Chapter 286
Liana exerted herself for her birthday party. She was no longer her previous sickly self and
mustered all her energy to plan the event.
She called up event venues and made arrangements for the dress and makeup. One
would have thought she was getting ready for an engagement party.
Jasper was not involved in the preparation in any way. Knowing that she was doing much
better, he stopped visiting her at the hospital.
Liana was obviously upset at his indifference. Still, the birthday party remained her top
priority at the moment.
The night before the birthday party, Liana tried on the evening dress she had borrowed
from Rose after much persuasion.
She could not keep the dress from slipping down because the dress had a wider bust. The
two maids were sweating with worry, but they fàiled to keep the dress in place.
“Clumsy losers!Why did we even keep youaround the house?” Liana gave the maids a
shove in the heat of the moment. Her face was flushed.
“Why don’t we … get a tailor to alter thedress? We can also use a few pins to keep the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdress in place,” one of the maids suggested tentatively.
Liana started sweating from the irritation. She refused to admit that she was worried
about the compensation.
She had signed an agreement to borrow the dress, which was worth six figures. If the
dress got dirtied, torn, or altered in any way, she would have to pay Rose five times the
price of the dress.
Putting aside the astronomical amount, she was reluctant to give Rose Emerson a
single cent because that woman was cozy with Alyssa.
“Get me some ta pe right now!”
Soon, the maids hurried back with tape. They plastered the tape in the inner bust area
before putting the dress on Liana. The dress was finally secured.
“Ms. Gardner, you’re clever! This is ahandy trick!” The maids praised her to the skies. She
let out a long si gh with a smug look.
Right then, they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Rosaline showed up in a great
hurry with a tense expression.
“Mom!”Liana’s heart almost stopped atthe sight. She quickly ordered the maids,”Get
going now.”
After the maids scurried out of the room, Rosaline swiftly locked the door from within.
“Mom, how did it go?”Liana went up to
Rosaline urgently, holding the hem of her dress.
“It’s settled.” Rosaline clasped herdaughter’s hand in her palms.
“You’ve been through a lot of trouble.”Liana grabbed Rosaline’s hands tightly with a
serious look.”I will never forget your huge favor. I will pay you back sometime.”
“Sweet child, what are you talking about?You’re my flesh and blood. Of course I will side
with you!” Looking pale but unrelenting, Rosaline replied, “Now that you are back together
with Jasper and received Javier’s support, you are a step away from marriage.
“You can’t give up at this point. I will notallow anyone or anything to stand in the way of
your marriage with Jasper Beckett!”
…
The next day, Liana’s long-awaited birthday party kicked off as the night fell.
The Gardners hosted the guests at the largest ballroom in Berenike Hotel to show off their
close relationship with the Becketts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn top of that, Sophia had invited VIPs from Solana City and across the nation to attend
the party on behalf of Javier. She poured so much effort into the birthday party as though
it was her second wedding.
Meanwhile, the opulent ballroom was filled with melodious music and the rustles of the
luxurious outfits of the guests. The wealthy VIPs in Solana City had attended the event for
Javier.
Although Sophia had been called in for an investigation by the prosecution, she was
proven innocent after Henry Kirkman was revealed to be the culprit.
As a result, she sprang back to life and dressed up to attend the event hand-in-hand with
Javier, chatting merrily with the guests as though nothing had
happened.
“Mr. Javier, Madam Sophia,congratulations to you!”
“It’s my niece’s birthday. You shouldcongratulate her.” Sophia was decked in jewelry and
appeared to be in a good mood.
“Ms. Gardner is Mr. Beckett’s fiancée,isn’t she? I believe we’ll hear some good news from
them pretty soon. That’s why I am congratulating you on the new addition to the Beckett
family!””Hahaha!Thank you!”
