Guests were invited for 6 o'clock, Jonas Thompson arrived at half-past five, along with Ava White and Lana Thompson.
As they entered, Ava, with a smile, said, "This is Iris's birthday, a big event for our family. We need to do it right tonight!"
Lana also spoke sweetly, "Wishing you a happy birthday, sister."
Eve Thompson narrowed her eyes and her expression was tinged with displeasure. She wanted to say something, but Emma Tonkin pulled her hand and said, "Our guests are coming soon, it's not good to make a scene."
Eve clenched her fists. They knew this and came late. Did they really think she was a pushover? She spoke softly, "Father, if someone asks who Aunt White is to me, what should I say? And Mr. Charlie is coming, seeing this situation ..."
Jonas's face changed, "Aunt White is here as my guest, and she'll be leaving soon. But Lana can stay and pretend to be your classmate, how about that?"
Eve decided to take the deal and nodded her head.
