The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 1854



"Ralph..." Carrie looked at the man's spirited face, and her eyes sparkled brightly.

Ralph's unexpected appearance instantly dispelled the nervous feelings in her heart. She also recognized the elegant and poised woman beside Ralph. It was Ralph's mother, Madam Mila of the Thompson family.

Carrie's heart tightened. Shannon often mentioned that Mayor Solloway was a skilled diplomat and was well-versed in dealing with people. Given that he had invited the Salvador family, he would not have made the mistake of inviting the Thompson family as well. That would be like putting two tigers on one mountain.

Sure enough, the expression of the Solloways changed, and Gregory's expression darkened.

Mayor Solloway awkwardly explained, "Chairman Salvador, this is truly unexpected. We did not send an invitation to the Thompson family. This situation is..." Gregory waved his hand with a half-smile and said, "No big deal. This is your house, Mayor Solloway. There's no need to tell me about such a trivial matter."

Mayor Solloway and his wife were sweating profusely. It was obvious to everyone that Gregory was not pleased.

At this moment, a murmur began to spread among the surrounding guests.

"Oh my! Who is that man standing beside Madam Mila? He is so handsome!"

"Look at him. He's such an outstanding young man! If I had a daughter, I would definitely want to arrange a marriage with him!"

"Stop dreaming. You may not know him, but I do! That is the rarely-seen Young Master Ralph Thompson. After his older brother died in a plane crash, he became Madam Mila's only son and was cherished like a precious gem. They will surely be very selective about his marriage."

Everyone was astonished. "Young Master Ralph Thompson?!"

"Wow..."

This revelation created a halo effect, making Ralph even more attractive to them.

"Comparison is the thief of all joy. Initially, I thought Jason was good-looking, but he's completely overshadowed by Ralph!"

"Of course! Ralph is the son of Chairman Thompson and Madam Mila. The Solloway family is merely a government servant. They can't be compared with giant corporations like the Thompson family." When these words reached Jason's ears, his smile froze, and his fists clenched tightly in the shadows.

In order to match his mother's expectations, Ralph had worn a formal suit just for tonight. Normally, he would not be seen in one, as his movements felt restrained in it From time to time, he would tug at his tie uncomfortably.

"Can you stop twisting and turning like a monkey?" Mila's face remained unchanged as she secretly pinched her son's waist. "Did someone put fleas in your collar?"

Ralph winced in pain, and his gaze inadvertently drifted toward Carrie. When their eyes met, Carrie smiled joyfully and raised her hand to wave at him in greeting. In an instant it was as if his world had become brighter. His heart rippled with affection.

"Mila, what brings you here?" Alvin walked over to the mother and son.

By right, Ralph should have addressed him as his uncle.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

But he knew well that his mother had long been expelled from the Larson family, and these so-called relatives had never helped her over the years. Hence, Ralph would not acknowledge this kinship and only gave Alvin a cold look.

Mila smiled gracefully and said, "The sky may have its limits, but not my legs. I wanted to come, so I came."

Alvin's expression stiffened as the guests whispered among themselves, speculating about the relationship between the Larsons.

"My father and I were invited here by Mayor Solloway. As far as I know, Mayor Solloway and his wife did not send you an invitation." Aaron quipped, adding to the fire.
