Chapter 27: Chapter 27

“I will not apologize to Gianna,” Bernice screamed in the living room.

“I’m serious,” Caesar didn’t want to hear Bernice’s explanation.

“Gianna beats me up, and you want me to apologize? She should apologize!”

“She didn’t, and you’re making up stories,” Caesar said.

“She did! Why didn’t you believe me? Maureen and Gianna attacked me!” Bernice panicked.

“Gianna was polite and gentle. She wouldn’t have attacked you.”

“She did! She did!” Bernice made a scene in the living room. She would never expect Caesar wouldn’t believe in her.

“I’m sick of your screams. Apologize to Gianna tomorrow.”

“No!”

“Bernice, do you want to make our family go bankrupt?”

“We probably should!” Bernice replied capriciously.

Lindsay got a hold of the whole story. She threatened Bernice, “Stop acting like a brat, or I’m going to get angry with you too.”

“Mother, why didn’t you believe me too?”

“I don’t care if what you said was true. Go apologize to Gianna tomorrow.”

“Mother!” Bernice was upset, and she cried.

“It doesn’t mean anything even if Gianna did attack you. It’s the priority for our family and for your brother to marry Gianna. You have to butter her up since you’re the one who offended her. You can do whatever you want to only after she married your brother. Before that, you better put on a mask when you see her.”

Bernice felt aggrieved, and she kept crying.

“Bernice, you’re not a kid now. You have to set your priorities right. Don’t worry. Even if you apologize to Gianna tomorrow, I will help you to get even with her.”

Bernice didn’t want to listen to what Lindsay said at all. She kept crying and crying.

“It’s Fiona’s 50th birthday tomorrow. I will put shame on her,” Lindsay consoled Bernice, “Her daughter bullied you, and I will make her pay.”

Bernice wiped her tears, “What would do you that?”

“Fiona had a bad taste in fashion all along. I will put on my best dress tomorrow and steal the limelight from her. You see, Fiona and I are the future in-laws, and people constantly comparing us to each other. When people started talking, Fiona would feel ashamed for sure. I wonder what gives her the courage to organize a birthday party for herself at the age of 50.” Lindsay felt disgusted.

In the society of the upper class, the male chauvinism was obvious.

Lindsay was jealous of Fiona for being able to organize the 50th birthday of her own.

Lindsay always had the higher ground amongst the rich wives’ circle.

Lindsay had a husband that loved her very much, a capable son and an obedient daughter. All the rich wives were trying to butter her up. Therefore, Lindsay saw herself as better than other people.

Even so, Lindsay never had a birthday party organized for herself, nor inviting people from the upper class with her husband’s name to attend her birthday party. However, Fiona, who was nobody in the rich wives’ circle all along, organized a grand birthday party for herself. It disgusted Lindsay.

Tomorrow, Lindsay will let Fiona knew that if she shouldn’t humiliate herself when she is a nobody.

...

On the next day...

During the afternoon...

After lunch...

The living room of the Morris manor crowded with people.

Fiona was surprised.

After all, Fiona didn’t know anything about the birthday party.

Fiona was confused when she saw the event crew setting up.

“We’re celebrating your birthday with father, right? So I planned to give him a surprise with you,” Gianna got her story well-planned.

“Silly child. We have a birthday every year. There’s no need for surprises. Don’t startle your father.”

“He won’t be,” Gianna looked unhappy. She said, “Now, go enjoy your facial treatment, put on your makeup and get changed.”

“You really like to mess around.”

“Hurry,” Gianna rushed her mother to follow the event crews.

“Aren’t you coming with me?” Fiona asked.

Gianna would usually follow Fiona when the beauticians came for door-to-door services.

“I don’t need it. I’m born pretty,” Gianna cracked a joke.

Fiona laughed, “You’re shameless.”

“Go now. I’ll catch up and get changed with you.”

“Alright,” Fiona couldn’t stand her daughter nagging her. So, she left with the event crew.

After Fiona was gone.

Gianna quickly informed the event crews in-charging the decoration of the party that Fiona was getting ready. At the same time, she made a call to her father and told him to get ready.

It was a busy afternoon.

After Gianna made sure everything was proceeding according to her plan, she went into her mother’s room.

Fiona just came out of a facial treatment a few seconds ago.

Her cheek looked smooth and supple. It was like the skin of the young girl.

“Mother, how do you maintain your skin? It’s looked so perfect,” Gianna praised Fiona.

“You’re right. She has the best skin complexion among all our customers at her age,” the beautician quickly complimented Fiona, but it was a truth as well, “, I’ll think she’s only in her 30s if we didn’t know about her age earlier.”

“I know you guys are only sweet-talking,” Fiona felt shy.

“It’s true. You don’t only have a perfect skin complex, you also have a well-maintain figure. You looked like a young girl from the back.”

“Ah, stop it. I’m not as good as you said,” Fiona’s face flushed red.

Gianna thought her mother was adorable.

It was her father’s luck to be married to her mother.

“Is she going to change into her gown?” Gianna asked an event crew.

“We are going to change her now,” the crew quickly answered.

At the same time.

The crew took out a long black gown. There were melee diamonds all over it. The melee diamonds looked like the twinkling stars in the night sky- so pretty that you can’t look at the gown for too long.

“Isn’t it flashy?” Fiona looking at the gown and felt surprised.

“It should be flashy. You’re going to charm my father till he can’t take his eyes off of you.”

“We’re an old couple. There’s no need to do all these,” Fiona felt uncomfortable, “Change to something simpler. Don’t scare your father.”

“I designed the gown,” Gianna said.

It hit Fiona’s soft spot.

Fiona knew Gianna was into designing since she was a child and that Gianna was gifted. However, the Morris family never told anyone that Gianna won an international prize as they wanted to stay low profile. Fiona felt like she couldn’t turn Gianna’s offer down when she saw Gianna’s disappointing face.

“Mother, please wear it,” Gianna looked forward to Fiona wearing the gown she designed.

Fiona felt resigned and replied with a smile, “Of course I will. It’s my daughter’s design.”

Then, Fiona followed the crew into the dressing room to get changed.

The moment Fiona walked out of the dressing room in the gown.

Gianna was surprised by how pretty her mother looked.

Fiona’s perfect figure and the charm only a mature woman had.

Fiona looked noble and elegant, at the same time, very charming.
