Chapter 382: Movie

In the evening, Briena was dressed in an expensive branded outfit, looking beautiful from head to toe.

Clara entered the room and was mesmerized by her daughter. "You’re looking so beautiful, Briena," Clara said, observing her with a wide smile. "I’m sure after tonight, so many big producers will line up to sign you for their movies."

"Thank you, Mom," Briena replied. "You’re looking beautiful as well. You must’ve been like me when you were young."

Clara smiled with pride. "So many people were after me, but I didn’t pay attention to everyone. Only your father."

"Then, you could’ve gotten a man even better than Dad," Briena said. "Someone like James Harper, or anyone from those four richest families in the city. Even Caryn managed to get a man like James—so you could’ve gotten someone better too."

"Only if I knew how to seduce those rich men. I was no match for Caryn. Back then, every rich man was after her—including someone like James Harper. I didn’t stand a chance in front of that slut."

"Even her daughter turned out to be like her," Briena said with disdain. "She managed to seduce Justin Harper, and who knows how many others she’s seducing. Both mother and daughter are the same. Whores."

Clara patted her daughter’s shoulder and said, "Don’t spoil your mood over them. After tomorrow, you’ll be more famous than her, and many rich sons from those families will want you. You don’t have to worry."

Ana, who had overheard them, added, "But with Ivan by her side, and everyone knowing they’re engaged, others might not approach Briena."

Clara shrugged. "When rich men have their eyes on a woman, they don’t care if she’s married or engaged." She looked at Briena. "Don’t think too much about Ivan."

Briena nodded. "I know. But since he’s my fiancé, I have to go with him—or people will think I ditched him after getting famous."

"True. We’ll find another way to get rid of him. Don’t worry," Clara assured.

They left to attend the first screening of the movie, where important figures from the film industry were going to be present—along with media personnel eager to capture every moment of the event.

Meanwhile, at the Ford residence, Amelia and Irene were enthusiastically getting ready to attend the movie screening.

"I wish we could be with Ivan and Briena to watch the movie along with the other superstars, but we have to watch it in the screen booked for other guests," Irene said sadly.

"Your brother will be with Briena, what more do you want? Once she marries him, you can show off to others that Briena is your family," Amelia added.

"That’s what’s keeping me sane. I can’t wait for her to be a part of our family. A CEO and a superstar. Ivan must have some good karma from a past life to get her as his wife."

"If he had more good karma, he would have ended up with Natalie, but..."

"It’s okay, Mom. Briena is no less," Irene comforted her.
