Chapter 291

Liana was aware of the gossiping. Nonetheless, she lifted her chin like a graceful swan without any

hint of anger.

The ladies could talk as much as they wanted. At the end of the day, they would look up to her as

she started her amazing new life!

“Jasper, look!" Landon widened his eyeswhen he saw the trending topics on Twitter. He hurriedly

showed his phone to Jasper.

The top trending hashtag,#engagement, was an eyesore to Jasper.

“I'm shell-shocked.” Stunned, Landonhissed in Jasper's ear, “I thought you said you'd break up with

Liana? Why did your stepmo m announce your engagement instead? You're even on trending

topics!

"Uncle Javier isn't against the

engagement, it seems. What's going on? Are you still with her or not?”

Jasper felt his ears buzzing. His body and fingers stiffened. Like a pulled bow, he was close to a

breakdown.

All of a sudden, the screen that was filled with falling pink petals switched to total darkness.

"Huh? What's wrong?”

“Is there a power cut? Or is the screenbroken?”

Amid the confusion, the screen lit up again, this time with a photo of a young girl. The girl was

petite and all bones. Her hair was messy, and her outfit was ragged. Her face was stained with tears

and snot. One couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Oh my god! Whose kid is that? Poor littlething!”

“Is Ms. Gardner raising funds for charityat her party? I'll make a donation—I'm

into doing charity!”

Liana and Sophia realized that something had gone wrong when they sensed the commotion in the

audience. They spun around to look at the screen.

"W-What's that?” Sophia was startled.

"Who's that dirty-looking kid? Whywould that photo show up at my birthday party? Did the

backstage staff play the wrong photo? Liana gaped at the girl in the photo in confusion.

Rosaline was the only one to turn pale. She shot up from her seat and pointed at the screen,

howling, “What's going on? Turn it off! Turn off the screen!”

The people around Rosaline turned to her, shocked by her outburst. Even Javier Beckett and Andrew

Gardner were puzzled by her unwarranted reaction to the screen display.

"Why turn it off?” a hoarse male voicerang out from the audience. Liana looked

in the direction of the voice and almost screamed when she saw Curtis’ wicked face.

Liana's dress was drenched in sweat. She couldn't help but tremble from head to toe. Her

expression froze up, unable to express any emotion.

Curtis took a few steps forward into a brightly lit spot in a thuggish manner. The hooligan

immediately attracted all the attention.

"A family must be complete. You'reenjoying the high life here, dolled up and eating good, all while

this poor child was starving and beaten up in a Mosgravian orphanage. Liana Gardner, don't you

ever feel bad for your daughter?”
