NovelEnglishAlthough Sharon recognized Jasmine, she merely stood by and watched Shelly make a fool of herself.
A hint of amusement flickered across her eyes. She resented Shelly for leeching off their family.
But Sharon couldn't do anything as well. The Barrett family hadn't split up, and Timothy was in charge of the family. Still, she couldn't let Shelly embarrass herself any further. The Barrett family's reputation would be tarnished if word got out.
She smoothly intervened, "Ms. Shelbert, Shelly rarely visits Nord City, so she isn't familiar with the people here. If she offended you, please kindly forgive her." "It's better for her to refrain from going out if she doesn't know how to speak. Not everyone is as forgiving as I am. As an adult, she has to be responsible for her words and actions, right?" Jasmine snapped.
Shelly was seething. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to argue with Jasmine before the public's eyes. She had more important matters to handle in Nord City, after all.
She turned to Mia and sneered, "Mia, since you're here for the investment banquet, are you thinking of working with Aide Castle Hotel as well?" Amused, Mia said, "That's none of your business." "Forget it, Mia. You're just a spoiled rich bitch. If you actually partnered with Aide Castle Hotel, you'll make them look bad." Mia smirked. "You can't decide who Aide Castle Hotel wants to work with." "Indeed, but us Barretts are going to work with Aide Castle Hotel soon. Your family should stop daydreaming. No one can compete with us in Bern City." A cold glint flashed in Mia's eyes. "Really? We'll see." Sharon interjected, "Enough, stop talking to her. You're going to put Tim in a difficult situation if you leak any information." Shelly nodded hastily. "Alright, Aunt Sharon. But can you introduceto the owner of Aide Castle Hotel later? I'd like to host my birthday party here next time. The resort in Bern City is booked out for the next two or three years, so I was just wondering if I could cut in line?" Aide Castle Hotel was a sensation in Bern City, and hosting banquets there was a mark of high status. Shelly yearned to host a party there.
Sharon replied coolly, "Fine, I'll talk to the owner and see if I can fit you in once Tim secures the deal with Aide Castle Hotel." Elated, Shelly exclaimed, "Really? Thank you so much, Aunt Sharon! I knew you were the best." Sharon took her hand and cooed, "Of course. You and Tim are the only youngsters in our family." Seeing how affectionate Sharon was toward Shelly, Mia was perplexed She remembered Sharon had never been fond of Shelly back then, e loathing her family for leeching off the Barrett family. Something didn't feel right. Why did Sharon suddenly bring Shelly along with her? Mia began calmly, "According to my knowledge, Aide Castle Hotel's reservation system is very strixThey don't allow queue jumping regardless of your connections."
