Chapter 180
\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 180<\/p>\n
As night fell, more and more guests began arriving.<\/p>\n
After seeing to her friends from the entertainment industry, Melissa went outside to welcome the guests.<\/p>\n
Today, she wore a custom strapless gown, showing off her elegant collarbones and radiating a charming allure.<\/p>\n
Standing with her family, she seemed warmly engaged in greeting the guests while occasionally glancing outside with a hint of impatience.<\/p>\n
She was wondering if Morris would come tonight.<\/p>\n
The next moment, a graceful figure entered through the hotel entrance.<\/p>\n
Melissa’s face lit up with a warm smile. “Yulia, you made it! Come over here, and let’s take a photo together.”<\/p>\n
She then took Yulia by the hand for a photo in front of the backdrop.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey, seeing Yulia, was delighted as well.<\/p>\n
The last time he was attacked by Cherise, it was Yulia who had helped him recover, so seeing her now brought him a deep sense of comfort.<\/p>\n
Shirley, however, was less than pleased. Outwardly, she appeared welcoming, but inside, she couldn’t help feeling a twinge of discomfort.<\/p>\n
She had to admit, Yulia was captivating, with a graceful beauty similar to Cherise’s, though perhaps not as striking.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Muller, welcome! You’re my lifesaver, and it’s wonderful to have you at our engagement party,” Jeffrey said warmly.<\/p>\n
“I heard Yulia will be working in Betrico soon, so I made sure to invite her,” Melissa added.<\/p>\n
Yulia responded with a cheerful smile, “Congratulations to you both! You make such a lovely couple. Wishing you happiness!”<\/p>\n
The other guests were equally enthusiastic to greet Yulia from Hamolica because she was connected to the prestigious Muller family.<\/p>\n
Yulia’s arrival on the red carpet had already stirred quite a buzz online.<\/p>\n
[Who is that? She’s stunning! I’ve never seen her among Betrico’s socialites.]<\/p>\n
[I pride myself on knowing all the prominent young ladies around here, but even I’ve never seen her before. She carries herself with elegance and poise. She must come from a powerful family.]<\/p>\n
[There have been so many attractive people in Betrico lately. First, Cherise, and now this young lady. As someone who loves beauty, I’m delighted!]<\/p>\n
After entering the hotel lobby, Dora and Jason briefly exchanged pleasantries with the Chambers and Leach families before heading into the banquet hall.<\/p>\n
As soon as they left, Shirley, puzzled, turned to Jeffrey and asked, “Jeffrey, who is that woman? Is she someone really important? Why did your father invite her?” She remembered she’d seen Dora at a car dealership with Cherise before.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey nodded and leaned in to whisper in her ear, “That’s Dora Xenakis, the CEO of the GlobalVision Group. Quite a powerhouse. Why? Have you met her before?”<\/p>\n
Shirley’s eyes widened in surprise. Ruby had mentioned it before, but Shirley hadn’t taken it seriously.<\/p>\n
At that moment, she couldn’t help but think, ‘This is odd. How could Cherise know the CEO of the GlobalVision Group?’<\/p>\n
“Shirley, what’s up? You seem distracted.” Jeffrey noticed Shirley was spacing out and tapped her shoulder.<\/p>\n
Shirley snapped back to reality and replied, “Nothing, I’m just a bit tired.”<\/p>\n
Jeffrey affectionately draped his arm around Shirley’s shoulder and said, “Just hang in there a bit longer. Tonight, we can finally…”<\/p>\n
He raised his eyebrows at Shirley with a hint of suggestion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-205","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
