Chapter 31 Benjamin was about to say something when Gladys beat him to it. Oh, now you want to talk? What were you doing earlier on, cowering in the corner? Its so embarrassing being your wife. I want a divorce!!! There was a crowd at The Gourmands entrance. However, none of them were interested in their family argument.Their minds were still on the Blithe King. The Blithe Kings succession ceremony is in five days. oh, yes.I heard that itll be held at Cansingtons military region.Apparently, the ceremony will be open to the public, but only the most powerful and influential people will receive an invitation. Thats what I heard too! Only the true upper-class families who are rich and powerful enough will be able to attend. Ah, I bet the only people who will get invited are the celebrities. Everyone was busy talking about the Blithe King. Not James though.He sat on a chair outside The Gourmand, smoking a cigarette. To save her family, Gladys had embarrassed herself thoroughly.She even knelt to Belinda! After lashing out at her family, she calmed down a little. Gladys, is that you? Youre here too! Benjamin and his family were waiting in line to enter .The Gourmand when a voice rang out.Gladys looked up. A pretty, well-kept woman approached, holding the arm of a man in a suit and tie. A young couple followed them. Felicia? Gladys stood up.She was surprised as she surveyed the woman before her, who still looked like she was in her twenties.She asked, Are you Felicia Lockwood? The same Felicia who sat behind me in class? Thats right! Gladys, it really is you! I havent seen you in years! My, your social standing seems to be deteriorating, isnt it? Once upon a time, you were the school belle.I thought youd marry rich! Who knew youd end up this way, even having to wait at The Gourmand? Felicia glanced at Glad ys, her hand still on the mans arm. This is my husband, the chairman of Lucky Logistics.He has a net worth of tens of millions.What about you? Wheres your husband? What does he do? Gladys knew that Felicia was showing off.She jerked Benjamin toward her, holding her head high. This is my husband, Benjamin Callahan, a ten-percent shareholder of Eternality.The Callahans have a net worth of billions, while my husband is worth millions. Since Benjamin had become a shareholder of Eternality, Gladys was finally able to enjoy some social standing. Glancing at Felicia out of the corner of her eyes, she felt more and more gleeful. Felicia looked surprised. Wow, really? Eternalitys shareholder, eh? Then why are you still waiting in line? Arent you a member? Oh, I know.You were just boasting, werent you? The man next to her said, Fel, I have a lot of work to do today.Hurry up, lets go.I have to be in the office again later on. Felicia saw Gladys expression shift. Immediately, she knew that Gladys was just boasting. Years ago, Gladys was the school belle. Though Felicia was pretty as well, she was only a wallflower in Gladys presence. Now that she had done better in life than Gladys, she was not going to pass up the opportunity to gloat.She grabbed a cute-looking girl from behind her. This is my daughter.You know who the Wilsons are, right? She married a Wilson! The young man beside the girl tossed his head, putting his arm around the girl smugly. The Wilsons are doing okay, I guess.Were only worth tens of billions and we rank the third among The Great Four in Cansington. Gladys was speechless.She glared at Thea viciously. Thanks to Thea, Gladys could not even look her classmate in the eye. Thea hung her head, keeping her gaze firmly on the floor. Gladys, this must be your daughter! Its Thea, right? We saw you on the news.Oh, I heard that your daughter married some nobody.All he does is cook and pick Thea up from work with an electric motorcycle.Oh, shes disfigured again now? Sensing another opportunity to attack Gladys, Felicia took it.She kept putting Thea and James down whilst complimenting her own daughter and son-in-law. David and Alyssa kept quiet in the face of these insults. Their family was nothing compared to the others. Gladys was so embarrassed that she wanted nothing more than to hide. Even after obtaining the shares, it still was not enough.She glared at James, who was still smoking in his seat without a care in the world.She hated him with a vengeance. It was him who affected her social standing. After watching this play out, James felt like he had no choice. As Theas husband, he did not want to be an embarrassment to her or her parents.He called Henry immediately. Make a reservation for the Diamond Room at The Gourmand.Make sure its under Theas name. After that, he stood up and approached Gladys. Mom, didnt we make a reservation for the Diamond Room? Lets go in. Felicia burst out laughing. Haha, the Diamond Room? What a joke! Her husband looked unimpressed as well. Boy, do you even know what the Diamond Room is? Youre taking this ruse too far. Chad Wilson, Felicias son-in-law, sneered at James. Even as a member of the Wilson family, Im only a silver member.That means Im just entitled to the Silver Room.And youre saying you have a reservation for the Diamond Room? In Cansington, there are only a handful of people who have access to the Diamond Room…
