Chapter 637
Bethany trembled with anger next to Carrie. Her lips twitched as if she wished to peel Carrie’s skin off,
tear her flesh apart, and drain her
blood. ‘Damn her! Does she think having Ryan to back her up makes
her invincible? The happier she is, the faster she’ll meet her demise!
I’ll make sure of it!’
Although Shannon’s birthday banquet was held in a low-profile
manner, she still leaked information to the media. She believed that
she was born to be in the spotlight. So how could she celebrate her
birthday without attention?
Reporters who caught wind of the news hovered and waited inside
the hotel. Escorted by bodyguards, the Salvador family approached
the banquet hall.
Shannon exuded an air of superiority, adorned with jewels and
radiance, embodying the style of an affluent and elegant woman.
“Mrs. Salvador!”

The reporters swarmed over, snapping photos of the Salvador family.
Gregory felt displeased, but he remained composed and faced the
media alongside his wife, Shannon.
“Mr. Salvador, tonight is your wife’s birthday banquet. The whole family is here, but where is Mr.
Justin?” The reporter skillfully touched
upon the sensitive topics, showcasing their knack for stirring up
trouble.
“Justin had some urgent matters and had to leave in a hurry.” Gregory
smiled faintly, giving a brief and dismissive response.
“Today is the birthday of Ms. Celeste, the third wife of Wyatt
Thompson, chairman of KS Group. Ms. Shannon, your birthday should
be on Wednesday, but you moved it to Sunday. Is it intentional to
coincide with Ms. Celeste? Back in the day, you two were once the leading actresses on the same
platform. There were rumors of
competition and strained relations between the two of you. Haven’t
you let go of past grievances after all these years?”
“Oh my! Is today also Celeste’s birthday? I didn’t know until you mentioned it.” Shannon pretended to
be surprised. She covered her
mouth with a hand adorned with a large diamond ring.
“It seems I may have overlooked that. I should wish her a happy birthday. I chose today because our
families and guests are all sy and can’t spare the time on Wednesday.”
Shannon continued with a smug smile, “After all, we invited many
guests this time. I also took into consideration the schedules of
guests. I made sure everyone had ample time to come and gath
with us.”
“Guests? Have you invited so many guests?”
The journalists exchanged puzzled glances. “We’ve been here waiting for two hours, and we haven’t
seen anyone arriving.”
Shannon was suddenly alarmed. ‘How could this be?’

them had accepted the invitations, promising to attend! Why hadn’t
anyone shown up?!
Shannon forced a cheerful smile, her entire body tense and her heart
pounding like a drum.
“Alright, let’s go inside first,” Gregory urged in a low voice.
As the group walked to the entrance of the banquet hall, the waiter
opened the massive doors.
The next moment, the poised smiles on Gregory and Shannon’s faces
froze.*
Shannon, in particular, turned ashen instantly. She clenched her lower lip tightly, nearly screaming in
dismay.
There were only a handful of guests in the vast and luxurious banquet
hall. The imagined crowd of distinguished guests, dressed in
elegance and grace, was nowhere to be found.
‘Where is everyone? Where did they go?!” Shannon thought.
