The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356: Don’t Want to Outshine The Bride-to-be

Simon and Manager Kang weren’t the only ones distracted by the bright figure walking into the hall. How could they not be? Against the warm, elegant glow of the venue lights, something as blinding as a police car’s siren was suddenly flashing in the middle of the room.

"Forget the blinding color choices—what is that?" one of the guests blurted out in disbelief.

Lola’s outfit was already an assault on the eyes, but her makeup was a whole new level of disaster. Her hair was curled so tightly that even telephone wires would have straightened out of shame. Her foundation was piled on so thick it looked like it would take two full bottles of makeup remover to undo it.

Moments ago, all attention had been on the newly engaged couple. Then, the guests’ excitement had shifted to the prospect of meeting Mrs. Bennet — such a distinguished, high-profile guest. But now? All previous thoughts evaporated the instant Lola appeared.

At first, no one knew who this chaotic vision was until she stopped near Chairman Lancaster’s table. Then it clicked.

"Wait, isn’t that Lola Young? The rebellious daughter of Lawrence and Loren Young?" gasped one of the guests. "Oh my goodness!"

"I’ve heard so many stories about her! I thought they were exaggerated, but who knew they were true?"

"Poor Loren," another woman whispered, shaking her head. "Something must have gone terribly wrong while raising her."

One after another, guests murmured in dismay. There wasn’t a shred of doubt left in anyone’s mind about all the rumors surrounding Lawrence’s other daughter.

The stories were always the same: that Lola Young was strange, wild, and difficult. That she was the failed, rebellious daughter — the complete opposite of Melissa.

Most people never cared enough to think about it before. But tonight changed that. Tonight, Lola single-handedly confirmed every rumor they’d ever heard.

"I guess Melissa’s just too kind," one woman said, shaking her head. "I was wondering where the other daughter was. I assumed they didn’t invite her to avoid trouble. But it seems they actually did — what a mistake."

"Or she crashed the party," another guest remarked knowingly. "If I were them, I wouldn’t have invited her either. But seeing her now, I understand completely."

While everyone whispered and gawked at the sore sight in the middle of this elegant event, Lola calmly ignored them.

"As I was saying..." Lawrence trailed off mid-sentence, eyes widening as he caught sight of something glowing near the chairman’s table. Slowly, he lifted his gaze, and his heart stopped.

Even Jasmine’s mouth fell open, speechless. Lola rarely appeared before them, but every time she did, she somehow managed to disappoint them further.

Meanwhile, Travis furrowed his brows at the Youngs’ reactions. The murmurs around him grew louder. When he turned to look — and saw Lola — even he froze.

"Lola?" he called, making the chairman turn his head.

The moment Chairman Lancaster saw her, he frowned. But unlike the others, his expression wasn’t out of disgust — it was concern. He had told Lola not to come tonight, for her own peace. And yet, here she was.

"Good evening, Grandpa," Lola greeted sweetly, her focus on him.

"Lola, my dear child, what are you doing here?" the chairman asked quietly. "I told you that you didn’t need to attend tonight’s engagement party."

Travis raised an eyebrow, glancing at the chairman. Knowing only the two of them understood the context, he quickly spoke up to prevent any misunderstanding.

"Lola, the chairman’s just worried about you," Travis said, his voice loud enough for others to hear. "He’s always approved of you as his granddaughter-in-law. You didn’t have to come tonight."

Lola smiled. "I know that, but how could I refuse when my stepmother and Melissa invited me so eagerly?"

"What?" Jasmine blurted before biting her tongue. When did I ever ask you to come?!
