Chapter 1014
Nicole took out the invitation and walked into the banquet hall with great pride under countless gazes.
"Isn't that the Heart of the Ocean necklace around her neck, the one that sold for a sky-high price a few years ago?"
"That necklace was bought by a mysterious person at an auction five years ago. Could it be this young lady?"
"But I've never seen such a young lady in any of the prominent families in Watertown."
"It must be a fake. Look at her dress that is last year's model. She can't afford this season's new styles but can wear the Heart of the Ocean? Do you think that's possible?"
"If it's a fake, it's incredibly well-made."
Nicole walked through the banquet hall, feeling countless eyes on her. She straightened her chest, making the Heart of the Ocean around her neck even more conspicuous.
Sitting in the corner, three kids were suddenly taken aback.
"The Heart of the Ocean!" Owen suppressed his excitement. "Mommy was wearing the Heart of the Ocean that night!"
Keith held him down. "She doesn't look like Mom."
Todd raised his hand to call a waiter. "Go find out the identity of the lady wearing the blue diamond necklace."
The waiter respectfully went to inquire.
Owen murmured, "Do you remember the dream I had? Mommy changed her face and became another person. Although her appearance and figure changed, she was still our Mommy."
Keith remained silent.
Four years ago, they had gone through so much, witnessing their dad transform from the president of the Winston Group to the leader of the Black Gang.
They also witnessed their gentle, smiling mom gradually become someone with a bad temper and extreme personality.
In this world, anything was possible. Angela said Mom might have lost her memory. Could it be possible that someone changed her face?
That was why Angela hesitated when mentioning Mom.
The waiter quickly returned. "That young lady is from the Jenkins family in Brussville and came to Watertown with her brother for a project."
Owen became even more excited. "Brussville and last name Jenkins, match the information Keith found. And she's wearing the Heart of the Ocean. The most crucial point is that Daddy personally brought her into the banquet hall tonight. Do you think Daddy would bring in a woman who has nothing to do with him?"
Keith and Todd remained silent.
"I'll go test her. You guys wait here!"
Owen put down what he was holding and walked over.
Nicole walked through the banquet hall, holding a glass of champagne.
With the significant difference between her dress and the Heart of the Ocean, people around her couldn't figure out her identity. For the moment, no one approached her.
Nicole's eyes scanned everyone present. Just as she was about to connect with the socialite circle, she spotted a child.
The child looked about nine years old, dressed in a black suit with a bow tie, looking like a prince straight out of a fairy tale.
Nicole was somewhat stunned.
At that moment, Owen hurriedly rushed towards her and bumped into her, spilling the entire glass of wine in his hand onto her pale blue dress.
"My dress!"
Nicole's eyes widened in shock.
This dress had cost her two hundred thousand dollars, and she had worn it for less than an hour before it was drenched in wine.
Where did this troublemaking child come from? Nicole, filled with anger, was about to slap him.
