I then called several of Gerald's friends and close buddies, including Jonah. If the woman Gerald was having an affair with really was Jonah's mother, Sandra, I couldn't wait to see the expression on Jonah's face when he found them together in bed.
Everyone from Gerald's social circle, whether they were close friends or mere acquaintances, if I could reach them, I invited them all.
To ruin someone's reputation, you don't need to let the entire world know. You only need to ensure he is utterly disgraced in his own circle.
Outside the Hilton Hotel, I spotted the giant cake Jonah had arranged. Everyone looked at me with complex expressions.
I caught a hint of guilt in Jonah's eyes, he couldn't even meet my gaze. This rich playboy had already been through four marriages and divorces, living a life of wild indulgence.
"Clara, aren't we supposed to be celebrating Gerald's birthday? Why did we end up at the Hilton Hotel?" They all asked curiously.
I smiled and explained, "It's because Gerald and I planned it this way. It's hard to clean up at home and given my physical condition …" I left the sentence hanging and everyone quickly understood, tactfully not asking further questions.
"Alright, alright, let's head upstairs now, so Gerald doesn't have to wait too long." Gerald's parents, a whole host of relatives, about a dozen people, all smiled and followed behind Jonah, who was pushing the three-tier cake. They couldn't wait to see the surprised expression on Gerald's face.
I didn't know the exact room number. So, I approached the front desk, asking for Gerald's room number, saying that I was there to celebrate my husband's birthday.
Normally, hotels don't disclose guests' information. But after I explained my purpose, with the impressive crowd behind me and the eye-catching massive cake,The receptionist believed me completely and gave me the room number.
"Gerald is going to be so happy tonight."
"I can't wait to see him so moved he cries tears of joy."
"He has always been such a sensible child. The last time we celebrated his birthday together was before his wedding." Everyone was chatting excitedly.
For the grand occasion of her son's birthday, Gerald's mother had dressed up in her finest, elegantly prepared for the event.
Every single person there took this birthday party very seriously. After all, the Clarke Family was wealthy and influential.
