Chapter 432
The night of the charity auction at KS World Hotel did not disappoint.
Neither KS Group nor MINT had put much effort into promoting the event. But the local
news media and netizens were still all over it like bees to honey, given it was in the name
of charity.
MINT was an Internationally renowned magazine, after all. Anyone would kill to be
featured, even an
international celebrity.
The event was filled with famous superstars that evening, from actors to singers to
models. The hotel security was in full action, keeping the peace in and outside the venue.
The guests cooperated as well, making sure to quickly make their way inside the hotel
once they’d greeted their fans.
When a limousine drove up to the hotel entrance, the commotion increased.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOut came Sophia and Betty, dressed like sequined peacocks in elegant gowns.
Unlike the other wealthy heiresses who arrived via the back entrance or the VIP lane, they

the hundreds of flashing camera lights centered on the red carpet.
They behaved as though they were vampires, vanishing from existence the moment
someone ceased
taking photographs of them.
“Look, isn’t that Liana Gardner’s aunt?” someone yelled over the commotion.
Sophia’s face contorted. She had spent decades shrugging off titles like “outdated
actress” and “gold- digging mistress” to establish herself as the revered Madam Sophia
Kirkman, wife of Javier Beckett, CEO
of Beckett Group.
But all that effort had gone to waste because of her good-for-nothing niece, Liana!
“It really is her!”
“Wasn’t she the one who got taken in for money laundering?”
“Yeah! She was released later, though. Tsk. Who knew Solana City would have such a
devious character.”
“Does she think we’ve lost our memory? She has some balls to still show her face in
person here. Javier
Beckett should really keep a tight leash on her.”
“Every time I look at her, I’m reminded of how she reprimanded Liana Gardner on her
birthday celebration.
followed by Liana’s outburst.”
“Hahahah! She looked so dumbfounded then!”
Sophia’s face was red now. If it weren’t for Betty’s help, she might never have been able
to walk into the

She thought the public would have forgotten about that by now.
Regrettably, certain humiliations cut so deep that they appeared etched onto one’s
countenance, instantly reminding anyone of the incidents.
Her meticulously guarded self-esteem had been shattered, all thanks to that troublesome
Liana.
The two women quickly walked into the hotel, faces ashen.
“Maybe you should keep a low profile from now on, Mom,” Betty murmured, “Look. People
are all making fun of you. And you’re dragging me into it too. It’s really embarra-”
“Are you accusing me of embarrassing you, Betty Beckett?” Sophia cried, pinching her
daughter’s arm.
Sophia continued, “I didn’t bat a single eyelash when I married your father, not even when
everyone called me names and insulted me endlessly.
“Yet now you find me embarrassing? If I didn’t cling onto Javier all the years ago, you
wouldn’t have enjoyed such a wonderful life!”
