Chapter 1480:

Trent wiped the sweat from his brow, forcing a humorlessugh. “Miss Fletcher, please don’t misunderstand. Today’s just a kids’ party, nothing major. Mr. Reeves isn’t even here, and Mrs. Reeves is feeling unwell.”

The implication was clear. It was a subtle excuse to turn Beth away, with Kallie’s so-called illness supposedly preventing her from entertaining more guests.

But Beth pressed on. “I don’t need Kallie to entertain me. Besides, she’s a big deal. I don’t think I’m worth her attention. Look, I just enjoy lively asions and simply wanted to join the party.”

Caitlin, standing beside Beth and wearing a face mask against her will, wanted to disappear. She had regretted ever agreeing toe with Beth as soon as she realized where Beth was dragging her. She btedly realized she should have refused, even at the risk of offending Beth. She could have sought yton’s help to solve the situation, but it was toote for regrets now since they were already here.

Before they reached the party, Beth had snatched Caitlin’s phone and given her a harsh warning. “If you even think about running tonight, I will never let you off the hook.”

The thought of escaping vanished from Caitlin’s mind immediately. Knowing how unstable Beth was, she knew Beth meant every word. For her own safety, Caitlin resolved to endure for the time being.

To Caitlin’s relief, Kallie wasn’t exactly thrilled to see Beth and didn’t want her at the party. However, Beth persisted, adding to Caitlin’s unease.

Caitlin frowned as she pondered whaty behind Beth’s insistence. She assumed it was to make things difficult for her, which only made Caitlin more agitated.

Seeing how stubborn Beth was, Trent’s face hardened. “Miss Fletcher, kindly leave. With so many eyes watching, especially with powerful individuals among the guest list, surely you don’t want to make a fool of yourself?”

Trent’s warning rolled right off Beth’s back. A chillingugh escaped her, her eyes glinting with malice. “Oh really? Let’s see who ends up with egg on their face, Kallie or me. You’ve invited all these guests, but it’s a bit dull, isn’t it? Don’t worry, I’ll spice things up.”

With a flourish, Beth pulled out her phone and made a call.

Within minutes, a fleet of vehicles arrived, disgorging a crowd of people wielding cameras.

Trent’s face went white. He couldn’t believe Beth had the audacity to invite the press.

Beth shot Trent a sly smirk, but the moment she turned to the cameras, her face transformed into a mask of vulnerability. “I honestly don’t understand what I’ve done to upset Kallie. I came here with nothing but good intentions, but she refused to even let me in. Does she truly despise me that much? I suppose I understand. With my uing marriage to yton, and knowing he was once interested in her, she must feel awkward.”

Trent’s face turned a shade of purple, his fury barely contained. But with the media swarming around, any outburst would only y into Beth’s maniptive game.

Defeated, Trent went in search of Kallie. He offered her an apologetic look. “I’m so sorry, Miss Nixon. I failed to get rid of Miss Fletcher. I thought she was a pathetic woman who couldn’t get her fiancé’s affection, but she’s a damn viper.”
