“Andrews? The elusive yet powerful hotel which is capable of satisfying all of its reserved guests‘


    needs?”


    Eva nodded. “Exactly. Only that ce is worthy of Mia’s first public appearance.”


    Shelly quipped, “What’s so great about the hotel?”


    One of the socialites chuckled. “It’s not just any hotel, and not everyone can book a reservation at it. I


    remembered that I had to wait two years to get my reservation when I called themst time.”


    Shelly retorted indignantly. “Then how did Mia book her reservation at Andrews? Did she cut the


    queue? Aunt Sharon wanted to spend her vacation there, but she failed to secure a reservation


    though.”


    “Shut up, Shelly!” Sharon’s face felt hot. She attempted to book a reservation at Andrews to experience


    the exquisite service herself, only to be rejected. She never revealed the humiliating incident to the


    public, yet she was once again mortified when she learned that Mia’s banquet would be held at


    Andrews.


    Amused, Liam chanced a nce at Sharon. Disdain shed across his eyes as he quipped. “There’s


    always a way to get in line–provided that you’re qualified enough to do so.”


    The realization finally dawned on Shelly, rendering her speechless.


    Eva chimed in magnanimously. “You are all invited to the banquet as well if you’re free by then. Mia has


    been staying with Barretts for the past three years, after all. I’m sure she’s on good terms with you all,


    so of course we’d like you to attend such a significant event.”


    The socialites nodded. “O–Of course we’reing.” Not everyone deserved a chance to visit Andrews.


    ncing over at Sharon, Eva continued, “Mrs. Barrett, I hope you’ll kindly grace us with your presence


    as well. Guests will be amodated at the hotel. Didn’t you miss the reservation before? Now’s your


    chance to experience it.”


    Sharon looked like someone had just punched the living daylights out of her. She forced a smile and


    replied, “It depends. I might not be free by then.”

    “My schedule is definitely open,” Shelly added instantly, earning a re from Sharon.


    Sharon thought Shellycked dignity. Couldn’t she tell that Eva was clearly mocking their family? Why


    was she so eager to be humiliated?


    Sharon’s interest in Andrews dissipated quickly. Infuriated, she was determined to not let Mia remarry


    Timothy. Thest thing she wanted was to let Mia takeplete charge of the household,


    subsequently


    causing her to lose all her authority.


    The others began discussing the uing banquet that was going to be held at Andrews, which was


    located in Nord City. The upper crust had heard of it, but their attempts to book a reservation there


    were usually in vain, let alone hosting a huge banquet at Andrews. Only prominent figures deserved


    such opportunities despite the rare asions of Andrews catering to such banquets.


    Almost all the socialites swooned over Mia and Eva. Sharon was seething, because no one bothered


    with her except Tabitha and Shelly.
