Janet didn't answer her. Instead, she calmly opened the envelope, pulled out the invitation, and held it up in between her slender fingers.
"Here. See for yourself."
To Jocelyn's surprise, her name was on the invitation.
"What the hell?! How can this be—?!"
How did Janet get an invitation in her name?
Jocelyn was shocked and green with envy.
Janet had married Ethan under her name. Of course it was Jocelyn's name on the invitation.
But the question still stood: how did Janet get an invitation to such an important occasion? Yes, she was an employee of the Larson Group, but she was a newbie and held no special position. How could a new employee be qualified to attend such a dinner party?
Exasperated and at a loss, Jocelyn could do nothing but look at Janet in disbelief.
Janet looked back at Jocelyn calmly. "There. Satisfied? We'll go inside now."
Jocelyn watched in silent rage as Janet and Ethan walked inside the venue.
She was so angry that she stomped her high heel on the marble floor. The sound of heels clacking echoed across the hotel hall.
Hearing this, Janet turned around and sneered, "Why are you still here? Did you want to stay and get a glimpse of what you can't have?"
Janet smiled smugly. She gave Jocelyn a taste of her own medicine.
Jocelyn's eyes were raging with anger. She glared at Janet murderously, as though she would attack Janet at any moment.
The dinner party was about to begin, but Jocelyn was still standing outside, the cold wind blowing at her.
She couldn't let Janet get away with this. No matter what, she needed to get inside the banquet hall.
More and more people streamed into the dinner party. A limousine slowly pulled to a stop outside the private hotel. A paunchy rich businessman who seemed to be at his fifties or sixties got off the car, supported by a female companion in her twenties.
