Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 144

The man snorted icily. “Stop putting up an act. I’ve heard everything clearly! You are obviously after my money. I will withdraw the investment I gave Steele Group!”

Miranda panicked when she heard he wanted to withdraw his capital.

Losing both the rich son-in-law and his funds would be catastrophic for their family.

She immediately went after him. “Please forgive Emilia. I promise she won’t complain again no matter what you want her to do.”

The man ignored her, and his bodyguards came forward to stop Emilia and Miranda from getting any closer to him.

Emilia’s hurried pace caused her high heels to catch on the hem of her dress, and the fabric tore with a loud rip. A sizable gap opened up behind her, leaving her feeling exposed and embarrassed.

She climbed to her feet and staggered to the door.

She couldn’t afford to let him leave. It was hard for her to find a rich and foolish man like him. She really thought he was the one who could provide for her.

No matter how hard she yelled, the man refused to look back. He hopped onto his vehicle which was worth tens of millions and drove away,

Emilia halted in her tracks to discover that her body felt chilly. Looking down, she was shocked to see that the gap in her dress had widened as she ran out, and her body was almost naked.

At the entrance, people were staring at her lecherously. Emilia let out a horrified scream and fled back into the hotel.

Her reputation and image as a graceful socialite were instantly ruined.

Back in the dressing room, Emilia flung her arms around Miranda and wailed, “Mom, it was all Christina’s fault! She has destroyed my wedding! My husband ran away, and Dad yelled at me! Christina wanted me to suffer! Look at my dress. She must’ve done it on purpose to humiliate me!”

Emilia’s loud wails filled the air and her resentment was palpable.

Miranda was boiling with anger. She was convinced that Christina had plotted everything against her daughter so that she wouldn’t get to marry a wealthy husband.

“Don’t cry, Emilia. It wasn’t your fault. You’re still young and pretty, so I’m sure you’ll find more opportunities to get to know more men in the future she comforted Emilia.

Emilia bobbed her head and threw herself into Miranda’s arms to seek comfort. “Mom, you must take revenge on my behalf. I hate her!”

Miranda patted her head in a comforting manner and vowed, “I won’t let Christina off the hook!”

Christina thought Emilia would show up to seek revenge the next day, but to her surprise, she stayed

under the radar.

The scandal that happened last night was kept under the lid. It was most probably Emilia’s fiancé who

did it as he didn’t want his reputation to take a tow.

The incident had been so humiliating that Emilia should have been hiding at home, away from the nosy crowd.

Christina didn’t pay any attention to that as she was entirely focused on her work. Anna and Xenia were capable enough to handle most of the day-to-day tasks efficiently.

Once she finished the design draft, she would need assistance with the intricate details of the production process.

The three of them were tied down with work. During their lunch break at noon, Xenia took a break to make some coffee in the pantry.

A few colleagues were gathered in the pantry, chatting with each other. When they noticed Xenia, they approached her and praised her, “You’re so fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from Ms. Steele.”

“I’ve actually seen a few final products. You’re more talented than Ms. Steele in sewing!”
