บททั้งหมดของ Revenge with my Fiancé's Billionaire Brother: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Millicent had learned an interesting thing about herself that day: she functioned much more efficiently when her sole focus was getting back at Austin and making him angry. Who knows, it wouldn't have been better if she had found a way to bring him with her and Isaac to that restaurant.Maybe then she would be able to stand confidently, instead of feeling so… Nervous.“Try to relax, Miss. Bianchi…” Isaac murmured in her ear, as the two followed the waiter to their table “Remember people will think we are on a business date and we have to make it look like a romantic date. And generally, a woman in love doesn’t seem as restless as you.”“I'm trying my best.” she squeaked silently, trying to soften her expression “It’s just… I didn’t expect you to choose a restaurant where almost all the patrons know my family.” Millicent made the mistake of looking around for a quick moment, finding all the other customers' eyes on her.“Of course. If we want the word to spread, then we have to get the

"Ms. Poulin?" Millicent stood up, surprised “It's good to see you, but... I think there may be some mistake in the schedule that may have been passed on to you. The new meeting to discuss the details of the project will only take place in 3 days…”"I know." the old woman snorted, not paying her any attention, while other team members crowded near the door with their expressions full of dread. “But I decided to get ahead of myself and save my time. It's all rubbish. Do it again and, this time, correctly, if you want me to continue with this project.”That disdainful look was powerful enough to make Millicent's blood run cold and, under other circumstances, she would certainly have her head down and totally intimidated by Laura, as well as her colleagues on the outside. It would be much easier to just give in and go through the enormous trouble of doing it all again. It would be Austin's responsibility anyway, since everyone thought he was the sole leader and creator of that project. How

The Carnbys' spring formal seemed more crowded than usual. Evan was the type of businessman who never refused to reach out to anyone as long as the other person offered enough money to do so, so obviously he had more “friends”, partners and clients than his family's huge mansion could support. Even so, they seemed to have squeezed in a hundred more people that year, almost to the point of making it difficult for waiters to move among the guests with trays of drinks and appetizers in their hands.And, even with that crowd divided into several different groups and distracted by several different conversations, almost everyone still turned to see Millicent and Isaac entering the room.“I wish they would at least try to hide it…” Millicent muttered to herself, but Isaac didn't even seem to have to make an effort to listen.“We are their evening's entertainment. They're probably relieved to have something to talk about now, instead of having to keep pretending to like each other.” Isaac c

If Jasmine's goal was to make an impressive entrance, she certainly succeeded, because many of the guests several feet away from where they stood had turned their necks to look at her. Perhaps not only because no one expected Austin's mistress to attend an important event like that, but also because she hadn't chosen a dress that was the least bit discreet for the occasion, with a long dark red skirt covered in sparkles and a large ruby ​​necklace on her neck that would not let her go unnoticed in any way. On her face, there was a convinced little smile, as if just by being there in front of Millicent she had already won something.However, that confidence only lasted until the moment when Florence seemed to recover from the shock.“What…” she panted, furious “What is this woman doing here, Austin?!”“Mom, I…” Austin stuttered, his gaze at Jasmine not at all soft or romantic “I… I don't know, but I promise I'll sort it out right now.” he growled, lunging at Jasmine to grab her arm. “I

“Mother…” Dante muttered, clearly surprised that this woman had come to him first.“What a lovely family reunion!” Florence said, either unable to read the tense mood in the air, or just ignoring it so she could focus on gaining Emma's favor “You see, Emma? Your son just wanted to talk to you. Aren't you glad you accepted my invitation? I said that besides talking about the business proposal my husband has for you, we could all get together. The Bianchis are yet to become one family with the Carnbys, I tell you…”"Get out." Emma cut her off, her voice still thin and merciless as Millicent remembered, even though she hadn't seen that woman since she was a toddler.“What…?” Florence stammered, trying to maintain her posture.
