Chapter 165 Raine’s Birthday Banquet
“You…” Nancy was slightly stunned. “How did you know who I am?”
“When you were competing with Raine in the fashion design contest, I started to suspect something, “Johnny said. “It’s Raine’s birthday today, and if you’re twins, then it should be your birthday, too. But all the news outlets are only covering Raine’s celebration.”
“You’re very clever, but I won’t be upset by that,” Nancy said. “Thanks for
Johnny’s gift was rejected, and he looked a little disappointed.
your kindness.”
Nancy returned to her office. As soon as she turned on her computer, she saw an overwhelming flood of marketing and promotion messages about Raine’s birthday.
“Raine Lidell celebrates her birthday today. Mr. Lidell has booked the grand banquet hall on the second floor of the magnificent Starlight Hotel to celebrate her birthday!”
Under the post, there were countless envious comments.
“Raine was born to be princess!”
“Yeah, I’m so jealous of Raine.”
“Her family’s rich, her parents adore her, and her brother dotes on her! Can I have that kind of life
instead?”
There were also many people sending birthday wishes to Raine.
Nancy looked at the photos of the banquet hall they had set up for Raine. It was stunning, much like a princess‘ castle.
The Lidell family’s treatment of Raine couldn’t be faulted.
Just then, her phone rang. It was an unknown number, but her intuition told her this was someone
she knew.
Nancy answered the call, and as expected, Raine’s voice came through, full of amusement. “Nancy, did you see the news online? Are you jealous?”
“Jealous of what?”
“Clearly, you’re the one biological daughter, but they only dote on me. You must be feeling pretty jealous right now, huh?” Raine said smugly.
“Nancy, just come back and admit your mistake. Mom said that if you apologize, they’ll tell everyone we’re twins.”
“Do you think you deserve that?” Nancy chuckled lightly.

Birthday Banquet
2/3
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before Raine’s voice turned cold. “Nancy, don’t be so shameless. You should know what’s good for you!”
“Isn’t it you who’s shameless? You’ve taken what isn’t yours and refuse to leave,” Nancy retorted.
Raine was unconvinced. “Only the ones who aren’t loved are outsiders. So what if you’re their biological daughter? The one they love is me! If you had any sense, you’d disappear immediately.”
“Very well. But I’m not sure if the netizens will think the same. How about we ask them?” Nancy said.
“You… What are you trying to do?” Raine suddenly panicked. “Nancy, don’t do anything stupid! Everything I just said was forced out of me!”
The more she spoke, the more frantic she became, and she hastily hung up the phone.
Nancy found it laughable and frustrating. Was this stupid and childish woman worthy of being her opponent?
Nancy didn’t feel a hint of jealousy. Setting her phone down, she came across a familiar profile picture by chance. It had been an unusually quiet day, especially considering that just a few days ago,
Gideon had been texting her every few hours.
She lowered her gaze, feeling a deep sense of loss.
If Gideon really was like what Winter described, shouldn’t they be clearing things up immediately?
Just as Nancy was about to send him a message to clarify things, she received one from him. “Come to the third floor of Starlight Hotel tonight. I need to talk to you.”
She was momentarily stunned. Could it be that he had the same thoughts as her?
Perhaps, tonight would be their last night together.
She tried to ignore the pain deep inside.
