When EX-wife's Identities are Revealed
Chapter 5
"Don't worry," Zachary said coldly and then signaled for a waiter to clean up the mess on the floor.
Sensing Beatrice's gaze, Lillian sneered and thought, "I thought Beatrice would be different after her years abroad, but it seems she's just as foolish and childish as before. I overestimated her."
As the commotion subsided, people engaged in conversation. Lillian affectionately linked her arm with Ashton's and headed towards the dessert area. As they passed by Zachary and Beatrice, she didn't spare them a glance, as if she hadn't seen them at all.
Zachary watched Lillian walk past without any intention of explaining, his forehead veins bulging, his face darkening.
Sensing his unusual mood, Beatrice felt uneasy and looked at Lillian with malice in her eyes.
The banquet proceeded as usual, and some people recognized Ashton and approached to discuss work-related matters.
Lillian felt a headache coming on from listening to their conversation, so she excused herself to find a quiet spot and have a drink alone.
Beatrice, who had been chatting with socialites, secretly observed Lillian's movements. When she saw Lillian standing alone, she exchanged pleasantries with other socialites and then walked toward her.
Lillian naturally noticed Beatrice's approach but acted as if she hadn't. She thought, 'I'm curious what tricks she's planning this time.'
"Lilli... Ms. Wilson, long time no see!"
