    Chapter 66


    Jennifer felt a rush of relief upon seeing him, and she clung to him, sobbing uncontrobly while pointing at Sheena. “Eli, you


    have to believe me! It was her who did this to me! It must be her! My family paid four million dors for the First Snow! There’s no


    way this can be a fake! She must''ve switched the gowns when | wasn’t looking!”


    Elijah listened quietly, looking at Sheena with an unreadable gaze.


    Kennedy grabbed the microphone, attempting to salvage the situation. “I’m sorry about this, everyone. Jennifer is feeling quite


    emotional tonight, and I''ll have Vanessa take her back to her room to calm down before she returns. As for the knockoff First


    Snow, we are just as puzzled as all of you. The four million dors were indeed transferred to Ms. Zoe’s ount, which is


    verifiable. However, | assure you I''ll thoroughly investigate this matter and provide an exnation for this incident!”


    He nced at the audience and bowed apologetically before giving a stern look to Vanessa, signaling her to remove Jennifer


    from the scene.


    Vanessa nodded and quickly ushered Jennifer away with the help of the servants. As Jennifer’s crying voice faded, the


    atmosphere in the hall remained charged with controversy.


    Kennedy scanned the crowd, and his dissatisfaction with Jennifer grew stronger. He had thought that bringing this illegitimate


    daughter back to the family would save the Moore family, but it seemed he had brought back a disaster instead.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    This banquet escted into a massive embarrassment right from the start!


    He was truly regretting his decision.


    With the spotlight no longer focused on the stage and the crowd engrossed in discussing Jennifer’s situation, the attention on


    Sheena lessened.


    Sheena turned around and got ready to leave the stage, but she caught someone’s unwavering gaze fixed on her.


    Elijah’s lips were tightly pursed, and it was hard to tell if he was angry or lost in thought.


    Feeling annoyed by his intense stare, Sheena raised an eyebrow and looked back at him. With a teasing smile, she asked,


    “What''s wrong? Are you bothered that your fiancee was embarrassed by me?”


    Elijah’s unwavering gaze still bore into her, assessing her from head to toe.


    Sheena could not decipher the meaning behind his gaze, nor was she interested in doing so. She was about to leave when he


    spoke again, his deep voice carrying a hint of concern.


    “How are you holding up?”


    She thought his words felt oddly out of character.


    “I''m perfectly fine. | just witnessed someone making a big fool out of herself,” she replied. Then, she went to find Skye.


    However, Sheena could sense a lingering gaze fixed on her from behind, causing her to pick up her pace.


    With Jennifer no longer causing a scene, Kennedy resumed his role as the attentive host, and gradually, the guests’ discussions


    started to die down. After all, they were still on someone else’s turf, and it was inappropriate to be too rude.


    In about an hour, the banquet’s atmosphere returned to its harmonious state.


    As a result of the recent events, Skye had be Sheena’s enthusiastic fan, staring at her in


    awe.


    “Your Majesty, do you need a loyal sidekick? I’m sweet, obedient, and quite a catch. Will you reconsider my offer?”


    Elijah was mingling close by, discreetly observing the situation. Upon hearing Skye’s words, his expression darkened instantly.


    Sheena, on the other hand, used her fingertip to nudge Skye’s head away yfully. “Go away. I’m not interested in immature kids


    who are too young to get married.”


    Elijah’s demeanor returned to normal, and he continued to engage in pleasant conversation with other CEOS.


    However, Skye’s enthusiasm quickly faded as he muttered in frustration, “I don’t care! I''ll be old enough to marry in a few years!


    If you''re still not married by then, I''ll definitely marry you, Sheena!”


    Seeing his determination, Sheena could only shake her head with a bemused smile.


    Now that the situation had finally calmed down, Kennedy took the opportunity to address the audience. He took the stage and


    began his formal speech, “I’m delighted to have you all here to wee my youngest daughter, Jennifer, home. However, aside


    from inviting you to enjoy the banquet, there’s another significant matter concerning the Moore family that we need to announce


    tonight!”
