Chapter 147: Chapter 147

To prove his words were true, Burt Chambers directly posted on his social media.

"Paige Sterling is just a hypocritical and pretentious woman, I don’t like her at all! Only brainless idiots like her!"

After he posted it, several guys who were scrolling their phones immediately saw it, gave him a weird look, and then started tapping away quickly on their phones.

Burt Chambers looked and found that all the comments on that post were attacking him.

They thought he was the real idiot.

Burt Chambers’ face and heart showed a stark contrast, looking a bit unpleasant on the outside but feeling delighted inside.

See, there are quite a few little idiots who like Paige, huh?

As he scrolled further, he saw a comment.

"Saying too much, I also think she’s too bitchy. I hate her just like you do."

Burt Chambers’ face turned green, and he immediately fired back.

"Bitch your sister, that’s called having a strong demeanor, got it? If you have the guts, you try being bitchy too, huh? Just because you hide in social media circles and blab nonsense, you think you’re better than them?"

Then, without another look, he directly blocked that person.

The blocked person: "..."

Am I not just agreeing with what you said?

You’re pouncing like a rabid dog, are you sure you really hate Paige?

Others also saw Burt Chambers’ rebuttal, exchanged knowing glances.

It’s always the same; Burt Chambers acts like he doesn’t like Paige and wishes he could kill her whenever he sees her.

Every account of his is filled with an air of "the person I hate the most in the world is Paige." Chapters fırst released on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Yet whenever he hears anyone say a bad word about Paige, he instantly transforms into a rabid dog, biting whoever he can.

A guy asked Burt Chambers, "Burt Chambers, are you sure you really hate your cousin?"

"Of course! She’s the person I hate the most!"

"Then can you change the background image of your social media? That’s my goddess’ photo shoot."

Skylar Hughes arrived earlier than Paige Sterling.

However, when she arrived, it hardly caused a stir, and people’s gazes only fleetingly landed on her before moving away.

Jared Sullivan was chatting with a few business friends and didn’t notice her.

She took the initiative to approach and greeted him, calling out "Dad."

Jared Sullivan frowned, "You called incorrectly."

Skylar Hughes immediately felt embarrassed, and others could see from his attitude that he disliked this stepdaughter.

To say he disliked her, Jared Sullivan wouldn’t have been this disrespectful to Skylar Hughes in public before, and he even arranged for her to be in the company. Lately, his attitude towards this stepdaughter seemed increasingly unfriendly.

Anyway, everyone saw Jared Sullivan’s attitude, and naturally knew what attitude to adopt towards Skylar Hughes.

Feeling aggrieved, Skylar Hughes walked away to find Yvette Hughes.

At this time, Yvette Hughes was also chatting with a few other ladies, pulling Skylar Hughes over.

However, it seemed these ladies weren’t very interested in engaging with Skylar Hughes, causing Yvette to feel awkward as well.

Because these ladies had heard about Mrs. Wright’s incident, wasn’t it Skylar Hughes stirring things up? How could Mrs. Wright treat Paige Sterling that way?

So the Sterling Family’s stepdaughter wasn’t simple, and looking at Jared Sullivan’s attitude towards her made it clearer that Skylar Hughes wasn’t someone you should associate with.

This resulted in Skylar Hughes walking around without anyone really engaging with her.

In the end, Skylar Hughes had to suppress her unpleasant expression and move towards her group of girlfriends that she brought along.

This group of girlfriends arrived later, and Skylar Hughes didn’t really want them to come in, but they kept calling.

Skylar Hughes was afraid they’d cause a scene outside and embarrass her, so she had to bring them in.

This group of girlfriends was attending such an event for the first time, feeling somewhat nervous.

Without Skylar Hughes leading, they didn’t dare to go anywhere.

Seeing Skylar Hughes coming over, they immediately said, "Skylar, look quickly, that’s Julian Hawthorne, the head of The Hawthorne Family."

"Oh my gosh, last time I only saw him briefly at a hotel and he seemed very handsome. Didn’t expect him to look even better up close."

Skylar Hughes asked nonchalantly, "Have you all never seen him?"

The girls shook their heads, asking Skylar Hughes, "Do you often see him?"

"Oh, we’ve cooperated a few times before, and also met privately a few times, so we’re considered acquaintances."

Her tone was indifferent, but it couldn’t hide her pride and sense of superiority.

As expected, the girls became envious.

"Skylar, you’re so lucky to be in the Sterling Family, able to meet people from the upper circles we usually can’t see."

"Mr. Hawthorne asked you out privately, he must have a fondness for you, right?"

Skylar Hughes just smiled, "How would I know? Maybe it was just out of courtesy."

"How can it be? Which man invites a woman without a purpose? I think Mr. Hawthorne definitely likes you; you two are really a perfect match, a born pair."

"Previously heard about Helen Hale from the Hale Family pestering Mr. Hawthorne, but now it’s resolved since she’s been disfigured. Mr. Hawthorne surely values you more; when you marry into a prestigious family like The Hawthorne Family, don’t forget your girlfriends."

Skylar Hughes’ smile grew larger inside, but she maintained her grace on the outside without responding.

Since the Sterling Family’s attitude towards her was so unfavorable, she indeed needed to plan for her future.

And marrying into The Hawthorne Family seemed like a nice choice.

When she becomes the lady of The Hawthorne Family, will she still need to bow and scrape to please Jared Sullivan?

Thinking this over, everyone suddenly saw Paige Sterling standing beside Julian Hawthorne.

She was petite, previously standing on the other side of Julian Hawthorne, completely invisible from this side.

Now that Paige Sterling stepped out, they saw that she was actually holding Julian Hawthorne’s hand, and the two of them together looked like a match made in heaven.

"What’s Paige Sterling’s deal? Is she purposely getting close to Mr. Hawthorne, knowing your relationship with him? Isn’t she disgusting?"

"Turns out the rumors online that she and Mr. Hawthorne are involved are true, but I think she’s the one pestering Mr. Hawthorne; he totally doesn’t want to deal with this kind of woman."

"Came in a car from the Sterling Family, but ends up holding Mr. Hawthorne’s hand; this woman is really disgraceful! She’s really embarrassed us women, back in ancient times, she would’ve been drowned in a pig cage."

"Skylar, are you just going to put up with this without doing anything?"

"Stop talking nonsense; Skylar is so exceptional that any man with eyes should know whom to choose. What does Paige Sterling count for? A woman who climbs up using her body; how can she compare with our Skylar? This kind of person would only be cherished by those old men, while a young talent like Mr. Hawthorne wouldn’t care at all. Our Skylar won’t stoop to compare herself to such a woman."
