Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

The next evening, the welcoming party at Splendor Hotel, owned by the Hamerton Group, began on time. The midsummer night party’s unique design incorporated indoor and outdoor venues. The entire hotel shimmered with brilliant lights, resembling a grand pearl in the night.

The guests in attendance were prominent figures from various fields, known for their wealth or influence. Among them, Abigail stood out as the Thompson Group had shown the significance they placed on her.

Lina, dressed in a pale pink haute couture dress with a pearl necklace around her neck, exuded elegance as she effortlessly mingled with the crowd, showing no signs of unease. The guests whispered among themselves, praising how she embodied the best qualities of both Nicholas and Linda.

Abigail stayed by Lina’s side, concerned that she might drink too much, and redirected any toasts proposed to her.

“Hey, this party is for you!” Lina whispered to her. “Why are you wearing a gray dress? It doesn’t make you stand out at all!”

Abigail smiled. “The cool tone matches my personality! Besides, it’s your special day. How could I steal the limelight?”

Lina laughed. Abigail was usually a red carpet femme fatale, stealing the limelight on previous occasions!

But in front of her best friend today, she let her guard down, putting away all defenses, and obediently followed behind Lina like a docile little lamb.

Lina held Abigail’s hand and placed it on the crook of her arm.

As the two girls exchanged smiles, the world seemed kinder at that moment.

Not far away, Jacob turned around and froze.

“What’s wrong?” Gia handed him a glass of wine. “Did you see someone?”

Jacob didn’t even hear what she said. His ears buzzed, his mind went blank, and he pushed her away.

“Ah!” Gia stumbled back from the force, almost knocking over a long table.

“Jacob, what are you doing?”

Jacob took several deep breaths as he turned around and fixed his hair and tie in front of the reflective marble wall.
