Chapter 86 His Sudden Appearance
From Edgar's perspective, her elegant and clean face was breathtakingly beautiful, which made his mind blank for a few seconds.
Four years ago, at their wedding, she trembled with nervousness on the stage and her voice was a little shaky when she spoke. But now, she went on stage calmly with a natural and beautiful smile, which surprised him.
"Mrs. Dawson wouldn't deny me the chance to have a few words with her, would she?" Freya asked with a laugh.
Amber gripped the microphone tightly. The audience was watching them and Amber didn't know if she should give the microphone to Freya.
"Give it to her!" Edgar felt that if his wife continued to act like this, it would arouse suspicion of the guests, although he was also worried about what Freya would say.
Amber had no choice but to give the microphone to Freya. While passing it to Freya, she glared at her fiercely with a warning in her eyes, indicating that if she dared to speak out of line, she would not let her go.
Freya smiled as she took the microphone, looking at the audience in luxurious clothing. Her voice was clear, "Yes, I am Edgar's ex-wife. We signed the divorce agreement four years and one month ago. And then? One month after we divorced, Edgar married Amber. Their relationship developed surprisingly fast. I can reveal something to you. Amber and I were good friends years ago and she had claimed to be Edgar's first love!"
The look on Amber's face changed instantly. How dare Freya say these things? Wasn't she guiding these sensitive rich ladies to think that she was the one who ruined her previous marriage?
Just then, the door was open again.
Everyone was startled by the sudden sound of the door. They turned their heads and saw a regal and imposing figure stepp into the gall in the dazzling golden light. The man had the demeanor of a king in every movement and gesture with a glowing aura around him, which took everyone's breath away.
This man was distinguished and stood out from the crowd.
He was widely known and recognized by all.
This man's gaze was as cold as ice. He stared at the woman on the stage. It was only after he inquired at the front desk that he learned Edgar and Amber's wedding anniversary was held here today. He thought Freya must be here.
During the short time in the elevator, he had imagined how she might have been humiliated and mistreated. However, when he entered the hall, he saw Freya talking on the stage with a smile on her face.
And now, she looked shocked.
The hall fell into a strange silence for a few seconds.
Edgar and Amber were shocked as well. One was stunned and puzzled, and the other was scared. Amber felt a shiver run down her spine. Did Freya invite Austin here?
Austin looked at the woman on stage who had not been insulted or oppressed and smiled slightly. "Go on with your speech," his voice was low and charming.
Even though he didn't know what she had said before, guessed from the expressions on Edgar and Amber's faces, it was definitely not what they wanted to hear.
Freya looked at the dazzling and charming man on stage. His presence made all the men present dull and unremarkable. He was like a bright moon, shining brightly and dazzlingly. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Amber saw an opportunity and wanted to take the microphone back from Freya. As she reached out her hand, Freya grabbed her hand and lifted it up forcefully, introducing the ring to the people, "This is my design. If you like it, please come to me. I won't disappoint you!"
Amber wanted to break free from Freya, but people were looking at them, so she could only put on a stiff smile and be lame.
Freya glanced at the large diamond ring and thought that Amber's hand must be sore for three days if she put on it for a day.
Freya released Amber's hand with some disgust and suddenly looked at her, asking loudly, "Amber, you have the diamond ring now. It seems that you're satisfied with it. So when will you have time to pay the remaining balance of over one million owed to our company?"
The words instantly made Amber blush. People wanted to laugh and tried to hold the laughter back, thinking that Amber had been greatly humiliated by Freya today.
A perfectly fine wedding anniversary turned into a laughingstock.
Austin's lips curved. This woman was a bit stronger than he thought.
Freya handed the microphone to Amber and elegantly stepped off the stage under the gaze of the crowd.
Austin narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman walking towards him. He was ready to surprise the crowd with another unexpected move. As Freya approached him, he suddenly embraced her with his strong arms before Freya could react. Freya looked up in surprise as his lips met hers.
Freya's mind went blank. With so many people present, he actually kissed her in public?
The kiss made quite a splash among the guests, and everyone was talking about the relationship between Edgar's ex-wife and Austin. Were they in a relationship?
Amber was seething with anger on the stage. Seeing Austin showing affection to Freya, she immediately picked up the microphone and said to him, "Mr. Austin, there is something I want to tell you. Do you know that Freya has an illegitimate child?"
Everyone once again stared at Austin. How could a man like him accept a woman with an illegitimate child?
Amber couldn't wait to see Freya's panicked expression, but only found her glaring at her.
Meanwhile, Austin's cold and menacing eyes were focused on Amber on the stage. The words, an illegitimate child, definitely hit a nerve with him.
Amber didn't know why Austin was so angry, but he had a feeling that his wife had provoked the man.
Looking down at Austin from the stage, Amber felt a sense of suffocation and shortness of breath, even though she was standing at a higher place. Had she said something wrong? She had just revealed a piece of news to him!
Austin said to Amber with an icy tone, "The child you mentioned is my son. If I hear you speak ill of him again, I'll let the Dawson family pay a heavy price."
