Rebirth Swapped Bride; Married to the Ruthless Cursed Billionaire Chapter 213: First gift just got delivered
Just who is that woman?
Not only has she caught the attention of President Calvin, but she’s also on such intimate terms with Madam Luther?
Several socialites who had just been brushed off by Calvin watched the affectionate interaction between Camilla and Tiffany with undisguised astonishnt.
The Calvin family was already beyond their own families’ capacity to offend—what more if the Luther Family got involved?
Not daring to dwell on the implications, they imdiately clutched their wine glasses and retreated further into the shadows, desperate to avoid drawing any attention.
lissa pouted as she observed the cozy scene between Camilla and Tiffany, her expression clearly wounded.
How unfair of Miss Tiffany. First, she steals the man I like, and now she’s taking the woman I admire too?
Another one?
Seems Camilla doesn’t just charm n—she’s lethal with won as well.
Noticing lissa’s sulky expression, Calvin arched an eyebrow in amusent.
If Sinclair were here, he’d be drowning in vinegar by now.
Catching sight of lissa from the corner of her eye, Camilla turned with a gentle smile.
"lissa, co here quickly."
Taylor had left the capital for Sinclair’s sake, so she had to take good care of his little sister.
"Coming!"
lissa’s gloom vanished in an instant as she hurried over with a bright smile.
"Camilla," she greeted, then hesitated slightly upon spotting Tiffany before adding,
"...Miss Tiffany."
Tiffany had already noticed lissa’s feelings for Calvin and understood that the girl’s coldness stemd from a misunderstanding about her relationship with him.
Naturally, she didn’t take it to heart.
"Miss Taylor, this gown suits you perfectly. You look stunning."
Complints from another woman always felt more gratifying than those from n.
lissa glanced down at her dress, her long, thick lashes fluttering slightly.
"Really?"
With her brother absent, she had been second-guessing herself.
After all, this gown had been picked out by Vicente—a man with zero fashion sense—and she’d been worried it might not suit her.
"Absolutely," Tiffany nodded earnestly, her expression utterly sincere.
"Don’t believe ?
Ask Camilla."
lissa turned expectations to Camilla, waiting for her response.
"Tiffany’s right," said Camilla, who had just joined the conversation, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise as she glanced between the two.
"No one could pull off that gown better than you."
"You two know each other?
I was just about to introduce you."
"We ran into each other at the mall yesterday," Tiffany explained briefly, flashing a warm smile.
"I really like Miss Taylor—she’s adorable."
And she ant it. Soone like lissa, whose every emotion played openly across her face, was impossible not to find endearing.
lissa felt a mix of delight and frustration.
Damn it.
Why couldn’t she bring herself to dislike this woman?
Their conversation was abruptly cut off by the booming voice of grandpa Porter.
"Ladies and gentlen, thank you for gracing us with your presence."
Grandpa Porter stood on the elevated platform at the center of the grand hall, gazing down with a gratified smile softening his aged features.
"Welco to the engagent banquet of my granddaughter Sandra and Tyler."
After offering a few words of blessing, he gracefully yielded the stage to Jonathan and others.
anwhile, lissa and Tiffany had sohow struck up a conversation.
Though they’d only just t, it seed as if they had endless topics to discuss.
Such is the way of won’s friendships—they blossom in an instant.
Standing quietly behind them, Vicente observed the surroundings with an indifferent expression.
"When does the real show begin?"
Calvin sidled up to Camilla, taking a slow sip from his glass before posing the question in a asured tone.
Camilla glanced at the ti, her crimson lips parting slightly.
"Less than ten minutes now."
"Tsk, tsk.
Sinclair actually asked to protect you," Calvin shook his head, his eyes narrowing with amusent.
"From what I can see, wherever you appear, it’s everyone else who needs protection."
A faint smirk tugged at the corner of Camilla’s lips.
"Is that supposed to be a complint?"
"Of course," Calvin replied coolly, his gaze drifting toward the approaching figure surrounded by an entourage.
"Grandpa Porter is here."
"Camilla, the banquet is about to begin," grandpa Porter said as he stopped before Camilla, his expression warm and benevolent.
"Co, sit with upstairs."
His deanor only further emphasized Camilla’s status as the esteed wife of the Luther Family patriarch.
After all, in all of San Francisco, only a handful of family elders were privileged enough to share the upper seating with grandpa Porter.
"No need, grandpa Porter," Camilla declined with a polite smile.
"As a junior, I should remain down here."
This way, she’d have the perfect vantage point to enjoy the show.
"Hahaha, very well then," grandpa Porter chuckled, having only extended the invitation out of courtesy.
He certainly wasn’t about to insist.
"Young folks sure love a lively scene. I’ll head upstairs first then."
On the stage, Jonathan and his companions took turns delivering their blessings before yielding the spotlight to the true stars of the evening—
Tyler and Sandra.
Standing side by side at the podium, the couple delivered their opening remarks with such seamless harmony that they appeared in the picture-perfect pair.
Of course, the whispers among the guests told a different story.
"Sandra finally got her wish—she’s Mrs. Luther now."
"Mrs. Luther? More like the consolation prize. What she really wanted was to be the Madam of the Luther Family."
"No kidding."
"But that Camilla—she’s Sandra’s worst nightmare.
The mont she showed up, she snatched the title of the madam right from under her nose and has been outshining her ever since.
Rember what happened at Grandpa Luther’s banquet last ti?"
"No sooner had Jonathan settled into his seat with Margaret than a towering waiter approached, bending down to murmur sothing in his ear.
His brow furrowed deeply as he gave a terse nod and rose to leave.
"Where are you going?"
Margaret grabbed his sleeve, her hushed voice dripping with resentnt.
"That old witch lured you away, didn’t she?
Can’t even stay for your own son’s engagent party?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Jonathan glanced around, ensuring no one had overheard before replying sharply.
"It’s a company business.
I’ll be back soon."
With that, he brushed her hand aside and strode out.
Margaret’s hand struck the chair with a sharp, searing pain, but she barely noticed.
Her eyes, fixed on Jonathan’s retreating figure, turned icy with quiet fury.
Yet when a guest approached with a congratulatory toast, her face lted back into a practiced smile.
"The first gift has been delivered."
Watching Jonathan leave, Camilla’s smiling gaze shifted to the stage, where Tyler and Sandra had just announced the start of the banquet before making their exit.
"Now," she murmured, her crimson lips curling as she pressed the tiny remote concealed in her palm.
"Ti for the second."
The massive LED screen overhead flickered—then the image abruptly changed.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. "What’s going on?"
Tyler and Sandra halted their steps, turning their heads in the direction of the crowd’s gaze.
When Tyler saw the content playing on the screen, his pupils contracted violently, his face instantly darkening to an extre degree.
Beside him, Sandra looked as if struck by lightning—her face drained of all colors as she collapsed to the floor.
anwhile, in Mileage.
"Sir,"
The assistant checked his watch.
"It’s been two or three hours already.
Why hasn’t there been any movent from him?"
Yoland remained silent, though his eyes narrowed slightly.
Could it be that Tyler was seriously injured, just as that person had claid?
