The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1018

Hearing someone call out the name, Fiona turned toward the sound and saw Savannah. The woman was dressed in a perfectly tailored strapless satin gown, free of unnecessary embellishments, with a striking blue sapphire necklace resting against her collarbone. Her long, wavy hair cascaded down her back, and her bold, glamorous makeup perfectly complemented her radiant, poised presence. Fiona stared at her, unable to hide the deep disgust and jealousy brewing in her eyes. She could not believe Savannah actually had the nerve to show up.

Savannah was in the middle of a conversation with another guest.

"Savannah, you missed seeing Fiona fawning all over him just now," the guest murmured. "Darin Foxhall completely ignored her."

Savannah and Fiona had always been at odds, and Savannah almost never attended galas hosted by the Lane family. Of course, this was a strictly private feud between the younger generation. The invitation had originally been sent to her father, Finley, but Savannah had only decided to tag along upon hearing that Darin would be in attendance tonight. Sensing Fiona's hostile gaze, Savannah lifted her eyes to meet it. Fiona's expression instantly froze, and she spun around to walk away.

"Where is Darin?" Savannah asked. Darin had just stepped out of the banquet hall right as she arrived.

"A waiter accidentally spilled wine on his suit," her companion replied. "I am not sure where he went."

Savannah curled her lips into a cold smile. That sounded like a rather convenient accident.

Finley finished greeting some acquaintances and walked over to his daughter. The two stepped aside for some privacy. "Dad, what is it?" Savannah asked.

"A lot of people are here tonight specifically for Darin," Finley noted quietly. He had no objections to Savannah wanting to win Darin back. Over the past few years, he had introduced her to countless eligible bachelors, and she had even dated a few, but absolutely nothing had worked out.

Finley knew deep down that she simply could not let go of Darin. Now that Darin had completely established his independence, he was a truly exceptional man. He was young, highly accomplished, and maintained an impeccable reputation. Honestly, who wouldn't want someone like him as a son-in-law?
