Chapter 300 Unsettled Banquet
Natalie didn't stop Niamh, pretending she hadn't seen anything.
If Niamh still possessed such wisdom, then she might still be saved.
Only after a paternity test would Niamh believe her words, which is more conducive to the plan.
Natalie had to push Niamh into the heir's seat before Dovie discovered Ophelia's identity.
Niamh quietly hid her hair and then followed Dovie to attend the birthday party of the daughter of Universal Prosperity Bank's CEO.
This was a private banquet, and only a few people,those with absolute status in the circle, were invited by CEO Wade Prescott.
Niamh followed Dovie to the birthday party. She felt jealous when she saw the star of the banquet, Rhodes Prescott, wearing a galaxy dress and being complimented by everyone, like the center of the universe.
Rhodes, at her twenty, an age of age of innocence and romanticism, was young and attractive.
As Wade's beloved daughter, she was just back from a trip abroad.
Niamh liked to be the center of attention, but today, she felt completely invisible. Even if Dovie took her to meet some uncles and aunts, they just superficially praised her.
Niamh lacked outstanding qualities and talent, her looks nothing special either, while had some scandals instead.
Dovie took her to the banquet, where many people knew what what did that mean. It's that she was looking for a son-in-law for the Parks Family.
At today's party, all the guests were wealthy bigots who naturally didn't care about Niamh, and dared not talk to her.
On the contrary, today's female protagonist, Rhodes, had already caught the attention of many people who are considering marrying into her family.
Niamh also felt the strange looks from outside, looking displeased, grumbling, "Mom, look at those people, thinking they're so great. I hate them."
Dovie knew that Niamh was upset, but instead of blaming her, she comforted her. "These things depend on opportunities."
Just after her words, Dovie heard some movements at the entrance.
It was that Finnegan brought Ophelia along.
The protagonist, Wade, greeted CEO Abbott with his daughter Rhodes in tow, saying, "CEO Abbott's and Mrs. Abbott, welcome. This is my daughter Rhodes."
Rhodes said in a very relaxed tone, "CEO Abbott's, Mrs. Abbott's. Mrs. Abbott's looks so beautiful."
Ophelia smiled gently, presenting a beautifully wrapped gift in a box. "Thank you. This is the birthday gift we prepared for you. Hope you like it. Happy birthday."
Rhodes exclaimed joyfully, "Thank you."
Rhodes was a very friendly person, who could feel Ophelia's kindness. With just a few words, they became friends and started chatting together.
Ophelia handled it with ease, making Finnegan feel both relieved and proud.
The appearance of Ophelia upset Niamh.
'Why is Ophelia everywhere? If it weren't for Ophelia, I would be Mrs. Abbott's.' She thought angrily.
"Little Finnegan," Dovie greeted proactively, stepping forward. "Ophelia."
Ophelia smiled slightly. "Dovie."
Dovie looked at Ophelia with a gentle and ward gaze.
Finnegan also nodded slightly at Dovie to greet.
As for Niamh, both of them pretended not to have seen her.
"Mrs. Abbott, shall we go over there and sit?" Rhodes enthusiastically suggested, "I have many friends there whom I can introduce you to."
"Okay." Ophelia was not hesitant at all. Before coming, she had inquired with Finnegan that Rhodes was Wade's most cherished daughter, and establishing a friendly relationship with Universal Prosperity Bank would also be very beneficial.
This kind of social circle wasn't just about simple birthday parties; it was about expanding connections. She and Finnegan would be seen as connections, and they were also building their network at the banquet.
Ophelia and Rhodes left. Not far away, a group of girls of the same age were chatting and laughing.
Wade glanced over and enviously said to Finnegan, "You've found yourself a great wife. When I heard you got married before, I couldn't believe it. You really kept it well hidden."
Wade intended to introduce his daughter to Finnegan before, but now there was no chance.
"I also feel very lucky. When I meet the right person, I should pursue her quickly. Otherwise, what would happen if I missed such a good wife." As Finnegan mentioned Ophelia, his eyes became very tender.
Wade smiled and said, "So, you were the active one who pursued her?"
Finnegan admitted, "I've put in a lot of effort for this."
This made every one not only amazed but also more aware that Ophelia held a special status in Finnegan.
Finnegan lived up to his reputation as a doting husband.
Niamh couldn't stand it, finding it grating. The thought of losing to Ophelia made her feel indignant.
"Mom, I'm going to the restroom." Niamh made an excuse to leave.
As She was treated like air by people, this kind of neglect made her extremely unsettled.
Dovie didn't think much and nodded in agreement.
Niamh left the banquet hall and went to the corridor to get some fresh air. However, she saw someone acting very strangely. Driven by curiosity, she walked over.
Just as she approached, she heard. "Put this medicine in the drink and take it over. Proceed according to the plan."
