Chapter 43: Chapter 43
A car stopped at the entrance, as the driver's seat and the passengers seat opened at the same time
Riley stepped out of the car and stood aside as everyone took a breath
The sky blue gown that she wore looked breathtaking in her and it outlined her figure, the spilt at the center of the gown showed off her white legs
The driver's hurried over and opened the back passengers door
A fair leg stepped out of the car with the silver shoe gilitering on her fair skin, just the leg everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath
Taking the stretched out hand of the driver she stepped out if the car fully
"So Beautiful" The guests who just came couldn't help but exclaim
"I wonder who is she"
Muttering a thank you to the driver Lisa took a step forward slowly as Riley followed beside her
Although it looked like she was behind her, if one looked carefully they will see that Riley was a step behind Riley
"Can you do me a favor and restrain touching anyone even if they ask for a hand shake or a hug" Riley whispered
Entering the hall, the place were already filled with guests.
And although the came late it didn't prevent them from been noticed by the crowd
"Wow, is so Beautiful"
"I wonder who her designer is"
"Which family is she from"
"Is just a vixen that came to hook men" there were mixed reactiobds as some admired, some were curious about who she was and some were already dead with Envy
"Miss Smith you are here" Noel her father's personal secretary greeted after he walked up to her
"Uhm... I'm late right?" She asked as Joel nodded
"You should climb the podium for the speech" Noel instructed as Lisa raised her brows
"Speech??...What speech" She asked
"You have to give a speech and also issue the launch of a new product" listening to him she couldn't help but turn to Riley
"Why don't I know about this"
"If I told you, you wouldn't come" Riley defended herself leaving Lisa speechless
"Are you kidding me right now, what I'm o supposed to climb there and say"Lisa couldn't help but yell unconsciously as those nearby turned and looked towards them
~~"Why did secretary Moel go over to welcome her and he is still standing there
~~"I heard Secretary Noel call her Miss Smith"
~~"Come to think if it, Mr Smith isn't here do you think the daughter came to replace him
~~"Maybe she isn't his daughter but just an important guest
"Calm down ok just go there and say anything, no one will criticize you" Riley urged helplessly, this time she knew that it was really her mistake
Lisa glared at the two people that were looking at her, While Noel kept an Indifferent face like he didn't care Riley smiled at her flatteringly. She couldn't argue with them at this time as she walked over reluctantly towards the podium as Riley and Joel followed right behind her
She reached the podium as a flower bouquet was handed to her by a little girl, with a soft smile she bent slowly to the little girls height and accepted the flower from her
"Happy Fifth Anniversary" The little girl whispered leaving Lisa with a smile
"Thank you" Lisa said softly as she touched her cheeks slightly
Moving away from the little girl and continued going forward, this time it was a little bit who took out a flower crown,
Following the same routine Lisa vent her head slightly as the boy placed the crown on her head and he whispered to her
"You are a Queen", hearing him Lisa couldn't help but look at him in daze as the little boy smiled softly at her
Taking the first step up the podium she met the third child, she bent her head and let her place it on her neck
"You look Beautiful" The little girl whispered as Lisa smiled as her
Every action was accompanied with an applause from the audience
She walked up until she stood at the middle of the podium, at this time she had a flower at her neck, one on her head and she held a bouquet
She looked down and saw all the people who looked up to her, she suddenly wondered Did all this people look up to Dad
He had so many burdens on him and she couldn't even share one with him, Until now she never knew how heartless or selfish she is
He provided everything for her and made sure she lived a care free life but she never for once wondered how he was doing, He faced his enemies, faced his rivals at work, faced a huge burden at the company but he didn't forget to always check up on her and know how she was doing
All the killings she committed was covered up by him but she never knew the difficulties he faced for those actions.
The Large hall was unusually silent as everyone looked up at the girl standing on the podium, although she hasn't said anything but they still looked up at her puzzled
"The First kid told me Happy Fifth Anniversary, The second kid told me You are a Queen and the third me You look Beautiful" Her crisp voice sounded clearly in the hall
Riley and Noel couldn't help but look up in surprise, they didn't really expect her to start in this way
Everyone looked up as they looked forward to what she was going to say
But in the dark surroundings, the only light was focused on the Lady with a fiery red dress standing on the podium
Her crisp voice rang in everyone's mind and they wanted to hear more. More about what she is going to say
Liam stood at a spot as he watched his beloved stand at the podium as he stroked the wine on the wine glass
Tony looked at his prey as a smile appeared on his lips but no one knew what he was thinking
Mr Smith looked at his baby daughter through the screen with a slight smile on his lips
