Chapter 112
"Oh gosh! There's one fortoo. That's fantastic. Thank you for your consideration, Wasyl," said Sherah.
She had been eyeing the invitation for a long time. She figured one of them would be given to her, but she was afraid it would disappear if she did not hold on tight. At that moment, she could not stop beaming with it in her hands.
Sherah becarrogant after she received the invitation. She thought of how Teresa had mocked her earlier. Then, she happily put the invitation in the most visible place next to her and said, "Teresa, you were right. It's good to have a keen eye when picking a husband. Anna should pick a good one when the tcomes. Look at Cheryl. Anna should learn from her."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnlike Sherah, Yafe was able to keep his cool. He smiled and quickly picked up his glasses to toast Wasyl.
The others simply looked at Yafe and his family of three in envy.
How could Teresa stand Sherah's sarcastic remarks? Teresa had always despised the fact that Sherah used to be a mistress. Therefore, she immediately retorted, "You're wrong about that, Sherah. Anna is still young. She's not in a hurry. It's Celena who deserves your attention now. She's not your biological daughter, but since you've married Yafe, you have to be fair. You can't let Cheryl have the best of everything. Don't you agree?"
"You!" Sherah's expression darkened upon hearing Teresa's words.
Right as she was about to lose it, Yafe kicked her under the table. He signaled her with his eyes, reminding her not to make a fool of herself since they were at a family dinner, and Wasyl was also present.
Only then did she shoot a glare at Teresa before ignoring her.
Sherah took her anger out on Celena and Liam instead. She could not help but snapped, "All you do is eat. What a useless bunch. If you're so capable, get us a few invitations too."
Celena was serving Jovie ssalad when she heard what Sherah said. She felt awkward that she did not know what to do with her hands that were hanging midair.

He glanced at the rest, who could not stop bragging about their invitations. Then, with a frown, he said casually, "It's just a few invitations. I can get however many I want. If you want them, I can make a call and have someone send a truck full of them over."
Although Liam's voice was not loud, everyone in the hall heard him. The hall fell silent. Everybody looked at Liam like they were looking at an idiot. Then, they burst out laughing.
"What? What did that loser say? Did I mishear him? He said he could get a truck full of the invitations?"
"He really is something else. Do people in this day in age just brag as they please? They just lay it on as thick as they could without caring if it's believable as long as they themselves believe it."
"Gosh, what a joke! How could Liam be such an idiot? He didn't even know how to make his words more believable when he brags. People might believe a person who said they were wealthy when they were driving a small car. But who would believe it if a person begging on the streets with shabby clothes says he is the wealthiest man in Drunham City?
"Holy shit! I've finally seen it all! Celena is so devoted to him but what does she see in him? Does she like that he talks big and can bullshit like no other?"
