The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: You Want to Kick Out the ’Jinx’? Okay.

In that case, the "one and only Miss Lockwood" Ian Perry mentioned must be referring to Noelle Lockwood. After all, over a decade ago when Old Mr. Lockwood registered her, she was the Lockwood Family’s only daughter.

The charity’s knowledge of the Lockwoods was stuck over a decade in the past. In their memory, the so-called true heiress was, of course, Noelle Lockwood.

A satisfied smile appeared on Austin Lockwood’s face. Suzi Lowell, who was beside them, immediately caught on. "Noelle, look! The charity is acknowledging you!"

A shy blush crept onto Noelle Lockwood’s face as she bit her lip. "Don’t say that. Maybe they’re talking about Estelle."

Suzi Lowell scoffed. "Noelle, you became an Angel Member over ten years ago. Where was Estelle Lockwood back then? The charity has no idea she even exists!"

"That’s why they said you’re the Lockwood Family’s only daughter! Back then, Estelle Lockwood was still a country bumpkin in the middle of nowhere. The charity probably doesn’t even know who she is!"

After she said this, many people in the crowd started to catch on.

That was it. The phrase "one and only true heiress" wasn’t referring to Estelle Lockwood, but to Noelle Lockwood.

Over a decade ago, the only Miss Lockwood had been Noelle.

The charity wouldn’t pay attention to high-society gossip, so it was understandable they didn’t know the Lockwoods’ true heiress had been switched out. Therefore, the person they were talking about had to be Noelle Lockwood.

Suzi Lowell looked smug. "Estelle Lockwood, just now Noelle was kind enough to offer you a seat in the VIP section, but you insisted on refusing. See? Now Noelle is Mr. Lynch’s honored guest, and you’re nothing. How humiliating is that?"

Rose Lowell also chided her sanctimoniously, "Estelle, Noelle was just trying to be kind. You’re simply too jealous. You’re always trying to one-up her. Look, she’s a member of the charity. How can you compete with that?"

Other guests, forgetting everything else, rushed to flatter her. "Miss Noelle, we had no idea you were as kind as you are beautiful. No wonder the Lockwood Family adores you so much."

"President Lockwood, Mrs. Lockwood, you’ve certainly done a wonderful job raising your daughter!"

Noelle Lockwood couldn’t wait to see the look on Estelle Lockwood’s face!

’She must be absolutely mad with jealousy, right?’

"Please, everyone, don’t say things like that. You’ll hurt Estelle’s feelings..."

"Noelle, why are you so kind? You’re still concerned about your sisterly bond even now. Have you forgotten how Estelle Lockwood treats you!"

The more Suzi Lowell spoke, the more worked up she became. She shot to her feet, looked at Ian Perry on the stage, and shouted:

"Mr. Perry, our Noelle is Mr. Lynch’s honored guest! So if she’s being bullied, shouldn’t Mr. Lynch stand up for her and make things right!"

Estelle Lockwood propped her chin on her hand, popped a grape into her mouth, and smiled faintly. "Mr. Lynch, what do you have to say about that?"

Without so much as a glance at Noelle Lockwood, not even lifting an eyelid, Nathaniel Sloan simply asked, "How much do you want to fleece the Lockwoods for?"

Estelle Lockwood replied unhurriedly, "The Lockwood Family is just an empty shell right now; they can’t afford much. Let’s say two hundred million. That should be the exact amount of working capital Austin Lockwood just managed to scrape together."

Nathaniel Sloan nodded. "Alright."

He gave a subtle lift of his hand. Ian Perry gave an imperceptible nod, then turned to Suzi Lowell. "But of course."

Seeing Ian Perry’s encouraging response, Suzi Lowell’s face lit up with glee. She jabbed a finger at Estelle Lockwood and declared loudly:

"It’s bad enough that this woman is always targeting Noelle, but just now, at the entrance, she actually questioned whether Noelle had an invitation and dared to say she wasn’t worthy of entering the auction hall! Our Noelle is an Angel Member; she doesn’t even need an invitation! Noelle decided not to stoop to her level, but what does she do? She doesn’t even apologize and just walks off!"

"Mr. Perry, you tell me! Shouldn’t a woman like this be thrown out to give your Angel Member the respect she deserves!"

Suzi Lowell recalled her parents telling her how they had taken Joseph to Dewdrop Garden for dinner a few days ago, only to be thrown out and thoroughly humiliated by Estelle Lockwood.
