"No matter how pitiful you might be, you must have a despicable side." Jay cast a disdainful glance at Rose and did not want to speak another word to her. He turned around and spoke to the children instead. "Go upstairs and get dressed. Daddy will bring you to Aunt Josephine's birthday party."
The children cheered and dashed up the stairs.
Rose sighed almost imperceptibly. Her eyes were getting misty. She closed her eyes to hold back her tears.
She knew that he bore no feelings for her, so why was she still hoping that he did?
Without that hope, she would not have to keep living i n agony.
Rose shook away the unhappy thoughts and left through the front door.
Josephine's birthday party was held at Grand Asia Club.
In the cavernous grand hall, the ceiling was decorated like the starry sky. A sea of blooming flowers adorned both sides of the red carpet.
The guests were young and good-looking. They moved around in the hall holding glasses of champagne and wine, creating a pleasant sight.
The gleam of gold and gemstones was dazzling to the eye. The party was the epitome of opulence.
The guests were all extravagantly dressed to flaunt the wealth and power of their families.
The Ares family was the host of tonight's party, and Josephine Ares should have been placed in the spotlight.
However, the guests could be easily classified into two categories.
The first category of guests were those who came for business.
Those people surrounded the male heirs of the Ares family, using the occasion to try to bring their businesses to greater heights by forging a stronger connection.
The other category of guests were there for love.
