Chapter 1070
Mia said, "I've kept it a secret for personal reasons."
Shelly rolled her eyes at Jasmine. "Of course, you're taking Mia's side since you're in league with her. I don't believe that a carefree socialite like her owns Aide Castle Hotel."
"Just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't," Jasmine countered.
Sharon looked at Mia skeptically. "You say you're the hotel's owner. How do you prove it? Are you going to call the former manager, Mike? But how do we know the person you call is him?"
Mia nodded. "You're right. But I don't see any reason to prove my identity to you. It's simply a waste of time, especially since I have a busy evening ahead."
With that, Mia turned and left. She wanted to call someone to deal with Philip.
There couldn't be any slip-ups at the investment banquet. Besides, she had no time to spare with Sharon and Shelly.
Jasmine chimed in, "Mia, you're right. Let's not waste our time on people who don't matter."
Shelly, feeling offended, stepped forward. "What do you mean by 'people who don't matter?' I think Mia's just feeling guilty.
"She can't prove she's the hotel's owner, so she's making excuses to leave. But her lies will be exposed once the guests arrive and the real owner of Aide Castle Hotel shows up. Let's see how she explains it then."
Sharon calmly adjusted her stylish coat and said, "Shelly, there's no need to waste our time on irrelevant people. The guests are all here. You should go and greet them."
Shelly nodded in response.novelbin
After they left, Mia immediately pulled out her phone to call Peyton, "What's going on with the acting manager? Get him replaced right away." Peyton asked respectfully, "Ms. Mia, what happened?"
"The acting manager promised the Barrett family they'd get priority on the reservation list. If this gets out, tonight's event will be a disaster." "Got it, Ms. Mia. I'll handle it and shuffle the staff for the event," he responded.
Mia angrily hung up the phone and double-checked the event venue The food placement problem was fixed. After taking a glance, she felt that everything was in order and breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked up and spotted Sharon and Shelly chatting with a few guests, including a young man around Shelly's age. It looked like a blind date.
Mia wondered why Sharon had suddenly brought Shelly to the event. Didn't Sharon remember how Shelly had embarrassed the Barrett family in public?
At that moment, Jasmine approached her and said, "I just om checked. Shelly is definitely on a blind N date with that man. But it feels more like a business transaction than a romantic setup.
"The man is a nouveau riche, and his
son is into all sorts of unsavory activities like drinking, partying, and gambling No decent family in Nord ve City wants to be associated with them. However, they have high standards and only seek to marry daughters from wealthy families.
"Even though Shelly isn't someone with status, the people of Nord City don't know her background. All they know is she's Timothy's cousin, and that's enough for them to see her as a suitable match."
Mia responded, "Well, my ex-mother-in-law isn't exactly known for her kindness.
Why would she willingly introduce Shelly to these people?"
