"Cassandra, I'm going to check the readiness with Liam, do you mind going into the room first?" Charles asked Cassandra.
Cassandra nodded, "No problem. I'll wait for you in the VIP area."
Charles nodded, "You don't need to worry, Liam has already informed the whole crew about your presence."
"That's ok Charles, I can handle it."
Meanwhile, the Miller family seemed to be gathered in one corner of the hall, impatiently waiting for the gathering to begin.
"Vivian, Jordan, this time is a good opportunity for you two. I heard that conglomerates from all over have come this time. You all should be able to embrace those celebrities!" Geoffrey Miller began advising his stepdaughter and partner.
Vivian wrapped her hands spoilingly around her father's arm and nodded. "Of course I won't waste this oppurtunity. I'm going to introduce myself as the new hotel manager, and I'm sure, our hotel will grow even more. I'm very optimistic that our hotel will receive special attention and attract investors."
Megan rubbed her husband's arm and smiled, "Husband, you don't have to worry. Our Vivian is not like that dumb girl. Vivian knows how to take a chance, and she can definitely be counted on. Especially with the help of Jordan who is experienced and articulate, investors will definitely be easy for us to attract."
Geoffrey rubbed his chin as he nodded. "That's right, we've gone to a lot of trouble to get that hotel, we can't let that stupid kid laugh at us because it turns out that Roger's family's hotel is experiencing a decline in revenue."
Jordan then cleared his throat, "Geoffrey, you don't need to worry about that, since the hotel is managed by Vivian the occupancy rate has increased by three percent. I'm sure it will be even more after the renovation is complete and with the new investors, it will certainly make the hotel managed by Vivian will experience a very significant development." Jordan smiled slightly and then said, "If this happens, then that fool Cassandra will be embarrassed and she won't have any reason to reclaim the hotel that is rightfully hers."
"Hmm I'm very sure of that. You two are indeed very worthy to manage that hotel," Geoffrey said.
"It's all thanks to Vivian, she's very smart, decisive and has charisma. She's also always the woman who encourages me whenever I'm in trouble. Vivian can really be a problem solver," Jordan praised Vivian while winking at her flirtatiously.
Vivian, who got the compliment, just blushed and squeezed her own fingers.
"Vivian has always been smart, she is far superior to Cassandra. Just so you know, Vivian has always attended a top school, unlike Cassandra who has always been a student at an ordinary school. I'm not surprised that Vivian is now able to show her abilities," Megan added, making Vivian blush even more.
Vivian and Cassandra had never attended the same school for a long time because Vivian's grades were far above Cassandra's. But what Cassandra didn't know was that her father had intervened.
Geoffrey deliberately asked the school to manipulate Vivian's grades to get into the top three. Meanwhile, at Cassandra's school, her father always asked the teacher to give special questions with a higher level of difficulty so that Cassandra could not do it and get a lousy grade.
"Mom, there's no need to praise me too much. I became like this because of Mom and Dad's support. If you two didn't support me, there's no way I could be who I am today." Vivian turned to Jordan, "It's also because of you who always stood by me, even behind Cassandra's back, but I'm quite happy with that."
"Ha ha, isn't my relationship with Cassandra one of our plans, dear? You know yourself that what I did to her was nothing compared to what I did to you," Jordan said, trying to seduce Vivian.
"Ah, never mind... never mind. You young people, there's no need to make out in this place,e. Remember, everyone knows that you used to be Cassandra's fiancé," Geoffrey said, stopping Jordan.
"I'm sorry. I just can't stand the charm that Vivian is showing," Jordan retorted back, flattering Vivian.
"Save your compliments for later, Jordan!" Geoffrey warned.
Then, Vivian accidentally looked back and saw Cassandra in her million-dollar white dress walking alone. At that moment, most guests turned their heads towards Cassandra, who was walking towards them.
"What the hell. How could she be here?" asked Vivian, looking annoyed.
Megan immediately followed Vivian's gaze and snorted in annoyance. "What is that stupid kid doing here?"
Geoffrey gritted his teeth to hold back his emotions when he saw Cassandra, who walked towards them as if nothing had happened. "Stop her! Don't let her mess up this event. Where will she put the Miller family's face!"
Jordan immediately approached Vivian and blocked her by spreading his hands. "You again! Aren't you tired of making a scene?"
That's when Vivian, Geoffry, and Megan also approached Jordan. Geoffrey was the one who showed Cassandra the most unfriendly face. "Do you think coming here will make me change my mind and accept you back into the Miller family?" Geoffrey pursed his lips and said again, "That won't happen. I do not have a daughter like you! You've tarnished the Miller family name enough!"
Vivian, the girl who always played softly. Pretending to be oppressed and pitied, approached Cassandra and began speaking softly. "Cassandra, I don't want to kick you out, but do you know how father is? Right now, he's not in a good mood to see you. How about you just forget about your desire to get his recognition by taking advantage of the crowd here. It's useless; he'll only get angrier."
Cassandra just squinted and smiled sarcastically. "You think I'm here to get your father's attention? I don't need it."
"Damn it. Jordan! Banish this shameless woman. Don't let her bring shame to the Miller family!" Geoffrey ordered.
Jordan nodded, and he prepared to push Cassandra away, but this time, Cassandra faced him with her head held high and a smile.
"You don't need to bother, I'm not here to represent the Miller family. Aren't I no longer a member of the Miller family? Perhaps you're the ones who don't want to lose me?" mocked Cassandra.
"What did you say?" asked Geoffry while holding back his emotions.
