The Wife They Tried to Replace Is Now Untouchable novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Jessica stood on the second floor of the hotel and gared out of the window. She could see the stream of vehicles stopping one by one at the entrance. Everyone attending was someone of considerable wealth or status.

She felt everything was a bit surreal. After seven long years, she returned to the place she originally belonged to.

Brian came to the hotel alone. After being turned away twice when attempting to meet Dereck, he knew he had to come in person to find out why Grant Group rejected the proposal to cooperate with Atkinson Group

Someone whispered, “I heard this party is held for the future heiress of Grant Group”

Another person replied. “Yes, Mr. Grant did mention it in private.

Another man chimed in, ‘As far as I know, Mr. Grant only has one daughter, doesn’t he?”

Someone else retorted. “He does have only one daughter. Why? Can’t a daughter inherit a company?”

That man was at a loss for words. He then replied. “That’s not what I meant. I just find it strange. There wasn’t a whisper of this before. Why did Mr. Grant suddenly plan to have his daughter take over the company?”

Standing nearby. Brian listened to their conversation, his expression showing mild curiosity.

He wondered. Could this heiress be the reason Grant Group rejected our partnership?”

At that moment, he had not yet made any connection between Jessica and Grant Group. He simply assumed he needed to get to know this so- called heiress

Elsewhere, Madeline arrived with an invitation in hand. Her evening gown was borrowed at great cost.

She cast a greedy glance across the hall, taking in the men and women inside. Every single person here had power, wealth, or connections. Making acquaintances with any one of them would be a gain in her eyes

Scanning the crowd, Madeline immediately spotted Brian among the crowd.

“Hey, Mr. Atkinson. She walked over and greeted him with a light smile.

Brian frowned slightly. “Why are you here?”

Madeline replied. “I heard Grant Group rejected our partnership. After asking around. I learned their heiress had returned. I thought there might have been some misunderstanding, so I asked someone for an invitation.”

“Mr. Atkinson, I came without consulting you. That was my mistake.” She added, her face turning slightly pale.

Brian had nothing more to say hearing her apology.

Most of the guests had arrived, and the special lighting illuminated the staircase leading to the second floor.

Dereck appeared at the top of the stairs and announced. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to the Grant family’s party. There’s ne particular agenda tonight. I simply wanted to introduce my daughter to you. Hope you can look after her in the future.”

Thunderous applause erupted. Under the spotlight, all eyes turned with curiosity toward the top of the stairs.

Brian raised his eyebrows. He was curious about the person who had not even officially taken over yet but had already refused their partnership.

Next to him. Madeline stood frozen in place. She also had inquired beforehand and knew that this grand, high–profile party was arranged by Dereck specifically for his daughter to gain public recognition of her status as the heiress.

Bathed in attention under the lights, Madeline was full of envy.

She sighed inwardly. This is what a true heiress born with a silver spoon looks like. People like her are on a completely different level from us.”

To someone like that, Madeline felt only immense admiration. There wasn’t even room for jealousy.
