"... You're Heather Denmark!" Allen shouted in surprise, with an angry face as he felt that he had been fooled.
"Yes, it's me," Heather calmly took off her mask. In the bright light, her face appeared very charming.
Pointing at her, Allen said furiously, "Who gave you the courage? How dare you pretend to be Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family!"
Everyone was taken aback and looked at Allen in disbelief.
Was he a fool?
This was a private party, and the focus of the party was Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family. How could anyone possibly impersonate her?
Hearing his words, Carol almost fell to the ground before she could walk over.
Damn it! If she had known what a stupid fellow he was, she would never have relented, agreed to her friend's request, and brought him to the party!
The next moment, Carol hurried to come to Heather. Seeing her, Allen felt more confident.
He said with an angry face. "You've come just in time, Miss Anderson. Look at this woman, she is so bold as to pretend to be Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family! You'd better ask Lady Heather Denmark to come out and let her fix this woman!"
Heather wore a half-smile. Allen hadn't understood until now. He was so stupid. How was he able to grab H & C Inc.?
Carol looked at Allen as if he were an idiot. "Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family is here."
"She's here?" Allen looked around and said as if his heart were full of righteous indignation. "I think it's time to kick this woman out..."
Allen had already made a plan. As long as Heather was kicked out, Alexander, who was so protective of her, would definitely defend her. Alexander was awesome, but he was no match for Denmark's family. When Alexander became enemies with the Denmark family, Allen would take the chance to take over his H & C Inc..
At the thought of it, Allen was very happy, as if H & C Inc. were already in his hands! But where was Lady Heather Denmark? Why didn't he see anyone coming?
"Miss Anderson, where is Miss Denmark?"
Allen asked, dazed. Carol let out a sneer. "Isn't she right in front of you?"
Allen was even more dazed. "Right in front of me? Who is it?"
All of a sudden, his eyes fell on Heather in front of him.
Was it possible that... Heather Denmark was the Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family?
No! How was that possible?
Wasn't she a commoner? Besides, she should be a gold-digger who had dumped her kind-hearted ex-boyfriend for Alexander! How could she possibly be Lady Heather Denmark?
However, come to think of it, it seemed that all the information he had heard was from Malcolm Carter, who had talked to himself! Furthermore, wasn't Heather Denmark's surname Denmark?
Was it possible that he had been deceived by Malcolm Carter?
No! No way! Allen had a fluke mind. He
was unwilling to accept the fact.
After all, if Heather were really the Denmark family's Lady Heather Denmark, it would not only mean that he had offended her, it would also mean that Alexander had the Denmark family as a backer!
How would he be able to accept that?!
"Haven't I already introduced her to you?" Carol had a sneer on her face as she said, "Do you need me to introduce again before you can figure out who Lady Heather Denmark is?"
Her words totally shattered Allen's last hope.
His legs went weak. He staggered and almost fell flat on the ground. Thankfully, he came to his senses in time, so he could regain his balance.
A sneer rang out from the crowd. "What was he trying to do? Beg for forgiveness on his knees?" someone said.
The people around laughed. "Maybe."
These people present were all unusually lucky persons. They had been superior, so when they saw such a shameless, thick-skinned person, they didn't want to be polite anymore.
Allen was livid with anger. If kneeling down to beg for Heather for forgiveness was useful, he would have done it already. However, he had totally offended Heather. No matter how he begged, there would be no way he could whitewash all the stupid things he had done!
Since there was no hope, he could at least preserve his little dignity before he left, which could perhaps impress Heather.
"Miss Denmark, I didn't expect that there would be such a big misunderstanding." Allen forced a smile and said, "I know you dislike me very much now, and no matter how I defend myself, you won't believe me. Still, I want you to understand that you were born with a silver spoon and may be used to all kinds of jewelry, but the earrings are my kindness.
"No matter how much you hate me, you can't say it doesn't deserve you. This is a pair of earrings that are worth 200,000 dollars instead of 2,000 dollars! I want to give it to you as a friend. Isn't that valuable enough? Do you dare to say that any of your other friends have given you more valuable gifts?
Everyone looked at him and became more speechless.
Was he an idiot? Yes. Besides, he was clearly a clown! Even if the earrings were real, they would only be worth 200,000 dollars. Was it worth his great efforts?
"Heather," Carl said, came over and opened a box, "this is your graduation gift, a sapphire necklace. It's not expensive. It's worth only twenty million dollars."
Twenty million!
Allen's eyes were momentarily fixed on the sapphire necklace, and his face turned pale. He had seen it at an auction the other day, and he knew Carl Anderson had bought it.. However, he directly gave it to Heather? Besides, Heather took it without hesitation, as if it was not a sapphire necklace but a common chain!
Carl's behavior slapped Allen hard in the face!
Nevertheless, what happened next made him refresh his three views again and again.
"Heather, here's a present for you. It's one of my grandfather's treasured paintings. It is not expensive either. It's just appraised to be worth eight million dollars."
"Heather, my gift is a little vulgar. I heard. that you want to go to Sea Island for a holiday, so I will give you a house on the island, which is only worth ten million dollars. I hope you will like it."
***
Everyone came to Heather and gave her gifts that were jewelry, antiques, paintings, cars, and motorboats, but whatever they gave her as a gift, the cheapest was worth several million dollars.
The slaps almost made Allen doubt his life.
Nevertheless, something that made him more embarrassed happened.
"Heather, my brother and I bought that sapphire necklace together," Carol said with a chuckle, "but then I realized we're so close that I must give you a gift by myself, so…."
