My Dad Please Come 57

Chapter 57

As soon as Wendy stepped through the door, no one bothered to greet her. She stood quietly to the side, feeling completely out of place amidst the lively atmosphere.

Lilian's voice broke the silence. "Wendy, you're back."

Everyone turned their attention toward her, their eyes locking onto Wendy in unison.

Edith's smile immediately vanished. A look of disdain crossed her face. "Why is Wendy back?"

Lilian chuckled lightly. "Mom, it's your birthday today. I asked Wendy to come."

Edith's tone soured. "I don't need her here. Look at Trish and Jessica-how impressive they are! And then look at Wendy. She's just a country bumpkin with no standing. She can't even hold her own in a room like this. She's nothing but a disgrace at my birthday celebration!"

It was clear Edith had no love for Wendy.

Tonight, Jessica and Trish had both done their makeup to perfection, competing to outshine each other. They cast a condescending glance at Wendy before sweetly addressing Edith.

"Grandma, it's fine. Wendy's back, after all. She's your granddaughter. You can't just kick her out, can you?" Jessica said.

"Grandma, today's your special day. Don't let something like this ruin it," Trish added with a smile.
