Chapter 187
“Bella.” Louisa was a bit heartbroken because Arabella’s identity had still not been publicly acknowledged, which made Louisa feel terribly sorry for her.
“It’s okay.” Arabella consoled her. She knew it was always best to keep a low profile and remain cautious. She understood the saying, “The taller the tree, the stronger the wind.”
Yolanda was still waving and posing, while Attlee and Olga were hand in hand, basking in their daughter’s limelight.
But before they had their fill of photos, the reporters suddenly scattered to chase after someone else!
They looked towards the source of the commotion and saw a luxurious motorhome parked in front of the theater. The driver, dressed in a high–end uniform, got out of the vehicle and respectfully opened the door for Serena
Serena stepped out of the motorhome, her every move radiating elegance.
She was the darling of a wealthy family. Compared to her, Yolanda was clearly out of her league!
Yolanda thought that by wearing a dress worth hundreds of thousands of dollars today, she could win everyone’s admiration, but she was too naive.
Serena’s gown, hairstyle, and jewelry complemented each other perfectly, and her demeanor was even more superior. Even her driver looked more sophisticated than the Murphy family’s driver!
The Murphy family’s driver looked like a thief who stole the emperor’s clothes and tried to pass off as the emperor, totally unsuitable for the occasion. Reporters flocked around Serena, then Kenneth and Louisa got out of the car. Their affectionate interactions drew a lot of attention.
Yolanda knew that her family had been outshone. She forced a smile and awkwardly said, “Mom, Dad, shall we go in first?”
Attlee was aware of the gap between him and Kenneth. If he tried to reach out now, he might be snubbed.
He didn’t want to lose face, so he, Olga, and Yolanda went inside first, planning to approach Kenneth later when the opportunity presented itself.
After all, Kenneth was the richest man in the country. There were so many people trying to get close to him. If he didn’t seize this opportunity, when would he? Serena was relishing the attention from the cameras. She could imagine how Arabella, trailing behind the crowd, must be feeling!
With an even brighter smile, she lifted her head and presented her most beautiful side to the cameras.
Meanwhile, Arabella was leisurely trailing behind the crowd, phone in hand, reading a new message.
[Helio, you didn’t come to the awards ceremony this year, and neither did Leonard. We’re all waiting for you, but without you guys, the ceremony feels so boring.
don’t even want to go out.]
Arabella replied while holding her phone, “Oh, I just arrived at the venue.”
The other person responded in surprise: [You’re at the venue? That’s great! I’ll be there soon. Where are you? I’ll have someone pick you up.]
“No need; I’m already inside.”
[That’s fantastic; the young ones will be thrilled to have you there today!]
Arabella realized they had misunderstood her intention and calmly replied, “I’m just here as an audience member.”
They thought Arabella was there as an audience member to observe the performance of this year’s winners and the arrangement of the awards ceremony.
“I’ve heard that this year’s winners are all very talented, but I haven’t heard their music yet, so I can’t judge their skills.”
“Arabella, if Leonard knew you were here, he would regret it so much.”
“He’s always wanted to meet you. He mentioned you a few days ago. If he knew you were coming, he would definitely have been the guest of honor at this awards ceremony.”
At this moment, a pretty sharp reporter noticed Arabella.
