Chapter 539
Word has it that today’s the birthday bash of her daughter and the highlight of the event is an auction of an antique gem – the famous Renaissance painting “Venus“. This piece of art is estimated to be worth around eight mil in the market. The auction doesn’t have a minimum bid and all the proceeds are gonna be donated to Project Hope. To prove this event is legit, they’ve even invited the media and official institutions to bear witness.
Among today’s guests, besides the social butterflies, there are also a few cultural maestros and antique–loving tycoons who are all itching to lay their eyes on “Venus“.
When Agnes walked in, she got everyone’s attention.
Her beauty was simply breathtaking.
Because at that moment, there were two identical faces in the entire banquet hall.
People started to whisper, speculation was running wild.
“Wait, what’s happening? Who’s that lady? How come she looks exactly like Ms. Beatrice?”
“I think Ms. Beatrice is the one who’s trying to look like her. You can tell Beatrice has done plastic surgeries, it’s pretty but something seems off. This lady’s face, on the other hand, looks naturally beautiful.”
“What’s going on here? If Ms. Beatrice had plastic surgery based on her face, then who is she really? How did she end up at Ms. Beatrice’s birthday party?” Chatter was flying everywhere.
All of Agnes‘ confusion was cleared up the moment she laid eyes on Beatrice.
Turns out, Beatrice had plastic surgery.
And her face was modeled after Agnes‘.
At that moment, Beatrice also noticed the commotion at the entrance and looked over.
She was completely taken aback when she saw Agnes.
Today she was wearing a shimmering starry dress, totally eye-catching.
She was surrounded by many people, all praising her unparalleled beauty.
But when she turned around, she saw Agnes‘ face.
Beatrice was totally shocked, for a moment she thought she was seeing things.
The person in front of her, that face…
It was identical to hers, who else could it be but Agnes?
But Agnes disappeared four years ago. Beatrice still remembers what happened on that night four years ago.
She knew Agnes was pregnant.
Despite the risk, she wanted to kill Agnes with her car.
But suddenly, an SUV appeared and sent her car crashing into a tree.
She was seriously injured at that time, but while unconscious, she saw Agnes come to her.
Agnes knew the people who came out of the SUV, the car accident was no accidènt, it was deliberate.
Agnes was unscathed, while she was almost killed.
After that, she was seriously injured and took a long time to recover. Her ribs almost pierced her lungs, she was close to death.
