Chapter 81

Mother-in-law’s birthday celebration.

The party that had been a hot topic since yesterday among the maids in the main house. “Sister-in-law,I’m sorry, the apprenticeship training hasn’t finished yet. I’ll immediately follow you to the building. Sister-in-law, hold up your head. If anyone disturbs you, just write down who he is. I will avenge you.

“If you meet Helen, don’t mind her.

“ru catch up later.’ Serial messages from Jenny to Livia.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry I can’t go together. I will follow you to the building later. “My boyfriend is having athesis trial, and he whines, asking me to wait for him.

“I support you, Sister-in-law. If you meet Helena, don’t mind her. “You are Brother Damian’s, favoritewoman. I will always support you.”

Message from Sophie.

Oh my goodness, these two children are so cute. They really worry about me.

Livia put down her cellphone. Turning to her reflection in the mirror. She’s wearing pretty good makeupnow. Even after only taking makeup classes a few times, her dressing skills seem to have passed thelowest level and are towards excellent development.

This is according to her, you know, don’t measure it by the standard of national makeup expertise.

That’s enough. After all, most of the guests will be socialized. Damian won’t be angry if it’s like thisbecause I dressed up.

If I don’t dress up at her mother’s lavish birthday party, I might get kicked out at the entrance. Liviaconvinced herself to be brave. She believed that Damian would appear dramatically, like on her father’sbirthday. Even though she didn’t know anyone at the party, shouldn ‘t she just have to wait until Jennyand Sophia came?

‘All right, be brave, Livia. Just eat and wait for Jenny and Sophia to come. Never mind mom or Helen.’Livia took the small gift she had prepared for mother.

Don’t expect her mother-in-law to like it too much.

‘Damn it. I want to cry because it’s so tense. It’s even more stressful than the wedding. Because when Igot married, I was with David and my family, I was not this scared. Livia came down the stairs. Thehouse looked deserted. Since this afternoon, the waiters and even Mr. Matt have been assisted at theevent. There were only a few servants and guards living in the main house.

Maya also went to the hotel building. “Young lady, the car is ready.” A guard was already waiting outsidethe entrance, approaching when Livia came out.novelbin

The man nodded politely, not daring to raise his head. The new rule in this house, the young master,forbids the guards or male servants from looking at the Young lady for more than three seconds.

Strange rules are born for reasons.

“If you look at my wife for more than three seconds, she will look even cuter in the fourth second. Soremember that. Pass on to the male servants this new rule. I will fire anyone who violates it withoutwarning. That applies to you too, Mr. Matt.”

“Okay, young master,” Finally, starting that day, the three-second rule applies in this house. All the maidsin the house know this rule, except Livia.

‘Why don’t any of the male servants want to look at me, huh? Am I that bad that they don’t want to seemy face when they talk?’ Livia muttered under her breath as she drove the car out of the yard. When shearrived at the main gate, seeing her car approaching, the gate guard immediately opened the gate. Liviaopened the car door and thanked him.

The gatekeeper replied while lowering his head. ‘He didn’t even want to see me. That’s enough.’

The car broke down the street, heading for the building where the big lady Alexander Group’s birthdaywas taking place.

How luxurious will the party be? Is it possible to beat this country’s birthday party? Livia grimaced tohimself, imagining what kind of party she was going to.

In the middle of the event hall entrance.

Livia looked around for people she knew. Nothing, not even the maids from the main house, were there.“Sorry, Miss, can you show me your invitation?”

‘Invitation?! Damn it. Livia! Mom spoke verbally to invite me at that time. But, wait, is this the beginning ofher trying to embarrass me? Livia, why are you so stupid?’

“I am sorry, I.–” Livia jumped up and didn’t continue her words when someone came and hit thebodyguard on the shoulder.

“Stupid! Don’t you know your own master?”

The bodyguard was shocked when his friend told him about Livia. “Sorry, Young lady, for mycarelessness.” He bowed his head politely. “Lower your head and apologize to the young lady,” said hisfriend again.

The guard who had been fidgeting was confused. “I’m sorry, Young lady, I didn’t recognize you.”

“It’s okay. Don’t scold him. He’s just doing his job.” “Now, Young lady, please follow me.” He showed theway with his hand and then walked slowly in front of Livia. “I seem to have met him before. Yes, maybewe passed each other at home a few times. “Okay. Thank you for bringing me in.” “You’re too polite,young lady.” Again talking without looking at Livia. ‘What are they doing?’ Livia frowned.

*Please enjoy the party.”

“Okay, thank you.” The ballroom is very magnificent. The perfect lighting and flowers make this place likea fairy tale. There was a reflection of light from the clear glasses on the table. There were already manyguests sitting between the tables. Wait, it’s mom’s birthday. I really didn’t enter the wrong building, am I?The glitter of the party synergizes with the glamor of the invited guests. Livia looked at herself. Luckily,she was properly dressed earlier . Otherwise, don’t know how embarrassed she would be now.

The guests have arrived, they show their invitation cards then someone leads them to sit at the table thathas been provided.

“Miss Livia.” A woman with a neat appearance greeted. “I am the secretary’s staff of Mr. Damian. Pleasefollow me.” Livia, who had been confused all this time, felt very grateful.

“Oh, my helper, thank you.’ Livia followed her steps out of the ballroom into the waiting room. “Please,Miss, can you wait in here before the event starts.” Livia entered the room. The secretarial staft justopened the door and did not follow her steps. Inside, she saw her mother-in-law and Helen having awarm conversation.

‘She’s here, huh.’

“Livia, you’ve come.”

Helens was always the first to greet with a warm smile, Then, she took Livia’s hand to sit at the tablewhere Livia’s mother-in-law was also sitting.

The woman had been giving her a disapproving look since Livia entered the door earlier. “Good evening,Mom. Happy birthday.” Livia took out a small gift from her bag. And handed it over to mom.

The woman just smiled sarcastically, accepting it. Then throw, the gift was gathered with a pile of otherexpensive gifts.

Livia stared at the gift that her mother didn’t even open.

‘It’s okay. You already know it’s going to be like this. So don’t be sad.’

“Is Damian coming today?” Helena’s question was directed at Livia.

‘Where do I know!’

Seeing Livia, who was silent, it seemed like Helena felt the need to launch her second attack. “I thoughtas his wife, you would know.” A smirk appeared on her lips.

‘What do you want to say? If I am an unloved wife, a hated daughter-in-law is like that. Sorry, Helena, Idon’t support your existence anymore.’

“Don’t talk to her much. Soon, she will be out of the house. And you will replace her, Helena. So bepatient.”

Listening to Damian’s mother’s words, Helena smiled sweetly,

“I’m sorry, Mom. But now we are in a very happy married life, and you know that. Haha…” Livia laughed.

Mother and Helen’s faces look speechless and sour. But they didn’t speak another word with Livia afterthat.

Helen stopped wearing a smiling face. The excitement of the party is growing when the top artists startsinging cheerful songs. Livia sat at her desk with Jenny and Sophia. Looks very gloomy.

She had heard and received countless pitiful looks for her throughout the show, especially when shecame out of the waiting room. So, instead of her mother-in-law holding her, she took Helena andintroduced the girl with great pride.

“Sister-in-law, don’t mind them. They don’t know the truth. Just let them say whatever now.” Jenny spokevehemently to comfort Livia. “That’s right if they knew for sure, they would be scared because they daredto act like that to Sister-in-law.” Sophia sweetly hugged Livia.

Thank you.’

Several times Livia looked at her cellphone, staring at the entrance, someone she had hoped woulddramatically appear to save her. But until the event ended, nothing seemed.

He didn’t show up as expected. Livia wiped the corners of her eyes, feeling pain and disappointment.

Stupid! Haven’t I reminded you many times to keep your heart from getting hurt? Never expect much.Why did you open your heart and lean on him? Stupid! You’ve depended too much on him. Now youwant him to come to save yourself. Pity!’

Until the end of the party, he still did not appear.

“Sister-in-law, let’s go home together, let the guards bring your car.” Jenny had read the sad anddisappointed lines on Livia’s face. So she didn’t want to leave her alone.

‘My sister-in-law must be very sad. Mother is also very outrageous, and brother Damian, why didn’t youcome?’

“You can go home first. I want to go around looking for some air. I’ll come home later. Don’t worry, gohome with Sophia first.”

Although sad, Jenny finally lets Livia take her own car, leaving the parking lot of the party building. Shefelt terrible, but she realized it was too late because Livia’s car had disappeared in the crowd of otherguests’ cars.

Looks like something terrible is about to happen.
