The days flashed by in the blink of an eye, and Anuta sermingly forgot that she had pollenmanied. Of course, that was until she received a call fromber best friend, Helena Terr
“Hello? Dear Lord, you’ve finally answered your phone! You have no idea how close I was to reporting you missing!”
“What’s up?”
Aurora had just changed out of her lab coat and was returning to her office with a stack of data.
Helena sighed wearily. “Please don’t tell me you forgot what today is.“.
Autota was about to hang up when she heard Helena screech urgently, “Wait! Don’t hang up on me! Remember the party? When will you be here? Do I need to send a car to pick you up?”
Today was the 60th birthday of their high school principal, Mr. Mitchell Billingsworth. He also happened to be a world–renowned planist who was deeply respected and loved by his students.
Aurora finally remembered the event after heating Helena’s reminder.
“It’s fine. I’ll get a cab.”
“oh, alright. Still, you’d better clean up nicely. Everyone will be dressed to the nines. They’re all eager to brag about their achievements. You just returned to the country, so there’s no need for you to lay low. Especially since…”
Helena trailed off before continuing hesitantly, “I heard Sidney and Whitney are back in Zanzimar. They’ll most likely attend the party. After all, this party will…” “I understand,” Aurora responded blandly before promptly hanging up.
This so–called gathering was merely an opportunity for her classmates to compete with one another. There wasn’t much of a point in attending it. Honestly, Aurora rarely attended such events.
Unfortunately, Mitchell had nung her up several times. As a result, she felt obligated to attend the party this time.
The birthday party would be held at Aurum Hotel, which was incidentally the most luxurious hotel available in Zanzimar
Aurora rushed to attend the party right after her class. Hence, she didn’t bother dressing up elegantly. Instead, she wore a simple suit that was neither overly formal not too casual. Even so, her light makeup failed to hide her stunning beauty
The venue was bursting at the seams, and no one paid any mind to Aurora. So, she decided to find a comfortable place to sit while waiting for the party’s star to
arrive.
She had just in
made her way to the terrace when she overheard a conversation.
A few dolled–up women were surrounding someone, mocking her cruelly
Meanwhile, Whitney, who was dressed in an opulent champagne gown, was evidently the ring leader of those harpies. She was a popular supermodel who had transitioned into an acting career, starring in several web dramas.
Those socialites were eager to ingratiate with Whitney. After all, not only was Whitney a supermodel, but she was also the true heiress of the Klein family. She was considered the apple of the Klein family’s eyes.
“Who cares about Aurora? She and Whitney were swapped at birth! She stole Whitney’s rightful place as a rich heiress!
“What she said! She should be ashamed for enjoying such wealth after all these years. She’s nothing without the Klein family’s support!”
