat inside her office. Lydia, clear her mother’s name? That was such a laughable thought. She didn’t believe it one bit.
But now that Queenie had mentioned that, Nicole wanted to see just what sinister motive they were hiding!
…
All the lights inside the Anderson Residence were on when night fell. As Queenie was Colton’s fiancée, plenty of famous figures from various industries and circles attended the party, all due to her high status. The venue was stuffed to the brim with important figures from Goldwick and Lumore’s business industry. When they arrived, they received another piece of news: the eldest daughter of the Anderson Family, Nicole, was the legendary Lisa.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
