Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 432

The night of the charity auction at KS World Hotel did not disappoint.

Neither KS Group nor MINT had put much effort into promoting the event. But the local news media and netizens were still all over it like bees to honey, given it was in the name of charity. MINT was an internationally renowned magazine, after all. Anyone would kill to be featured, even an international celebrity.

The event was filled with famous superstars that evening, from actors to singers to models. The hotel security was in full action, keeping the peace in and outside the venue. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The guests cooperated as well, making sure to quickly make their way inside the hotel once they'd greeted their fans.

When a limousine drove up to the hotel entrance, the commotion increased.

Out came Sophia and Betty, dressed like sequined peacocks in elegant gowns.

Unlike the other wealthy heiresses who arrived via the back entrance or the VIP lane, they chose to face the hundreds of flashing camera lights centered on the red carpet.

They behaved as though they were vampires, vanishing from existence the moment someone ceased taking photographs of them.

"Look, isn't that Liana Gardner's aunt?" someone yelled over the commotion.

Sophia's face contorted. She had spent decades shrugging off titles like "outdated actress" and "gold-digging mistress" to establish herself as the revered Madam Sophia Kirkman, wife of Javier Beckett, CEO of Beckett Group.

But all that effort had gone to waste because of her good-for-nothing niece, Liana!

"It really is her!"

"Wasn't she the one who got taken in for money laundering?"

"Yeah! She was released later, though. Tsk. Who knew Solana City would have such a devious character."

"Does she think we've lost our memory? She has some balls to still show her face in person here. Javier Beckett should really keep a tight leash on her."

"Every time I look at her, I'm reminded of how she reprimanded Liana Gardner on her birthday celebration, followed by Liana's outburst."

"Hahahah! She looked so dumbfounded then!"

Sophia's face was red now. If it weren't for Betty's help, she might never have been able to walk into the hotel.

She thought the public would have forgotten about that by now.

Regrettably, certain humiliations cut so deep that they appeared etched onto one's countenance, instantly reminding anyone of the incidents.

Her meticulously guarded self-esteem had been shattered, all thanks to that troublesome Liana.

The two women quickly walked into the hotel, faces ashen.

"Maybe you should keep a low profile from now on, Mom," Betty murmured, "Look. People are all making fun of you. And you're dragging me into it too. It's really embarra―"

"Are you accusing me of embarrassing you, Betty Beckett?" Sophia cried, pinching her daughter's arm.

Sophia continued, "I didn't bat a single eyelash when I married your father, not even when everyone called me names and insulted me endlessly.

"Yet now you find me embarrassing? If I didn't cling onto Javier all the years ago, you wouldn't have enjoyed such a wonderful life!"
