Chapter 126

Amelia was one of the Green family members, so she arrived very early at the event.

Emma followed behind her mother, displaying a graceful demeanor. Her slender neck was as elegant as that of a white swan. When she arrived, she instantly attracted many admiring eyes.

There were people who gasped and covered their mouths as they exclaimed softly, “Oh my god, the gown she’s wearing is Mr. Abel’s Angel. It has just been displayed to the public, and she’s wearing it now. The Taylor family really showers her with love.”

As more and more guests arrived, more and more gazes fell on Emma.

All of them were captivated by her unresistible charm.

“This must be the eldest daughter of the Taylor family. She’s so beautiful. She’s even prettier than a celebrity,” someone murmured.

Suddenly, the person beside him tugged on his wrist and said in a low voice, “She’s the younger daughter. The eldest is Olivia. The Taylor family has just found Olivia and reunited with her recently.”

“Oh, right.” The person suddenly realized it. “I almost forgot. I just attended Miss Olivia’s welcome party earlier this year. That’s strange. Mrs. Taylor and Miss Emma are both here. Why hasn’t Miss Taylor arrived yet? The Green family is her maternal family.”

“Well, I guess they’re probably too ashamed to bring her out,” someone sneered. “I heard that compared to Miss Emma, Miss Olivia is distinctly inferior to her sister. She can’t hold a candle to Miss Emma.”

“Of course. Miss Emma graduated from a top university overseas and worked at the United Nations before. She established her own beauty brand when she was just a teenager. On the other hand, Miss Olivia grew up away from her family, having no money or resources. How can she possibly compare to Miss Emma?”

When Emma heard everyone praising her and disparaging Olivia, her eyes sparkled with pride.

“In the 19 years before Olivia came into the picture, I’ve always been the center of everyone’s attention.

Even among the many socialites, I always stand out.

1.5 14561 “My life is supposed to be like that.”

15 vouchers Emma’s eyes suddenly turned grim when she thought about it. There was a hint of resentment on her face.

“It’s all Olivia’s fault. She’s a bitch! Why did she come back? She threatens my position and takes away the Taylor family’s assets. Apart from that, she also captures Ethan’s attention.”

Emma had endured enough. From that day onwards, she would put Olivia down and trample on her, making her disappear completely from the upper class.

Amelia was busy entertaining the guests at the side. Most of them were her close acquaintances and shared a degree of closeness with her. However, closeness did not mean that their relationship was based on emotional connections and mutual respect. Rich women like them lived their lives in constant comparison. Before they got married, they compared their families‘ wealth and their educational qualifications. After they got married, they compared their husbands‘ and their children’s achievements.

They competed against each other all the time.

“By the way, Amelia, where is your eldest daughter? The one called Olivia,” A woman asked. appearing somewhat puzzled.

A woman next to her chimed in and teased Amelia. “Don’t tell me you can’t bear to bring her out? Why are you hiding your daughter? Are you worried that we’ll say something bad about her?”

Hearing them talking about Olivia, Amelia’s face stiffened. When she thought about Olivia’s simple sportswear and casual shoes, wearing not a single piece of branded clothing, she felt embarrassed.

She forced a smile and said. “Olivia is shy.”

“I can imagine that.” Another woman immediately added, “She’s probably not used to such a big occasion and feeling nervous.” Her tone sounded friendly, but her words were mean. “How would a girl raised by a humble family know what the life of the upper class is like? She probably doesn’t even know any etiquette. I know an etiquette teacher. Amelia, would you want to hire one for Olivia?”

This is so humiliating.

Amelia had never been so ashamed in her life Ever since she was young, she had always been the most dazzling and envied person among her best friends. Unexpectedly, when she was old, she was being shamed because of her daughter.

An evil thought suddenly appeared in Amelia’s mind.

She wished Olivia was dead.

“If she were dead, I wouldn’t be embarrassed by her. If she were dead, she would always be as innocent and cute as when she was five years old and wouldn’t bring disgrace to me.

“Why didn’t she just die?”

Amelia gnashed her teeth.

Just as she was seething with resentment, a sudden exclamation could be heard at the door.

The attendees of the birthday party were all prominent figures in Evervale. Even if they were in shock, they would maintain their composure. However, there were constant exclamations here and there in the room.

One could imagine how shocked everyone was that they could help exclaiming.

“Has an important guest arrived?” Amelia wondered.

She looked at the door. The other women also directed their gazes at the entrance.

Under the dim lights, a tall and slender woman slowly walked in.

She moved against the light, like a graceful lady who had stepped out of a classical painting.

There was no makeup on her face. Her bright eyes, pearl–like teeth, and radiant skin required no cosmetics to enhance them. She was also not wearing any accessories. Her medium–length hair was casually tucked behind her ear.

It revealed an exquisite round ear. Under the contrast of her dark–brown hair, her earlobes gleamed white.

She was dressed in an apricot slim–fit dress. There were no decorations on it, but as she moved, it seemed as though a golden mist was emanating from her, and it was dazzling.

She commanded everyone’s attention She was so stunning. It was hard to say exactly what was beautiful about her, but people couldn’t take their eyes off her.

After a while, a woman beside Amelia finally looked away. She covered her chest and mouth and exclaimed, “Who is this lady? She has such a strong presence, like…”

“Like a queen,” someone answered.

Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads silently.

They thought that only a queen would possess such a powerful presence. These women were used to seeing fine things. They had sophisticated taste and high aesthetic standards. They were amazed by Emma because of the gown. But they were impressed by that woman’s beauty purely because of her own beauty.

Even though Angel was glamorous, Emma couldn’t carry the gown well. It didn’t flatter her. Instead, the dress made her look like a plastic mannequin.

The first thing other people noticed was the gown. They would only look at Emma afterward.

However, the woman before them was different. No one paid any attention to her clothes and accessories at all. They could only see her.

“Who is this?”

Everyone regained their senses and began to wonder about the woman’s identity.

“She’s so gorgeous. Oh my god, I was completely in awe just now.”

“No, no, she’s more than being gorgeous. Gorgeous can’t describe her beauty at all. She has a unique charisma. The strong impact makes me feel like I’m about to die.”

The beautiful woman’s arrival sparked a heated discussion. Even the women beside Amelia began to discuss softly who that was.

Only Amelia had a complicated expression on her face. After being in a trance for a moment, she muttered, “Olivia.”

“What did you say?” Her voice was so soft that no one around her could hear her clearly.

Amelia composed herself and said in a clear voice, “She’s Olivia.” “What?”

“Olivia?”

“It is Olivia?”

“The country pumpkin who had been raised away from her family for 18 years? The ignorant who had just been found?”
