Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

As they made their way to the limo, Jameson told himself that once he found Clara, he would make sure she paid.

‘I’m going lock that brat in the basement so that she can never leave again! I’ll make sure she only works for JGP as my unofficial slave.‘

Jameson smiled smugly as the family made it way to the hotel for Sophie’s big night.

Once they arrived, Anna and Jameson immediately began getting prepared to meet the guest as Sophie made her way to the dressing suite before making her grand entrance. Smiling at herself in the mirror, Sophie felt accomplished.

‘Everyone is here to see me! And just like everything else she holds dear, I’ll make sure I steal her precious company too. All of her brilliance will be given to me on a silver platter just like her father and fiancé.‘

As the guests began to arrive, Anna and Jameson played the roles of perfect hosts, greeting and thanking everyone as they made their way into the ballroom.

“Jameson, Anna. How are you!”

Alen Conway one of Glendale’s most respected neurosurgeons greeted the Grangers along with

his wife and daughter Terra.

“Alen! It’s been a long–time old friend! How’s the hospital. You’re the chief of neuro–surgery

correct?”

“The hospital is going great, and yes! In fact, we’re getting a new ward build over the summer.”

“That’s excellent to here! I’m sure you’re running things like a tight ship. And Isabelle, you and Terra look absolutely beautiful.”

Jameson took Isabelle’s hand into his and placed a light kiss on the back of her hand. Alen followed suit with Anna.

“Anna you look breathtaking as always. We can’t to see the guest of honor.”

Anna beamed with pride.

“She’s so excited! It’s such an honor to have everyone here celebrating her big night.”

Alen’s daughter Terra, however, scoffed under her breath.

‘What the hell is the big deal about graduating from high school? Isn’t that what you’re supposed

to do?”

Terra also attended Bartrum Private Academy, and she was all too familiar with the Granger sisters. Like many, Terra admired Clara not only for her brilliance, but for her sweet and loving personality. She was always kind and helped others, tutoring them when they needed assistance and always smiling. She never looked down on anyone or made them feel less than. That was Sophie. Sophie was crude, arrogant, and spoiled. She made people feel small, always boasting about how her father got her anything she wanted, and she was his perfect princess.

The truth was, Sophie lived in the shadows of Clara’s brilliance so to make up for it, she used being mean as a defense mechanism. It wasn’t until Clara left for college that others even paid her any real attention. They all watched as she roamed through the school like she was some queen bee with Jason following behind her like some love puppy. It all made Terra sick, others may have been willing to suck up to her, but she wasn’t. The only reason she was here tonight was because her parents dragged her.

“Terra, say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Granger.”

Terra’s father snapped her back to reality. Just as she was about to speak, the announcer stepped to the podium.

“Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf or Mr. and Mrs. Granger, they would like to thank everyone from celebrating this joyous night as they celebrate their beautiful daughter Sophie graduating from Bartrum Private Academy, one of city’s most prestigious high schools. If everyone could please make their way to the center, Ms. Sophie Granger will be arriving now.”
