Chapter 213 My Wife, Ophe
The moment their eyes met, Natalie felt a sudden shock and instinctively avoided making eye contact, shifting her gaze away. Ophe found this strange, as she didn't know Natalie, but anyone who appeared in this setting was definitely not an ordinary person. She responded with a faint smile.
Dovie introduced Ophe to Natalie, saying, "This is Ophe."
Upon hearing this name, Natalie once again looked at Ophe, her gaze now filled with coldness and hostility. It was Ophe who caused Niamh to be detained for fifteen days.
Joe, the CEO of HF Bank, hosted the dinner party. The other guests were influential industry figures and well-known entrepreneurs who ranked high on the list. Ophe had seen these people online before, but it was her first time being in such proximity to them.
Finnegan brought Ophe to the event, which surprised everyone. What caught their attention wasn't that Finnegan brought a woman but that they entered holding hands.
Joe stood up in surprise and greeted them, saying, "CEO Abbott's, who is this?"
Among the influential figures present, most were in their forties or fifties, married with families, or having been married multiple times. Finnegan was the youngest among them, and some even wanted to marry off their daughters to him.
Finnegan had never had a girlfriend before, and neither had any rumors. He was so attractive that many women tried to lure him and failed.
Not many people knew about Finnegan's marriage, so his sudden attendance at the event with Ophe left everyone stunned.
Finnegan glanced at Ophe and introduced her to everyone, saying, "This is my wife, Ophe."
He was open and honest when speaking with a resounding declaration.
Everyone except for Dovie was shocked. Finnegan had quietly gotten married?
Joe couldn't hide his surprise and exclaimed, "CEO Abbott's, when did you get married?"
The CEO of an electronics company jokingly added, "CEO Abbott's, you are still waters run deep."
The CEO of an e-commerce company, Mark, smiled and said, "Congratulations! When are you going to invite us all for a wedding celebration?"
The CEO of a real estate company, Walker, teased, "CEO Abbott's, you sure hid it well. We heard rumors about you and President Natalie's daughter, so it seems the rumors were true after all."
Dovie smiled faintly and said, "Those are all rumors from the outside."
With that, Dovie waved to Ophe and said, "Ophe, come sit next to me."
The guests at this table practically controlled the majority of the country's economy, with their industries spread across the nation.
Each one of them had a net worth exceeding hundreds of billions.
Ophe looked at Finnegan and nodded slightly. Then, she walked toward Dovie and said, "Hello, Chairman Dovie."
"There's no need to be so formal," Dovie said with a smile. "Please have a seat, don't stand."
Standing for a long time was not good for pregnant women.
Ophe sat down next to Dovie, and Finnegan also sat beside Ophe, casually chatting with the big shots.
It was natural for men to smoke cigarettes in a gathering. E-commerce CEO Mark handed Finnegan a cigarette.
Finnegan declined politely, saying, "I'm sorry, my wife is not feeling well and can't stand the smell of smoke. Please, no smoking here."
Ophe glanced at Finnegan and smiled because he cared about her.
As experienced individuals, they understood the meaning behind not being able to tolerate the smell of smoke.
CEO Mark joked, "CEO Abbott's, your speed is truly astonishing. You may not smoke, but you can't refuse to drink."
The others also understood and put out their cigarettes.
Finnegan nodded with a smile and said, "Today, let's enjoy ourselves."
Finnegan used not to be enthusiastic about drinking. These individuals were all acquaintances with intertwined business relationships. They knew well that Finnegan was principled and not easily influenced to drink.
When they knew Finnegan's willingness today, everyone became interested.
Joe said happily, "Then, we must drink to our heart's content today. I will have someone bring some good wine."
Then, Joe looked at Ophe and said, "Mrs. Abbott’s, I really admire you for winning over CEO Abbott's. Please tell us how you met, who pursued who, and how you managed to marry CEO Abbott's. How did you become interested in this cold and boring person?"
It was genuine admiration, and Joe gave Ophe a thumbs up.
Not only did she win over Finnegan, but she also brought about a change in Finnegan.
