After the group exchanged a few pleasantries in the living room, the butler came to announce that dinner was ready.
Before dinner started, Joy Dalton and Sharon Sterling said they needed to use the restroom.
In front of the restroom sink, Joy Dalton wiped off her fiery red lipstick and applied a less vibrant shade.
Sharon Sterling stood beside her, her face a mask of resentment. "Mom, do you think there's something wrong with the Valerius family? How can they be so warm to Aurora Sterling! I refuse to believe they don't care about her past! And that Mrs. Valerius, saying Aurora is like a fairy? I think she just has terrible taste! Seriously, it's infuriating! Of course. He's not her biological son, so why would she care? That's why she's being so nice to that idiot Aurora. She probably can't wait for Damien Valerius to marry that moron. That has to be it!"
