Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Everyone was shocked, especially Acacia. Her mouth was agape, and she forgot to maintain her usual nobility! How could this be possible? Did she hear it wrong?! Ilana, who was only twenty-four this year, right? Camille was four years older than her and had been in the fashion industry for ten years, often participating in Paris Fashion Week and winning many international awards. How could Ilana, a rural caregiver, be Camille’s master? This joke was too big, wasn’t it?! Acacia was secretly shocked. Camille, holding Evadne intimately around her waist, complained, “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I didn’t have time to prepare!” “I wasn’t supposed to be here today. It’s just that a gathering was canceled suddenly, so I had time to come and see.” “Oh, so you just came by… I mean nothing to you!” “How dare you blame me? You sure got guts now!” The two women chatted warmly like close friends, astonishing everyone present! Thaddeus was full of surprise. He remembered the suit she gave him. No wonder it was so well made, even the old tailor couldn’t match it. So, it turns out, she actually had such a high status. Initially, Thaddeus thought Ilana was just clever and handy, but now it seemed that he underestimated her. The mentor of an internationally renowned designer, this status was very noble. Nationwide, how many people could hold it? He was filled with doubts. She had been by his side for three years, and it was more than just hiding her real identity. She was so excellent, so why didn’t she let him see her real side?
His three-year marriage was just filled with lies! “Ms. Camille, I am Mr. Thaddeus’ fiancée, my name is Acacia…” Acacia plucked up the courage to step forward and tried to shake hands with Camille.
Unexpectedly, Camille didn’t want to have any contact with her at all and pulled Evadne back a step, “I don’t recall having the name Acacia on my guest list.” “…” “I don’t know where you got the invitation from, but I definitely didn’t invite you. Today is a private gathering. We don’t entertain outside guests. Please leave immediately.” Camille was uncompromising. After all, artistic people often had strong personalities. Acacia turned pale and felt extremely embarra**ed, so she quickly pulled Thaddeus’ sleeve for help. “Ms. Camille, we didn’t know it was a private gathering and meant no offense. But my fiancée admires your designs and has always been looking forward to meeting you. So, we hope you can understand the misunderstanding today.” Thaddeus spoke in an even tone, his attitude respectful. Evadne’s heart ached, and she clenched her fingers tightly. Thaddeus was usually a proud man, and few people could make him lower his proud head. But now, for Acacia, he actually opened his mouth to apologize, hoping they could stay. She sneered contemptuously. In this world, only Acacia could make Thaddeus lower his proud head. Evadne once mistakenly thought that as long as she tried hard, she could get close to him. Acacia held onto Thaddeus’ arm tightly, looking innocent, but feeling triumphant inside. Camille glanced at Thaddeus and smiled, “Mr. Thaddeus, since you said that, it would be rude of me to ask you to leave. So, Mr. Thaddeus, why don’t you stay?” Evadne nervously signaled Camille, but Camille completely ignored her and just stared at Thaddeus. Thaddeus was such a jerk! Evadne wanted to remind her. “Thank you.” Just as Thaddeus let out a sigh of relief, Camille continued, “You can stay, but Ms. Acacia must leave.” Acacia was dumbfounded and angrily asked, “Why ask me to leave? I am Mr. Thaddeus’ fiancée!” The guests were startled by her loud words, and all turned to look at her. Camille shook her head and said, “If you hadn’t said it, I really wouldn’t have noticed.” Acacia was dizzy with anger. Camille continued, “I asked Mr. Thaddeus to stay because he’s handsome and has good taste in
clothes, which fits the atmosphere today.” Camille glanced at Acacia again, “Ms. Acacia, I really can’t stand the clothes you’re wearing. They don’t match the taste here at all, so please leave.” Evadne reluctantly covered her face, and suddenly, she remembered. Camille loved handsome guys. Evadne was filled with emotion. She was really thankful to Camille! Thaddeus said seriously, “Ms. Camille, although we were rude, we meant no harm. Your words seem a bit excessive.” Camille sneered, “Excessive? Mr. Thaddeus, your fiancée, insulted my mentor in front of so many people. I didn’t kick her out. That’s already kind of me.” The surroundings fell silent, and the atmosphere was tense. Evadne looked at Camille in surprise. It turned out she knew about the conflict she had with Acacia just now. Suddenly, a warm current surged in her heart. Acacia was speechless, sweating profusely, and could only cling to Thaddeus tightly. She spoke so aggressively to Evadne, but now she felt extremely embarra**ed. Thaddeus’ face was stiff as if it was about to cr ack. Evadne nervously said, “Camille, let it go.” Evadne was worried about affecting the guests’ mood, and seeing that Camille had already taught her enough, she whispered, “We are all guests. Let’s not affect others’ mood. Whatever Ms. Acacia just said, I didn’t take it to heart. Besides, I do come from a humble background, everything Ms. Acacia said is true, so there’s no need for me to pursue it.” Hearing this, the people around felt unjust for Evadne. 1/2 16-10 Chapter 82 “Look at this lady, she’s as sharp as a politician, with all the airs and graces of nobility!” “Yeah, so what if she’s from a humble background? There are plenty of designers from regular backgrounds who have made it big in the industry. Making an issue out of this, how uncouth!” “As for Acacia, where’s the grace of being Mr. Thaddeus’ fiancée? She comes off more like a mistress.” “Mr. Thaddeus sure knows how to pick ’em… It’s worrisome.”
Acacia’s teeth were on edge: she felt more and more embarra**ed. She didn’t want to be here anymore, but Thaddeus seemed hell-bent on staying, showing no signs of backing out. He was gritting his teeth and clenching his fists in silence. Even in the face of humiliation, he was determined to go through with it. He was curious to see what else Ilana could pull out of her hat!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
