Chapter 146 

Listening to Johanna drone on, Kieran couldn’t help but feel a wave of irritation wash over hirn. When had he signed up to babysit these kinds of messes

Mrs. Dawson, I suggest you get a grip and stop overestimating your importance, Kieran said, his tone devoid of any attempt to 

With that, he ended the call, leaving Johanna red faced with anger and embarrassment on the other end. She hadn’t expected Kieran to brush off the matter so abruptly

But she had boasted about it to everyone who would listen. If she couldn’t pull this off, how was she supposed to show her face around Echo City’s high society again

Her phone rang again soon after. A voice filled with excitement sounded on the other end. Mrs. Dawson, is it true that your son is Athrowing his birthday bash at the Majestic Manor Hotel? My husband is all ears about it and insists we attend

Caught offguard but unwilling to lose face, Johanna smiled and said, Of course, it’s true. Why would you even doubt that? Freya is Mr. Sutton’s fiancée, and Leland is Freya’s brother. Booking the Majestic Manor Hotel is just a phone call away for us.” 

Johanna was bluffing with the expertise of a seasoned gambler 

As expected, the person on the other end bought the lie and said immediately, If that’s the case, I’m in for a real treat! It’s rare to get to attend a party at such a prestigious place. We’ve prepared a generous gift for you and Leland” 

Hearing the promise of gifts made Johanna’s grin widen. Oh, don’t worry. You’ll be the first to receive an invitation!” 

Thank you so much, Mrs. Dawson!exclaimed the voice on the other end, making Johanna revel in the warmth of her imagined 

success 

But as soon as the call ended, worry crept in

The Majestic Manor Hotel wasn’t welcoming to just anyone, especially not with the Dawson family’s current standing. Without Kieran’s help, they were over. 

Determined, Johanna decided it was time to take matters into her own hands. She couldn’t depend on anyone else. Johanna climbed the stairs to her room and adorned herself with her most expensive jewelry, slipping into a designer outfit and grabbing her luxury handbag. Looking at her reflection, she felt a surge of confidence

Meanwhile, at Summit University’s cafeteria, Freya was chuckling over the news of Johanna’s bold move toward the Majestic Manor Hotel 

She’s going alone?Freya couldn’t help but laugh

Exactly,Luna replied, closing her phone. You asked me to watch the situation, so I contacted a manager there. Sure enough, Johanna tried to book a spot, even insisting on checking the venue herself.” 

Freya knew Kieran wouldn’t lift a finger to help Johanna. A sly smile played on her lips. This is going to be a spectacle. Let’s sit back and enjoy the show.” 

Dressed to the nines, Johanna strutted into the Majestic Manor Hotel with the confidence of a queen

The Majestic Manor Hotel had long been the goto venue for Echo City’s elite and international business magnates, where they had struck countless deals

As Johanna left her car, Manager Cory immediately recognized the highflying socialite. He approached her and said, Mrs. Dawson, wi received your call earlier
