Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 765

Chapter 765: Chapter 766

Serena had just returned from the restroom when she caught sight of Romeo, his arm wrapped snugly

around Rosemary’s slender waist, boldly announcing to everyone, "She’s the one for me, the love of my life."

Serena stood rooted to the spot and felt like being struck by lightning. It was unbelievable to her that a man like Romeo would make such a public declaration.

"Congratulations, Mr. McMillian, on finding your soulmate," many guests came forward with their well-wishes.

"I heard a rumor that Mr. McMillian was engaged to Miss Collins. I thought it was true, but it seems it was just gossip."

"How did Mr. McMillian and Jamie Noelle meet? We’re all so curious."

"It must have been Mr. McMillian who pursued Miss Noelle, right?"

"Wasn’t it Miss Noelle who butted into someone else’s relationship first?"

That last comment froze the atmosphere instantly.

Everyone turned their eyes to the person who gave the comment in the crowd. It was Madeline. She probably hadn’t expected her muttered words to attract so much attention.

A path was cleared, leaving Madeline exposed under Romeo and Rosemary’s scrutinizing gaze.

"What do you mean by that?" Rosemary asked, cutting straight to the chase.

Romeo’s gaze also settled on Madeline. "Making things up out of thin air?"

Madeline, who had never been one to handle such confrontations, especially not against such a glamorous couple, faltered, "Isn’t it true?"

Her voice had noticeably diminished.

The guests around, murmured among themselves.

"Could the McMillian-Collins engagement rumor be true, and did Romeo and Serena really split because Jamie Noelle got involved?"

"No way, Jamie Noelle always seemed so aloof and dignified. She wouldn’t do something like that."

"But Madeline doesn’t look like the type to spread rumors either."

"Who told you that?" Rosemary had her suspicions.

Madeline, under immense pressure, countered, "Is it true?"

"Would you believe me if I said it wasn’t?"

Madeline was indeed skeptical.

"So, did Serena tell you?" Rosemary speculated.

Serena’s heart sank upon hearing her name. Who was this Madeline to drag her into this mess?

"Or was it Lindsay?" Rosemary seemed to have pieced it together.

All eyes shifted to Lindsay, who was attempting to sneak away but found herself unable to speak or move under everyone’s gaze.

Damn it. What was Madeline playing at, drawing the fire onto her, especially with Romeo right there?

"Smearing the person I care for comes with a price," Romeo’s chilling gaze fell on Lindsay. "You have three seconds to come clean."

"Mr. McMillian." Lindsay hadn’t expected the blame to fall on her.

"One." Romeo’s patience had run out, his voice sending shivers down one’s spine.

"Mr. McMillian, please, let me explain."

Before Lindsay could finish, Romeo interrupted with a stern, "Two."

His tone was unyielding and merciless.

On one side was the pretty but vain heiress, and on the other, a talented and beautiful artist. No wonder Romeo would choose the latter.

Though that’s what people thought, no one dared to speak their mind or show any disrespect to Romeo. They all just stood by to watch the drama unfolding silently.

Romeo smirked coldly. Again, Serena.

Rosemary was left speechless. Serena, always up to her tricks, never failed fooling one person after another. When would it come to an end?

"Bring Serena to me," Rosemary instructed a servant.

The servant, having worked for the Eugene family for years, obeyed Rosemary as if she were Eugene’s own granddaughter.

Seeing the servant approach, Serena angrily shook off Martin’s hand, "If you won’t leave, I will!"

Then she tried to escape the scene at a run.

However, She was stopped as the servant instructed via earpiece all the other servants to block her path. Soon enough, Serena was brought to Rosemary.

"Did you tell Lindsay that you and Romeo were in love? That I was the one who came between you?"

Rosemary asked with a hint of amusement, facing the liar before her.

In front of Romeo, Serena dared not lie, but with all the guests watching, she didn’t want to be humiliated either.

Getting a brainstorm all of a sudden, she slapped Lindsay across the face.

Lindsay was stunned. What was happening??

Even Lindsay’s father, Bruno, was confused, "What’s wrong with you? You think just because you’re the Collins heiress you can do whatever you like? Lindsay is my precious girl, it’s not your place to slap her."

"Lindsay, I can’t believe you’d go this far!" Serena lashed out in feigned anger.
