?Chapter 1570:


    “Next time, you really don’t have to buy so much,” Keira said. “I haven’t even finished what you bought for mest time.”


    Sandra let out a littleugh. “I see. You and the maid probably can’t finish everything. Anyway, I picked up some lobster and a bunch of sashimi for you this time. Enjoy it.”


    Keira’s face brightened. “Hey, is the Harper family throwing a wee party for you this Christmas? Do you think I could attend?”


    Without missing a beat, Sandra shook her head. “Absolutely not. Didn’t I tell you before? Have you thought about what might happen if you show up at the party? If you show up, the Harper family will just feel embarrassed. They still haven’t forgiven you for what happenedst time. If you turn up, you’ll only be shown out the door.”


    Even though Keira got where Sandra wasing from, she still wasn’t ready to give up.


    “I just want to see you get recognized by everyone, you know? Can’t you sneak me in without the Harpers knowing?” she said, her tone hopeful.


    “Mom, please don’t make things difficult for me,” Sandra replied, her voice steady. “I promised I’d bring you something good to eat after the party. Besides, you just recovered. It’s safer if you stay home and rest.”


    She caught the sh of disappointment in Keira’s eyes, but she stood her ground. There was no way she’d risk stirring up trouble with the Harper family for anyone, not even her mother.


    If Keira stirred up trouble, it would only push the Harper family to distance themselves from her again.


    They had just started warming up to her. She couldn’t ruin it.


    Although disappointment was written all over her face, Keira decided not to argue. Quietly, she had already settled on sneaking in no matter what.


    She pretended to give in and casually asked Sandra, “So where’s the venue?”


    “They booked a ballroom at the Pearl Grand Hotel. It’s a five-star, high-end ce,” Sandra answered without hesitation, not thinking too much about the question.


    Keira made a mental note of the name. The Pearl Grand Hotel stood out as one of the most luxurious ces in Shirie, where even the cheapest room cost a small fortune.

    “The Harpers must really want to impress everyone, choosing a ce that luxurious,” Keira said, a hint of satisfaction in her voice as she moved on to chat about something else with Sandra.


    After dinner, right before heading out, Sandra handed Keira two thousand dors.


    It wasn’t that she was being stingy; she just worried that giving Keira extra would only end up fueling another gambling spree.


    The next day, Keira slipped into the new down jacket Sandra had bought for her and hopped into a cab bound for the Pearl Grand Hotel. She nned to get the details on the Harper family’s party herself. Sandra’s warning didn’t matter. She had already decided to sneak into the party.


    When Christmas finally rolled around, Julia and Darrell showed up at the Pearl Grand Hotel bright and early to double-check every detail for the celebration.
