Listening to the murmurs around her, Katelyn smirked with satisfaction. She didn't believe that under these circumstances, the Sullivan family. members would dare to kick our Marina and her
Just as she smugly settled into her seat. Jasmine's voice cut through the air. "Who told you to sit Isere?"
Jasmine rarely showed anger in public, but her cousin had pushed her too far. If she didn't react now, Katelyn would think the Sullivan family was an easy target
Katelyn had bullied Cynthia before and now she was attempting to guilt-trip Jasmine. While her tactics might work on others, they wouldn't with the Sullivan family. Considering the Sullivan family's current status, no one present today would risk offending them to speak up for Katelyn.
Thinking her tactics were effective, Katelyn paid no mind to her cousin's anger and continued to play the victim, wearing a pained expression
"Jasmine, what did I do to make you this angry? I came here just to celebrate your birthday. Do you think I'm too poor for you to associate with me?" Katelyn's aged face displayed a look of sorrow
Although the two elderly women were similar in age, Jasmine's glowing face exuded a sense of kindness. Katelyn, on the other hand, while currently portraying a facade of weakness, could not hide her sunken checks and rough skin, giving off a bitter and harsh demeanor.
Jasmine, facing someone she disliked, didn't hold back. "Despite your flowery words, you were right about one thing - 1 indeed want no association with you. Kindly refrain from bothering me.
Caught off guard by the lack of respect, Katelyn momentarily struggled to respond but quickly regained her composure. She continued to feign fragility, her aged voice growing slightly choked up. Jasmine, how can you be so heartless!
Katelyn deliberately showcased her appearance to the surrounding guests. She waited for a while, but the place remained eerily silent.
Feeling a tinge of doubt, Katelyn expected the guests to intervene and persuade jasmine by now according to her plan. Only then could she seize the opportunity to present her demands to Jasmine. However, the unexpected silence puzzled her
Katelyn subtly glanced around with her peripheral vision. Though others might not have noticed her actions, the members of the Sullivan family nearby clearly observed her.
Jasmine had reached her breaking point and was about to dismiss Katelyn directly. But a second before she could act. Cynthia, seated on her other side, gently placed her hand on Jasmine's She shook her head and whispered in Jasmine's ear, "Grandma, let me handle this."
Even if the Sullivan family decided to eject Katelyn and Marina directly, the guests, fearful of the Sullivan Family's influence, would remain silent. Yet, they couldn't control what people truly thought, and such actions wouldn't bode well for the Sullivan family's reputation
Since Kacelyn aimed to pressure Jasmine into compliance through public opinion, Cynthia resolved to make Katelyn fall into her own trap using public opinion.
Taking the turquoise ring that Katelyn had left on the table in her hand. Cynthia began, "Mrs. Henderson, as you've come all the way across the sea to celebrate Grandma's birthday, Id like to express my gratitude to you on her behalf first. This gift must have cost you dearly
Cynthia's unexpected display of politeness caught Katelyn off guard. She stood there, dazed for a moment, umil joy suddenly flooded her heart, thinking her tactics had worked.
With this realization, Katelyn's face lit up with a smile. She thought to herself. Despite the Sullivan family's wealth and power, they still fear public opinion. In this them acquiescing to my demands?
Feeling liberated, Katelyn sat down without hesitation and unabashedly instructed a servant to fetch her another set of cutlery
The servants remained still, observing Cynthia's reaction, it wasn't until Cynthia gave a subtle nod that the new cutlery was brought over.
The banquet resumed as normal, with everyone beginning to dine, yet most sull kept an eye on Katelyn's reactions.
During the meal, Cynthia maintained a humble attitude while talking to Katelyn. Thinking that Cynthia was truly intimidated by her, Katelyn began to display arrogance and lowered her guard.
When Cynthia felt the timing was right, she asked, as Katelyn relaxed, "Mrx Henderson, you haven't been back to the country for so many years. Apart from celebrating Grandma's birthday, what else do you plan to do this time?"
Katelyn openly stated her desire, "We're not planning to leave this time. I intend for Liam to arrange jobs for my son and granddaughter at Sullivan Group. It doesn't need to be too high-level, just a supervisor or manager position."
After hearing this, Cynthia chuckled to herself, thinking that Katelyn's ideas were truly far-fetched.
Sullivan Group was no ordinary company. Even an average employee had to undergo rigorous screening to get into the company. Moreover, even an ordinary employee there earned far more than the supervisors in some small businesses, let alone supervisors and managers: Katelyn's request

was simply outrageous:
"You didn't come here to celebrate Grandma's birthday, you wanted her to set jobs for your son and granddaughter, Cynthia bluntly concluded.
Finally realizing she had been canight in a trap, Katelyn wasn't afraid. "Cynthia, you can't put it that way. Of course, we came back to celebrate Jasmine's birthday. I just casually asked about my son and granddaughter's jobs. Besides, what's the harm in a large company like your Sullivan Group helping relatives?"
Katelyn's words amused Cymbia. She had never encountered such shamelessness before
One of the primary tasks in growing a business is to refrain from easily involving relatives, especially ones like Katelyn, Bringing in such Individuals may pose incalculable risks to the company.
At the momem, Cynthia had successfully uncovered Katelyn's true intentions and no longer needed to be polite.
She picked up the box containing the turquoise ring again, looked at Katelyn coldly, and said. "Your words may sound nice, pretending to care about family ties, but in reality, you're just using this fake turquoise ring to seek an easy way out for your family."
With that, Cynthia waved the ring in her hand. "You want benefits from others without being willing to make any effort. Your behavior truly astounds me."
Take turquoise ring? That's impossible!" Katelyn exclaimed.
