Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
“What are we waiting for? Hurry up and choose a dress for tonight! Today is a great night to meet a wealthy man to marry!” So, the three girls left the cafe and went to a nearby shopping mall to buy clothes.
At 3.00PM, Ellen received a call from the haute couture boutique. Their car would meet her at the front door and drive her to the shop twenty minutes later.
Ellen packed up the evening gown she borrowed the night before and went downstairs twenty minutes later. She wasn’t as awkward in the boutique as she had been the day before. She found herself alone in the shop once more..
Did Jared book the shop for another two hours? “President Presgrave told me that you have a party to attend tonight, so we prepared multiple short evening gowns that look great on you.”
Ellen trusted the manager’s judgment, so she nodded and said, “All right!”
Upstairs in the fitting room, she tried on a blue tube-top evening gown, but it was too revealing for her. The manager recognized her as a conservative young lady right away and got a nude pink off-the- shoulder dress ready for Ellen to try on.
It looked good on Ellen and suited her personality perfectly. She didn’t have the usual look that was a result of plastic surgery. Her palm-sized face was round and a little chubby, but it fit her perfectly. Under the harsh light, one couldn’t see the pores on her face, and it appeared as delicate as a peeled, boiled egg. She looked like an innocent young girl.
The manager felt that Jared had good taste since there were very few girls this pretty yet well-behaved. “Miss Reiss, what about this one?” “Wow!” Ellen liked the evening gown as well and nodded. “Alright. I’ll wear this one!
She went through yet another process of makeup and picking out her accessories. She merely wanted a simple chain around her neck as an accessory and nothing else. Meanwhile, her makeup was suited for the occasion.
As for her hair, the hairstylist couldn’t think of a prettier style than her wearing it loose since her hair was naturally straight and smooth. Running a hand through it already gave her a unique charm. Ellen waited for Jared at the boutique while sipping her tea and reading a book. It was a great evening.
Meanwhile, in another boutique, Selena and her friends put on seductive low-cut gowns. They had already met with a rich heir and tonight, she had forced her way into the gathering consisting only of extremely wealthy heirs.
Dorothy was also one of the customers there, having dressed extravagantly in a black gown. However, the gown was designed to show off her assets the way she liked them since it exposed her back and waist, not to mention the low neckline.
They left at 5.00PM. The venue was in a racing club in the country, where a private racetrack had been built especially for racing. It was also where the battle would mainly take place. Since it was a racing club, there had to be some exciting racing sessions.
Jared’s sports car arrived at 5.30PM. His vehicle was gray, which surprised Ellen since this had been the first time that she saw it. It was obvious that it was a limited-edition car.
He politely opened the passenger door for her and sped towards the street in the sunset as the attendants watched enviously. Several black four-wheel drives immediately followed him like a shadow.
After stopping at a traffic light, Jared’s eyes began to study Ellen. She did look pretty in everything. Her dark hair fell onto her shoulders and it concealed her elegant neck slightly. which made him swallow. He stared at her side profile and nearly forgot that the light had turned green.
The driver behind him only dared to press the horn after several seconds to alert him, and Jared stepped on the accelerator and rushed off. He was already 100 meters away by the time the car behind him started driving, which made the young man behind the wheel exclaim, “What racing car is that? It’s so fast!”
Several four-wheel drives then followed him like galloping wild horses. The sight was shocking to the bystanders, who looked like they had seen a grand scene from a movie.
Selena and her friends happily alighted the car in the parking lot of the racing club. As soon as she got off, she saw an extraordinarily handsome man not far away and it made her heart stutter. The man was sitting on the front bonnet of his car and facing the sunset as he made a call.
“Goodness, who is he?” She was immediately attracted to him. Lulu recognized him instantly and explained, “He’s Lambert Orey, the eldest son of the Blue Ocean Group shipping empire.”
At that point, Selena thought to herself, This man shall be my target for tonight. While he doesn’t look wealthier than Jared, his looks and body are flawless.
At that moment, a man approached Lambert as he tapped on his phone and asked him, “It’s so lively inside. Why don’t you come in?”
“I didn’t want to come.” Lambert watched his screen as his slender fingers tapped away rapidly. “There are so many pretty girls here. Why don’t you pick a few?”
“I’m not interested.” “You can have any woman here and entertain yourself with as many of them as you want.” The man lowered his voice as he already seemed excited.
Lambert rolled his eyes at him. “Are they that fun to play with?”
The man sounded confused when he asked, “Don’t tell me you like men!” Lambert snorted. “My time and effort are extremely valuable, and these women don’t deserve me wasting it on them.”
His lips turned up as he murmured, “Unless I meet one who is worth my time and effort.”
“When the doctor advised us to discontinue treatment, there was a boy in desperate need of a heart in the ER. As we were about to leave the hospital, we were suddenly summoned to discuss organ donation. Finally, we donated Kev’s heart to the boy, and his family later donated 100 million to us,” Olivia stated.
Selena’s eyes widened as she couldn’t believe the family’s money came from this source Furthermore, it was Kevin, Ellen’s brother, who obtained it for them. “Mom, the person in desperate need of a heart in the past was Young Master Jared, right?” she said after taking a deep breath.
“That’s correct. As a result, the Presgrave Family has always been grateful to us. They will assist us with anything, including your studies. Because of their assistance, you could study abroad and attend a prestigious university.”
“Can we still ask for more money, Mom?” “Without a doubt. However, we have sufficient funds.”
“We’re not particularly wealthy, Mom. You have no idea how real billionaires live their lives. They can purchase a purse worth millions without batting an eyelid! That is something we can never imagine!” Dorothy had humiliated Selena badly. As a result, Selena despised the fact that her family was not wealthy enough
“We can’t compete with those billionaires, but don’t we have it all? Besides, Connor is not a glutton. We can’t ask for more when we have enough,” Olivia stated. She desired more, but Connor never requested it. Does Ellen know about this, Mom?”
“We will never tell her. We’ll take this secret with us to the grave. Otherwise, Ellen will cause us problems. The Presgraves will then learn the truth. We have no way of explaining this to the family.”
Selena was finally feeling much better. So, Ellen’s brother is entirely responsible for our prosperity and wealth. On the other hand, Ellen reaped no benefits as Kevin’s younger sister “I will keep it a secret from her, Mom,” she assured her mother.
“Only the three of us will know the truth, and no one else should.” Olivia kept warning Selena. “Okay, I will never leak the secret!” Selena promised, not wanting to lose her wealth as well.
“So, Young Master Jared’s heart came from Kevin. Is the young master aware of this, Mom?”
“Certainly not. Young Master Jared was only ten years old at the time. He appeared to have left the country after having his heart replaced.
Furthermore, he had no contact with us.” Selena reasoned that she couldn’t tell Jared about it. He would spoil Ellen if he knew the truth.
“Mom, we have to figure something out! What if Young Master Jared suddenly feels uneasy about his heart and goes to see a doctor about it? Then, he’ll realize Kevin is Ellen’s brother!”
“It’s not possible!” Olivia became pale when she heard that.
“Can we turn Kevin into Dad’s child and make him my brother, Mom? Simply inform everyone that I am Kevin’s sister and Ellen is Kevin’s cousin. Then, Young Master Jared will repay me when he discovers that.”
Olivia was taken aback when she heard Selena’s words. “What are you on about, Lena?”
Selena had suffered severe humiliation earlier on so at this point, she was having a lot of crazy ideas running through her head. She sat next to Olivia and took her arm before saying, “Mom, I believe my plan is feasible.
Allow Kevin to be Dad’s illegitimate son and thus, my elder brother Because Kevin has died, Young Master Jared cannot discover the truth. If the young master decides to investigate, Kevin’s body is long gone and there is nothing left to perform a DNA paternity test on.”
Meanwhile, Olivia had never considered such a bold idea before. However, after hearing Selena’s words, she felt it made sense.
“Let me consider it. I can’t decide on my own. Your father must help you with this.” It was late at night by the time Olivia finished speaking. Then, she told Selena, “You should go to bed right now. I’m tired as well.”
When Jared followed Ellen’s line of sight and spotted Selena, he quickly drew Ellen to their seats at the head of the table. As Ellen sat down, her gaze was drawn to Dorothy, who was sitting across from her, and she was surprised to find Dorothy at the gathering as well. However, Dorothy scowled at her with intense hatred.
At that moment, Ryan welcomed another guest who walked in. “Mr. Orey, you made it inside. Come, have a seat.”
Lambert then drew out a seat directly across from Jared and sat down. It was apparent from the seating chart that those at the head table would be the most influential of those in attendance. Therefore, those seats belonged to Jared and Lambert.
