Chapter 66
Jennifer felt a rush of relief upon seeing him, and she clung to him, sobbing uncontrollably while pointing at Sheena. âEli, you have to believe me! It was her who did this to me! It must be her! My family paid four million dollars for the First Snow! Thereâs no way this can be a fake! She mustâve switched the gowns when I wasnât looking!â
Elijah listened quietly, looking at Sheena with an unreadable gaze.
Kennedy grabbed the microphone, attempting to salvage the situation. âIâm sorry about this, everyone. Jennifer is feeling quite emotional tonight, and Iâll have Vanessa take her back to her room to calm down before she returns. As for the knockoff First Snow, we are just as puzzled as all of you. The four million dollars were indeed transferred to Ms. Zoeâs account, which is verifiable. However, I assure you Iâll thoroughly investigate this matter and provide an explanation for this incident!â
He glanced at the audience and bowed apologetically before giving a stern look to Vanessa, signaling her to remove Jennifer from the scene.
Vanessa nodded and quickly ushered Jennifer away with the help of the servants. As Jenniferâs crying voice faded, the atmosphere in the hall remained charged with controversy.
Kennedy scanned the crowd, and his dissatisfaction with Jennifer grew stronger. He had thought that bringing this illegitimate daughter back to the family would save the Moore family, but it seemed he had brought back a disaster instead.
This banquet escalated into a massive embarrassment right from the start!
He was truly regretting his decision.
With the spotlight no longer focused on the stage and the crowd engrossed in discussing Jenniferâs situation, the attention on Sheena lessened.
Sheena turned around and got ready to leave the stage, but she caught someoneâs unwavering gaze fixed on her.
Elijahâs lips were tightly pursed, and it was hard to tell if he was angry or lost in thought.
Feeling annoyed by his intense stare, Sheena raised an eyebrow and looked back at him. With a teasing smile, she asked, âWhatâs wrong? Are you bothered that your fiancee was embarrassed by me?â
Elijahâs unwavering gaze still bore into her, assessing her from head to toe.
Sheena could not decipher the meaning behind his gaze, nor was she interested in doing so. She was about to leave when he spoke again, his deep voice carrying a hint of concern.
âHow are you holding up?â
She thought his words felt oddly out of character.
âIâm perfectly fine. I just witnessed someone making a big fool out of herself,â she replied. Then, she went to find Skye.
However, Sheena could sense a lingering gaze fixed on her from behind, causing her to pick up her pace.
With Jennifer no longer causing a scene, Kennedy resumed his role as the attentive host, and gradually, the guestsâ discussions started to die down. After all, they were still on someone elseâs turf, and it was inappropriate to be too rude.
In about an hour, the banquetâs atmosphere returned to its harmonious state.
As a result of the recent events, Skye had become Sheenaâs enthusiastic fan, staring at her in
awe.
âYour Majesty, do you need a loyal sidekick? Iâm sweet, obedient, and quite a catch. Will you reconsider my offer?â
Elijah was mingling close by, discreetly observing the situation. Upon hearing Skyeâs words, his expression darkened instantly.
Sheena, on the other hand, used her fingertip to nudge Skyeâs head away playfully. âGo away. Iâm not interested in immature kids who are too young to get married.â
Elijahâs demeanor returned to normal, and he continued to engage in pleasant conversation with other CEOS.
However, Skyeâs enthusiasm quickly faded as he muttered in frustration, âI donât care! Iâll be old enough to marry in a few years! If youâre still not married by then, Iâll definitely marry you, Sheena!â
Seeing his determination, Sheena could only shake her head with a bemused smile.
Now that the situation had finally calmed down, Kennedy took the opportunity to address the audience. He took the stage and began his formal speech, âIâm delighted to have you all here to welcome my youngest daughter, Jennifer, home. However, aside from inviting you to enjoy the banquet, thereâs another significant matter concerning the Moore family that we need to announce tonight!â
