Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Bragging Rights

Out of the corner of her eye, Bianca caught Micah heading their way.

She nudged Darya and whispered, ‘What’s he doing here?”

Harley saw him as well.

She hastened to explain, ‘I didn’t invite him here.”

As one of Darya’s oldest friends, Harley was well aware of the history between Darya and Micah.

She sided with Bianca on the issue–Micah was not good enough for Darya.

She would never have asked the man to come, knowing Darya was going to be here.

Darya was unconcerned. ‘He could have gotten the invitation from somewhere else.‘

The Cavanaughs had considerable clout in Hagen.

Getting access to a fashion show had to be a piece of cake for a man like Micah.

What surprised Darya was why he’d deign to show up at such an event.

The man was a workaholic.

During the three years of their marriage, he practically lived at the office.

As Darya posed for the cameras, she wondered absently if Micah’s company was interested in moving into the fashion industry.

That had to be the reason for his presence here.

Meanwhile, Regina and Felicia finally talked their way backstage.

‘I thought I saw my brother,‘ Felicia said.

‘Really? Where?‘ Regina checked her reflection using her phone camera.

Micah was the whole point of her coming here tonight.

‘He was just there.‘ Felicia pointed to the end of a hallway. ‘But he’s gone now.‘

‘Let’s go say hi.‘

‘But I want to go talk to the model.‘ Felicia weaved her way through the crowd of people milling about. ‘I want

to take a picture with her. And with the designer. For my Instagram.‘

Anyone could see the show was a huge success.

There would be articles and tweets about it.

For Felicia, it would be a waste not to brag about being here.

Regina tried to stop her. ‘Maybe we should go look for your brother first.‘

Unlike Felicia, she already knew who the model was and she didn’t want Darya to have another chance to get

close to Micah’s family.

‘Come on. It won’t take long.’ Felicia craned her neck to get a better view,

There were too many people backstage.

‘I don’t feel so well,‘ Regina placed a hand on her chest. ‘The air here’s too stuffy.‘

She had to stall.

What if they ran into Darya first and then Micah saw them?

If even she was stunned by how breathtaking Darya was tonight, she could only imagine what Micah would

think when he saw the woman in that dress.

She didn’t want the two of them anywhere near each other.

‘What’s wrong with you?‘ Felicia stopped, impatient.

‘Maybe we should wait outside,‘ Regina said weakly. ‘It’s too crowded in here. I need some fresh air.‘

Felicia knew Regina had a medical condition.

She held out a hand reluctantly. ‘Fine, Let’s go.‘

As she turned around, she glimpsed a familiar tiara over a throng of reporters‘ heads.

The woman’s face was blocked from view.

‘That’s her!‘ She shouted excitedly. “That’s the model with the moon goddess dress! I want a picture with her!‘

‘Wait!‘ Regina grabbed her hand. ‘We should go.”

‘Come on! She’s right over there!‘ Felicia pushed her way through the crowd, her phone held up in the air.

‘Miss, miss! I love that dress! Can I take a pic-‘

The rest of her sentence died in her throat as she finally saw the model’s face.

She did a double take and still couldn’t believe what she saw. ‘It’s you!‘

Darya paid her no notice.

She thanked the reporters and politely declined requests for more photos, then dragged Bianca away to a

vacant dressing room.

‘Phew.‘ Bianca sank into a chair. ‘Now I know what it feels like to be famous.‘

‘So how do you feel about your fifteen minutes of fame? Darya sat down next to her.

‘I feel that I have a newfound respect for Callan,‘ Bianca said. ‘I used to think being chased by the media was fun. Now I know I’m wrong.

She turned to Darya, ‘What did you say to the reporters to make them leave?

“They wanted a story. I gave them one.‘

‘Which is?‘

Darya smiled mischievously. ‘I told them Callan’s dating one of the models here. That’s why he showed up tonight. They are probably hunting him down right now.”
