The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 458

Everyone gathered around Grandma Jill and Rachel, all of them amazed that they could have raised a daughter as impressive as Ella.

Tonight’s dinner party was packed with elites from every walk of life, exactly the kind of crowd Grandma Jill had always dreamed of mingling with. She’d spent her whole life chasing attention, wanting nothing more than to be envied by everyone in the room.

For years, she pinned her hopes on Jessa and Maureen. She was so caught up in her fantasy of Jessa marrying David and Maureen snagging Doctor E, convinced those two would finally help her reach the top.

But it turned out, what Jessa and Maureen couldn’t do, Ella pulled off without breaking a sweat.

Now, Grandma Jill finally had what she wanted. Everyone envied her.

Only, it didn’t feel the way she imagined.

Grandma Jill tried to smile, but it came out awkward and forced.

Rachel’s fists clenched at her sides. The smile she managed was so stiff, it looked almost painful.

Just then, Ella glanced over at them, her lips curving into a sly smile. “You really shouldn’t bother asking Grandma Jill or Mrs. Irvine for advice. I’ve already cut ties with both of them.”

The room fell silent for a moment, everyone stunned.

“Doctor E, why did you cut ties with the Irvine family?” someone finally asked.

Ella stood, the chandelier casting a warm glow over her as she walked toward Grandma Jill and Rachel. Her voice carried through the room. “Most of you probably know I grew up in the countryside. I wasn’t raised in the Irvine house. My childhood was spent in a small rural town.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd began to murmur.

“I heard Ella was sent to the countryside by her own mother when she was just a little girl,” someone whispered.

“But why? Isn’t Ella her real daughter?” another asked.
