The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 639

"Why are you exaggerating, Aunt Clarisse? She's just a secretary!" Janet had never seen Becky as a threat. In her view, Becky was just an employee who worked for whoever paid her more.

Clearly, Janet's thinking was shortsighted. She overestimated her own importance while underestimating Becky.

After leaving the lounge, Becky returned directly to the banquet hall. Instead of immediately seeking out Ronald or Charles, she asked someone to bring her ice to reduce the swelling on her face.

Once the numbness subsided and the pain lessened, Becky finally went to look for Ronald.

Although Becky had already tried to address the situation, Ronald still noticed the faint marks on her face. "Go and touch up your makeup later."

"Alright." Becky touched her face. "What part of the evening are we at now?" She glanced at the stage and saw that Collosus employees were performing.

Flipping through the program, she remarked, "The next act is... Winter's?" She looked further down the list. "Mr. Wells, honestly, Winter doesn't seem very talented. Look at all the other Royal Star artistes. They all have impressive skills. But Winter is just going to sing. How underwhelming is that?"

Becky was somewhat shocked, considering that singing could be both a simple and a challenging performance choice.

Lara performed a dance, while Brielle, who was Royal Star's leading artiste, opted for something more sophisticated—playing the violin.

Brielle was placed second-to-last on the program, so by now, she was already in costume. She sat quietly, looking like she had stepped out of a beautiful painting.
