The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 464 Sitting Alone on A Bench
Johanna was relieved in her heart to see that Janet and the other designers were getting along well. She said to Janet, “I’ll go say hi to Mrs. Blake now.”
Lila was ignored in the meantime.
At this sort of fashion party, people usually chatted together in groups. At just a glance, Lila appeared to be isolated and she looked a little embarra*s*sed. Everyone walked past her and proceeded to ignore her. After all, the White family announced that Janet was their biological daughter, which immediately turned Lila into a joke.
With a glassof wine clutched in her hand, Lila sat there rather awkwardly. She used to be popular at all the parties, but now, she was sitting alone. As she sat there, she caught sight of a familiar man. Levi Glyn had been one of her craziest admirers.
The Glyn family started from scratch, engaging in the real estate business. Originally, Lila looked down upon them, but no one was willing to talk to her right then. And she didn’t want to be made into a joke here.
With a glassof wine in her hand, Lila made her way up to Levi with a smile on her face and said, “Levi, what a nice surprise to see you here. I thought you didn’t like such parties.”
If this was in the past, Levi would have felt overjoyed. that she wanted to talk to him. However, hearing her words now, Levi turned around and said in an indifferent voice, “My dad asked me to come here. He said Mrs. White would show up today.”
Lila smiled and said, “Yeah, my mom likes these sorts of events. She usually has a lot of time on her hands.”
Hearing her words, Levi only gave her a perfunctory answer. He simply took a sip of the red wine in his glassand turned his head to check out Janet.
“Enjoy yourself. I’ll go talk with them now. Please excuse me.” After having said that, Levi made his way toward Janet.
Lila was startled, to say the least.
After that, she could make out Levi enthusiastically introducing himself to Janet, “Miss White, I’m Levi Glyn, the eldest son of the Glyn family. It just so happens that we live in the same neighborhood. I heard that it’s your first time in Barnes. If you’re feeling bored and want to hang out, you can call me at any time. I’m very familiar with the city.”
Levi wore the same warm smile he used to give Lila once. Lila’s heart sank in her chest.
She figured that he changed his att*itude toward her because she was no longer known as the daughter of the White family. Everyone who had originally wanted to fawn over her had turned to Janet.
Lila trembled so hard that she almost couldn’t hold her glass. This was the first time that she had experienced just how snobbish people could be.
At the same time, she was feeling very resentful toward Janet. She bit her lip so hard that it bled. All this should’ve belonged to her, but now, it had all been taken away by that Janet!
While she was burying herself in hatred, Janet was talking happily with all the designers and celebrities.
In less than ten minutes, a lot of people were gathered around Janet, who didn’t even seem to notice it herself. They all looked at her with flattering smiles on their faces.
“Miss White, if you need cloth for any of your designs, my company can provide them for you at any time,” a clothing supplier said right away when he heard that Janet was a fashion designer.
The CEO of a clothing design company said to her, “My company has the very best pattern makers in the world. Miss White, you can borrow them at any time.”
Janet knew that this was all because she was now known as the biological daughter of the White family.
“All right, I’ll contact you if I need anything,” Janet answered with a pleasant smile.
Suddenly, a scream sounded out from the crowd, “Look over there! He’s here!”
Everyone looked over to where that person was pointing at, including Janet. The door of the banquet hall was opened from the inside by the staff members.
The light was a bit dim, but the man who had just walked in appeared very eye-catching. Everyone couldn’t resist but fix their eyes on him.
The man, who was wearing a black suit, looked both elegant and handsome at the same time. A faint mole could be seen on the bridge of his nose and he had charming eyes with the slightest hint of indifference in them.
