Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 206

Chapter 206: What was that?

Chapter 206: What was that?

Eveline got into the car and joined Gabriel in the backseat as they began their drive to the launch celebration.

Eveline donned an off-the-shoulder white satin gown that reached her knees and had a tiny slit on the side.

Keeping her style simple, she had her hair put in a French bun and a modest diamond neckpiece adorning her slender neck, giving her a simple yet elegant appearance.

Gabriel couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Back then, Eveline would regularly accompany him to business events.

Even when she kept it low, she would always shine.

Her outstanding beauty drew everyone’s attention, and her perfect smile brightened any discourse.

“You look pretty,” he said, and she turned her head to face him.

Eveline had little interest in grooming because she had no intention of entering her father’s business.

All she wanted back then was to marry Gabriel and become his wife.

But now the situation was different.

Her past life isn’t repeating itself, and now that she thinks about it, she gets a glimpse of what her dream is.

Following in her father’s footsteps and dominating the economic world.

“You, too, look handsome,” she said, inspecting the exquisite customized suit that completed his charm.

He clearly had the appearance of a prince charming.

A moment of stillness passed between the two, and Gabriel reached out to grab her hand.

“Tell me what’s going through your mind.

You may have reassured me earlier, but I just can’t stop thinking about it,” he inquired earnestly.

Eveline glanced at him seriously before shifting her sight and looking ahead.

“Nothing.

“You’re worrying for nothing,” she whispered, and his grip on her hand tightened.

“Just stay close to me,” he murmured, and she agreed.

The car soon came to a stop in front of the venue, and she overheard Gabriel talking on the phone.

“We are here” was spoken before the call was terminated.

“Stefan and Ella have arrived; let us go inside,” he remarked, and they both got out of the car.

The media photographed Gabriel Winston, son of well-known industrialists Richard Winston, as he took over their family business, but what attracted their attention was the lady next to him.

They soon realized that the girl was Eveline Miller, the daughter of top industrialist Jonathan Miller.

“Miss Miller, we heard your father had an accident.

So does this imply that your presence indicates that you will soon join the firm on his behalf?” One of the lady reporters exclaimed.

Mark, who was told of their arrival, rushed to assist the lady boss and walked her through the venue.

Many people were drawn to Gabriel and Eveline’s appearance, which sparked a discussion about their relationship, which the two best friends and businessmen had been trying to keep hidden for so long.

“Why is everyone looking at us?” Eveline inquired, searching the room filled with people staring at them.

This was her first event in life, but she remembered how she had always caught people’s attention.

Some were enraged, some sarcastic, and some unapologetically evil.

“Don’t worry,” Gabriel’s eyes brought her out of her cautious posture, and she turned to see him grin reassuringly.

“Miss, Sir, please follow me this way,” Mark, who was next to the couple, directed them to their seats.

“You are here?” Stefan’s delighted voice made Eveline grin, and she reached out to hug him.

“Brother Stefan, it has been a while.

I missed you,” she whispered, pulling back and looking over his shoulder at the woman seated next to him.

“Miss Ella,” “I hope you’re doing well, Eveline,” Ella remarked.

“Thank you for being there,” Eveline said, acknowledging her concern following Jonathan’s accident.

She stayed in frequent contact with her, consoled her, and encouraged her to be strong.

Eveline found a sister figure in her.

“My pleasure,” she said, and they soon settled into their seats.

“Any updates?” Gabriel, who sat next to Stefan, inquired.

“Yes” “Spill” “Name Jedrick Donovan, an investor who enjoys investing in tiny businesses.

He had been working behind the scenes for his organization while residing overseas.

Not only has he kept his identity hidden, but there are reports that the man is dangerous, involved in the underground, and is aiming to establish himself in country S by investing in Larson as a major shareholder.” Stefan, who had been gathering information for quite some time, ended up with only a few details.

“About his family and other stuff?” Gabriel inquired.

“I couldn’t find it,” he admitted helplessly.

Gabriel stared coldly ahead, his mind whirling with ideas.

“He is Uncle Jonathan’s brother,” Gabriel explained, leaving Stefan perplexed.

He gaped at him in surprise and asked, “But wasn’t he the only child?” Everyone was told that Uncle Jonathan was his parents’ only son and that they had no extended family.

So whence did this sibling fall from the sky?

Eveline, who noticed Stefan and Gabriel talking, arched her brow.

“Miss Ella, what else do you know about the new investor?

I mean, there must have been something about his identity that piqued people’s interest,” she inquired, her gaze drawn to the girl seated beside her.

Ella shrugged and sighed, shaking her head in dismay.

“Unfortunately, nothing.

The man is enigmatic, and his name was only revealed as the new investor in Larson Group.

According to reports, he owns half of the company and invested in the dream project to establish himself as a corporate leader.

Eveline carefully noted Ella’s every word and nodded.

She mumbled, “I see,” and the event began.

Eveline was looking forward to the event, and most likely meeting the man in person.

As she read the text ‘All set’ on her phone, she smiled instantly.

“Good evening, everyone.

It is a great honor to welcome you to this highly anticipated product launch event.

We sincerely appreciate the presence of our business partners, industry experts, and significant shareholders today.

This launch is an important milestone because it demonstrates our commitment to pushing the boundaries, understanding market demands, and delivering solutions that genuinely make an impact.

We are thrilled to share this journey with you and look forward to strengthening our commitment as we move forward.

But first, I’d want to mention the individual who believed in our skills and assisted us on our wonderful journey.

Let me introduce Larson Groups’ new business partner, Jedrick Denovan.

Please give a big round of applause.” Eveline’s eyes coldly stared at the figure emerging through the crowd and gracing his presence on the stage.

When he turned to face the crowd, his eyes gleamed in a specific direction, and his lips twisted into a menacing grin that caught Eveline by surprise.

He was peering at her through the crowd, which nearly left her speechless as to how he remembered her.
