Chapter 699
Time seemed to cease. Janiceâs and Oliviaâs beauty was too surreal to be true.
One of them was like a flower blooming in spring while the other was like the moon in fall.
Kennethâs fingers tightened around his wine glass. It felt like a dream to him. He began doubting if that
was the Janice he knew.
Countless images of Janice smashing items and her anguish screams played in his mind. His memories
of her had always been of her begging him not to go or her scolding and humiliating Jessica.
Now, her cold gaze swept across the crowd like that of a superior woman. It didnât stay on him for a
second.
It was so unfamiliar that it seemed like they were strangers.
On the other hand, Darrell was staring at Olivia in a daze. He was aware of how pretty she was, but he
didnât expect her to turn into a belle in that minimalistic dress.
As she looked at everyone with an indifferent gaze, she ignited his sense of competitiveness for some
reason.
The threeâs appearance drew everyoneâs attention.
Janiceâs situation was completely different from peopleâs description, especially when they saw that she
was standing by Haroldâs side.
Jessica-Mrs. Miller Senior-couldnât even come near him.
She had dolled herself up, even getting a manicure.
However, Janice managed to impress everyone with her inherent grace as someone who grew up in a
rich family.
Compared to Janice, Jessica was like a Christmas tree. Jessica wore the most expensive gown and a lot
of accessories.
All of them fell silent upon Haroldâs appearance.
Jessica didnât miss how Kenneth was stunned by Janiceâs beauty. Jessica almost crushed all her teeth from clenching her jaw!
In order to let everyone know that she was the host, she lifted her gown and approached Harold.
A sweet smile was plastered on her face. âDad, why didnât you call me to bring you over?â
She walked toward behind the wheelchair, pushing Janice away unobtrusively to show her position in the
Miller family.
Janice disapproved of Jessica and commented in her head, âAttention-seeker.â
Janice figured that Jessica was waiting for her to get mad and humiliate her in front of everyone. That
way, Jessica would be able to make up an excuse to put herself down to earn everyoneâs sympathy.
Jessica was never tired of this kind of play, but unfortunately for her, Janice didnât even spare her a
glance.
Since Jessica was trying to be a good daughter-in-law, Janice gladly took the chance to enjoy her
freedom.
Janice turned and left without a care of the world.
At the same time, Harold was wearing a long face because Ethan hadnât shown up.
Jessica thought that it was her win, hence the warm salutation.
It made Oliviaâs skin crawl and worsened her gastric. She whispered a few words to Harold before he waved his hand gently at her. âGo ahead. Grab something to eat. Youâre too skinny.â
Nodding, Olivia headed to the food section under watchful eyes. She left Jessica alone with her one-man
show.
Even so, Jessica was in a good mood as she thought that no one could waver her position in the Miller family.
She was planning to drive Janice out of the house once the banquet was over to take her revenge.
Olivia grabbed some food and sat on the couch. She had taken medicines before this. They staved off the pain in the beginning, but they werenât helping much right now.
It hurt so much that she drew a sharp breath. She drank some warm water to alleviate the discomfort. âOlivia, you donât look well. Are you alright?â
