Time flew by, and it was soon the day of the charity jewelry auction held by the KS World Hotel.
As the event was associated with charity, the local media drummed up public attention without KS and
Mint putting much effort into advertising.
Mint was an internationally renowned fashion magazine that A-listers would kill to grace the front cover.
It was an iconic magazine.
It was bustling outside on the day of the star-studded event.
Celebrities, working together with the security team, greeted fans and swiftly entered the venue to
prevent potential stampedes.
A stretched limo pulled up near the crowd, which caused quite a commotion.
A bodyguard opened the door, and Shannon and Bethany got out of the car in glamorous evening
gowns
Other attending heiresses and socialites would take the back door or
VIP lane, but old habits died hard for Shannon and Bethany. They lived for their 15 seconds of fame.
âHey, look! Isnât that Rosalindâs aunt?â
Despite the distance, Shannon heard someone shouting in the crowd, and her expression turned
ashen.
She spent years rebuilding herself to shed the shadow of her past as an overhyped celebrity and
mistress -turned-wife so that she would only be seen as the distinguished wife of Salvador
Corporationâs chairman.
In the end, because of Rosalind, Shannon was known as the notorious whoreâs aunt.
Although Shannon was indeed Rosalindâs aunt, it felt more like an insult than an honor.
âOh, itâs really her!â Another person echoed.
âWasnât she investigated because she was involved in bribery or something?â
âThatâs right. She was later released. Tsk, tsk. The capitalists run the city.â
âShe canât erase her criminal past on the internet. She has the nerve. to show herself. Gregory could
do a better job keeping his wife in check.â
âIâm brought back to Rosalindâs birthday party when I see her. She bragged about her niece, but
Rosalind broke character right there and then. That must have been a shocker.â
âShe went blank at the time. I laugh every time I see that face. Hahaha.â
Shannon grimaced, her feet rooted to the ground. If Bethany had not. held onto her, she would not be
able to walk.
She thought the past was behind her.
It dawned on Shannon that Rosalind had trampled on her fragile ego.
Amid the jeering, Shannon and Bethany hurried into the hotel with their tails tucked between their legs.
âYou might want to try and be discreet, Mom. Best not to make public appearances.â
Bethany pursed her lips frustratedly. âI was laughed at because of you. That was embarrassing.â
âBethany! You are an ingrate. How can you say that your mother embarrassed you?â
Shannon pinched Bethanyâs arm exasperatedly, which hurt her badly. â I was pregnant with you when I
made myself known to the Salvadors. was insulted and humiliated, but I didnât let it bother me. How can
you disrespect me? If I hadnât put away my dignity and pestered your dad, you wouldnât be living the
lavish life of the heiress of Salvador Corporation. You ungrateful brat!â
