Chapter 189

Seriously? Edith has managed to get her hands on a piece of jewelry even Ada, the top dog in the jewelry game, couldn’t snag?

Glynnis was shocked but played it cool and complimented. “Wow, Edith, you’re really something! If you can score Alea’s jewelry, Ada will surely come back to us. That way, we can get back at Evadne and do Thaddeus a solid. Plus, it’s gonna make you look like a hero in the Abernathy family. Your relationship with Thaddeus is bound to take a huge leap forward.”

Edith laughed with joy. “So we must snatch this project from Evadnel”

Glynnis agreed verbally, but her mind was working on something else

She didn’t want to help Thaddeus out. They weren’t exactly siblings. But this could be her moment to shine, and if she could snag the project lead from Thaddeus, she could really make a splash and impress her father, helping her mom’s declining reputation

And Edith was just the sidekick!

At this thought. Glynnis was thrilled. Her eyes sparkled with desire and her cheeks flushed.

“What a crap night! Thaddeus left halfway and my brother didn’t show up. It’s just terrible! I’m going to cut ties with him!” Edith complained, starting to throw a

tantrum

“Edith, your brother did come tonight. He just left again, Glynnis said coldly

“When?”

“When you were playing the piano. And not only that, he brought my little sister Marilla with him tonight. Thanks to Mr. Jareth’s company, my sister had the time of her life and was in the limelight.” Glynnis chuckled.

“Who? Your sister? That dimwit?”

Edith was shocked, unable to a**ociate her brother with Marilla, that imbecile.

She knew Marilla very well.

They were cla**mates in a prestigious girls‘ school back in middle school.

“Edith, I’m facing a double whammy even before I set foot in the Fairhaven family.” Glynnis sighed with frustration, her eyes filled with coldness, “Your brother might have feelings for my sister”

“What? That dimwit, she’s worthy of Jareth?” Edith stood up in anger, knocking over her wine gla**, her big eyes wide in disbelief.
