The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 40

Chapter 40 At eight o’clock in the evening, the villa of the Mellis family was crowded with guests. In addition to their relatives, all the guests were from the upper class. Emma stood quietly beside Jack and greeted the guests with a smile from time to time. But she couldn’t be happy at all. Her daughter was still in a coma, and Jack would bring his mistress’ daughter back, telling everyone she was their daughter. But she also knew that there was no boy in the Mellis family, and her only daughter had become like that. She could only listen to Jack if she didn’t want the Mellis family to collapse. Therefore, no matter how upset she was, she had to pretend to love Nancy. “Look! It’s Miss Nancy!” Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone’s eyes in the hall instantly followed the spotlight and looked at the second floor. Nancy had exquisite makeup on and a decent smile on her face. Her fairy dress made her look elegant. She walked down the stairs gracefully. The crowd suddenly became lively, cheering and cheering around her. A wealthy lady held Emma’s hand and praised her. “Mrs. Mellis, you’re so blessed. Your youngest daughter is so beautiful, and your fiance is the president of the Fallen Group. I’m so envious.” Another lady chimed in, “That’s right. Mr. Fallen is handsome, young, and powerful. They’re a perfect match. Mrs. Mellis, you’re so lucky!” “I am also envious that you both have daughters and sons…” She clenched her fists and smiled like a chrysanthemum. At this moment, Edgar was sitting quietly with a blank expression. Although he didn’t say a word, his noble aura made it difficult for others to ignore his existence. Nancy felt the flattering or envious eyes of the crowd and enjoyed the attention very much. Many rich young men had fixed their eyes on her ever since she showed up. Nancy also noticed that she deliberately walked very slowly down the stairs.

However… As soon as she was halfway up the stairs, there was another commotion in the crowd.

Someone shouted, “Mr. Walker is here!” Everyone turned their heads and looked at the door again. The young and handsome Tom walked over step by step with his female companion. His unique identity made people even more excited. When people looked sideways, the first one they noticed was Grace, who was next to him. She wore a pure white dress that accentuated her snow-white skin. Today’s makeup was light and Jie Billionako Ex-wife 12.7% Chapter 40 elegant but unexpectedly complemented the dress The crowd exclaimed, and no one paid attention to Nancy Nancy was still standing in the middle of the stairs. She didn’t expect that her attention would be gone as soon as Grace appeared. Now she was stuck in the same place, and no one noticed her. She was mortified. What surprised her even more was that this bitc h could be so stunning even in that fake dress. The exquisite makeup she had spent the whole afternoon on was not as effective as that of the bitc h. She wondered, “Why? “What is so good about her?” Nancy was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She elegantly covered her mouth and coughed twice to regain her dignity. A guest, who was close to her, turned his head and glanced at her. He noticed that something was wrong and shouted, “Look! Mr. Walker’s female companion is wearing the same custom-made dress as Miss Nancy,” “Mr. Walker’s female companion is too stunning. I almost forget about Miss Nancy…”

The guests looked back and forth between them. Grace looked composed and confident, while Nancy looked awkward and defeated. Nancy was pis s e d off. This was not the effect she wanted to see! Soon, someone discovered something. “This dress seems to be the Winter designed by a famous foreign designer, Miss Zoey.” “Ah! It is!” “But the dress designed by Miss Zoey has always been the only one in the world. It’s hard to get it with money. How could there be two dresses of the Winter?” “Who is wearing a fake?” The crowd burst into an uproar, pushing the matter to the climax. The two were exactly the same, which meant one must be a high imitation! Seeing that things were finally back on track, Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. Jack and Emma were stunned. They didn’t expect such an episode. People started conversing, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly lit up. All the people present were from rich and powerful families and hated imitators. Fearing things would get out of hand, Emma walked to the microphone in the middle of the stands. Chapter 40 I’m sorry that such a thing happened today, and I’m also amazed, but I want to explain that I called Miss Zoey yesterday and bought the dress for 5 million dollars. It can’t be fake.” The crowd sighed again. Five million for an evening gown! It seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Morgen loved their youngest daughter very much! The guests looked at Nancy enviously again. After regaining her attention, Nancy held the stairs and walked steadily to the stand with Emma. The corners of her lips curled into a polite smile, showing her identity to everyone.

With Emma’s explanation, everyone believed it and concluded that what Grace was wearing was fake. Tom took a step forward to block the malicious gazes directed at Grace. Then he looked at Emma on the stage and sneered without showing any weakness. “Mrs. Mellis, do you mean that the dress my friend is wearing is a fake?” Emma didn’t know what to say. Jack was even more frightened. He was in a dilemma. If they admitted that the female companion of Mr. Walker was wearing a high-quality imitation, the Walker family would lose face. And the Mellis family may be targeted in the business world in the future. But admitting that his daughter was wearing a fake dress would affect their reputation too. The Mellis family would suffer heavy losses no matter what he chose. People were avidly gossiping. Mia suddenly stood up. “Did you buy her clothes yourself, Mr. Walker?” Tom Walker did not lie. “No.” “That’s right. Mr. Walker must have been deceived by her.” Mia smiled proudly, faced all the guests, and continued to explain, “I don’t think you know this woman. She is an orphan that my grandfather picked up from an orphanage. Her name is Grace. “She was a theft when she lived with us. My mother was too kind to kick her out. But we all know what kind of person she is. And there is no way that Miss Zoey would sell the dress to her. So she must be wearing a fake one.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
