His Versatile Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 213
A chandelier, in which its Swarovski crystals sparkled and glittered, illuminated the magnificent hall.
The Actonwards was prominent. Its business, including overseas properties, had flourished even more ever since it came
together with the Bakers by a marriage contract.
Hence, the guests being invited to Yvette’s party were all but influential figures.
Yvette looked like a princess with the red butterfly knot hairpin and her fishtail dress trimmed with gold sequins.
“Yvette, you look amazing!”
“Happy birthday, Yvette. I’ve prepared a starshaped diamond as your birthday present. Later, when you unwrap it, remember to
read the
card.”
Yvette thanked her friends with a grin on her face.
Just then, a young lady came rushing in. She grabbed hold of Yvette’s hand and gabbled, “Yvette, guess what I saw outside?”
The latter tilted her head. “What is it?”
“There’s a girl attending the party wearing a black gown!” The young lady’s face was full of anger as she spat out, intentionally
emphasizing the word “black.”
The young lady was unhappy seeing that someone actually dared trifled with Yvette. “You mentioned that your father would be
present when you sent the invitation card earlier. How dare she show up in a black gown? That’s a huge
disrespect toward the Actonwards!”
At first, Yvette was slightly bewildered when she heard the young lady talking about a black gown. The next moment, she
sneered.
Who else could it be wearing a black gown, if not Arielle?Good gracious, that idiot really shows up in that black gown!
Before this, she was still worried that Arielle might not wear the black gown. If that really happened, she still had a backup plan in
finding fault with Arielle, saying that the latter didn’t wear the dress she prepared for her. That way, the guests would naturally
think of Arielle as an ungrateful person.
On the other hand, if everything went according to her original plan and Arielle really wore the black gown, that would be a great
disrespect toward Russell.
Right then, the young lady went on saying, “Yvette, you’d better ask the bodyguards to deny her entry, or it will be big trouble if
your father sees her.”
Yvette nodded with a scowl on her face. “She’s here to ruin my birthday party! Don’t worry. I won’t let her enter!”
Unbeknownst to anyone, she was so excited that she couldn’t wait to see Arielle.

Excusing herself, she rushed downstairs to find her father..
After knocking on the door, she entered the study.
It was an all-white study where not a single black item could be seen. At first glance, it looked like a snow wonderland.
Smiling sweetly, she made her way toward Russell: “Dad, most of the guests have arrived. Why don’t you go down and give a
speech?”
Russell furrowed his brows as he folded the newspaper up. “No, I don’t think I’m going. I still feel uneasy about hiding the
cancelation of engagement with the Baker family from others. Besides, we didn’t invite the Bakers to the party. What if the guests
become suspicious?”
Upon the mentioning of the engagement, Yvette’s smile stiffened.
Yet, she managed to collect herself in no time. Once Arielle’s reputation got ruined, the Bakers would realize how important it
was to let Jordan marry her-a socialite from a respectable family.
Well, at least she wouldn’t disgrace her family name.
After all, marriage between prominent families was not only about the union of two families. More importantly, the married couple
represented the dignity and pride of the two families.
Even if Jordan doesn’t like me, what can he do?He can’t possibly defy his family, can he?
In truth, people like them had no say in their marriage. They could only accept arranged marriage for the sake of their family’s
interest
Hence, Yvette was determined to ruin Arielle!
