Fene’s POV


    Perhaps because I was wearing ck pump shoes that were pointy high, everyone looked small in my eyes. They watched me with their heads slightly upturned. But somehow I knew it was all just my imagination brought on by my soaring confidence.


    I felt great!


    Some people we knew, like Jemima Hors, Oscar de Ragetti, and other celebrities, immediately surrounded n and me. They immediately praised us, especially my appearance, which was considered elegant and luxurious for a g dinner.


    “Oh, Fene, I’m so happy to see you again, darling.” Oscar gave me a quick peck on both cheeks.


    “Yeah, I was afraid I’d never see you again after thatmercial,” Jemima said with a chuckle.


    “Why? Do you think I’m going to kill myself like the people on my social media asked me to?” I chuckled, though my tone of voice was quite sharp as a sarcasm to those who left me alone when I was down.


    “Oh, of course not, dear. I’m d you ignored those horrible haters. Besides, scandals pass like the wind. Give them some time, and they’ll be gone. We have to focus on our preparations for next month’s fashion show instead,” Oscar waved a hand and rolled his eyes.


    “My girl is a tough ass, isn’t she?” The corners of n’s lips turned up, showing his pride in me, whom he now imed as his own.


    “I’m so jealous right now.”


    A female voice said, catching our attention. n and I quickly turned to see Mallory West looking stunning in a tight white dress, contrasting with her brown hair. She was apanied by Roger, her manager, and her boyfriend. Seeing her, n and the people around us were immediately cheered in excitement to greet her.


    “Hello, Fene. Good to see you again.” Mallory smiled sweetly and wrapped her arms around me quickly to kiss both sides of my cheeks.


    “Yes, Mallory. Nice to see you again too.” I shed my usual fake smile even though I could still feel a pang in my heart for her.


    “I’m d you guys were able to mend your rtionship,” Mallory said with a big smile.


    “Oh, well, that’s how feelings are-unpredictable.” I shrugged.


    “And we’re engaged,” n said loudly so everyone around us could hear him. They all immediately burst into joy when they heard n’s announcement.


    “Show us the engagement ring.”


    They demanded that I show them our diamond engagement ring. I sighed in faked exasperation and raised my hand to reveal the ring finger studded with thetest premium Prestishe diamond ring. They immediately burst intoughter and ‘ooh-aahs’ of admiration and surrounded me.


    “Wow, congrattions,” Roger saidzily.


    “Yeah, congrattions!”


    This time another female voice squealed from behind us. I immediately saw Amy’s figure wearing a sparkling gold-colored dress. Really, she couldn’t be more striking than that.


    The people around us, Mallory’s circle of friends, immediately greeted Amy. They hurriedly praised Amy’s appearance and exchanged greetings and salutations. Although, at a nce, I could see a slight twitch and a look of annoyance from Oscar-that guy was the worst at hiding his feelings. But something seemed to force them to obey Amy, and I think I already knew what it was.


    “You know, the main event is about to start, so I hope you can get into the main ballroom soon.” Amy spread her arms and led the celebrities away from me.


    “Come on, baby,” n invited me to leave, but Amy gently held n’s arm.


    “You can go first, honey. I want to have a quick word with my future sister-inw in private,” Amy said with her eyes narrowed at me.


    “I don’t take orders from you, Amy,” I said in a cold tone.


    “Hey,dies, please behave. If you can’t y nice, I swear I will-”


    “Fuck off, n!” Amy growled. We stunned as we watched Amy start to show the irritation she was harboring. Realizing that she was scaring n, she cleared her throat and raised a sweet smile at me.


    “Believe me, n, I just want to have a little chat with her without having to be interrupted by anyone.” Amy blinked her eyes as if she were still the sweet and friendly Amy.


    “Five minutes. If she’s not back in five minutes, I’ll pick her up.”


    n raised his open palm. Amy snorted and raised her finger to gesture for me to follow her. I then nced at n and nodded my head to him.


    “Don’t worry. I’ll be back in a minute.” I said to him.


    Amy then led me to a polished wooden door, and she opened it. It was a small room with a simple bed and table. It seemed to be a guest room.


    “Alright, tell me the truth now, Fene. Did you get engaged to n to get back at me?”


    Amy asked matter-of-factly. She scrunched up one waist as she stared at me with pursed lips.


    “No.”


    “Then, did youe near n knowing you could make me miserable by pretending to be my sister-inw?”


    “No.”


    “Don’t y games with me, Fene. There’s no way you sincerely love n. He’s a mess, and no one would want him if it wasn’t for his money.” Amy snorted and shook her head.


    “Oh, Amy. I really feel sorry for you. Now I know where n learned such a misbelief.” I frowned, pretending to give her a concerned look.


    “We’re going to start recording this, Fene,” the FBImander whispered faintly in my ear.


    “Say whatever you want. In the end, you’re just the same naive girl you were in high school. Don’t you know how money can move everything? No need to be hypocritical.” Amy grinned viciously.


    “Not with me. I wasn’t moved by the money n had, but by the sincerity of his heart toward me all these years.” I still replied coldly to Amy’s words.


    “Total bullshit. No need to pretend. I’m sure you approached him, and you epted him because of the money. He now looks sessful as a billionaire, has a perfect physique, and has a face that women love. That’s your reason.” Amy began to step closer to me.


    “You’re wrong again, Amy. The physique won’tst, the face will wrinkle, and the money will be gone in no time.”


    “Though I admit, I’m amazed at what he’s aplished through the hard work of his own hands. At least he didn’t sell his soul to someone like you.” I hissed back by narrowing my eyes at her.


    Hearing my words, Amyughed. Her shrillughter sounded horrible and left me stunned. My eyes blinked at her unexpected reaction. But once again I could see how Amy’s temper infected n’s arrogant temper.


    “Oh, Devil. I don’t know how else to pity you, Fene. You want to insult me by praising n, but you’re the one at fault here.” Amy then took a breath and controlled her annoying fakeughter.


    “You’re saying that all of n’s aplishments are the result of his own hard work? Well, you’re dead wrong, Fene.” Amy leaned toward me, and this time her face contorted with an angry glint in her eyes.


    “Everything n has is my money. n wouldn’t be as sessful as he is now if it wasn’t for me marrying Peter.”


    “I introduced n to Peter. I let Peter invest in n’spany to such an extent. That money should have gone to my charity. I’m Peter’s legal wife, so all of Peter’s money should be mine.” Amy emphasized every word ‘I’.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “No, you’re not. Peter has nothing to do with n’s business. It’s all n’s own money and his investors. I saw the shareholder chart on the inte myself.” I scrunched my face in denial.


    “Well, duh. All the investors are shellpanies, and they all belong to Peter.” Amy rolled up her eyes.
