Pam, the youngest daughter of a rich businessman from Lyllmann, had known Sanford since childhood and had a secret crush for him, She loved him so much that she underwent cosmetic surgery for him.


    Then, during her time studying overseas, she became good friends with Lindsay.


    Pams eyes were filled with enmity as she said coldly, I question the authenticity of your invitation.


    Ste knitted her brows, convinced she had never met this woman before and unsure who she was.


    But, the attendants respectful manner made it clear that this woman held significant status.


    Ste instinctively looked to Be for understanding, but Be merely shook her head.


    She was equally confused and unfamiliar with the woman as well.


    Seeing Ste being treated unfairly, Bet stepped up without a second thought and positioned himself between Ste and Pam. In a stern and just voice, he said, How can you be so rude? Apologize to Ste right now! When Pam heard Bets demand, she responded with a haughty sniff and dismissively asked, Do you even know who I am? How dare you ask me to apologize? She looked at Ste with disgust and added, Ive heard Leonard has been lingering in Seamarsh because of a woman.


    Lindsay told me this Ste Anderson is no good, a married woman who seduces other men.


    Stes temper ignited at these usations.


    She snapped back sharply, I dont know what youre talking about.


    If you cant exin yourself, Id say youre the one raised in the barn, without any manners! Pamsplexion turned a deep red as her rage boiled over at Stes retort.


    She turned toward Sanford, flipped her hair casually, and shot him a flirty look.


    Leonard, its been a while.


    Both Ste and Bet exchanged confused nces, puzzled by the name. Sanford remainedposed and corrected her.


    Youre mistaking me for someone else.


    He then said to the attendant, Tonights guests are leading figures in the design industry.


    It is inappropriate to have such an irrational person at this prestigious event.


    If this situation is beyond your control, Im willing to intervene.


    Panic washed over Pam.


    After all the changes she had undergone to face Sanford, she had just finally gathered the courage to stand before him, so his dismissive attitude was a harsh blow.


    Pam protested, Im not wrong! Dont you remember? I was at your seventh birthday, and you… However, Sanford interrupted her before she could continue, already told you, youve mistaken me for someone else. Sanfords expression was cold and firm, and his presencemanded silence.


    Pam tried to press on, but the coldness in his eyes made her shiver.


    She hesitated and swallowed her next words.


    Frustrated, she shot Ste a menacing look and warned her, Just wait, Ill show you Im right! Just then, a clear, pleasant female voice intervened to ease the tension.


    Pam, why didnt you wait for me? Ste turned toward the voice.


    Her expression tightened slightly when she saw Lindsay approaching in her wheelchair.


    Ste nced around instinctively but didnt see Matthew.


    It left her with an odd feeling.


    Was Lindsay here by herself?
