A real comedy of errors unfolded at Leland's birthday bash, making Kieran despise Freya even more.
In her past life, Freya had never won Kieran's affection, so Joanna had always tread lightly. But in this life, Freya had moved into the Sutton family, and Johanna began to think she had it in the bag, growing increasingly bold.
"Johanna, I remember we didn't even celebrate my birthday last year, did we? You told Dad that girls should not rush to be in the spotlight at a young age. Am I right?"
When Freya mentioned the past, Johanna shamelessly retorted, "How can boys and girls be the same? Besides, you've taken over the company. What about Leland? Doesn't he need to attend these parties to meet influential people? If you say no, I'll ask Mr. Sutton. He'll surely side with his future mother-in-law!"
Hearing this, Freya let out a cold laugh. ‘Future mother-in-law?’
That seemed only Johanna's wishful thinking. Kieran had never paid Johanna any mind, not to mention taking her as his would-be mother-in-law.
"Johanna, why don't you try begging Kieran and see if he agrees?" With that, Freya hung up the phone.
Luna, beside her, quickly asked, "What did she say this time?"
Freya sneered, "She wants to throw Leland a birthday party at the Majestic Manor Hotel."
"What? The Majestic Manor Hotel?" Luna was shocked. Even their family would struggle to book a room there.
