  I didn't know what to say. I kind of expected that but I didn't know how to respond. But I didn't need to because Heather continued.
  &quot;My biological parents are dead. I don't even remember them.&quot;
  &quot;I'm sorry.&quot;
  &quot;You need not be. So Justin and Patricia took me in as their own. Patricia doesn't like me much. I knew that from the start. So don't mind her when she behaves rudely with you. She hates both mine and Juliet's guts.&quot;
  &quot;Yes, according to her Juliet and Heather are very vulgar girls. And since I hung out with them, she started to see me as a vulgar girl too. She used to like me at first,&quot; Amelia added.
  &quot;Don't they have any children of their own?&quot; I asked. We were stood in a quiet corner and currently no one was coming over to meet us.
  &quot;No, Patricia can't have children so they chose to adopt.&quot; Amelia answered.

  We both froze in our places when we heard the clear click-clack of heels against the marble floor.
  I held my breath in anticipation.
  &quot;Juliet, there's someone here to meet you!&quot; Amelia's enthusiastic voice made my heart clench in fear.
  We didn't turn around and Amelia called for me again and grabbed my arm to turn me around.
  As soon as I turned around, I was met with the nightmare next to Amelia.
  She was smiling at me. Anytime now she would recognize me and then spill my secret in this room full of hundred people, and more were pouring in.
  She stepped forward and I thought she was going to hit me but instead, she hugged me. To say I was shocked would be an understatement.
  When she pulled back, she was grinning at me. &quot;Happy birthday, Juliet.&quot;
  &quot;Ashley,&quot; I breathed out.
  &quot;Glad to you know you still remember me.&quot; She giggled.

  I could describe Juliet's birthday party as overwhelming and extra. A lot extra.
  The dinner was hosted at a five star hotel,?Serene?Serenade's?ballroom. The whole place was decorated from top to bottom. It looked like a palace.
  If this was Charlotte's 'simple' dinner party, then I never wanted to see what her extravagant ones were like.
  Getting into the ballroom had posed a great challenge. When our cars arrived at the hotel, the entrance was crowded with the paparazzi. They were going crazy over what the celebration was about. I knew they had a slight inkling about it. Today was Juliet's birthday. The Jenson's are hosting a secret dinner party. What could be the reason?
  It was too obvious. Only a fool would not be able to guess that this was their daughter's birthday party.
  With that, rumors would spread. The paparazzi would speculate and try to find more information. Not ev
