Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 189

Vanessa smiled warmly and said, "I'm here with my best friend to attend her mother-in-law's birthday celebration."

As she spoke, she playfully tugged on Mrs. Foster's arm, pleading, "Sweetie, since you're the daughter-in-law, could you also let Brian come in with us?"

Brian? The way she called his name so affectionately suggested she had a soft spot for him.

Mrs. Foster chuckled and gave Vanessa's hand a gentle pat. Then, turning to the security guard with a serious expression, she said, "Aberdeen is my mother-in- law. Are you really going to stop me from entering?"

The guard quickly switched to a friendlier demeanor upon hearing this. "Of course, I wouldn't dare stop anyone from the Foster family. However, proper procedure still needs to be followed. Since you're part of the Foster family, you should have an invitation, right?"

Mrs. Foster, not wasting any words, retrieved a golden invitation from her purse.

While other guests had red invitations, those belonging to the Foster family were gold. The guard, after carefully inspecting it, immediately displayed a servile smile and said, "Madam, please, go right ahead."

Mrs. Foster tilted her chin up slightly, exuding an air of superiority. "These two are friends I've invited. They'll be coming in with me."
