Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 558:
Chapter 558: Chapter 561: Emily Taylor Slaps the Face Again (1)
That’s always been the custom of the Presidential Palace.
Such a high-profile, grand banquet.
Not only would they provide custom-made dresses for the guests, but they would also send senior officials to personally escort the distinguished guests.
The reason Hannah Ford came today,
Was because she was accompanied by someone from the Presidential Palace, specifically to put Emily Taylor in her place.
Standing outside the Lucas family home, Hannah saw Emily appear,
And unconsciously lifted her chin, revealing an extremely arrogant and proud expression.
She looked at Emily and slowly opened her mouth: “Mrs. Lucas, long time no see.”
“What are you doing here?” Emily cast her a glance.
Even after seeing the vehicle with the Presidential Palace logo behind her,
Emily’s expression remained indifferent, without the fear and surprise that Hannah expected.
“Mrs. Lucas, I came here today to visit Ethan Wilson before I leave.”
“You may not know that these people are officials from the Presidential Palace. I have been invited to attend a private dinner hosted by the First Lady herself. Before departure, I hope to see Ethan.”
Hannah’s voice was soft and gentle, but her eyes revealed arrogance.
It was as if she couldn’t wait to see Emily bow her head to her.
However… even after hearing the words ‘Presidential Palace’, Emily remained unmoved.
“Heh, I told you last time. Our Lucas family doesn’t welcome you…”
“Mrs. Lucas, last time was different. Now… the situation is not the same as before.”
Hannah pursed her lips and deliberately lowered her voice.
“I advise you to think about it carefully. If I can’t see Ethan, I might be very sad. If I get too upset and say something I shouldn’t to the First Lady, I’m afraid… it will damage your reputation.”
With the support of the Presidential Palace and Mrs. Holbrook not being around, Hannah no longer pretended to be pitiful.
She directly brought up the First Lady.
Thinking that Emily would be intimidated.
Little did she know that if she hadn’t mentioned it,
Emily wouldn’t have been thoroughly provoked.
Emily listened to her words and gave a cold smile.
Such a fool, she didn’t even know that she was going to her own doom.
She was foolish enough to try to intimidate her with the daughter of a mistress.
Emily was not the type to be frightened easily.
“Reputation damaged?”
Emily revealed a cold smile, “Miss Ford, you’re worrying too much. Since the First Lady’s invitation didn’t reach my hands, it’s already preserving my reputation.”
“You… what do you mean…”
“It means nothing.”
Emily smiled lightly, “After all, this time, Miss Ford is one of the distinguished guests invited by the First Lady. It’s so lucky that I’m not on the guest list this time, otherwise… I might have inadvertently lowered the standards and would be embarrassed explaining it to acquaintances in the future.”
“You—” Hannah didn’t expect that Emily would dare to disrespect the First Lady’s face.
She knew that Emily must be pretending.
She must have been jealous of her!
“Hmph, Mrs. Lucas doesn’t have to pretend to be indifferent. The Presidential Palace, who wouldn’t want to go there…”
“Being invited by the First Lady is a symbol of one’s status and position. Mrs. Lucas, if you weren’t invited and still ridicule others, isn’t it a bit petty?”
“Petty? Pfft—” This time, Emily couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
“Miss Ford is young, so I don’t blame you for your shallow vision. You probably don’t know that my grandfather was once the president of Eastonia. Coincidentally, I grew up in the Presidential Palace when I was little.”
“Unlike Miss Ford who is visiting the Presidential Palace for the first time, I, Emily Taylor, am not at all curious about it. However, seeing how much Miss Ford cares, I thought I’d give you a heads up.”
