Chapter 98 After stepping outside, she couldn't help but feel giddy with excitement. She told everyone she ran into that the CEO was going to attend her birthday party. She'd even invited most of the secretarial department. Everyone were pretty surprised.
Lisa, the pampered daughter of the Meadows family, had been the talk of the office since her first day. Everyone knew that instead of staying in her family's empire, she'd chosen to work here as a secretary assistant to get close to Connor. But, frankly, nobody thought much of her.

Everyone figured the CEO's future wife would be from the elite Eldridge circle, someone with a matching pedigree. A small-town lady like Lisa could barely hope to catch his eye.
Secondly, well, Lisa's personality was a bit... let's just say she wasn't exactly high society material.
However, once word got out that the CEO had agreed to attend her party, the flattery began. The women in the secretarial department were clearly envious, and seven sarcastically called her "future Mrs. Sartori." Lisa felt like she was floating on air all day.

Lisa's intentions were clear as day. She'd used Leah's nto give Chloe a plain, modest dress, probably to make sure she wouldn't outshine her at the party.
Not that Chloe had any plans to steal her spotlight.
So, the next evening, she wore that white dress to the banquet hall on the 87th floor of Cloud Top. Cloud Top had 88 floors, with the top floors reserved for banquet halls. The top-floor hall was most impressive, surrounded by glass 1 walls and topped with a transparent glass dome. The view wansparent breathtaking. With a view of the moon above and the city below, you felt like you were standing on top of the world and could reach out and touch the stars. That was how Cloud Top got its name.

recent online rumors about the real and fakehe Meadows ve family.
The story of the true and fake daughters was no secret among Riverbrook's elite, even though the Meadows family had tried to handle it discreetly.

The older ladies of Riverbrook knew Ann and Leah weren't just friends. They used to be the best of BFFs. X
