Chapter 182
Ada’s first visit to Elmsworth created quite a stir. With the ma**ive promo from Abemathy Hotel, it was all over the news, all about this global superstar and th e hotel she was staying in.
The Abernathy Hotel had been in hot water recently, getting a bad rep left and r ight.
Bad press can bring attention, but for Abernathy Hotel, it’s a disaster they can’t afford.
For decades, Abernathy Hotel had been top– notch, hosting VIPS from all walks of life, politics, economics, culture, sports, yo u name it. Even the previous President Windhelm would crash here every time h e visited Elmsworth.
But for the past half year, they had been in a downward spiral. Now, the Abernat hy Hotel only reminded people of Thaddeus’s scandal and Acacia’s cheap stunt s. Reputation took years to build and seconds to break.
So, Thaddeus throwing all resources to get Ada here was a desperate attempt to save their image.
He really needed a win this time, more than anyone.
Six p.m.
Fans and reporters were swarming outside the hotel to catch a glimpse of Ada.
They even rolled out the red carpet. Fancy stuff.
“I’m Ada’s biggest fan! I’ve seen all seven of The Evil March! Ten years fiew by! I’ m finally going to see my goddess!”
“In Elmsworth, no hotel does it better than Abernathy Hotel! Sure, the K Orld Ho tel is okay, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Abernathy Hotel in terms of fame, fac ilities, and equipment!”
“But the recent moves from Abernathy Hotel are hard to swallow.”
“Still, they’re the top dog in the hotel game! Ada choosing to stay here is a clear nod to Abernathy Hotel’s prowess!”
The b*dyguard opened the door of the stretched Lincoln.
Tonight’s star, Ada, stepped out to the cheers of her fans.
Ada was of mixed heritage, with curly chestnut hair and sharp features. Standin g at 5.7 feet, her long legs and broad shoulders made her stand out in a crowd.
This was her first time in Elmsworth. She underestimated the pa**ion of her fans , so she was in a great mood. The usually aloof superstar even waved to her fans
with a smile.

“Oh my gosh, how does she not age? She’s stunning!”
Protected by her agent and b*dyguards, Ada strode into the hotel and took the private elevator to the banquet hall.
Thaddeus and Gordon were waiting outside. Seeing Ada, Thaddeus walked up coolly and shakes her hand.
“Miss Ada, welcome to Elmsworth.”
Tonight, Thaddeus was as dapper as ever, exuding an air of elegance and luxury.
He had got a strong presence, standing toe to toe with the star.
“Hello, Mr. Thaddeus.” Ada shook his hand.
“First time in Elmsworth, how are you finding it?”
“My mother is from Elmsworth, Windhelm, so this city holds a special place in my heart. This may b e my first time here, but I’m already in love.”
Thaddeus’s charisma and great conversation skills put Ada at ease. They walked into the banquet hall, laughing and chatting.
The hall was filled with celebrities, a dazzling sight.
Ada’s arrival caused quite a stir. Even top stars couldn’t contain their exciteme nt and rushed to take pictures with her.
After all, she was the kind of A–lister they only see at the Oscars or Cannes!
And almost all the female stars were throwing longing looks at the handsome Mr . Thaddeus.
Now that the former “gatekeeper” Acacia was out of the picture; many of Elmsw orth’s high society ladies and rich heiresses were trying to marry Thaddeus. He was the real deal, a successful man. The rest were just wannabes.
Elspeth and Glynnis, members of the Abernathy family, were standing to the sid e with champagne, relegated to the background, their gloomy faces not hidden
by their fiawless makeup.
“Mom, we’re also part of the Abernathy family. Why are we just extras for Thadd eus?”
Glynnis grumbled unhappily, and Elspeth’s face tightened even more.
As the wife of the chairman of the Abernathy Group and a former movie star, she was used to the spotlight. Being sidelined w as not something she could stomach. So Elspeth put on a fake smile and sashay ed over to Thaddeus and Ada.
“Miss Ada, I’ve heard so much about you. Meeting you today is truly extraordinary.”
“Who is this?” Ada asks Thaddeus.
“I am Elspeth, the wife of the chairman of the Abernathy Group.” Elspeth introdu ced herself, chin held high with a touch of arrogance.
“Well, Mr. Thaddeus, I’m not interested in who she is. So let’s go! Ada didn’t eve n glance at Elspeth.
Elspeth could only understand that Ada was not care about her.
Just as she was about to introduce herself again, Thaddeus chuckled, “We’re on the same page. I also don’t plan to introduce you to irrelevant people.” That leaved Elspe th completely dumbfounded.
But at this moment, Ada could hear the buzzing laughter and chatters around h er loud and clear.
“Whoa, Ada is straight up calling out Elspeth. Girl’s got some serious guts! Thoug ht she was just a good actress, but turns out this is her real personality!”
“LOL, this is too good! Ada’s an international star, she couldn’t care less about t he domestic market, let alone Elspeth!”
“That’s true, Elspeth can’t fiex her power in front of Ada!”
Elspeth’s face was a changing canvas of emotions as she heard the mocking wor ds, her eye wrinkles deepening.
But being someone who cared a lot about face, how could she swallow these sarcasm? She immediately retort ed with a forced smile, “Miss Ada, you should be aware, our hotel and the K Orld Hotel have always been competitors. Your presence at our banq uet tonight is an endorsement of the Abernathy Hotel. As the hostess of the Aber nathy Group, I feel very honored.”
Thaddeus looked indifferent and aloof.
The hostess of the Abernathy Group? She sure knew how to pump up her own wo rth.
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
Gordon scurried to translate Elspeth’s words to Ada.
“No, I think you may have misunderstood.” Ada shook her head after hearing, “T he K Orld Hotel and Abernathy Hotel are both excellent hotels. My choice to att end the Abernathy Hotel banquet
is not because you guys are better than K Orld Hotel, but because Mr. Thaddeus impressed me with his actions and charisma.” Elspeth’s cheeks fiushed immedi ately upon hearing this, as if she had been slapped in the face.
Ada might seem arrogant and brash, but she was actually very smart.

This would not only belittle K Orld Hotel, offend one of the Fortune 500 compani es, but also leave herself no way out, forcing Abernathy Hotel to continue hostin g her wedding
She wasn’t that dumb to fall into Elspeth’s trap!
In a slightly depressing atmosphere, the banquet hall door opened.
Edith, wearing a luxurious bright pink evening gown, walked in gracefully like a f airy, catching everyone’s eyes.
“Isn’t she the famous pianist Christian’s student?”
“She’s not just a female pianist, she’s also the sister of Mr. Jareth from the Fairha ven group!”
“Mr. Jareth’s sister?! So she’s going to be my future sister–in–law?”
“So who’s my sister–in– law? Glynnis? Hmm, not a big fan of that woman, just seeing her annoys me.” Gly nnis suddenly sneezed.
Seeing Edith, her eyes scanned the room like a radar, frantically looking for Jare th.
However, her hope ended in disappointment. She felt like she and Mr. Jareth just weren’t meant to be.
Edith was over the moon when she saw all eyes were on her instead of Ada.

Actually, the main reason she insisted Thaddeus let her play the piano was to quickly make a name for herself in Elmsworth’s high society, so people would remember her.
She didn’t want people to think of her brother Jareth whenever the Fairhaven fa mily was mentioned. She too was dazzling and unforgettable!
Edith lifted her long skirt, step by step towards Thaddeus, a sweet smile on her beautiful face.
However, Thaddeus just calmly watched her, his indifferent attitude made her u neasy.
Suddenly, there was a resolute and decisive sound of high heels from outside th e door.
Click, click, click.
Such a familiar sound!
Thaddeus’s heart tightened instantly, his eyes glued to the door.
His breathing became erratic in an instant.
