The long-awaited day arrived, Ahren wore a dress that showed her body more elegantly, she chose a calm colour so as not to look arrogant. After putting on and decorating her face with the help of the servants there, she was finished and getting ready to leave.Ahren looked around but couldn't see her husband while Elle was waiting at the door."What are you looking for, Ahren?" She, too, was dressed up, and she was the one who would be accompanying her son to the extravagant party. Obviously, she would show off being there, not everyone could get invited to the Arnould family company's party.Ahren was still searching, she moved her head right to the left and finally gave up, she chose to look at her mother. "I want to find Clayton's whereabouts, have you seen him?" Ahren asked."What are you looking for him for? We're not going to invite him because it would only embarrass us if we invited a useless person like him." Elle emphasized her sentence, exhaling from her mouth. She couldn't
The atmosphere in the party venue was filled with luxurious things, they liked that the people in this room meant they were the chosen ones to be here. They were wearing their best clothes and adorning themselves with jewellery.Clayton stopped, and he took in his surroundings. At that moment, he saw Ahren, who was completely ignoring him. Tiara didn't want Clayton to leave her, but the man moved towards his wife with quick footsteps."You will receive good news today. You will get great respect from people who usually insult you." Clayton smiled while Ahren looked at him coldly.Ahren moved her head, avoiding looking at her husband. "Don't you know the shame of going out with a woman here but acting like you don't want a divorce from me?"Clayton's eyebrows twitched, the situation would indeed make people suspicious. And he spoke calmly, replying to his wife's words. "Hm, I already told you that I have a secretary. And that woman is my secretary, I'll introduce her to you later."Ahr
Ahren was surprised, she noticed the surrounding people staring at them with astonishment and expressions that were not happy at this state of affairs.Austin pointed at him rudely, making an ugly expression. "You really have no idea that what you're doing is so despicable. Back off, because you don't belong here." Austin pushed Ahren who didn't move away in shock, which made Clayton immediately catch Ahren.He cared for his wife so that Austin moved quickly and was now on the stage, he made a very confident expression."Earlier I wanted to apologize to Madam Camila for the mess, but as Ahren's older cousin, I came here to apologize. "Everyone there was astonished, they looked at each other because this was very strange.Camila made an expressionless face and coldly asked, she didn't like Austin. "What does that mean?"Austin smiled, he looked at Ahren who was far ahead of him looking surprised. "My cousin is a person who has never led anything in her life and he only recently took on
Austin cursed inwardly. All the things he thought made him okay instead turned around to attack him in unpleasant conditions. He saw several people from the distant Astor family in front of him. There was Bella and also his uncle there. They all just stared at Austin without offering any help.It was a very tricky situation; he couldn't do anything, and he had to answer the words of the woman who asked him this. Austin tried to be calm, but he showed that he was not calm in front of the others."Hey! Why isn't he answering Madame Camila's words right away?" A woman who was there looked at her lover. This was looking even more interesting. The lover next to her smiled."It's possible that Austin Astor is a fraud. He didn't make the project at all. He just wants to control it." Hearing that, Austin became rash, and he immediately shouted about his project."Shut up all of you, you don't know anything. The project I'm making is of course a project about technological development, it's go
Ahren was pleased because he had proven that he could work with the Arnould family. The people who were there applauded. After receiving the cooperation when she came down, her mother immediately ran up to her and hugged her."I'm so happy about this! You've proven that you have extraordinary abilities that not even the other Astor family members have." Elle deliberately said it in a big voice because she realized the Astor family members were not too far from her. "Even they get a lot of luxuries in the Astor family, this child of mine with all limited things can beat them." Elle deliberately touched her mouth and chuckled.Flori who was there, was irritated by Elle's actions. She squeezed her hand and complained right there. "Damn it, she's so arrogant right now. She thought she would be in this position forever. She hasn't gotten anything like that in quite a while."She didn't like Elle even getting happy things like this, as did the rest of the family. Bella was silent there beca
Clayton didn't want it to get any more outrageous, but he also knew that things like this couldn't be let go, especially since other people were trying to interfere in his domestic affairs."I'm telling the truth." Clayton finally called Tiara who was behind him, Tiara moved forward with an uncomfortable feeling. She had occasionally heard remarks from them that clearly demeaned Clayton. Tiara had also found out about the condition of her master's household, she thought that being in that family, Clayton did not get the respect he deserved."Ahren, she is my secretary."Clayton looked at Tiara briefly and then back at Ahren who looked surprised by Clayton's statement; she didn't expect that her husband would even dare to directly introduce a woman in front of her.Tiara, knowing that the situation was not too good for her boss, politely bowed slightly as she greeted Ahren in a soft voice. "Good evening Miss Ahren, I am Tiara, secretary to Mr. Clayton, at the Savvy Company."Everyone b
The party had just finished, they decided to head back home immediately, and of course they were feeling much better than before. Clayton held Ahren's hand, the woman looked shy when held by her husband like that. while Ellw looked at her with a gaze that still looked cynical.But he could not forbid Clayton from holding his son's hand again after knowing the position Clayton had was a high position. which even Marley could not reach. Occasionally he grumbled at the back, these two were still following them."How strange that Mr. Clayton still wants to be with her? Just look at his mother-in-law who doesn't know herself, always protesting when she hasn't done anything." Tiara who was left behind by Clayton complained, she was also a little annoyed by Clayton's actions.Clayton left here with her but she was left behind, it was only natural that she put on a sour face. "Mr. Clayton, you should realize this soon, continuing to be with them is not a good thing." Tiara exhaled from her mo
Ahren immediately looked back at her uncle. "Of course I want to be the next patriarch of the Astor family. And as Uncle said before since I won this bet I deserve to be the head of the Astor family." Ahren emphasized her sentence, she was so fed up with all the trouble that happened today.But all she got was laughter from her cousins and Astor family members."You're being hilarious." Bella stares at Ahren, even before Ahren knows Bella dislikes her and hates her, she only wants Ahren's destruction.They both stared at each other. "You should know yourself if you want to be the leader of the Astor family, you do as Uncle says. but you just don't want to do it and you still expect to be the next leader?" Bella raised one eyebrow. "You're so funny and ignorant."Ahren could not reply to their words quickly, she was even in shock that her family had such a vile attitude."So you're not going to give Ahren the title of heir?" Clayton who asked this time, looked at them one by one and sto
