After Divorce I Am A Billionaire

Chapter 43

The crowd started whispering again, and some even quietly googled First Snow in an attempt to find out the difference between the two dresses.

And Charlotte, who was standing in the corner of the stage, was completely flummoxed.

This bitch had done dancing, but how come nothing happened?

She was obviously wearing the fake dress!

Why?

Which part of the process went wrong?

Charlotte could not accept it at all. She suffered a crushing defeat because of Lyra, who had stolen the show completely. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She ran to Lyra to see what kind of sorcery Lyra had done to the dress.

Just halfway through the run, because of her violent stretching movement, the waistline of the dress connecting the hip suddenly split!

At this time, there was no music to cover the sound anymore. The tearing sound was very loud and piercing, almost instantly drawing the attention of everyone.

The moment Charlotte realized it, she reached out to cover it at once but was too late!

The stitching on the side of her dress was torn into a long slit from under her arms to her hipbone, and her pink bra was exposed through the opening, which could be seen clearly under the spotlight.

Charlotte was completely dumbfounded, her face colorless.

She squatted down and curled up to cover herself. However, with this movement, the dress was ripped once again.

Now even her pink panty was revealed.

Yoo-hoo, it was a two-piece lingerie set!

Immediately afterwards, the crowd burst into a guffaw.

mocking and flirtatious glances enveloped her.

"Haha, is this the bonus for today prepared by the Matthews family?"

"I'm shocked! The Matthews family's second daughter is actually wearing a knock-off dress in the public! She's the first one to wear it with such ridiculous confidence!"

"That's right, and she wrongly accused Mr. Carver's plus one. Who gave her the guts?"

"Her dancing is a disaster, and she is wearing a fake dress? Are the Matthews' taking us as fools?"

People's words were harsh.

In order to fawn on the Matthews family before, those tried so hard to praise Charlotte in every possible way; but now they just couldn't wait to trample her into the mud.

Charlotte broke down, screaming as she listened to the overwhelming voices attacking her.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked wretched, but no one took pity on her.

"It's not! It's not like that! How can it be a knock-off! How is it possible!"

She was still shaking her head in disbelief.

Suddenly she was blinded for a second by the flashlight.

Charlotte looked in the direction of the flashlight and saw Lyra, who was also standing on the stage, taking pictures of her wretchedness with her cell phone.

How dared she take ugly pictures of her in front of so many people?

Lyra was standing less than a meter away from her, the stunning snow-white dress on her was glinting in the spotlight. Divine like a goddess, as Lyra was looking at her, a proud smile on her face.

What made this bitch so arrogant?

Impulsion completely got to Charlotte's head and she couldn't wait rushing over to tear Lyra apart, "Was it you? You did this to me, didn't you? Why did you do this! You are so vicious!"

Katelyn still couldn't figure out why she had bought a fake dress for $30 million. Seeing that things were out of control, Jamie hurriedly gestured Katelyn to let her stop Charlotte.

Katelyn then reacted and hurriedly brought two maids up.

But when they reached the spot, the fight was already over.

Melvin strode onto the stage to block himself between the two women.

When Charlotte saw him, it was like someone who was dying in the desert suddenly met an oasis.

She jumped on him regardless, choked up with tears, pointing at Lyra with indignation, "Melvin, you have to believe me. She did this to me! It must be her! My family have spent 30 million buying First Snow, so how can it be fake? It must be she who took the opportunity and switched the dresses!"

Melvin listened quietly but kept his eyes on Lyra, his gaze unfathomable.

Jamie rushed to pick up the microphone to save the day, "Sorry everyone, my daughter is in a slightly unstable state tonight. I'll let the lady take her back to the room first to calm her down. We'll come back later. As for the knock-off dress, it took us by surprise as well. We've indeed transferred 30 million to Miss Z's account and the log can be retrieved. I'll definitely conduct a thorough investigation and give everyone an explanation!" He said, bowing towards the guests and throwing a ferocious glance at Katelyn, "Pull her away now!"

Katelyn nodded and hurriedly asked the maid to drag Charlotte to upstairs.

Even when the sound of Charlotte's crying completely disappeared, the guests still hadn't stopped their discussion.

Jamie scanned the room and became more and more upset with Charlotte.

He had thought bringing this illegitimate daughter back into the family would save the Matton Corp, but it turned out to be a disaster!

Made such a big joke out of herself as soon as she arrived!

He really regretted about his decision.

The spotlight was turned off, and the crowd was talking about Charlotte while paying a little less attention to Lyra.

Lyra turned to get off the stage, but she noticed from the corner of her eye that someone was staring straight at her.

Melvin's thin lips were pursed, and one couldn't tell if he was angry or thinking about something.

Lyra was irritated by his stare, tucked her hand back and looked askance, smiling playfully, "What? I stole your fiancée's spotlight. Are you trying to steal it back?"

Melvin was still staring at her, sizing her up and down, and the look in his eyes suddenly became incomprehensible.

Lyra didn't understand the connotation in his eyes, neither was she interested in doing so.

She was about to leave when she heard him speak, "How are you doing?"

The low voice sounded like he cared.

Lyra was very uncomfortable with him talking like that.

"What else could have happened to me? I'm better than ever after watching such a good show."

As she finished, she withdrew her gaze and went off stage to find Cody.

Even though her back was turned, she still felt the creep gaze fixed at her, and she subconsciously walked faster.

...

Without Charlotte out of the way and Jamie taking good care of everything, the guests' interest in the incident faded.

After all, it was still in the territory of others, no good in speaking ill of the host so blatantly.

In less than an hour, the whole party returned to the original harmonious atmosphere.

Cody had become Lyra's ultimate fanboy, looking at her with starry eyes expectantly, "My Queen, do you need a toy boy? Here's a sweet, gentle and obedient puppy dog. Would you consider adopting him?"

Melvin, who was chitchatting with others in the crowd, was very close to them and observing the two in secret.

Hearing Cody's words, his face turned sullen almost instantly.

Lyra pushed Cody's head away with one of her fingers and rolled her eyes, "Get lost. Your mama here is not interested in little brats like you who ain't old enough to get married."

Not far away, Melvin, his face back to normal, continued to talk and laugh with the other presidents.

Cody, on the other hand, was instantly dejected.

He grunted, "I don't care! When I'm old enough in a few years, and if you're still unmarried, I'll marry you!"

Lyra could only smile helplessly and shake her head when she saw him in such a high morale.

...

Seeing that the situation was finally under control, Jamie picked up the mic and walked up to the stage again, starting to speak in a serious manner, "I'm so delighted that everyone could come to my youngest daughter's welcome party today..."

"But tonight, in addition to inviting you all to have fun, there is actually something very important for the Matton Corp to be announced!"
