Leah Rivers came well-prepared. Although she was briefly overwhelmed by Sydney Sullivan's aura for a few seconds, she quickly reacted. She said, looking grim, "I don't know what kind of grievances Aunt and Aunt Sullivan have, but Aunt is my invited guest, which means she's on my side. Both the Rivers and Sinclair families are shareholders of the Sinclair Corporation. If Young Master Sinclair can bring people to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, why can't I? Today, I insist on Aunt staying to accompany me!"
Her words were flawless.
She didn't directly address Sydney Sullivan's questioning because Natasha Phillips was indeed a mistress. No matter how one tries to rationalize it, Natasha Phillips is definitely a mistress interfering in someone else's family. Since the identity of the mistress can't be washed clean, she simply didn't bother and firmly stated that Natasha Phillips was her invited guest.
