He doesn't know what's so good about this room. The places in his house were nicer than the room. Although he doesn't understand the artistic value and natural beauty that Clara always talks about, because Clara wants to live in it, Austin must find a way to make her stay.
"Then I won't spare you any more." Clara's eyes shone with joy. She walked towards the glass wall to see the scenery outside.
Deanna and Felicia quickly exchanged glances.
When the friends who attended the second birthday party arrived, they congratulated Deanna and Felicia and gave them birthday gifts.
"Happy birthday."
"Happy birthday, this is a present for you. Hope you like it."
"Thank you." Deanna and Clara smiled and thanked them, then took the gift and put it away.
"Your relationship is so good, you even celebrate birthdays together."
"Yeah, my relationship with my brother isn't even as good as you guys."
"Deanna who is willing to make my birthday a birthday together." Clara said with a smile.
"Feelings are reciprocal, and you know how I am. If others treat me well, then I will return double. Clara used to tell me that even if everyone left me, she would stand behind me and never do anything to betray me. I have to be nice to her for what he promised me." Deanna said.
Clara smiled, but the smile seemed guilty in her conscience.
Deanna's mother died shortly after her divorce from Foster's father, and soon Deanna's father married Clara's mother. Clara entered the Foster family when she was ten years old. Her life was very difficult before she was ten years old. And after arriving at the Fosters, she lives a life she never imagined. Clara's mother told her that if Clara wanted to live like that forever, she had to please Deanna.
Deanna's mother was a strong woman, but Deanna's father was a man who could only be a burden. Even though Deanna's mother is busy with her career, she knows that her husband is still in a relationship with his first love. She chooses to pretend not to know to give Deanna a complete family.
When Deanna was nine years old, her mother suddenly filed for divorce and handed over the management power of the company to a trusted confidant.
She transferred all of the property and shares in her name to Deanna and agreed with an investment company to manage on her behalf. So Deanna will immediately be able to handle corporate affairs once she grows up. And a few months later, Deanna's mother passed away.
Maturity in this country is set at 18 years old, and a person can get married at 19 years old. Deanna is now 19 years old and has long been in control of her finances, so everyone in Deanna's household depends on her. They all know about Clara's affair with Austin, but they keep it a secret so they can still rely on Deanna and depend on her casually.
Faced with Deanna, Clara always felt less confident. Deanna was very rich, and it was her own money. She is also prettier than her and surrounded by many friends.
Clara had humbled herself before Deanna, looking for an opportunity to join the girl's circle of friends and slowly become closer to them.
After all the guests arrived, Felicia had the maid take out the cake, asked Deanna and Clara to make a wish, then blew out the candles. Deanna lets Clara make her wish, saying she's made a wish on her birthday. In her mind, she thought that being reborn was the greatest wish that had come true.
"The first wish, may our family always be healthy and the second wish, I wish..."
Seeing Deanna, Clara said, "I hope Deanna will always be happy. Third wish..."
Clara didn't say her wish out loud but hoped with her eyes closed that she would continue to love Austin for the rest of her life.
Clara blew out the candles and continued smiling at her friends' sounds. And Austin was now standing behind the others, leaning against the wall, watching Clara with gentle eyes full of love.
Everyone ate, drank, and chatted together. It was quite late by the time dinner ended, so everyone decided to stay over. The villa was large, so twenty or thirty people could live there.
After waiting in the room for a while, Deanna received a call from Felicia.
"Everyone is already in a trap, should we start now?"
"Let's get started," said Deanna.
Clara and Deanna's friends, as well as Austin's friend, had gone to bed, and suddenly, they were awakened by a knock on their respective bedroom doors. Those who were confused were then led outside to an upstairs room.
"Sorry to interrupt your rest." said Deanna with an expression of regret.
"But I actually prepared a present for Clara today, and was hoping to surprise her. I hope everyone can watch this scene together now, so we can end it soon and everyone can go back to sleep. Please help."
After Deanna finished speaking, she walked towards the wooden wall and counted, "Three, two, one!"
When Deanna's countdown ended, the walls in front suddenly burst open on both sides. There was the sound of a dry ice machine accompanied by colorful puffs of smoke.
In the conservatory, two people of different sexes embraced in bed and were startled by what was outside. They turned their heads and were dumbfounded, looking at Deanna with great shock. Deanna turned her back on them and looked at the others quietly, with no expression on her face.
Deanna turned and walked towards them step by step. The others saw this scene and were completely dumbfounded, speechless.
Deanna walked over to the bed and, looked at them, said, "Isn't this a great birthday present? Do you guys like it?"
"You did this on purpose?" Austin looked at Deanna angrily.
"Yes, I did it on purpose, but for your own good. Now you guys can be together openly." Deanna said mockingly.
"Deanna, listen to me. We don't want to hurt you. We want to find the right time to tell you. We don't want to hide it." Clara explained tearfully.
"So you think... if you guys find the right time to tell me you've been behind me all this time, you won't hurt me?" Deanna looked at Clara with disdain.
"I don't love you anymore, I'm free to be with anyone. What right do you have to blame us?" angry Austin.
"At least it's much better than what Clara said. Even if a bastard acts like he's doing the right thing, at least he's acknowledging himself as a bastard."
Deanna clapped a few times, then added, "Actually, you've been with Clara behind my back for a long time. At first you found this sneaky feeling very exciting, so you didn't want to say anything. Then you feel that you really love each other and want to be together openly. But you're having an affair and don't want to endure that bad reputation. You plan to break up with me first, and then openly together. So that in the eyes of others, you have no reason to apologize to me, do you?"
"Deanna, I'm sorry. We…we should have told you sooner." Clara looked at Deanna with a guilty face and said, "We really don't want to hurt you, but we can't control our feelings for each other..."
Deanna cut her off and said, "If you do it, do it. Why don't you admit it? It's so disgusting to see you keep pretending."
Deanna turned to the friends present and said, "How? Isn't this scene interesting? You can remember this as a keepsake. And every time Austin brags or Clara puts on a good face in front of you, you can mock them in front of you, in the heart."
No one else dared to offend Austin, so they simply lowered their heads and looked down. But deep down, they felt it was a good thing.
"Deanna!" Austin gritted his teeth, "You will regret what you did today!"
