Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 106 A Difficult Rival in Love Was Approaching Me

I stood there, totally floored, watching some woman hug my husband right in front of me.

To be real, she was more like a girl.

Bella glanced at them, then at me, looking all puzzled.

Ethan gently pulled her away a bit and asked, all cool, "When did you get to Starlight City?"

The girl was still hanging onto his neck, laughing with this super clear and happy voice, full of that young energy. "Surprised? I told you I'd give you a big surprise. I was gonna pop up and scare you, but I didn't expect to see you here." I suddenly remembered Fiona's text. Could this girl be the one who sent it?

Could she be Fiona? Or maybe she's connected to Fiona somehow?

Maybe 'cause of preconceived notions, I found she kinda looked like Fiona.

Bella chimed in, "Hey, his wife is right here. It's not cool to hug someone else's husband like that, you know?"

Bella's bluntness made Faye Taylor's smile falter a bit as she looked at me standing behind Ethan.

Ethan slowly took her hands off his neck, turned around, put one hand on my shoulder, and introduced me. "This is my wife, Emily."

Those words made me feel a lot better.

Ethan then said to me, "This is Faye Taylor."

Seeing how much Faye and Fiona looked alike, I had a feeling.

After the initial shock, Faye looked a bit awkward.

But she quickly put on a sweet smile. "Hi, Emily."

At that moment, I really checked out Faye.

She was tall, about five-seven, wearing a white short dress with long legs showing.

She had a sweet look, big eyes, an oval face, a simple and elegant bun, and a classic beauty vibe, giving off a very fresh and sweet feel. "Hello, Faye!" I couldn't even fake a smile.

"Are you Faye?" Oliver's surprised voice came from beside me.

Faye glanced at Oliver, her eyes twinkling with a hint of mischief. "Oliver, don't you recognize me? Have I changed that much?"

Oliver nodded, smiling. "Yeah, a lot. The little girl's all grown up."

Faye greeted Jason too, and after Jason gave her a faint smile, he suddenly looked at me with a worried expression.

I briefly met Jason's gaze before looking away.

Faye suddenly stomped her foot, a bit frustrated. "Are you guys here to watch the competition? I'll get nervous."

Ethan said calmly, "There's nothing to be nervous about. Just do your thing and believe in yourself."
