Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 362: Movie And Advice

The next day, the Ford Group arranged a celebratory banquet where all the important people in the city were invited.

Briena was the star of the night, as she was finally someone of important status, and every rich and well-known person wanted to meet her.

"You are looking beautiful, Briena," Clara said as she observed her daughter in a beautiful red, floor-length evening gown, in which she truly looked like a star.

"Thank you, Mom," Briena replied. "Umm... we have invited the Harpers. Will he show up?"

"Justin Harper never shows up anywhere, but we can always hope," Clara answered. "You are one of the most desired socialites in the city now. Who knows, he might change his mind for your sake."

"I hope so," Briena said, fixing her dress one last time. "I hope Natalie shows up and sees me moving ahead despite her plans to ruin my life."

"She will show up since she is one of the shareholders of the company. If not, everyone will just think she is jealous of you," Clara declared. "Alright, time to make your entrance. All the guests have already arrived."

Briena hummed and walked out with her mother.

The party hall was filled with many invited guests as Briena proudly walked down the marble staircase, which was decorated with beautiful flowers and draped decorative cloths attached to its railings.

The emcee announced her arrival, and the hall echoed with a huge round of applause.

In one corner, Mia was still frowning at Natalie. "You dragged me here just to see this bitch’s ugly face plastered with layers of makeup."

"Don’t be rude, Mia. She is, in fact, beautiful. We shouldn’t ignore that fact, even if they are our enemies," Natalie countered, enjoying a sip of fine wine.

Mia scoffed, "My ass can tell you the facts, and it says she remains ugly despite whatever she tries."

"Your ass is indeed talkative," Natalie chuckled playfully.

"It can curse you as well if you don’t get me out of here soon," Mia said angrily.

"Alright, but before that, let me congratulate my sister at least," Natalie said, a wicked glint in her eyes.

The party continued as Sephina introduced Briena to the important figures she would have to deal with as the CEO of the Ford Group.
