Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 290

Peter gave them a resigned shrug. “The main reason is that I can't show my face today. That's why she rejected me.”

Isn't he too confident about his looks?

Gwendolyn paid no attention to him. After all, she thought Patrick was the most handsome man in the world. No matter how dashing this man before her was, she had no feelings toward him, nor was she interested in finding out.

She calmly raised her glass again and took another sip of the wine. Patrick, if you still can't find me, then I'm leaving.

Gwendolyn, who often liked throwing tantrums, was upset and rather hot-tempered at that moment.

She couldn't believe that he would lose her. This is simply ridiculous.

Out of the group of men and women, Felicia spotted Gwendolyn at one glance. That was because the necklace on the latter's neck was something Felicia's aunts had wanted to buy, and Felicia thought it was merely a cheap necklace.

She couldn't believe that Gwendolyn would wear something that cost fifty bucks to a party like this.

Her lips curled up into a cold smirk as she whispered to the girl beside her, “I know who she is now. She's the daughter of my family's housekeeper. I don't know how she sneaked in, but I recognize the necklace around her neck. She bought it at a roadside stall, and it costs less than a hundred.”

The girl Felicia spoke to was fond of Peter and was also his ex-girlfriend. As long as Peter didn't find a new girlfriend today, she could continue staying by his side.

As she really liked Peter, she absolutely despised anyone else on whom the man set his eyes.

Upon hearing Felicia's words, she tilted her head upward. It turned out the woman Peter was talking to was merely a lowly daughter of a housekeeper. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Anyone who dared to steal her man practically had a death wish.

She walked over and reached out to tug the necklace off Gwendolyn's neck.

Before she could do that, Gwendolyn grabbed her hand. “What are you doing?”

The girl snorted in response. “You got this necklace from a roadside stall, didn't you? It doesn't even have a single rhinestone. It likely costs ten bucks at most.”

As she said that, she glanced at Peter, who was at the side.

“Darling, don't tell me that you like this type of woman too?”

Felicia crossed her arms in front of her chest as she watched the scene coldly. Her lips curled up into a smirk, and she felt satisfied deep down.

Gwendolyn, just wait till you embarrass yourself at a place like this filled with socialites.

The group of girls who were beside Gwendolyn also glanced at the necklace. All of them were from wealthy families or families of officials, and they were familiar with jewelry. With just one look at a gemstone, they could guess how much it cost.

Not only that, but they could even tell what brand it was.

When they saw the necklace on Gwendolyn's neck, they didn't see any diamonds. Furthermore, the necklace was also of poor quality and was unlike the quality of necklaces they had at the moment.

Hence, all of them assumed it was a counterfeit. Although it only seemed decent on the outside, in reality, it was something very cheap.

Those in their circle especially looked down on those who wore imitations and believed such people didn't deserve to attend their gatherings.

“Excuse me, miss. Are you trying to challenge Kevin by wearing a counterfeit to his birthday party?”

The Chavez family was, after all, one of the four most prominent families in Avenport. They were of exceptional status, and Kevin's friends would naturally be of affluent backgrounds.

As such, they felt Gwendolyn must have snuck in, and she wasn't worthy of being here.

Gwendolyn glanced at them and met their gazes.

In a calm voice, she responded, “Why don't you ask Kevin if I'm trying to challenge him here?”

When the woman who liked Peter heard that, there was a cold gleam in her gaze. I can't believe she's still trying to fight back at a time like this. She truly has a death wish!

As soon as the woman tightened her grip, Gwendolyn grabbed the former's thumb and threw the woman over her shoulder.

The woman fell to the floor heavily, and the mask slipped off her face. The miserable expression on her countenance made those around her feel her pain as well.

“She hit me! She hit me...” she sobbed.

In an instant, everyone else turned their attention toward them. There was even a spotlight that shone onto them.

Gwendolyn stood in the spotlight with her slender figure, and the diamond on her silver mask glinted brilliantly under the light.

She outshone every other woman who was present. Although they couldn't see her face, her outfit— coupled with the aura she exuded—was enough to make her stand out from the crowd.
