Although Audrey was born into a wealthy family, Triston's mother, Willa Lambert, had always been prejudiced against showbiz and therefore did not approve of Triston's pursuit of Audrey.In Willa's opinion, female celebrities in the showbiz industry had always appeared in public, which was not like the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.It was only after learning that Audrey and Triston might be together that she eagerly introduced Triston to girls in the first place. She didn't realize that after all this time, her son still hadn't given up on Audrey, and this was the first time she'd seen her son so attached to a girl.If it weren't for that, she wouldn't agree to appear at today's dinner party now.Triston led Audrey into the door, and everyone from the Lamberts had already arrived.The scene of everyone sitting in the private room made Audrey feel a bit guilty. She looked guiltily at the crowd and whispered, "I'm sorry. I'm late."Triston's father, Egbert Lambert, had a
Sure enough, only after Audrey said those words, Willa's face completely darkened.Seeing that Willa was about to explode, suddenly...Triston applauded happily, which instantly attracted the crowd's attention.Triston calmly met everyone's gaze and looked at Audrey gently. "Good. You're worthy of being the woman I love. I'm most annoyed with those women who stay at home day in and day out and like to gossip when they have nothing else to do. You have your own career and I'm very supportive of that."Triston said this with a proud look on his face and raised his eyebrows at Audrey, full of smugness.Willa's face instantly turned gloomy.Her son had demeaned her by calling her a gossipy woman just to please another woman, and it made her furious.Egbert kind of realized that his son was totally in love with Audrey. He thought it was good because Triston used to be a playboy and was always surrounded by messy women. At that time, he was really worried that Triston would marry an u
Since Triston brought Audrey to meet his family, he had worked non-stop to put their marriage on the agenda.Audrey was a popular actress, and to not affect her career, Triston chose to propose in a low-key manner.Triston arranged a party on Audrey's birthday and invited many of Audrey's friends.Audrey originally thought Triston was too high-profile, but Triston insisted. "I didn't participate in so many of your past birthdays. I finally have a chance to participate this time."He persuaded Audrey repeatedly. Audrey couldn't resist him and could only agree to let him arrange the party.Luckily, he only invited Audrey's close friends and did not send out invitations widely, so she could take this opportunity to have a gathering of friends.Audrey was surprised to see Catherine when she arrived.Catherine was now eight months pregnant. Normally, she would be rejected by Branden if she wanted to visit Catherine.Branden was now very careful with Catherine every day, and Audrey w
In the end, Branden couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to snatch Catherine back, only then did the scene come under control.Now, no one dared to continue touching Catherine's belly.Once he snatched Catherine back, he held her tightly in his arms and prevented anyone from touching her. He thought in his mind, "Since these people like this brat so much, I'll just give the brat to them when Catherine gives birth. Saves one more person from sharing my wife with me."Triston smiled and watched the crowd as the birthday party began exactly as it should.The big screen began to show all the images of Audrey from her debut until now that were outstanding or worthy of recording. Some of the images weren't even in Audrey's possession, but Triston had found them and made a video of them.As the images flashed by, Audrey's tears couldn't help but fall from her face. She cried not only because she remembered the hardships she had endured in showbiz for many years, but also bec
At Vicente Swann's funeral.As the Swanns were one of the three prominent families in Casier, Vicente's funeral was naturally packed with big shots and members of respected families in Casier.In the noisy venue, the arrival of a girl in a white T-shirt attracted the attention of everyone present.All of the people present were either rich or powerful. Despite being good-looking, the girl wore a cheap and battered T-shirt, setting her apart from everyone else at the funeral.Seeing how she walked straight toward the Swanns family, someone couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is she? Why is she sitting with the Swanns?""I heard that she is Miss Catherine, the second daughter of the Swanns that had lived away from the family. Vicente only asked her to come back before he died.""Is that so? I heard that Vicente ordered the family to announce his will in front of everyone before he died. I guess she only returned for this!"...The girl did not know that she had already become th
After the will had been announced, the Swanns were in an uproar.Korbin immediately doubted the will, but it was announced by Leonel Bolton, Vicente's lawyer, himself. Besides, Leonel even showed them a video recorded by Vicente, especially for his will before he died, as proof.Moreover, in his will, Vicente noted that if any member of the Swanns were to object to such a decision, they would be instantly disowned and kicked out of the family.One had to know that every member of the Swanns was working in the Swann Corporation. They would have nothing left if they were kicked out of the Swanns.Now, the guests present finally understood why Vicente ordered to announce his will in public. He was doing so to catch Korbin off guard.Everyone knew Vicente was cunning. Even on his deathbed, he lived up to his reputation for making such a plan.However, why was Catherine chosen to inherit the Swanns' fortune? Wasn't she the Swanns' jinx?As he looked at the girl, who remained calm, Le
After being handed the will, Catherine returned to the living room.Most of the Swanns were sitting in the family living room. "I don't care what you bumpkin had done. But you are dreaming to want to inherit the Swanns' fortune!"The one that spoke was the youngest son of the Swanns. He was Catherine's younger brother, Johnathan Swann.He was the only son of the Swanns. At first, everything in the family would eventually belong to him. But now, it had all become Catherine's. How could he accept it?From the beginning, he didn't respect Catherine at all, as he thought she was just an uneducated country girl. Now, she had inherited the Swanns' wealth. How could he take this lightly?Johnathan came to his mother, Rachael, took her hand, and complained, "Mom, you can't let the jinx inherit the family's fortune! Make her give it up, and go back to the countryside!"Everyone in the Swanns knew that Catherine was a jinx, so Vicente sent her to the countryside when she was young.Soon
Catherine officially settled down in the Swanns. Her room was in the basement of the Swanns' residence.There were dozens of rooms in the broad residence of the Swanns'. But Catherine was arranged to stay in a room in the basement that even the maids would not stay at.Hah!One could see from this how the Swanns treated her.Looking around the spartan room, Catherine did not show any trace of emotion on her doll-like face.She did not care about where she was staying. She preferred staying in the basement, as it was quieter there.So that the other members of the Swanns would not bother her relentlessly.If it were not for Catherine's looks, nobody would believe that she was the daughter of the Swanns.Korbin's wife, Rachael, was known to be a beauty in Casier when she was younger.If she called herself the second prettiest woman in Casier, then nobody would dare to claim to be the prettiest.Everyone thought that Liana, the youngest daughter of the Swanns, looked like Rachae
