Chapter 638
The ballroom was a pitiful sight with how empty it was. The few men who had attended
were Javier’s business partners instead of anyone Sophia knew.
The only women in the room besides Sophia and her daughters were the hotel staff and
the pianist they hired! All the rich men’s wives and mistresses who appeared to be on
good terms with Sophia were
nowhere to be found!
Damn it! Damn it to hell!
If the reporters hadn’t been present right now, Sophia would have thrown a tantrum right
then and there.
Javier’s brows furrowed just the slightest, but besides that, he didn’t show much emotion.
Meanwhile, Betty was shocked. She had known how bad her mother’s relationships in their
social circle
were, but not to this extent!
“Hurry up
up and take those photos! This is going to make the headlines!” a reporter cried, followed
by frantic snapshots of the virtually empty ballroom.

Starlet of
Yesterday’!”
“This is hilarious! She was even bragging about how many guests she had invited earlier!”
Sophia was quaking angrily under her dress. She glared at Betty, signaling for her to help
kick the
reporters out.
Betty hurriedly went up to the reporters with a courteous smile, saying, “My mother’s
birthday celebration is about to begin, so we’ll be heading on inside to tend to the guests
now. Please have a safe journey
home, and be sure to get your door gifts outside!”
The bodyguards quickly shoved the reporters outside the hotel.
Some of them scowled and gossiped amongst themselves after getting their door gifts,
saying, “To think we trudged all the way here in the snow just to be kicked out. They
clearly don’t want to be caught being
embarrassed!”
“Tending to guests, my ass! More like ghosts!”
Though Sophia’s celebration had just begun, it was so quiet and boring that it felt like it
was ending.
Sophia was so angry that not even her makeup could contain the rigid expression on her
face anymore.
The guests present were all Javier’s friends, so they ignored her right after giving her their
well wishes, chatting a storm up with Javier instead. Just like that, the supposed star of the
night was kicked to the
side
How could this… How could this happen?
“Mom! Betty hurried over, her face pale with worry. “Look what I found out! All the quests
you invited to your party tonight are all at KS World Hotel right now! Alyssa’s gotten the
better of us again!”
Sophia had guessed as much earlier, but the feeling was incomparable to actually hearing
it as truth.

Beside them, Lauren turned to gaze at her sister and mother upon hearing the mention of

eyes were clouded with complex emotions.
“Half of the guests are there for the Taylor family, and the rest are for the Schmidt familly.
I heard most of the Schmidt family’s friends are at Lyla’s birthday party right now, too!
They want to kiss both of those families’ asses while the iron’s hot, after all!” Betty
exclaimed.
She added, “I even heard that some of the guests weren’t on the Taylor family’s list at
first, but for some reason, they received an invitation from Alyssa yesterday.
“So they decided to attend that celebration at the very last minute! Alyssa was the one
behind all this!”
“When will that bitch stop messing with me? Does she think she can best me just by
ruining my birthday party? Who does she think I am?” Sophia shrieked, her face twisting
into ugly hatred.
“Don’t call my sister-in-law that! She’s not a bitch!” Lauren finally cried angrily.
Sophia glared at her. “Shut the hell up! She’s not your sister-in-law!”
“Do you have any idea what you’re saying, Lauren?” Betty cried, taking advantage of the
situation to storm.
