As these thoughts plagued Albert's mind, he couldn't help but shudder again. He grabbed the guest list subconsciously and wanted to see who else from the Jenkins family was attending the event. Apart from Barbara, there was another name on the list-Maria Jenkins. Maria Jenkins?

Albert read the familiar name in shock. "So, Mia was actually from the Jenkins family? Alas, what a pity!"

Although Albert wasn't interested in matters regarding the entertainment circle, he once read Maria's novel. He was not a fanatic, but he had to admit that Mia had a talent for writing.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected that Mia would be here tonight, let alone the fact that her fate would be sealed by Barbara. Albert shook his head and sighed wistfully.

He was a pill alchemist who had climbed the ranks through sheer will. He never had a powerful family to back him up. Thus, he could never understand what went on in the Jenkins family. Albert sighed again, feeling bad for what Maria would have to face tonight.
