Chapter 970


    Chapter 970 Shi IsX


    With a degree in fashion and a fashion designer who graduated from a design academy overseas,


    Shi sat among the audience.


    Before her pregnancy, she was a designer for the Jensen Group.


    When the silence was turning awkward, she figured it was time for her to save the show. Sticking out


    her slightly showing belly, she got up from her seat and strode toward the stage.


    Even in her pregnant state, she still wore high heels. Hence every step she took was done with care.


    The audience stared at Shi with stunned expressions when they saw her standing up.


    “Oh my gosh! Shi Jensen?”


    “So Ms. Shi isX?”


    “Ms. Shi sure kept a low profile.”


    “Yeah, she’s a winner in life being a well-known designer, and now that she’s even the future wife of


    The Shaws’ CEO.”


    Her lips curved into a smile as the praises from the crowd carried into Shi’s ears. Since no one


    stood up, she knew X didn’t want to reveal herself.


    / might as well help Richie out of this mess since X wants to lie low.


    She didn’t expect Richard’s expression to turn grim at her stupid, presumptuous decision.


    Richard directed his frigid gaze at She.


    He fixed his cold gaze on Shi and asked. “Why are youing up here?”


    Shi’s body stiffened. Oh, no… His gaze is so cold. Why is he looking at me (ike this?


    Calming her pounding heart, she opened her mouth and exined softly, “Richie… 1-1 just wanted to


    help you.”


    “Do you think I, Richard Shaw, need you to help me?” A cold smile curved Richard’s lips. A flicker of


    contempt shed past his eyes. “Or are you thinking of stealing the show? Dreaming of bing X?”


    “No… I didn’t!”


    Shi felt she was suffocating under Richard’s sharp, knowing gaze.


    Color drained from her face as she didn’t know how to exin her actions.


    Her vanity reached a new level after she got engaged to Richard.


    She enjoyed the fame that came with that, and the feeling of crushing Cassandra beneath her feet. The


    envious and jealous gazes the others gave her filled her with a sense of pride.


    Richard chuckled softly, but the amusement didn’t reach his eyes.


    “If you’re not, then what are you doing up here? I’m calling Ms. X and not you, my dear fiancee.”


    The way he addressed her as his dear fiancee was like a p across her face.


    Feeling humiliated, Shi wanted to return to her seat but figured that was embarrassing.


    She wanted to continue on but didn’t dare to take another step under Richard’s cutting gaze.


    Mortification washed over her.


    She wanted a hole to open up in the ground and swallow her whole.


    I’m his fiancee! Why can’t he leave some dignity for me? He basically pped me across my cheek for


    all to see.

    Shi was close to tears.


    In her moment of desperation, Richard’s voice sounded again. After a sigh, he muttered, “Ashlyn, do


    you want me to go down there and invite you up?”


    Ashlyn?


    Ashlyn’s features scrunched with frustration. Richard’s revtion had dampened her mood to watch


    Shi getting humiliated.


    / have already made myself clear. I don’t want to reveal my identity! What does Richard think he’s


    doing?


    She cast a disgruntled look at Richard and met his firm gaze.


    Following Richard’s line of sight, the crowd stared at Ashlyn with widened eyes and gaping mouths.


    “Did I hear it right? I heard Mr. Shaw call out Ashlyn’s name.”


    “I think so. I heard he called out Ashlyn too.”


    “Ashlyn is Ms. X?”


    “Oh, my gosh!”


    Sadie suffered the most shock. When she heard Richard call out Ashlyn’s name, she was


    thunderstruck.


    Suddenly, realization dawned upon her. She finally understood what Richard meant by her offending


    Ms. X.


    What the h*ll! I have offended Ashlyn, and she is the mysterious Ms. X.
