Cheated Once Cherished Forever: The Billionaire's Bride novel Chapter 73

"Hey, Nick. What's up with that woman with Theo?" someone asked.

That person was most likely Henry Babcock.

Isabella had just stepped out of the washroom when she heard people talking about her in the smoking room outside. So, she stepped back into the washroom.

In a casual and slightly mocking tone, Yannick replied, "What do you mean what's up with her? Theo has finally gotten married, so let's just watch our mouths. Don't blabber."

"What could we possibly blabber about? Plus, do we even need to blabber? Anyone with eyes can tell how similar Ms. Moore and Queenie are in terms of their appearances."

"That's rubbish! They don't look that much alike. If anything, it's just their eyes."

"Isn't that enough? This is where the problem lies! I've never heard of Theo having any woman around him. Yet, she just popped out of nowhere, and they got married. Don't you think everything happened too quickly?"

Yannick coughed but did not reply.

Henry continued, "Nick, now that Queenie came back all of a sudden, what do you think Theo plans on doing?"

Yannick pretended not to understand. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Henry pointed at him, chuckling. "Quit pretending. Theo is obviously seeing Isabella as a substitute. Now that the actual person, Queenie, has returned, how is he going to keep facing that knock-off?"

Just then, Yannick finished smoking a cigarette. He put it out and walked out, saying nonchalantly, "Let's just wait for the outcome, then. Why are you so worried? It's not like we have a say in Theo's matters."

Isabella waited until the pair's footsteps faded before she walked out of the washroom. From the look on her face, no one could really tell what she was feeling at this moment. She simply looked like she had just heard some gossip that had nothing to do with her.

Nevertheless, no one knew how tightly her fists were clenched. She balled her fists so tightly that her hands felt numb.

It did not hurt. It did not hurt at all. She had prepared herself mentally, so why would it hurt?

By the time she got back to the front yard, everyone was seated there, chatting away joyfully with one another.

As the only female in their circle, Queenie was like the darling of the group. Everyone revolved around her while she sat quietly next to Theodore, carefully peeling an orange for him.

As the two sat next to one another, they looked like a great match.

Isabella examined Queenie's face from afar, trying to identify any facial characteristics that were different from hers. Truth be told, they didn't look very much alike. Yet, the more Isabella looked at her, the more she felt like she was looking at herself.

So, was she really a substitute for Queenie? Was this the real reason Theodore had chosen to marry her?
