At this point, Heather had no choice but to explain, "We all thought she'd been burned to death five years ago, but we didn't think she'd survive and escape. She came back recently. "Well, so that's what happened!"

"Cecelia has become so beautiful after five years! I wonder if she is engaged."

Heather felt depressed to see the attention of the guests shift to Cecelia.

Although Heather was a little upset, she didn't show it on her face. Immediately, she put on a smile and walked up. "Gee! Cecelia, you're back!"

Ophelia also saw Cecelia coming. She wondered why Cecelia had suddenly come uninvited.

Sean noticed the woman who walked in. He was shocked to hear Heather refer to her as Cecelia.

He was extremely shocked!

He had no idea Cecelia was alive. And he hadn't heard the Linsey family say that she had returned alive.

When he suddenly saw Cecelia, he was stunned, guilty, and terrified.

At first, he thought he'd seen a ghost!

After all, he had set her up five years ago!

At that time, he wanted to burn Cecelia and the child in her belly. However, he didn't expect her to be alive. Had Cecelia really come back alive? Moreover, what he couldn't believe was that Cecelia had changed so much that he didn't dare to recognize her.

After all, five years ago, Cecelia was unattractive, simple, weak, and gullible.

However, now, Cecelia looked gorgeous. She had a wise and cold gleam in her eyes that made her look completely different from before!

He couldn't believe his eyes!

Sean asked Ophelia quietly, "Ollie, is she really Cecelia? Is she at human or a ghost?"

"It's Cecelia! She's alive!"

Ophelia answered Sean in a lowered voice. Putting on a smile, she stepped forward and greeted Cecelia. "Cecelia, how did you find the time to come to my mother's birthday party?"

Ophelia was suggesting that she should be looking after Remington at the Nelson Residence right now.

How did the Nelson family let her go out at will?

"I just came back the day before yesterday to marry into the Nelson family on your behalf, and today happens to be the day for me to go homé. And I'm here in time for Aunt Heather's birthday. How could I not come?"

Cecelia's words were very informative.

The upper class of Center City knew that the Nelson family, the top of the five families and the number one plutocrat, was looking for a woman to marry his family's ailing son. However, Gary was cruel enough to let his recently returned daughter marry into the Nelson family instead of Ophelia.

If the others didn't know the Linsey family well, they would think. Cecelia wasn't Gary's daughter!

Also, Cecelia particularly called Heather aunt. If she hadn't. mentioned it, everyone else would have forgotten about it.

Heather became Gary's wife shortly after Gary's ex-wife had just passed away. Soon, Gary claimed to the public that Ophelia was his biological daughter. It was clear that Gary was a jerk.

Seeing Cecelia and Ophelia stand together, the surrounding people were whispering about the two of them.

"Everyone says Ollie is one of the top three beauties of the Center City. Look at her sister Cecelia! She's as pretty as Ollie!"

"Cecelia seems to be more beautiful!"

As the saying went, comparisons were odious.

Ophelia was said to be one of the top three beauties of the Center City. However, the moment Cecelia stood next to Ophelia, Cecelia outshone Ophelia instantly.

Cecelia looked dazzlingly beautiful, as if she was glowing. She seemed to have the magic power to eclipse the galaxy.

She simply stood silent and said nothing. Her cold and gorgeous. face would make her the center of attention.

Heather had always thought her daughter was the most beautiful girl. However, the moment Cecelia showed up, Ollie was outdone!

Chapter 22 She Stole the Spotlight

In order not to let Cecelia outshine Ollie, Heather flatteringly took Cecelia's arm and led her into the house.

"There. Come on. Don't stand in the doorway. Come in and talk!"

Sean followed Ophelia in. His gaze still fell on Cecelia, because he couldn't believe it. "Is she really Cecelia? She's changed so much too!"

Ophelia glanced at Sean and noticed that he had glued his eyes to Cecelia. She also noticed that all the men in the room were staring at Cecelia, including her elder brother. She was going crazy with jealousy!

Ophelia thought, 'What a bitch! Slut! Shame on her! Cecelia seduced all the men as soon as she came back! She's disgusting!" Sean's younger sister Kathrin came up to Ophelia and asked, "Ollie, is that woman really Cecelia?"

"That's right. It's her."

Ophelia stared at Cecelia with a sinister look in her eyes.

"No way? Is it really her? I can't even believe it!"

Kathrin was also shocked by Cecelia's appearance. After all, Cecelia was unattractive and a plain Jane five years ago. How could Cecelia have changed so much in just five years?

"What's her purpose in coming back today? Does she want to compete with you in the Linsey family?" Kathrin asked again.

Ophelia's face darkened. She wasn't going to let Cecelia have her way!

Noticing the gown Cecelia was wearing, Kathrin nudged Ophelia and said, "Ollie, is she wearing the same brand of dress as you? How come the one she's wearing looks so much like that Vera couture dress you saw last time? Did she steal Vera's gown?"

Ophelia had a furious look in her eyes. She suppressed her anger and said, "How could that be? How could she possibly afford to wear Vera's gown? I've made some inquiries. A wealthy businessman from Gerland City, bought this Vera's dress. I'm sure what she's wearing is a knockoff! Just wait and see how I expose her!"

Ophelia walked towards Cecelia, leaned closer, and smiled as she praised, "Cecelia, you look so prettier than before. This dress looks fabulous too! It's the latest season of Vera's couture gown, isn't it?" Cecelia sneered at Ophelia's insincerity. After taking one look at her gown, Cecelia said, "Yes! Ollie, you don't look too bad today. This Knockoff gown really suits you!"

Chapter 22 She Stole the Spotlight

Cecelia's words made everyone look at the gown Ophelia was wearing.

Vera was a luxury womenswear brand that had become super popular and sold'exceptionally well in the country in the last few years, which was much sought after by celebrities and socialites alike. If one wore a legit gown from Vera, everyone would envy and compliment her. However, Ophelia wore a knock-off gown!

Just now, someone complimented Ophelia on how classy she looked in her gown. However, others really saw something wrong when they looked at her gown.

Some people were already making comparisons. "No way! If Cecelia hadn't said anything, we wouldn't have noticed that the blue dress Ollie wore did look quite like one of Vera's dresses. But if you look closely, you can see the difference."

"Exactly. Now, there is a difference between the pattern of this dress and the authentic one. And the stitching on this dress is pretty rough too!"

"Huh? The one Cecelia is wearing is the authentic Vera, I saw it in Vera's flagship shop the last time was there. I'm not mistaken!"

The crowd looked at Ophelia. "Could this dress that Ollie is wearing be..."

The crowd looked at Ophelia. "Could this dress that Ollie is wearing be..."

Anyone who knew anything about Vera could see the difference between Ophelia's dress and the one worn by Cecelia.

Everyone knew that the dress Ophelia was wearing was a knockoff!

In fact, it didn't matter if Ophelia and Cecelia wore the same brand of dresses. However, what got people scared was the knockoff dress and the authentic dress being put together for comparison. Ophelia had been ridiculed and humiliated.

Ophelia didn't run away and revealed, "Cecelia, is that really Vera's couture dress you're wearing? I've seen this dress before. specifically asked about it at the time. The shop assistant said that a wealthy married businessman from Gerland City had bought the dress. Did that wealthy businessman give you the dress he bought?"

Ophelia's words made her take the upper hand. Instantly, the crowd started talking about Cecelia again.

Everyone could hear Ophelia implying that a wealthy married businessman had bought the dress. So was she suggesting that Cecelia was hidden away by that rich businessman? Chapter 22 She Stole the Spotlight

Did Cecelia become that businessman's mistress?
