Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 327

A few of the guests had an axe to grind, they came to the banquet just to witness the fall of the Wrights.

However, their expressions changed immediately once Susan’s identity was announced.

It was then that an ominous premonition emerged in their hearts.

‘If Susan was George’s biological daughter, then…’

Luna ignored everybody’s faces as she smiled and continued, “This banquet is held today to share the good news with everyone. The Wright family has always had the tradition of organizing a sweet eighteen ceremony for the kids. However, since Susan was living away from us, she didn’t get one on her eighteenth birthday. Now that we’ve finally found her, we’ll make it up to her by having a ceremony for her although she’s already outgrown her eighteenth birthday and is about to become a mother herself.”

Luna gazed at Susan with her gentle eyes.

Although this banquet was held to clarify things, the Wrights had always been looking forward to reuniting officially with Susan as well.

“When Serene and Anna came to age, we sought out prestigious and respected elders to present them their sweet eighteen gift.” Luna explained in her soft voice, “And today, we’ve also invited a toastmaster for this sweet eighteen make-up.”

Luna had suddenly shifted her topic to the ceremony but everybody was now intrigued by the news and had tons of questions. However, since Luna had been ignoring all her guests, they could only twiddle their thumbs.

They could still vaguely remember that the host of Serene’s sweet eighteen was a VIP from the higher echelons of society.

Since Anna was extremely persistent and insisted on it, Pawpaw Clark was the host of Anna’s ceremony. Pawpaw Clark was the sworn brother of her grandpa and was quite a prestigious personage back in the days. Later on, Canada wanted to invite him to come out of retirement but he rejected it due to his health condition. He had been living with the Wrights ever since. Both Anna and Serene had been addressing him as their grandpa all this while.

Now that the Wrights had finally reunited with their long-lost daughter, who would be be hosting her sweet eighteen make-up?

While everybody was guessing, a hale and hearty old man walked his way down to the hall from the stairwell.

The audience went silent in an instant.

A trace of shock and surprise flashed across Susan’s face as well once she saw who it was! ‘This person… looks very familiar!’

However, it was still near unbelievable to Susan.

The old man who appeared before her, was he real?

Meanwhile, the comments were all over the place on the live broadcast site.

“Holy sh*t!”

“Oh my God! He’s a big shot!”

“She has quite the background right there.”

“He’s the host of her party? That’s the coolest of cools. I need to hold myself a sweet eighteen too.”

“It doesn’t matter how many make-ups do you have, he wouldn’t give a sh*t about you.”

The news was a ticking bomb. The entire comment section on the broadcast was on fire with the internet going crazy from the sight of it.

“However, Susan turned out to be George Wright's biological daughter, what a mind-blowing plot twist!”

However, there were still netizens who were persistently exploring the truth among all the ‘holy crap’s and ‘OMG’s.

“I’ve heard of the news regarding Marshal Wright losing a daughter. I stay close to Ningcheng City and people did drop by the house asking about the missing girl.”

“I’m from around here as well. There are indeed people who’ve been looking for her. That explains the girl that was lost in Ningcheng. It’s just that I didn't expect that the little girl would turn out to be Susan Shelby.”

She kept muttering like a mad lady.

Joseph glanced at her, and a hint of disgust flashed through his eyes. ‘This b*tch! Such puny things actually managed to provoke her into such a state! If it weren't for the help of the Jenkins, he wouldn’t even take a glimpse at this woman’.

Joseph suppressed the disgust in his heart and gently pulled Charlotte over. “Charlotte, don’t you worry. Even if Julian and the Wrights could handle the bribery, Julian won’t be able to explain the other incidents. As long as all the other matters still exist, he wouldn’t be able to liberate himself from all that even if he’s George Wright’s son-in-law.”

“You’re right!” Charlotte’s hope rekindled and she asserted coldly, “Susan, enjoy it while you can.”

Joseph squinted his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

‘Julian Shaw, you are way too naïve if your plan was just to get me to watch this broadcast.

‘So what if there is a change in Susan’s identity? You’re still the scapegoat of all the incidents that I’ve concocted!’

Back at the banquet, the VIP had already walked to the front under countless surprised gazes from within and outside of the courtroom.

George Wright saluted him.

“It’s a private party, save the courtesy.” He chuckled. “I’m not your superior tonight, I’m only an ordinary old man who came to host your daughter’s sweet eighteen.”

“Yes sir.” George Wright responded with a smile.

Luna gave way to the VIP as he walked towards Susan.

“You must be Susan.” He smiled kindly. “I’ve heard a lot about you from your father. I was told that you’re already a very prestigious interior designer at such a young age. That’s something to be proud of.”
