Chapter 157: The Anniversary

A day before the rehearsal dinner for the Bennett wedding ceremony, people gathered at the grand reception hall of the Emerald Hotel to celebrate another remarkable event.

Tonight was indeed a special occasion—the 50th anniversary of H Construction, the family company of Edward Harris, one of the pillars of the business world.

The event was not just a celebration of half a century of success, but a gathering of the most influential people in the country, all under one roof. And that of course meant the silent clash of two secretly rival couples: Richard and Samantha Clark against Liam and Amelie Bennett. 

"We only need to show that we do not care for them," Amelie told Liam as they were sharing a ride on their way to the hotel. "Knowing Richard's pettiness, he will try to avoid us and I think it's for the best. The bigger the distance between us, the better."
