Chapter 553

Shelia blinked in disbelief, thinking she was mistaken.

Why was Lindsey here?

Kendra’s expression turned sour.

Memories of the incident at the Perry family’s dinner were still fresh in her mind.

She wondered if Lindsey had come to make a scene again.

Benny’s gaze fixed on Lindsey with a wary expression.

As Lindsey approached them, before she could utter a word, Shelia blurted out, “Lindsey, how on earth did you get in here?”

Lindsey met Shelia’s gaze and replied with a smile, “I was invited, of course.

”

Shelia retorted with a scornful laugh, “Today’s banquet is attended by the elites of business and aristocracy.

What right do you have to be here?”

“I don’t qualify, so your little company on the verge of bankruptcy does?” With a smile on her face, Lindsey looked at the three people and said, “You must realize that if I’m here, it means I’ve been invited just like you.

”

“Who sent you the invitation?” Benny question with a stern expression.

Lindsey glanced at Benny and casually said, “It was none other than a director from LMH Group.

”

Benny’s whole body froze in disbelief.

The thought of someone as elite as an LMH Group director knowing Lindsey and inviting her to the event seemed inconceivable.

Benny suspected she was merely joking.

Shelia couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Lindsey, do you really expect us to buy into your absurd story?”

Kendra replied with an icy tone, “Lindsey, too many lies will only make you a laughingstock.

It’s one thing to embarrass yourself, but don’t drag our family down with you.

”

Family? Lindsey sneered, her lips curling slightly.

Kendra saw herself as part of the family now.

And Lindsey was just an outsider.

The people around couldn’t help but chuckle when they heard Lindsey’s words.

Among them were CEOs of multinational corporations and notable business figures.

None of them could receive a personal invitation from a director of the LMH Group.

So, how could this young woman they didn’t know claim such a thing?

They assumed she was only seeking attention, trying to latch onto power with her exaggerated claims.

They viewed Lindsey with scorn.

Seeing the crowd start to mock Lindsey, Shelia was visibly pleased and stood tall.

“Lindsey, the director of LMH Group, is esteemed and busy.

How could they invite you, a small business owner, personally?”

“Why not?”

Right after Shelia wrapped up her statement, a composed and stern voice chimed in abruptly.

Shelia and the onlookers turned their heads to spot none other than Anti, the founder of Cherish!

Leonel was right behind her.
