Chapter 442 Lucky Star
Ophelia stood still, feeling at a loss for the actions of the Prince of France approaching her.
Ophelia looked at Wilder, the man in front of her, filling her with awe. Wilder was a descendant of the royal family of France and was incredibly noble. As an ordinary person, she didn't dare to look directly at such a prominent figure.
However, Ophelia couldn't move her eyes away, as if she was frozen in place, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Wilder.
Seeing Wilder approaching the crowd, the leaders were frightened and hurriedly followed, even the plainclothes bodyguards by his side, protecting him on both sides.
Tate, guarded by Ophelia's side, was also vigilant toward them.
Wilder stopped just a step away from Ophelia, suddenly smiling, and asked in French, "Are you expecting a baby? When is your due date?"
This question left Ophelia even more bewildered, instinctively replying, "Mid-October."
"That's soon, take care of yourself. You are a beautiful mother," Wilder praised warmly, "What's your name?"
Wilder was somewhat surprised that Ophelia could fluently communicate in French, which gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Thank you," Ophelia nodded awkwardly, then calmly introduced herself, "Ophelia. Welcome to New York."
Hundreds of onlookers watched as Ophelia conversed with the prince. It was a great stroke of luck for her to engage in dialogue with a prince of the royal family of France.
"Ophelia," Wilder murmured, looking at Ophelia's belly with a smile. "A very pleasant name. I wish you and your baby a happy life."
Ophelia was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you."
Wilder smiled and then continued walking with the leaders. Ophelia watched his back as she remarked, "I never expected the Prince of Country F to be so affable."
Tate remarked, "When they visit our country, they must show friendliness. It's basic social etiquette. Their every word and action are being watched by the world."
While social etiquette was essential, Ophelia truly felt the warmth and friendliness from Wilder.
As the people walked away, everyone assumed that Wilder's sudden interaction with Ophelia on the street was merely a form of social etiquette to improve relations between the two countries, showing friendliness.
Soon, the scene of Prince Wilder conversing with Ophelia on the street trended on the Internet.
The composed interaction between Ophelia and the prince showcased the quality of the U.S., making the Americans proud.
Initially, some comments in the online community suggested that Ophelia was an actress arranged by local leaders, praising her beauty and fluency in French, like a melodious voice.
Later, Ophelia's identity was revealed. She was the wife of Finnegan, the head of Abbott's Corporation, the newly returned heiress of the Parks Family, and the actual controlling shareholder of Parks Corporation.
Ophelia had multiple identities, each one astonishing to others.
It seemed like a rags-to-riches story, from an orphan to marrying into a wealthy family, revealing her true identity as a lost heiress.
As the buzz around Ophelia increased, the stock of Abbott's Corporation also soared.
Finnegan called Ophelia with a smile. "Darling, you are truly my lucky star, as is our daughter."
Ophelia, unaware of the situation, returned home after her walk and started arranging flowers.
Ophelia asked, "What's going on?"
"The scene of you conversing with the French delegation on the street went viral, restoring the company's image," Finnegan said proudly, "Darling, how lucky am I to have met you."
Although Finnegan had clarified the situation in France, it still had an impact on the company's image. Ophelia helped improve the company's image.
"Really, that's great," Ophelia smiled. "I was also surprised today when the Prince named Wilder suddenly approached me. I was nervous at first, but he turned out to be so friendly."
Finnegan couldn't hide his joy and pride in his tone. "My wife has good connections and luck. Now I've become the envy of the nation."
Ophelia was also very happy.
