Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 51

Meanwhile, Ryan narrowed his eyes at the man who was smiling at Lora and his sister. He beckoned his assistant over and asked, “What is that man doing here? Who invited him?”

Lawrence glanced at where Ryan was pointing. He smiled and replied, “That’s Aiden Davis, the CEO of Protech Company Limited. You told me to invite all CEO’s, Sir.”

'Aiden Davis?'

Ryan asked in his mind and then it hit him… Jack Davis had a younger brother who was very young. It seemed he had mistakenly gotten jealous for nothing…. Aiden was Lora’s uncle.

He let out a sigh of relief before someone came over to chat with him about business. However, the whole time that he was engaged in a conversation, he couldn't keep his eyes off Lora. There was just something about her that drew him in like a moth is drawn to a flame.

Lora looked so beautiful in the sapphire dress... She looked like a goddess who had no job being on this dirty earth.

At the same time, Celeste and her daughter, Isabella sat at one of the round tables and discussed about Lora.

“Mom, are you sure she’s not Larisa? They look so much alike,” Isabella asked.

They were shocked when they saw Lora at the party. How was it possible for her to look like someone who had died six years ago?

Celeste glanced at Lora and saw how Ryan kept looking at her from a distance. Ivy was seated in a wheelchair alone, completely abandoned by Ryan.

She laughed and replied, “If she’s Larisa, do you think Ryan would sit and watch her from a distance? He would confront her about her identity and why she faked her death.”

“You’re right, Mom. Perhaps they just look alike but Ryan seems to be interested in her,” Isabella remarked.

“That’s because she looks like his dead wife. These Kingsley men are all the same… they stay in love with ghosts. Your father is like that too. He can’t forget his damned dead wife,” Celeste hissed, a flash of hatred flickering through her eyes.

“Does it mean Ivy is no longer useful in our plan?” Isabella asked.

Celeste frowned, thinking about her daughter’s words. She remarked, “We need to tell him about this.”

Isabella nodded and replied, “Yes we should… perhaps Lora would be of much help to us than Ivy.”

The mother and daughter glanced at each other, a tacit understanding settling between them.

On the other hand, Lora was kept busy by the guests at the party. Many people came to greet and congratulate her.

Others were interested in striking a deal with Davis & Co., so they talked to her, hoping to secure an appointment with her. Lora was kept so occupied that she didn’t even have time to be with Jason.
