Maybe out of fear that my emotions would erupt again, Gerald's mother agreed, albeit reluctantly. She said, "Clara, I'm glad you've come to terms with everything. Quarrels and scuffles are normal between couples. Seeing you gather everyone to celebrate his birthday tonight will surely make Gerald very happy."
I smiled, replying calmly, "Don't worry, Mom. I guarantee this birthday will be unforgettable for Gerald. Make sure to bring all the relatives along." Over the phone, his mother eagerly agreed.
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.
