After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 41

When Sheila finished, the whole room was shocked.

People's gaze towards Lyra changed instantly.

Cody knew Lyra's real identity. His was instantly infuriated, "Who the hell are you to slander my friend!"

Sheila was jealous and angry when she saw that Cody was still defending Lyra even after what she had said.

Sheila did not dare to offend the young devil of the Carver family, she could only suppress her fury, "Mr. Carver, you've been deceived by this woman. She is best at acting like an innocent angel and seducing men. She used to wheedle my grandfather like that!

"Bullshit! Lyra is..."

The person behind him suddenly pinched his arm so hard that Cody's words came to a screeching halt and he turned his head to look at Lyra.

Lyra slightly furrowed her brow and shook her head, her gaze indicative of something.

Melvin, who had been keeping silent in the crowd, saw the small movements between the two clearly and subconsciously frowned.

Cody, who understood Lyra's hint here, completely stopped talking.

Lyra looked straight at Sheila and snorted, "It seems that the lesson for you last time isn't enough? You still have the strength to come out and speak evil of others."

Sheila's entire body shivered with fear being stared by Lyra like this; she felt like her knees which had just recovered were aching again.

Considering that they were in the public and quite far apart from each other, Sheila thought that Lyra wouldn't dare do anything, so it emboldened her to denounce Lyra loudly.

"How dare you mention last time? You broke into my house and smashed everything because you had your paramour to back you up, and..."

"Sheila Freeman."

Not far away, Melvin called out to her in a calm tone.

Sheila subconsciously shuddered. When her brother called her by her full name, it usually meant that he was really enraged.

She was reluctant, but had to stop talking more about the last time and return to the topic of tonight.

"Hmph, no matter what, this dress on you is fake. Instead of waiting for the truth to be revealed, you might as well admit it directly now!"

Lyra did not speak.

Charlotte on the stage, however, took the microphone and said, "Lyra, if you really like the First Snow by Miss Z, I can send it to you after the party. Today is my special day, I do not want to spoil everyone's mood because of this. I'll let the maid take you down to get a new one first, alright?"

With her words, not only did she make herself look generous and kind, she also reaffirmed the fact that Lyra's dress was a knock-off.

Jamie saw this and immediately passed a wink to Katelyn.

Katelyn hurriedly beckoned the maid, "Take this lady to the guest room and give her a new dress."

Two maids immediately came out and were about to pull Lyra, who was still standing on the red carpet.

At this time, all the guests present had believe in consensus that she was wearing the knock-off dress, thus looking at her with contempt and disgust.

After all, one was a member of the Matthews family, while the other was just someone who grew up in an orphanage. The difference in status was too great, and the truth was obvious.

"Wait."

Just as the maid approached, Lyra finally spoke.

She smiled and looked tenderly at Charlotte on the stage, "The dresses designed by Miss Z are not only beautiful in shape, the sewing and stitching techniques of each dress are also very unique. Even though the knock-off dress looks like the original one, it cannot replicate the very way of stitching."

Charlotte was confused, "What are you trying to say?"

Lyra smiled lightly, looking like a proud dialectician.

"If Miss Matthews insists that her dress is the authentic one, then do you dare battle with me in dancing to the song 'Lover'?"

'Lover' is the most difficult dance in tango, showing the different sides of a woman: gentle, wild, coquettish, pampered, etc. This dance was difficult in the footwork and rhythmic changes. Even if the dancer got slightly distracted, she could no longer keep up with the music.

The whole room was shocked!

This woman hadn't gotten crazy enough, huh?

Who gave her the confidence to propose a battle!

Didn't she think she had made enough of a fool of herself?

After the dancer finished such a difficult and intense song, if she was wearing the knock-off dress, with that inferior stitching technique, she would have the dress torn apart.

By then, it would be an unprecedented scandal in front of so many people!

But since someone was willing to make a fool of themselves, they were more than happy to watch the show.
