Love Drug Novel

Chapter 56 A Birthday Proposal Summer tossed out her words casually .

62 % Finished You wouldnt believe how the Larson family looks down on me for only being recognized by the Stewart family after 20 years .

They think my manners , temperament , and character arent polished enough , not like Margaret , who grew up in the Stewart household .

They figure Im not good enough for Trevor .

Summer complaints .

These werent Trevors words , but Scarlett had said them to her often enough .

Jasper pressed his lips together .

He knew Summer was deliberately poking at their favoritism toward Margaret .

Summer , youre my daughter , he said .

The Stewart blood runs in your veins .

Margarets just a foster child .

Dont measure yourself against her .

Summer thought , Dont measure myself ? He told me not to compare , but his actions screamed bias .

In the past , Id let it slide .

Now ? Not anymore .

a Summer smirked .

Im not comparing .

Its just that my status is too lowly for the Larson family .

How about this ? The Stewart family has another daughter , Margaret .

Let her marry into the Larson family instead .

Dont worry about me .

Summer said .

Summer , youre just dodging marriage altogether ! Jasper huffed , taking a deep breath to steady himself .

He couldnt push her too hard right now .

Alright , next month is your 24th birthday .

This time , your mom and I will make it all about you .

Well throw a big party , so everyone knows youre our cherished daughter .

Summer smiled , her mole under the eye quivering slightly , lighting up her face like a blooming peony .

Even the taxi driver couldnt resist sneaking glances at her through the rearview mirror .

Summer thought to herself , my birthday fell on the same day as Margarets .

Every year , the Stewart family threw lavish celebrations for Margaret .

For her 18th , theyd splashed over a million dollars which is a hefty sum even for the Stewart family .

Since I had been acknowledged by the Stewart family , Julia , mindful of Margarets feelings , and Jasper , unwilling to lose face , kept hosting parties in Margarets name .

My celebration was downgraded to a quiet family dinner the next day .

Laughable .

Truly laughable .

Summer continued her thoughts , In the years that followed , I stopped bothering with Margarets parties .

Id planned to celebrate with Trevor instead, but each time , Peyton conveniently fell ill.So , I never had a proper birthday since growing up .

Fine , she said .

But what about Margaret ? Were not exactly twins , Id feel awkward sharing the day with her .

She probably doesnt want to share it with me either .

Jasper mulled it over , deciding to appease Summer for now .

Like before , well celebrate hers the next day .

Summer thought , You didnt need to guess how furious Margaret would be when she heard this .

Summers lips curved into a sly smile .

Will Margaret go along with that ? Your mom and I will handle her .

So , be good and marry Trevor , alright ? Sure , Summer replied .

Ask Trevor if he still wants me first .

Chapter 56 A Birthday Proposal 62 % Finished The rich scent of wine wafted through the luxurious , sprawling VIP room .

A French crystal chandelier cast a champagne glow , dripping with decadence .

Yvette was at a high society party with her agent , Tom .

The moment she stepped in , she spotted familiar A- listers : Best Actress winner Sandra , Best Actress winner Nina , big names who usually kept their noses in the air , all gathered here .

Yvette thought , This wasnt just any night .

Someone big was in the room .

Tom leaned in close to Yvette .

See those guys on the black sofa ? The ones with that polished vibe ? Theyre young heirs from Havenbrooks elite families .

Toms eyes darted sideways , and he gasped .

Holy ! That guy in the yellow shirt ? Thats Mr.

Graham , the Bossman of Havenbrook .

Hes here tonight , this is huge ! Yvette , stay sharp .

If you can catch Frasers eye , even a scrap from his table could launch you straight to Hollywood .

Yvette thought , I had been in the entertainment game for years .

Even as an A list actress , I knew the drill , rubbing a elbows with the wealthy elite was part of the gig .

But when she heard the Bossman , Frasers name , she paused , glancing his way .

Yvette thought , The mans striking , almost too perfect features stood out in the crowd .

He wore a yellow shirt and black trousers , legs sprawled casually as he lounged on the sofa .

One hand rested on the backrest , cradling a glass of liquor .

Even a fleeting look screamed power , noble , aloof , and undeniably magnetic .
