Chapter Divorcing 368
Chapter 368 He's Probably Used to It
This was the first time he had met Chloe, unaware of her identity.
His jewelry was indeed pricey, but Chloe in the elegant dress could truly showcase its full beauty!
Cathy was scolded and immediately felt awkward, wanting to speak, but Victoria pulled her back, forcing her to reluctantly keep quiet. "This necklace is my meticulous design, and what she's wearing clearly shows it's real!"
"How could you know without even examining or touching it..."
"Cathy, have you caused enough trouble?"
Victoria couldn't stand losing face and publicly reprimanded Cathy.
"I designed it myself, so if I say it's real, it's real. If I say it's fake, it's fake. It doesn't matter whether I've touched it or examined it!"
After speaking, Gavin snorted haughtily and stopped paying attention to Cathy.
"You have no taste. I won't sell my jewelry to you anymore!"
Cathy was so angry that she trembled all over.
Gavin's jewelry had always been her favorite.
It was already hard to get, and now, because of Chloe, she would never be able to buy it again.
"Mr. Reed, don't stoop to Cathy's level. She's immature and isn't sensible."
"She looks quite mature, definitely an adult! She's not a kid anymore!"
Victoria was so blocked by this remark that she couldn't say a word. Her face was extremely gloomy.
Jennifer had been watching from a distance all along, never stepping forward to help Victoria.
After the drama, Wesley took Gavin to a lounge to meet Richard.
That was when Chloe stood next to Michael and asked, "How much is this necklace?"
"It's not very expensive," Michael replied indifferently.
"By the way, Maya is going for an interview at Paramount Airlines tomorrow. Do you have any thoughts on that?"
It took a long while for him to remember that Madeline had asked Maya to intern at Paramount Airlines.
"She hasn't gone yet?"
With her impulsive nature, Chloe thought Madeline would have already pushed Maya to work at Paramount Airlines. Chloe didn't expect that she hadn't done anything yet.
"It was said she had school assignments and didn't have the time."
Chloe nodded and said, "Oh." She did not intend to interfere.
"It's up to you. I don't mind."
After Chloe finished speaking, Richard took the stage, and the lights over the lawn dimmed further.
Only the spotlight on the stage where he stood remained.
The press conference officially began, and Michael led Chloe to their designated seats.
This time, the Opal Group's new products were all themed around emeralds and gemstones, a classic charm combined with Gavin's modern touch, a cultural clash beautifully reflected in these jewels. Besides the one Chloe was currently wearing, the rest would only be launched and sold a week later, all in limited quantities.
After Richard finished his opening speech, he invited Wesley to the stage.
Wesley strode confidently onto the stage.
Michael then turned and whispered, "The eldest son of the Jenkins family is indeed much better than the others."
"The others?"
Chloe was puzzled. "How many children does the Jenkins family have?"
"About five or six!"
Chloe was shocked.
"Don't be fooled by Richard's gentlemanly demeanor now. He used to be involved in both the underworld and the upper circles, and naturally, he wasn't short of women." Chloe was really unaware of these romantic tales of the Jenkins family.
"Doesn't that make Wesley a target for many?"
Michael nodded. "He's probably used to it by now."
This made Chloe turn to look at him, recalling that the Shawn family was also full of intrigue.
If not for the fact that among Victoria's younger siblings, only she had a daughter, and the others had no children, Michael would probably be even more troubled.
He was still dealing with Ben, who likely hadn't given up yet.
"What about Richard's wife?"
Chloe realized she hadn't seen any woman accompanying Richard all day.
"Wesley's mother died a few years after he was born. Richard has had many women since then but never remarried. However, I heard he has recently chosen someone twenty years younger." Chloe was shocked again. "Twenty years younger? That's almost our age?"
Michael nodded.
At that moment, Chloe looked up at Richard standing on the podium, her impression of him vastly different from before.
Wesley said something, but Chloe wasn't really listening.
She only caught his last words as he introduced next year's global ambassador for the Opal Group.
The next second, the spotlight fell directly on Chloe.
The intense light made her squint uncomfortably.
"Ms. Nelson, you are the Opal Group's spokesperson for next year. Please come up to the stage and say a few words."
