Seven Years a Shadow: The Stand-In's Escape novel Chapter 64

The guests’ gazes toward me changed, and the live stream audience started flooding the screen with comments, eager to know the truth.

Daniel pondered for a moment, then looked at me and asked, “Jennifer, what is your relationship with Isla?”

“Why did she give you this one and only invitation?”

Daniel had asked the question on everyone’s mind.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, waiting for my answer.

But before I could speak, Olivia jumped in, “I know! She must have stolen the invitation!”

“How could a washed-up, good-for-nothing woman like her possibly know someone as top-notch as Isla?”

Upon hearing this, Charlie nodded and, while sizing me up, said seriously, “Exactly, just look at her pitiful appearance. She’s not even worthy of holding Isla’s shoes!”

“Security!”

“Get this crazy woman out of here! Don’t let her ruin my and Isla's wedding!”

At his command, the hotel security quickly surrounded me.

Just as they were about to escort me out, a cold female voice suddenly rang out.

“I want to see who dares to lay a hand on my mother!”

Everyone turned to look.

There, in the midst of the crowd, stood Isla, dressed in a high-end wedding gown. She looked like a fairy descending from heaven—her face exquisite, her aura regal, and her beauty so mesmerizing that people couldn’t look away.

But it was her words that were even more shocking than her appearance.

Charlie was the first to react.

He quickly stepped forward and asked Isla in confusion, “Isla, why are you calling Jennifer your mother?”

Olivia quickly joined in, trying to curry favor, “Yes, Isla, I’m Charlie’s mother.”

“Jennifer is just a foolish woman with money, oh no, now she doesn’t even have money.”

“Don’t make a mistake!”

Daniel also nodded repeatedly, his expression serious.

“Yes, Isla, you might not know our family’s situation very well.”

“Jennifer once raised Charlie, but she has no blood relation to him.”

“You don’t need to give Jennifer this face for Charlie’s sake.”

“She’s not worthy!”

Upon hearing their words, the people at the scene suddenly understood.

“Looks like President Green mistook her for someone else, probably thought Jennifer was her future mother-in-law, and sent her the wrong invitation.”

“That explains it, I was wondering how Jennifer could suddenly have a daughter.”

“Now Jennifer is going to be slapped in the face again.”

“Sigh, I can't bear to watch.”

The live stream comments flooded the screen, saying they were waiting for the love-struck woman to finally wake up and stop worshipping Olivia and her family.

However, at that moment, Isla’s face was as cold as ice.

She looked at Charlie with an aura of authority, then, under everyone’s gaze, slowly walked toward me.

“Honestly, you disgust me more than anyone!”

Charlie angrily yelled at me, “You really know how to act. You have a daughter who's richer than the country, yet you still live in a shabby house, eating porridge and buns?”

“How, for two hundred bucks in support, you’re willing to endure all this suffering to get yourself into the game?”

“How can anyone be as hypocritical and disgusting as you?!”

The three of them—each of them taking turns to insult me—rained down insults.

After listening to them, Isla’s expression suddenly darkened.

“Your family really has some nerve.”

“My mom has given you everything, decades of care and sacrifice. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also bully and slander her?”

“Do you think everyone is as despicable and vile as you?!”

Isla was furious, and Daniel was also fuming.

“Grateful to her? Does she deserve it?”

“As a woman, what’s the point of having all that wealth?”

“Just give me all her assets, and everything will be fine!”

Olivia looked at me with disdain. “Jennifer, do you have no shame? If you’re upset, just be honest and say it.”

“Using your bastard daughter to seduce Charlie and create a wedding to get revenge—what’s so impressive about that?”

Charlie also glared at me in anger.

Then, he turned to Isla and said.
